[9:23]the muslim community on the death of our beloved nabi and prophet

[9:29]muhammad we will begin our program tonight with our respected scholar i

[10:43]begin in the name of the almighty god the compassionate the merciful

[10:49]the one who has created everything in utmost perfection and may the

[10:55]peace and blessings of the almighty god be upon his pure and

[10:58]beloved messenger the peak of his creation the symbol of humanity the

[11:08]holy prophet muhammad and his immaculate progeny of the ahlul bayt peace

[11:18]be upon them especially the leader of our time the awaited savior

[11:25]al imam al mahdi may allah hasten his reappearance and make us

[11:33]all amongst a sincere and dedicated servants allah subhanahu wa ta'ala states

[11:40]in the holy quran illuminate your hearts and minds with a very

[12:07]loud salawat sallallahu alaihi rahmat on this sorrowful evening we extend our

[12:17]condolences to our imam al imam al mahdi for the martyrdom and

[12:26]departure of his grandfather the greatest creation of allah the holy prophet

[12:33]muhammad the departure of the holy prophet marks the greatest loss for

[12:46]humanity for he was the symbol of humanity he was the chosen

[12:53]one by the almighty god he is the creation of allah who

[13:00]sacrificed most for his lord for his community for his religion and

[13:07]for all of humanity when the ahlul bayt peace be upon them

[13:12]would reflect on the departure of the prophet they would experience and

[13:19]feel that loss and they would consider it as the most difficult

[13:26]day that befell the muslim ummah the day when this great messenger

[13:33]of allah departed this world when we examine the life of the

[13:38]holy prophet we find that he offers us many shining chapters filled

[13:47]with amazing beautiful lessons one beautiful dimension of examining the biography of

[13:56]the prophet is that if we study his biography and the circumstances

[14:04]of his life we will find lessons for ourselves in every single

[14:10]circumstance that we go through think about it over 7,000,000,000 people on

[14:16]earth today experiencing so many circumstances in every of those circumstances they

[14:24]can relate to the messenger of god for he experienced similar circumstances

[14:31]and therefore he is the best role model that is why allah

[14:36]in surah al ahzab verse 21 states you have in the messenger

[14:46]of allah the best role model the best exemplar for the one

[14:52]who truly wants to believe in allah prepare for the day of

[14:58]judgment he is the best role model for humanity in our discussion

[15:05]this evening i would like to shed some light on multiple circumstances

[15:11]in the prophet's life that are applicable to us and that we

[15:18]find in every circumstance that we go through we have lessons to

[15:23]learn from the circumstances of the holy prophet and that's the beauty

[15:29]of these role models sometimes when we study their biography or examine

[15:37]their life we tend to oversimplify their life and consider it as

[15:42]a story one chapter is over the next chapter begins but we

[15:48]must look deeper than that and see which circumstance of the prophet's

[15:54]life applies to my circumstances today in this period in my life

[16:00]that requires a very deep understanding of the prophet's life for me

[16:06]to be able to take those circumstances and apply them to my

[16:09]life i want to share with you multiple circumstances that the prophet

[16:15]went through to see how we can benefit from that the first

[16:20]area the first circumstance that we find in the life of the

[16:24]prophet was when he was young soon after he was born when

[16:31]he was born his father abdullah had passed away so he was

[16:36]born an orphan his mother aminah lived with the prophet for about

[16:43]six years then she passed away now we find that during this

[16:48]time in the prophet's life he spent many years away from his

[16:54]mother away from mecca he was with halim as saadiyyah she came

[17:01]from the tribe of bani saad and she would sponsor the prophet

[17:06]take care of him and nurse him now there are multiple reasons

[17:10]why the mother of the prophet would allow that he was very

[17:14]special to her how could she give her to another woman number

[17:18]one there was plague in mecca there was the serious threat of

[17:23]disease so many meccan families in order for them to protect their

[17:28]children they would send them to surrounding areas to areas that were

[17:34]less susceptible to disease areas away from the city that were pure

[17:40]in their environment so she feared for the prophet's life and she

[17:45]wanted him to grow up in a pure place that was one

[17:48]reason another reason that historians have mentioned she was not able to

[17:53]nurse the prophet properly so she had with the supervision of abdul

[18:02]muttalib the grandfather of the prophet to take the prophet and to

[18:06]nurse him and so he spent multiple years with this woman this

[18:13]is a lesson my dear brothers and sisters for all of our

[18:16]children we don't find that the prophet ever showed resistance and he

[18:22]said no i don't want to be away from mecca and he

[18:25]gave his mother a hard time he trusted her judgment and when

[18:31]she made that decision or when his grandfather made that decision for

[18:35]him he accepted he went with halim as saadiyah halima saadiyah says

[18:40]never in our life had we seen so much blessings and barakah

[18:44]like we saw from this young boy in our area there was

[18:48]always a drought we did not have barakah in terms of our

[18:52]livestock in terms of our crops but ever since this young boy

[18:57]came to our tribe came to our village we saw how allah

[19:02]changed our situation the prophet never gave his mother a hard time

[19:07]it was very difficult for him to be away from the city

[19:09]of mecca many times today in many families we find children when

[19:14]parents make decisions for them that are in their best interest they

[19:19]usually try to fight that decision they don't trust the wisdom of

[19:23]their parents sometimes when parents are moving relocating somewhere else or they're

[19:30]changing the schools of their children we find that they resist one

[19:36]lesson for our dear youngsters is that the prophet had to go

[19:41]through this very difficult transition to be away from his own mother

[19:45]from his grandfather for years sometimes yes he would visit back and

[19:50]forth during that time but he was spending most of his time

[19:54]outside of mecca yet he was always accepting trusting the wisdom of

[20:00]his mother this is one important lesson that we draw from the

[20:05]childhood of the holy prophet then we find when his mother passed

[20:11]away his grandfather abdul muttalib fully took him in his care and

[20:18]the prophet spent so much time with his grandmother with his grandfather

[20:23]grandfather abdul muttalib some people when they lose their loved ones when

[20:28]they lose their parents they break down they isolate the prophet teaches

[20:34]us if allah takes away a loved one from you even if

[20:38]it's your own parents realize that allah will give you alternatives he

[20:44]will still replace them with someone who can take care of you

[20:49]yes no one can replace your parents but allah is still merciful

[20:53]allah will still care for you and we see that the prophet

[20:57]even though he was deeply saddened but he never took it negatively

[21:04]he was happy to be in the care of his grandfather and

[21:07]he would spend so much time with him if his grandfather would

[21:10]go on a business trip he would join him these days one

[21:14]of the challenges we have in many of our families we find

[21:18]that kids youngsters teenagers they don't like to spend time with their

[21:23]grandparents you know here in america the average american teenager do you

[21:29]know how much time he spends with his grandparents or with her

[21:32]grandparents what do you think per year how much time does an

[21:39]average teenager here in the us spend with their grandparents four hours

[21:45]a year can you imagine that's the average four hours a year

[21:49]you see that disconnect our grandparents had a lifetime of experience they

[21:56]are a blessing in our families learn from the prophet to be

[22:00]with them even travel with them how many of you have traveled

[22:03]with your grandparents do that once in a while it brings blessings

[22:09]in your life there's so much to learn from them he would

[22:14]accompany his grandfather sometimes all the way north to shamm this was

[22:20]a long journey back then from mecca going to the damascus syria

[22:25]region but the prophet found it an honor to go with his

[22:30]grandfather four hours a year is the average time that an american

[22:36]teenager spends with his parents now compare that to 2,000 of tv

[22:45]the average teenager here in america spends two thousand hours a year

[22:50]watching tv contrast that to four hours with your grandparents you see

[22:56]this is one of the challenges that we are experiencing in our

[22:59]modern society take this beautiful lesson our youngsters our beloved youth take

[23:05]this lesson from your prophet you want to honor his legacy spend

[23:09]time with your grandparents travel with them engage in activities with them

[23:15]the quran says in every aspect of his life he's a role

[23:18]model for you don't think just when he became old and he

[23:22]received revelation then he's a role model for you no even before

[23:26]revelation the holy prophet is a source of inspiration for us so

[23:32]this is the first area that we can really draw so many

[23:35]lessons from and that's the childhood of the prophet the second area

[23:41]in the life of the prophet that we can derive so many

[23:44]lessons from is his participation in an alliance called in arabic in

[23:53]english if we'd like to translate it we can say it's called

[23:57]the alliance of justice basically in the year may there was a

[24:06]very troublesome battle and war called the battle of fujar that occurred

[24:15]around the city of mecca it was an unjust battle people were

[24:21]being violated and oppressed so a number of tribes from mecca they

[24:28]gathered in the house of abdullah ibn jada'an or jada'an they gathered

[24:34]in his house bani hashem were there a number of other tribes

[24:39]were there from quraysh and they decided to form an alliance calling

[24:43]it the alliance of justice let us stand with those who are

[24:49]oppressed let us try to resist injustice the prophet according to certain

[24:58]hadiths he says i attended that alliance how old was the prophet

[25:04]if he was born may and this was year may he was

[25:09]about 20 years old when he participated this important event the prophet

[25:13]said because it was an issue of justice even though a lot

[25:18]of those tribes they were pagans remember this is before the religion

[25:21]of islam many of them who were there to make that alliance

[25:27]were idol worshippers but the prophet says because it was an alliance

[25:32]of justice i participated in it and this is a beautiful lesson

[25:36]for us that wherever in your society you see injustice do something

[25:42]be active be part of a movement that calls for justice look

[25:49]at our state today and our societies my dear brothers and sisters

[25:53]especially with our communities do you find that many of our communities

[26:00]are interested in domestic issues when it comes to justice and injustice

[26:07]most people do not care if it's about domestic issues that impact

[26:13]our society that impact social justice we don't care it's not important

[26:18]for us look at the challenges that we are facing in america

[26:22]today racism discrimination what are we doing about that are we doing

[26:28]anything not much you find for instance other challenges that we are

[26:35]going through other types of injustice that is institutionalized what are we

[26:41]doing about that when you for instance look at political injustice like

[26:46]gerrymandering do you know what it is ask even someone in our

[26:50]community do you even know what gerrymandering is how does that impact

[26:54]you how does that impact the voting process believe me a lot

[26:57]of people are clueless they don't even know gun control and the

[27:03]violence that we see in our country what are we doing about

[27:06]that there are groups out there working for justice we should be

[27:11]in the front lines the prophet is teaching us that even though

[27:15]these people were idol worshippers many of them but because it was

[27:19]an alliance of justice it was for a good cause i participated

[27:24]in it and this in this hadith the prophet says even after

[27:28]islam if i were to be invited to such an alliance i

[27:32]would go and be part of it even if you have idol

[27:35]worshippers calling on justice justice is justice everywhere and injustice is injustice

[27:41]everywhere this is a valuable lesson that we must take from the

[27:46]life of our prophet anytime i can do something for social justice

[27:52]i should be the first one there the third area that we

[27:57]find in the life of the prophet is when he becomes at

[28:03]the age of 25 he reaches 25 and now he was looking

[28:09]for a business opportunity oftentimes when you're looking for a business opportunity

[28:15]what are you looking for look how the prophet approaches this business

[28:22]opportunity abu talib his uncle had taken care of him for such

[28:27]a long time so he wanted to pay him back because abu

[28:30]talib was financially struggling and he had a number of sons and

[28:35]daughters to take care of so the prophet decided that he wanted

[28:40]to work he wanted to earn some money so he can help

[28:45]his uncle abu talib so what does he do he consults his

[28:51]uncle and he does something that was quite unusual in that society

[28:58]in the arabian peninsula women were considered second class citizens in fact

[29:04]most of them were not independent they were dependent on their male

[29:09]relatives their fathers their brothers their husbands they had no business they

[29:16]did not engage in trade they did not own a business and

[29:21]it was pretty unusual to go and work with a woman in

[29:26]terms of business many men they found this to be humiliating for

[29:32]them i go and i work for a woman for the business

[29:35]of a woman impossible i'm not going to do that because they

[29:39]had that arrogance that arabian arrogance in arabian society but the prophet

[29:45]he comes to his uncle abu talib and he consults him they

[29:51]discuss this business opportunity with lady khadija who was such a noble

[29:57]woman of character abu talib tells him it's a great idea i've

[30:02]heard many good things about her why not and so the prophet

[30:06]signals his readiness to work with her she becomes very happy that

[30:13]this young man who's known for his character for his akhlaq for

[30:16]his decency for his righteousness he wants to work with her and

[30:20]so he does business with lady khadija he would take caravans he

[30:26]would travel do business on her behalf and then he would come

[30:29]back to mecca and this was a lesson that if there is

[30:33]someone in your society who's trustworthy because lady khadija was trustworthy someone

[30:40]who was god fearing she was god fearing someone who was pure

[30:44]do business with them we find that the prophet did not go

[30:48]after the aristocrats of mecca why not there were many wealthy businessmen

[30:53]in mecca you could have easily approached them and told them i'd

[30:56]like to work with you why did he not do that remember

[30:59]this is before islam so nobody was fighting him yet he was

[31:03]well respected in mecca why is it that we do not find

[31:07]the prophet going to one of those wealthy meccans and asking them

[31:12]for a business opportunity the prophet is demonstrating to us that you

[31:19]look for someone who's honest someone who's pure someone who's chaste then

[31:25]you can do business with them even if society finds it a

[31:28]little bit unusual but that's fine allah will send down the rizq

[31:35]and the barakah and the sustenance for you and then we find

[31:41]that after months and months of working with lady khadija and she

[31:46]begin to witness his amazing character she became interested in him and

[31:53]so she signaled to the prophet that i am interested in marrying

[31:58]you now this was also a little bit unusual because in those

[32:02]conservative societies men usually initiate the marriage initiate the proposal or signal

[32:08]that they are interested whereas we have many sources and hadiths that

[32:12]indicate lady khadija she's the one who initiated this and she expressed

[32:18]her interest in the prophet now the prophet is a man of

[32:22]intellect the prophet did not say how dare she be the first

[32:28]one to initiate this shame on her this is unacceptable no the

[32:33]prophet found it reasonable she got to know him through this business

[32:37]opportunity especially through her servant maysarah who would accompany the prophet on

[32:42]his business trips she would ask him after every trip maysarah tell

[32:46]me about muhammad tell me about his character how would he conduct

[32:56]those business transactions tell me i want to hear it it's very

[32:59]interesting for me so she kept gathering information about him she did

[33:03]research and then she expressed her interest the prophet sanctioned that he

[33:09]approved of that because he was truly a man of reason a

[33:14]man of wisdom today i'll be very honest with you my dear

[33:16]brothers and sisters one of the problems that we have in the

[33:19]community is that sometimes some sisters who are interested in marriage if

[33:24]they bring up the topic of marriage or they signal to others

[33:28]that they're interested in marrying quickly they're put down even by women

[33:32]in the community they're put down shame on you talking about marriage

[33:37]this is ayb this is a source of shame don't talk about

[33:40]marriage just sit on your couch until someone comes knocking at your

[33:44]door isn't it so in many of our communities in many of

[33:49]our conservative societies the prophet breaks these barriers as long as it's

[33:55]handled professionally appropriately there's nothing wrong with that and therefore he accepted

[34:02]that proposal and he took his uncle abu talib and they went

[34:06]to officially to propose to lady khadija and that's a beautiful lesson

[34:11]for us so this is the third area in the prophet's life

[34:17]that we can take those circumstances and apply them to our modern

[34:22]circumstances the fourth one my dear brothers and sisters and this one's

[34:26]very critical and important we find that the prophet for a long

[34:32]time before he received revelation at the age of 40 he would

[34:38]go to mount hira that cave overlooking the kaaba in mecca and

[34:43]he would spend private time with his lord many times he would

[34:48]take imam ali with him as well because imam ali was growing

[34:53]up in the care of the prophet he would meditate he would

[34:58]spend time spiritually preparing himself for a very important mission in life

[35:08]the prophet is teaching us whenever you're about to take a big

[35:12]step in your life you're graduating maybe from high school you're going

[35:16]to college you're graduating from college you're about to start your career

[35:22]when there is a huge step in your life that awaits you

[35:26]you need to spiritually prepare yourself and that requires some level of

[35:32]healthy isolation our dear youth before you go to college let's say

[35:37]it's your senior year during those three months work on yourself set

[35:44]aside several hours a day where you reflect you think about your

[35:49]future you think about what's good for you you think about the

[35:53]dangers in society you need that reflection spend time reflecting on that

[36:03]and building your relationship with allah then when you go to college

[36:07]you will be ready or when you're graduating from college and you're

[36:11]starting your career this is a very important transition in your life

[36:15]or you're about to get married that's another important transition the prophet

[36:19]teaches us you need some time away from the distraction of life

[36:24]and society go and prepare yourself spiritually psychologically prepare yourself don't be

[36:31]so distracted by society just going and hopping from one place to

[36:37]another place from one step to another step you have to be

[36:42]prepared and so the prophet knew that when he would receive the

[36:45]revelation the message from allah it would be a very big step

[36:50]so he prepared himself he would go for such a long time

[36:55]spending entire days in the ghar of hira in that cave worshiping

[37:01]allah working on his spirituality maintaining that strong relationship with his lord

[37:11]and this is a very important lesson allah in the holy quran

[37:16]reminds us to be prepared for big transitions in our lives and

[37:23]one of the transitions that the holy quran mentions is the age

[37:26]of 40 this age of 40 my dear brothers and sister is

[37:31]a critical stage in our lives before the age of 40 we

[37:37]are more flexible to change our habits our lifestyles we quickly adapt

[37:43]especially teenagers have you seen youngsters they quickly adapt to their environment

[37:48]whereas adults they find it much more difficult before the age of

[37:53]40 i can still work on myself if i have negative habits

[37:57]i can change them but after the age of 40 those habits

[38:03]that lifestyle basically becomes permanent it becomes a permanent aspect of my

[38:09]personality changing it is still possible but it's much more difficult but

[38:13]before the age of 40 i still have that opportunity and allah

[38:19]mentions this in surat al aqaf verse 15 allah in the beginning

[38:24]of the verse he speaks about our duties and responsibilities towards our

[38:30]parents then allah mentions this critical stage in our lives allah says

[38:53]when he becomes physically mature physically strong then he becomes intellectually mature

[39:01]when he becomes at the age of 40 he reaches this age

[39:05]he realizes that everything that he has is from allah all those

[39:11]blessings that i have today i shouldn't be arrogant and think it's

[39:15]all because of my efforts yes my efforts do play a role

[39:18]but in the end it's the efforts of my parents if it

[39:22]weren't for my parents and the sacrifices they offered me i would

[39:25]not be where i am today i need to remember that and

[39:30]allah subhanahu wa ta'ala is the one who blessed me with everything

[39:35]that is making me successful today when you become 40 years you

[39:41]remember that and you put yourself on a good path and you

[39:45]make sure that you are on a good path this is extremely

[39:48]important to consider my dear brothers and sisters it's a turning point

[39:54]in our lives there's also so much science behind the age of

[39:57]40 scientists are discovering that at the age of 40 that is

[40:03]the peak of our mental concentration our intellectual concentration when you want

[40:09]to concentrate on something that usually peaks at age 40 and many

[40:14]of the prophets of allah they received revelation at the age of

[40:19]40 because it's such an important threshold to cross in our lives

[40:25]the prophet is teaching us be prepared for this don't let the

[40:29]age of 40 hit you and then you go through a midlife

[40:32]crisis like many people and then you engage in bizarre behavior and

[40:37]start wasting your wealth and wasting your time be prepared for this

[40:42]turning point in your life that's one amazing lesson that we learn

[40:48]from the life of the prophet the fifth area or the fifth

[40:52]circumstance that we learn from the prophet and this one is extremely

[40:55]critical the prophet had two main stages in his life after the

[41:01]religion of islam the first was mecca the second was medina they

[41:07]were very different it was the same prophet with the same character

[41:11]but the circumstances were very different between these two in mecca the

[41:16]prophet was persecuted he had no strong community to support him muslims

[41:23]were harassed on a daily basis and so the prophet was always

[41:29]patient for thirteen years show me one day in mecca where the

[41:32]prophet sought revenge you know what they would do to him in

[41:35]mecca first of all the name calling look at the quran and

[41:40]see what allah mentions in the holy quran they would accuse him

[41:44]of being a sorcerer they accused him of being insane do you

[41:49]know how hurtful that is if you're a person of integrity you

[41:54]care about your reputation and your own society calls you insane crazy

[42:01]you know how much that hurts do we appreciate what our prophet

[42:05]went through when we read these verses let's reflect on them this

[42:11]was a source of pain for the prophet and allah subhanahu wa

[42:16]ta'ala acknowledges this in the holy quran oh our messenger we know

[42:26]that your chest becomes tight you become depressed due to what they

[42:31]say imagine you've done nothing but goodness to your community for over

[42:37]forty years they call you the trustworthy the truthful one and then

[42:45]suddenly the name calling starts and they accuse you of being a

[42:49]liar being a magician sorcerer of being insane that's very hurtful but

[42:54]the prophet teaches us have patience you have a goal don't react

[43:00]because reacting at that stage means you lose your message have patience

[43:06]you could have someone in the community and you have a project

[43:09]you want to be very successful at it somebody is causing you

[43:13]so much stress causing you so much problems it could be a

[43:17]spouse that is causing you some of these problems be patient do

[43:24]not retaliate some people compare prophet jesus alaihis salaam to prophet muhammad

[43:32]sallallaho alaihi wa'alehi and they say see jesus was so peaceful whereas

[43:38]the prophet of islam engaged in battles if you want to be

[43:42]accurate in your comparison compare the life of the prophet in mecca

[43:48]during those thirteen years to prophet because their circumstances were the same

[43:54]prophet did not have a strong community to support him he was

[43:58]chased from one village to another village that's exactly how the prophet

[44:03]was in mecca and we find the prophet being so patient so

[44:09]patient not retaliating oftentimes he would be in masjid al haram in

[44:14]sujood prostrating to allah not harming anyone and they would come they

[44:21]would violate his sanctity they would harass him they would take the

[44:25]intestines of camels and throw it at the prophet lady fatima would

[44:31]come she would see that scene she was just a little girl

[44:34]and she would be so disturbed she would cry when she see

[44:38]that with her small blessed hands she would wipe the dust and

[44:42]the blood from the body of the prophet do you ever find

[44:47]the prophet retaliating getting up and beating one of them or ordering

[44:51]one of his companions to go and kill these people you want

[44:55]to compare him to prophet jesus look at these thirteen years because

[44:59]the circumstances are identical here and then the prophet when he goes

[45:04]to medina yes now he has support now he has a community

[45:09]now he's the leader of that community and being the leader of

[45:13]the community necessitates that you protect your community that you look for

[45:20]their well-being and you protect them from the dangers of those enemies

[45:26]that's very important to consider in the life of the prophet and

[45:31]then you find the holy quran telling us about the challenges of

[45:35]the prophet in medina this circumstance of the prophet in dealing with

[45:42]his companions is an area my dear brothers and sisters that we

[45:46]have to implement in our lives allah subhanahu wa ta'ala captures one

[45:53]of the challenges of the prophet in surah ta'ala allah subhanahu wa

[45:58]ta'ala states some of these companions they would harass and hurt the

[46:04]prophet there are those companions who would hurt the prophet the quran

[46:22]says and what would they say they would say he easily believes

[46:28]anyone who speaks to him basically they would gather amongst themselves they

[46:32]would backbite gossip create trouble and fitnah for the prophet then sometimes

[46:41]when the prophet confronts them and asks them about it they would

[46:44]say no no you rasulallah we did not say that we did

[46:48]not say anything of that sort the prophet would stay silent he

[46:54]would not come publicly exposing them and telling them no you're lying

[47:00]the prophet knew what they were doing allah would inform him about

[47:03]their conspiracies but the prophet he had such high character usually he

[47:09]would not confront them he would ask them once but if they

[47:13]would lie if they would hide the prophet would not further expose

[47:18]them so you know what they would say they would say this

[47:21]is a man who believes everything he hears god tells him that

[47:24]we're conspiring he believes his lord and then when he challenges us

[47:29]and he confronts us and he asked us about it we say

[47:32]no we did not he stays silent which means he believes us

[47:36]too allah subhanahu wa ta'ala rebukes them in the holy quran allah

[47:42]says say that the prophet is acting out of goodness for you

[47:51]do you want the prophet to come and expose you the prophet

[47:56]is giving you a path to repent and he was so sensitive

[48:00]about the dignity of people even people who would be disrespectful with

[48:04]him the prophet would be so sensitive with them sensitive with their

[48:10]dignity one day a man who was poor he came to see

[48:14]the prophet in the masjid he told him you rasulullah i'm poor

[48:18]i'm needy help me out the prophet did not have much to

[48:24]give him so he gave him a small amount of assistance that

[48:29]man belittled it so in front of all the companions he rejected

[48:35]the assistance of the prophet and he humiliated the prophet yes he

[48:42]was not polite in his behavior it says if he told the

[48:46]prophet that's it that's all you give me he insulted the prophet

[48:50]but the prophet maintained such good character the next day the prophet

[48:57]brought more assistance and he gave it to this man privately he

[49:02]gave it to him then the prophet asked him are you satisfied

[49:05]now are you happy with me now are you pleased he said

[49:09]yes you rasulallah i am pleased now now you've given me more

[49:13]the prophet says okay i have one suggestion to you yesterday when

[49:18]you said what you said in the presence of my companions my

[49:21]companions started talking about you because the way you behaved was inappropriate

[49:28]and then they're now backbiting they're gossiping they view you negatively i

[49:35]want you to come to the mosque and tell them now that

[49:38]you are satisfied with what i gave you so now they view

[49:42]you favorably because his dignity was at stake the prophet cared about

[49:48]his dignity you find this compassionate leader he cared the dignity about

[49:53]those who would come and insult him yet he cared about their

[49:56]dignity and this is a lesson for us in our lives there

[50:01]will be people who will put us in such a situation but

[50:06]how should we react if someone even is lying to you my

[50:11]dear brothers and sisters if you want to honor the legacy of

[50:14]the prophet you know someone is lying to you to save face

[50:17]the prophet teaches you let them that's fine don't always confront them

[50:21]and tell them no you're a liar a spouse knows that the

[50:25]other spouse has no excuse and they're just making an excuse it's

[50:29]okay let them make an excuse they made a mistake don't always

[50:34]confront others and expose them on the spot the prophet teaches us

[50:38]to have a big compassionate heart and embrace everyone in your community

[50:45]but at the same time the prophet was firm you have to

[50:50]be firm as well when the prophet would see a violation when

[50:55]he would see racism the prophet would be very firm so you

[51:00]have to maintain that balance on the one hand be gentle with

[51:04]people do not expose them but on the other hand if you

[51:07]see something wrong around you you have to step in once the

[51:12]prophet right before the battle of badr he was praying when he

[51:18]realized two muslims they captured two people who had come from the

[51:24]mashliqeen from the pagans they had come to the wells of badr

[51:28]in order to take some water so they started interrogating those two

[51:33]pagans these muslims who captured them they were interrogating them and they

[51:38]started to torture them you know torturing someone for interrogation purposes that's

[51:43]what they were doing the prophet became extremely disturbed he quickly finished

[51:48]his prayer then he went to them and he told them release

[51:50]him you have no right to torture him and interrogate him he

[51:55]would take action if he would see violations from his companions he

[51:59]would take immediate action he would not allow for discrimination and racism

[52:04]to go unchecked but at the same time he was extremely gentle

[52:08]by not exposing people by protecting their integrity by protecting their honor

[52:16]by protecting their dignity and so we find in every aspect the

[52:21]holy prophet is indeed a role model for us every stage that

[52:27]you go in your life my dear brothers and sisters the prophet

[52:30]has a lesson for you in mecca as we examined then when

[52:36]he migrated to medina his migration is a lesson for us sometimes

[52:41]you could be stuck in a situation with a business partner you're

[52:45]working on a project you're working with an institution you're working for

[52:49]anything and then there's tension you try to resolve the issue it

[52:54]doesn't work usually we're attached to our projects to our work and

[53:00]we're willing to fight everyone all the way the prophet teaches us

[53:04]look be patient you have to persevere but there are times in

[53:10]your life where you have to move on let it go the

[53:13]prophet left mecca he loved his hometown of mecca but he let

[53:17]it go for a greater cause and sometimes when we're stuck in

[53:23]situations my dear brothers and sisters we have to let go don't

[53:28]be so attached to everything such that you're willing to fight with

[53:31]everyone learn from the life of the prophet sometimes you have to

[53:35]be firm but sometimes you have to just let go it's not

[53:38]worth it let go for the sake of allah on this night

[53:45]my dear brothers and sisters we commemorate the legacy of the holy

[53:49]prophet his departure represented the greatest loss for humanity in those final

[53:59]days of the life of the prophet he would constantly see his

[54:03]ahlul bayt he was constantly see his grandsons al imam al hassan

[54:09]al hussain he would see lady fatima alaihi salam he would see

[54:14]amir al mumineen alaihi salam and when he would remember the oppression

[54:19]that will occur to them this caused so much sorrow in the

[54:25]hearts of the prophet and he would cry for that imagine after

[54:31]twenty three years of sacrifices at the age of 63 you know

[54:36]you're leaving your family your community behind knowing that your ummah is

[54:41]going to kill your own grandson is going to violate your own

[54:45]daughter imagine that is there something more difficult than that my dear

[54:49]brothers and sisters this was a constant source of pain in the

[54:52]life of the holy prophet in those final moments in the life

[54:59]of the prophet sallallahu alaihi wa aalehi one narrator he tells us

[55:04]the prophet was calling on someone he was not comfortable he wanted

[55:08]someone to be with him yes some people they brought this companion

[55:13]that companion next to the prophet as he was spending his final

[55:18]moments but the prophet was not happy until finally someone said we

[55:25]know whom the prophet wants he wants one man he wants call

[55:37]on the beloved one call on ali ibn abi talib in these

[55:41]final moments i want him to be with me here imam ali

[55:46]ibn abi talib he comes to see the prophet yes these are

[55:52]the final days of the prophet's life the final moments the prophet

[55:57]wanted to spend some time with ali ibn abi talim imam ali

[56:02]ibn abi talim he comes to these see the prophet he carries

[56:06]the blessed head of the prophet in his own lap imam ali

[56:11]confirms that the final moments in the prophet's life i was there

[56:16]his head was in my lap in those final moments the imam

[56:21]wanted to care for the prophet the prophet would speak to him

[56:26]giving him his final will when one narration states hassan and hussein

[56:31]they were young boys they came into the room of the prophet

[56:35]prophet they saw their grandfather in that difficult situation they knew they

[56:41]would be losing him soon hassan al hussain they come they fall

[56:46]on the chest of the prophet yes imam ali ibn abi talib

[56:51]alaihi salam he tries to carry them away from the chest of

[56:56]the prophet because he did not want them to disturb the prophet

[56:59]these are his final difficult moments the prophet tells imam ali o

[57:06]ali keep them why are you removing them from my chest keep

[57:12]them i want to spend these final moments with them know after

[57:19]me they shall be killed after me they shall be oppressed as

[57:25]for hussain as for hassan he will be betrayed and he will

[57:31]be killed by poisoning as for my grandson hussain he will be

[57:39]killed at karubara difficult days await them oh ali keep them on

[57:45]my chest the prophet wanted his beloved grandsons to be on his

[57:50]chest in those final moments as he was farewelling them yes the

[57:55]poet in arabic he describes these two scenes it talking about imam

[58:02]hussein he says one day on the chest of al mustafa and

[58:10]one day on the plains of karabbalah imagine imagine in those final

[58:15]moments the prophet wanted his beloved hussein to be on his chest

[58:20]but what did this ummah do to abba abdullah al hussein on

[58:25]the day of ashura these were very difficult moments for the al

[58:31]al baith peace be upon them the lady fatima she comes into

[58:37]the room she could not hold back her tears she knew that

[58:43]now she was going to lose her guardian and that others would

[58:47]be emboldened to attack her lady fatima has sensed that she knew

[58:52]that she was about to lose her guardian and protect her she

[58:56]wants to the prophet she cries but the prophet he wants to

[59:02]comfort her he whispers something into her ears that gives her some

[59:06]comfort later lady fatima was asked what is it that the prophet

[59:10]whispered into your ear that made you comfortable she said the prophet

[59:15]informed me that i would be the first one from his from

[59:19]his family to join him and this gave me comfort i knew

[59:24]i would not stay long after the prophet yes in those final

[59:29]moments jibrael he descends to the prophet israel the angel of death

[59:36]comes to visit the prophet israel when allah commands him to go

[59:42]and take the soul of anyone he would never be authorized by

[59:47]allah to give that person the choice of staying in this world

[59:51]or departing the only exception was rasulullah when the angel of death

[59:57]comes to him he tells him you rasulullah allah has given you

[60:02]the option do you want to stay longer in this world or

[60:06]do you want to go back to your lord one hadith states

[60:09]the prophet talks to jibraeen he tells him habibi jibra'in you tell

[60:16]me what do you recommend should i stay in this world or

[60:21]should i choose to go back to my lord that's when jibra'in

[60:25]recited this verse to him he said no you rasulullah the akhirah

[60:34]is better than this world go back to your lord that is

[60:38]better for you at that point the prophet looks at the angel

[60:43]of death and he does him i give you the permission o

[60:48]angel of death you can take my soul you can take my

[60:53]life imam ali ibn abi talib ibn najal baragah says he says

[60:58]i swear by allah the prophet was in my arms when he

[61:04]breathed his final moments and the soul of the prophet departed he
