Our ultimate goal in life is to seek the ever-affectionate creator, Allah swt. (Al-Wadood).

[0:01][Music] respected brothers and sisters first and foremost I bid you the

[0:19]Islamic greeting of Allah subhanahu waala out of his endless and infinite

[0:31]Mercy placed Us in this world in the middle of a vast

[0:35]universe and he made for us a purpose in three main factors

[0:45]or points number one we need to find Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala

[0:51]number two we need to recognize acknowledge his existence and then number

[0:57]three after doing these two factors we need to establish a connection

[1:06]with him an everlasting connection that will ultimately impact our destination in

[1:11]this world and in the Hereafter once once we are blessed to

[1:21]be able to identify Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala recognize him then we

[1:26]can say that we have ultimately reached the peak the climax the

[1:32]Pinnacle of purpose in life we can say that finding Allah that

[1:37]goal is sufficient for for me and I don't need anything else

[1:45]IM husin beautifully describes this in Du when he said oh Allah

[1:55]what did he find he who lost you and what did he

[2:00]lose he who found you now for us to be able to

[2:08]reach such a stage such a level we again need to be

[2:10]knowledgeable about Allah and our main goal is for us to seek

[2:19]him that's why what does he say you are the object of

[2:27]my search of my desire now when you get to know someone

[2:38]anyone and you start to know more and more about that person

[2:43]and you start to sense some kind of connection some kind of

[2:49]Harmony some kind of Attraction as creatures of emotion you will notice

[2:55]that up and down your body you'll sense emotions you'll sense feelings

[3:00]especially if that's someone that again you find harmony with this is

[3:07]all summarized in one word love you start to love that other

[3:14]entity now when you move from a stage of just simply knowing

[3:16]someone to loving them something happens that thing is you do not

[3:25]become acceptant and satisfied with simply knowing them you have that eagerness

[3:29]that desire ire that you want to express that love you want

[3:35]to perform actions to show your love to that other person so

[3:42]your goal transforms from Simply knowing that entity to seeking its pleasurement

[3:50]you find that IM in one of his supplications what does he

[3:58]say allaham muhamad oh Allah send your blessings on Muhammad and His

[4:08]holy pry and empty my heart from anything from everything just so

[4:16]it's so there's sufficient uh uh place or space to Encompass and

[4:20]pour your love in it that is the absolute that's the peak

[4:27]of Love right there for you now when we talk about love

[4:31]we know that the most efficient the most effective the most Everlasting

[4:38]Love relationship is one that is mutual meaning if love is from

[4:42]one side if it's one-sided love let's say this is the entity

[4:45]that's loving this is the entity that is not showing love back

[4:52]what happens after a while he's showing love he's showing love if

[4:55]that other party is not returning it somehow then that that party

[5:00]eventually will be tired we'll stop showing and expressing that love likewise

[5:07]when we seek Allah subhah wa ta'ala when we know him when

[5:14]we love him what does Allah subhana wa taala do to us

[5:17]what is his reaction what is his side of the story brothers

[5:24]and sisters the relationship is still Mutual it's reciprocal meaning if you

[5:31]analyze the names of Allah subhanahu wa taala you will notice that

[5:34]one unique name of his is [Music] Al the most loving the

[5:45]ever loving meaning that Allah subhah wa ta'ala not only does he

[5:50]show love he is the manifestation of Love of affection and that

[5:55]translates into His blessings into his favors that he bestows upon us

[6:01]that transforms into the guidance that he puts us through that transforms

[6:09]into the Forgiveness the doors of repentance that he opens for us

[6:13]I ask you if someone loves you to that extent and before

[6:19]I forget there's one unique definition of alwad it has three different

[6:24]special characteristics it's not like how we love one another Allah subhah

[6:29]when he says I'm Al his love is intense his love is

[6:36]constant his love is Everlasting I tell you if someone if there's

[6:43]any entity who loves you to that extent With No Boundaries then

[6:48]you will feel imposed that you want to love that entity as

[6:52]much as you can you want to show as much love as

[6:57]possible to that entity and you find IM aliam beautifully beautifully resembles

[7:05]this what does he say Allah oh Allah you are to me

[7:16]what I love you to be so allow me to be what

[7:22]you love me to be beautiful profound so from that we can

[7:26]conclude in this introduction that number one we need to know Allah

[7:30]subh waala number two once we know Allah subhah wa ta'ala we

[7:33]get the sense and the emotion of love that transforms into US

[7:39]wanting to perform acts to gain his acceptance so ultimately we can

[7:45]be considered as top worshippers worshippers that IM describes he has a

[7:53]famous Hadith which categorizes the levels of worshippers and at the Pinnacle

[7:59]of that IM [Music] says people amongst the worshippers are people who

[8:16]worship Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala purely for his love and this is

[8:20]the expression of worship of the three of The Three Men and

[8:26]that is the best kind of worship so what is the root

[8:31]what's the way how can we show our love to Allah I'll

[8:33]answer this question after I test if you're all awake with a

[8:38]very loud Salat Muhammad Muhammad now I hope most of us have

[8:44]cars and I hope most of us can drive I'm one of

[8:46]those who cannot drive yet but alhamdulillah I made it today safe

[8:52]and sound when you drive a car you want to get from

[8:53]point A to point B for you to get to point B

[8:57]you need signs you need directions with that traffic signs without Road

[9:02]signals you will not be able to go thus these signs facilitate

[9:06]your transportation likewise when Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala placed Us in this

[9:12]world it is impossible for him to place us with such a

[9:17]difficult Mission without giving us Direction without giving us signs the thing

[9:22]here though is if you want to go from point A to

[9:26]point B there is many different roads and Pathways that you can

[9:30]take and ultimately you will still reach that destination however does that

[9:35]mean that all pathways are the same are they all as efficient

[9:38]are they all as effective are they all as fast no likewise

[9:44]when it comes to the Phil philosophical uh analyzation of how we

[9:49]can get to Allah there's a saying the roads the pathways to

[9:59]Allah subhanahu wa'ta'ala are as numerous as vast as the breaths of

[10:04]his creation meaning there is so many different roads that we can

[10:08]possibly take but our goal here is to hunt to chase that

[10:14]perfect resemblance and manifestation of divine love we want to get the

[10:18]best and most efficient road now anytime there's a question imposed the

[10:24]best way to get an answer is to reflect back on our

[10:28]book of guidance the holy Quran let's see what does Allah subhanahu

[10:32]waala say in his holy book inah Al Iman verse 31 Allah

[10:39]subhah [Music] says say oh Muhammad if you love Allah then follow

[10:54]me and Allah will not only love you Allah will love you

[11:00]and forgive your sins there you go that's the magical pill that's

[11:03]the root that we want Allah clearly indicates in the Quran it's

[11:09]an easy formula follow the prophet Allah will love you that's the

[11:15]foundation now when you analyze the life of the holy prophet and

[11:19]you come towards the end of his prophethood before he departed this

[11:24]world there's one instruction there's one will there's one message that Allah

[11:34]subhah wa ta'ala asked him to deliver that message if he did

[11:38]not deliver it was as if his whole entire Message of Islam

[11:42]was not delivered and once that message was delivered Islam was completed

[11:57]Allah subhana T says [Music] what is this message the prophet Sall

[12:10][Music] said I leave behind you two wey things for as long

[12:25]as you hold tie to them you will never ever go astray

[12:30]the book of Allah the Quran and my holy progeny the in

[12:34]another Hadith the prophet instructs us he says three things the love

[12:47]of your Prophet three things you teach your kids the love of

[12:50]your Prophet the love of his holy progeny and then the recitation

[12:56]of the Holy Quran so in summary the road to Allah is

[12:59]following the holy prophet and his will of following the holy progeny

[13:04]of the holy prophet and holding tight to the Holy Quran beautiful

[13:11]right however in this whole thing where does the lady we honor

[13:17]tonight say where is she placed in this whole equation brothers and

[13:22]sisters if we were to analyze the you will find a unique

[13:33]impeccable personality that made this whole thing happen how F she was

[13:40]the inheritor of who of the final Prophet after over 124,000 prophets

[13:47]that Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala sent from the start of this Earth

[13:50]until now and she was also through her progeny the initiator of

[13:56]the F of the second Imam and so on so F was

[14:02]what she was the link the bridge between and IM brothers and

[14:10]sisters if you if I hold two light bulbs perfect beautiful and

[14:13]I want them to L if I don't have a cord if

[14:18]I don't have a link it's almost impossible to make them work

[14:21]likewise there had to be a connection between and IM and Fa

[14:28]was that connection that's why we hear that one of the nicknames

[14:32]of that she's given is Whata in English is a millstone pretty

[14:41]much it's two pieces of frog that are put on top of

[14:46]one another and it's used to grind wheat or other grains and

[14:51]is that pole that you put in the middle that holds these

[14:56]two pieces together so that is f that's the role that she

[15:00]played in this whole equation she was the best and most perfect

[15:04]resemblance to the holy prophet sallallah alai wasam from his mannerism all

[15:10]the way to even the way she walked that's why the the

[15:16]infamous Hadith FAA is a part of me truly she was part

[15:25]of the holy prophet but faam to the prophet wasn't just a

[15:29]fruit in a tree because the fruit once picked will not die

[15:33]it can live a little bit more you can still make H

[15:38]out of it f to the prophet was like a branch like

[15:40]a trunk as soon as the root the foundation Muhammad wasam departed

[15:47]this world she couldn't bear staying in it hence her departure months

[15:52]after his departure another question I impose is if you if Fatima

[15:57]was part of the holy prophet the holy prophet was in isn't

[16:01]it only just to say that was reflective of the attributes of

[16:09]the main source isn't she also infallible some people might come and

[16:13]say you know yes she's special but Prophet Muhammad sallallahu alaih wasallam

[16:18]was a little biased because at the end of the day he

[16:23]was a father so he just said that I ask you how

[16:25]just is it to put in the same scale Prophet Muhammad s

[16:29]wasam and what he says and what an ordinary person does reflect

[16:35]back on verse 3 and 4 and he does he doesn't speak

[16:44]out of his own desire it is not but Revelation that is

[16:47]revealed that is Muhammad billions upon billions of women stepped foot on

[17:00]this world from the start of creation until today but fa is

[17:04]the Mistress of every mother of every daughter of every sister of

[17:10]every single woman that came to this world the question comes into

[17:13]place did Fatima Alam reached that level end stage simply because she's

[17:18]the daughter of the holy prophet simply because of justifications due to

[17:23]her lineage and her closeness to holy prophet I beg to defer

[17:29]f was a perfect character she was the definition of perfection if

[17:33]I had to put it into perspective so in these very few

[17:40]moments I will try to just shed light on two small little

[17:42]aspects and D Dimensions to know the greatness of the the lady

[17:47]of FL faam I can go and talk about the stories that

[17:49]we all heard about how she would donate her wedding dress in

[17:53]the night of her wedding how she would uh sustain or prevent

[17:56]herself from eating after fasting for 3 days with her children because

[18:00]of love to towards Allah and her giving the food away to

[18:06]a poor person to a person uh who is a wayf farer

[18:10]I can do that but I'd like to give something a little

[18:15]different before I do that I want to clear one misconception a

[18:21]huge misconception that we as humans have is when we set a

[18:27]role model it has to be under specific criteria meaning fa is

[18:31]seen as a perfect role model for the women she's the perfect

[18:36]when you when you mention sayam she's the manifestation of modesty of

[18:41]Chastity of hijab meaning that because she's a woman then she's attributed

[18:45]towards being a role model for women only unfortunately we do not

[18:53]realize that when it comes to the material materialistic world we live

[18:57]in yes we fail to be just with every sing single uh

[19:00]gender or every single difference whether it's gender race we are a

[19:06]little bit biased but in the eyes of our creator Allah subhanahu

[19:10]wa'ta'ala it's not in the spiritual world is different Prophet Muhammad s

[19:17][Music] alai he says Allah subhanahu waala does not look at your

[19:36]appearance doesn't look at your looks doesn't look at your wealth he

[19:40]looks at your hearts he looks at your actions therefore when we

[19:47]say faam is a role model we are analyzing her attributes her

[19:53]principles her values that she embodied that she reflected and in that

[19:59]is a lesson for all of humanity with the multitude of the

[20:04]differences that Humanity brings from race from gender from beliefs from backgrounds

[20:09]the first thing of two that I would like to discuss is

[20:18]her categorized love what do I mean by that fa as the

[20:23]daughter of the final Messenger as the wife of the first Imam

[20:27]as the mother of of the Masters of the Youth of paradise

[20:32]she was a waterfall of love she was that listening ear she

[20:39]was that supportive figure she was that entity that never failed to

[20:44]give and show love hence you know the stories when she was

[20:46]a small little kid she would take the dirt off the back

[20:50]of the holy prophet when it's being thrown from the pagans uh

[20:53]hence how she would heal the wounds of IM Ali Alam after

[20:58]he comes from the battlefield however he realized that within all this

[21:04]F's ultimate goal ultimate pleasurement was towards Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala and

[21:13]that is embodied and reflected and proven in one of the narrations

[21:18]that on Judgment day before she enters Paradise she would say or

[21:28]Allah you are the goal you are the destination and you are

[21:35]beyond the destination she combined the love of Allah subhanahu wa taala

[21:38]and the love of his creation but the priority was given towards

[21:42]Allah now put that into perspective with us humans of today we

[21:48]how many times we put Allah subhana wa tala as secondary as

[21:55]the next choice he's not part of our priority we are so

[21:57]easy to be lenient when it comes to the commands of Allah

[22:01]subhanahu wa ta'ala we're so easy to pass them we are so

[22:03]easy to belittle them it's time for prayer but I'm with my

[22:08]friend you know what I'll just pray later I'm invited to a

[22:11]gathering that I'm not supposed to attend but you know what Allah

[22:15]subhana I'll just go however if your friend if you make Injustice

[22:22]towards your friend and he's mad at you you will not sleep

[22:23]at night thinking about how I can come back and regain his

[22:29]confidence and his relationship but we neglect that the most important connection

[22:33]that we can ever initiate in this world which is with our

[22:35]creator it's secondary so the first lesson we learned from Fatam is

[22:43]to be loving but to set the priority meaning categorize Your Love

[22:48]what do I mean by that first layer should be your love

[22:55]towards your family towards your friends that is necessary that should be

[23:01]in its own layer and then on top of that you have

[23:05]unique love to the pious Believers and worshippers of Allah the aah

[23:09]of Allah and in the front line the holy prophet and His

[23:13]holy progeny finally the last uh part of that hierarchy is space

[23:22]purely and exclusively for divine love love towards Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala

[23:27]and in this hierarchy all of your actions should ultimately lead to

[23:33]gaining the love and closeness of Allah subhanahu so that is the

[23:41]first lesson we learn the second lesson that we learn Isam was

[23:48]a multi-dimensional figure meaning that she perfectly balanced her obligations towards her

[23:57]Creator and and his creation the same way she balanced her love

[24:02]when it comes to time of worship fa wouldn't do any less

[24:08]than her father and her husband she would spend the the night

[24:11]in prayer tears shedding out of love out of all supplications voluntary

[24:21]fasting but when it comes to the daytime does faam say I

[24:26]have my religious duties that means I don't have time for social

[24:31]duties no when it came for the need for her to stand

[24:33]up against Injustice she did when it came to her duties as

[24:41]a household wife let's look at how she made the house a

[24:44]place of Harmony a place of peace and remember she was only

[24:50]she lived only until the tender age of 18 look at how

[24:56]Imam describes Fatima in the house he would say she carried water

[25:00]using a water skin until it scarred her chest she grammed using

[25:06]a high a hand Mill until blisters started showing in her hands

[25:10]she swept the floor until her clothes were filled with dust she

[25:17]lit fire under the cooking pot until her her clothes turned so

[25:24]dark from this smoke that is fa when it comes to us

[25:29]it's like we are in a mood I'm in a work mood

[25:32]and that's it I forget all about worship I'm in a worship

[25:34]mood I forget all about work we cannot balance through fa we

[25:39]learn that to a a real believer a True Believer is able

[25:45]to Encompass both aspects together but I come back from work I'm

[25:50]tired my sister my mother my father uh hello Hass how are

[25:55]you oh I'm tired please don't talk to me I need to

[25:57]go sleep I need to go eat mannerism doesn't exist you suddenly

[26:03]turn from being a worshiper of Allah to a friend of the

[26:06]Shan in Split seconds so we the second lesson we learn is

[26:11]how we can balance our duties towards Allah subhana Waal and his

[26:16]creation this is f her father was Mercy her mother was generosity

[26:28]her husband was bravery her first son was perseverance was strength her

[26:36]second son was was courage was sacrifice no matter how much time

[26:45]I spent how much I try I will never be able to

[26:48]comprehend the true value of fatim and I come towards the end

[26:55]of my speech and I'm going to talk a little bit about

[26:58]her departure brothers and sisters when someone does you a favor if

[27:03]you're a noble just human being if someone does you a favor

[27:09]you feel obligated entitled to pay him back do something to express

[27:14]your thankfulness and gratitude to that person the holy prophet the messenger

[27:20]of Allah subhanahu waala delivered to us that pathway that we eagerly

[27:24]SE to be able to seek the closeness to Allah subhanahu wa

[27:28]ta'ala to know him love him he asked for no reward except

[27:35]for one mentioned inah verse 23 and tell them oh Muhammad that

[27:46]I seek no reward from you but to show love and consip

[27:48]to my holy progeny look here how Allah subhana wa taala said

[27:56]what Ma Ma derived from w with that form of love that

[28:02]I that I shared with you that is intense constant Everlasting that

[28:07]was the only thing that wasam asked in return for what he

[28:12]did ironically it is the only thing or the main thing that

[28:18]we did not or they did not perform how can I describe

[28:28]the heart of wasallam when he Witnesses what has happened to the

[28:33]house of his daughter how can I describe the emotions in the

[28:38]holy prophet when he sees his son-in-law being struck while in prostration

[28:43]in prayer how do I describe rasool Allah witnessing his grandson not

[28:49]only poisoned but welcomed to his funeral with arrows and Spears how

[28:55]would he feel looking at his grandson Hussein his butchered killed in

[29:03]the land ofala what kind of Injustice did we put after that

[29:08]brothers and sisters let me ask you this question how is it

[29:14]possible that we lose such a diamond fatim in the tender age

[29:24]of 18 how is it that she died angry how is it

[29:27]that no one knows where she is buried how is it that

[29:33]she asked to be buried at night how is it that after

[29:39]the departure of the holy prophet she said calamities have been poured

[29:52]upon me had they been poured upon days they would have turned

[29:58]into nights how how is it possible and then we say it

[30:01]was just because of sickness brothers and sisters unfortunately F we don't

[30:16]know the thing that really hurts me the most is that I

[30:19]don't know where is the grave of fa when I think of

[30:24]Imam Hussein even with my shallow imagination I can illustrate Envision IM

[30:28]imagine his Shrine inala with say what can I connect with ad

[30:36]door unfortunately we don't know where she's buried however fatim is buried

[30:45]in the hearts of every True Believer that believer who before he

[30:51]commits any act before he utters any word he would ask himself

[30:57]is what I'm about is what I'm about to do going to

[30:59]please Allah is it going to draw a smile on the holy

[31:05]prophet's face is it going to make say proud brothers and sisters

[31:10]we have the best personalities unfortunately we have the worst marketing if

[31:16]you look at today's world look at who's headlining the news the

[31:21]most indecent of people why because the marketing is great we have

[31:25]those impeccable Perfections of of personalities yet no one knows them why

[31:31]because we who claim to be their followers we are not promoting

[31:37]them because people don't look at the names of the individuals they

[31:40]look at the principles that they reflect the values they possess and

[31:43]they show to the world so how is it that we are

[31:48]followers of the best of the best of the Perfection yet there

[31:50]is so much deceiving there's so much lies there's so much backbiting

[31:54]there's so much hatred and so on and so forth so for

[31:59]us to be truly worthy of calling ourselves followers for us to

[32:07]be truly saying that we want to express and show our love

[32:09]then Allah subhana wa tala says and do perform for Allah subhanahu

[32:18]wa ta'ala will witness your Deeds the prophet and the Believers with

[32:25]that I ask Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala to give us the blessing

[32:29]of guiding us towards knowing him loving him and finally walking and

[32:35]reflecting and emulating the steps of the prophet and His holy progeny

[32:39]I deeply sincerely thank you for listening and in the same way

[32:46]I greet you I end with the Islamic greeting [Music] of h
