0:00:49 you know the best role model for any

0:00:57 pick up the q and a at the end inshallah
0:00:59 inshallah alhamdulillah
0:01:04 let me share my screen here inshallah
0:01:20 here we go so i have prepared this
0:01:23 presentation to go over the life of the
0:01:26 prophet sallallahu as a role model
0:01:28 and most importantly as a human being
0:01:31 my colleagues also for dean jazal
0:01:34 khairan
0:01:34 and fat islam in the last couple of
0:01:36 weeks they spoke about the prophet saws
0:01:39 as a prophet and today inshallah i'm
0:01:42 going to talk about him as a human being
0:01:45 and how we
0:01:45 as muslims and humanity at large can
0:01:49 connect
0:01:50 with him on a personal level so i'm
0:01:52 going to begin with this
0:01:54 quote from this book the 100th ranking
0:01:57 of the most influential persons in
0:01:59 history
0:02:00 by michael hart so he wrote in his book
0:02:03 so basically this book is a list of the
0:02:07 100 most influential people
0:02:09 in human history according to michael
0:02:11 hart and he basically
0:02:13 chose muhammad salla and peace be upon
0:02:15 him as number one
0:02:17 in the list so the prophet saws tops the
0:02:19 list in his book
0:02:21 he said my choice of muhammad to lead
0:02:23 the list of the world's most influential
0:02:25 persons
0:02:26 may surprise some readers and may be
0:02:29 questioned by others
0:02:30 but he was the only human in history who
0:02:33 was supremely successful on both
0:02:35 the religious and secular levels so
0:02:38 last time and the time before asafoetin
0:02:41 and fat spoke about the prophet saws
0:02:43 as a religious leader to today inshallah
0:02:46 i'm going to talk about him
0:02:48 as a human leader from a personal
0:02:51 perspective
0:02:52 as a human being we know that as muslims
0:02:56 the prophet saws every single detail of
0:02:59 his life
0:03:00 is covered from the minute he was born
0:03:04 till he died his life on earth 63 years
0:03:08 is covered in my new details
0:03:11 the sahaba the companions of the prophet
0:03:13 saslam gave us
0:03:15 details about his life what he said when
0:03:18 he woke up
0:03:19 what did he say before he went to bed
0:03:22 how he
0:03:22 purified himself in the washroom how
0:03:25 many gray hairs that he had in his beard
0:03:27 and his in his head
0:03:29 every single detail if if you look for
0:03:31 example at the life of jesus
0:03:33 for example in the bible details about
0:03:37 his life you cannot find
0:03:38 details about his life in the first 27
0:03:41 years of his life
0:03:42 not a single paragraph on his life
0:03:46 but the life of muhammad sallam is
0:03:48 covered in every detail they even know
0:03:51 the name of his stick stuff the name of
0:03:54 his camel
0:03:55 the name of his horse the name of his
0:03:58 shield
0:03:58 every single thing subhanallah in every
0:04:01 detail
0:04:02 thousands of biographies have been
0:04:04 written about the prophet saw
0:04:05 and by ibnis
0:04:09 thousands of biographies have been
0:04:10 written on his life
0:04:12 and of course the first uh details of
0:04:14 his life come
0:04:15 in the form of the quran the revelation
0:04:18 that touched
0:04:19 uh on some insights from his life and of
0:04:21 course
0:04:22 uh the seerah the biographies of the
0:04:24 prophet sallam and his
0:04:26 hadith and so on and so forth we are
0:04:28 told clearly in the quran
0:04:33 that prophet muhammad saw was no more
0:04:37 than a human being
0:04:38 but the only difference between you and
0:04:41 i and him
0:04:42 was that he received revelations from
0:04:45 allah this is the only difference
0:04:47 but he was a human being in
0:04:50 every uh you know uh in every term
0:04:54 of of this uh of this of the word
0:04:57 so the prophet saws was a human being
0:04:59 who received revelations from allah
0:05:00 subhanahu wa ta'ala
0:05:02 and the reason why this is stated very
0:05:04 clearly in the quran is because
0:05:06 his opponents the people of makkah the
0:05:08 pagans of arabia at the time
0:05:10 they requested one of among other things
0:05:13 that they wanted an
0:05:14 angel prophet they said we cannot accept
0:05:18 a human being like us to to lead us
0:05:21 so therefore they requested an angel
0:05:24 prophet and they are told
0:05:28 that if we sent an angel and this comes
0:05:31 in in
0:05:31 chapter 6 surah and of the quran that if
0:05:34 we sent an
0:05:35 angel you would not be able you're not
0:05:37 equipped
0:05:38 to see this angel so we have to send him
0:05:41 this angel in the form of a human being
0:05:44 and eventually you will be more confused
0:05:47 and also the opponents of the prophet
0:05:50 saw sallam if allah were to send a
0:05:52 prophet
0:05:53 as an angel or an angelic prophet they
0:05:56 would have argued
0:05:57 you know this prophet is who is an angel
0:06:00 is fasting for 30 days in ramadan who
0:06:03 prays five times a day
0:06:05 who is going for hajj he is doing this
0:06:07 because he is an angel
0:06:09 but we are human beings who are miskin
0:06:12 we're powerless
0:06:13 we cannot do all the things that he does
0:06:16 and and therefore allah
0:06:19 a human being like them who was able to
0:06:22 do all of these things these different
0:06:23 acts of worship fasting praying
0:06:25 going for hajj and pilgrimage and all
0:06:27 these things now they cannot argue
0:06:30 that he is an angel and we need an
0:06:32 average person like
0:06:34 us to do all these things so we can copy
0:06:37 these examples so now
0:06:38 they have no excuse if you look at the
0:06:42 example of the prophet sasa
0:06:44 as a human being again in the rest of my
0:06:47 presentation i'll be talking about the
0:06:48 prophet saws as a human being
0:06:50 and how you and i can connect with him
0:06:53 on a personal level
0:06:55 so the prophet saws had a positive
0:06:57 attitude towards life
0:07:00 and from a very young age i used to go
0:07:03 to al-azhar in the morning in egypt walk
0:07:05 one hour one way come
0:07:07 uh you know one hour the other way and
0:07:10 in the evening
0:07:10 after i had done some work in the farm i
0:07:13 would sit and reflect
0:07:15 and i would say from a young age that
0:07:18 there were bees and flies
0:07:20 among other things in the farm and they
0:07:22 would fly
0:07:23 up high and they see everything from the
0:07:24 top like when they fly
0:07:27 and eventually i realized from a very
0:07:30 young age
0:07:31 that bees eventually landed on flowers
0:07:34 and flies would land on junk
0:07:38 so human beings are the same way some
0:07:40 people are very positive
0:07:42 and they have a positive attitude on
0:07:44 life and some people they are just
0:07:47 negative they keep whining and
0:07:48 complaining
0:07:49 so the prophet saw assalam had this
0:07:51 positive attitude on life
0:07:54 he was always positive even in the most
0:07:56 difficult times
0:07:58 we know that when he was in the cave uh
0:08:00 on the way to medina because
0:08:02 fleeing persecution in makkah and abu
0:08:06 bakr allah was panicking
0:08:08 and he said in the cave if he looked at
0:08:10 their feet
0:08:11 they would see us and the prophet
0:08:13 salallahu assured him and he said
0:08:18 don't be sad allah is our third
0:08:21 he is with us and he is taking care of
0:08:23 us and so even in the most difficult
0:08:26 moments of his life the prophet saws was
0:08:28 very positive
0:08:29 and he taught us positivity and this is
0:08:32 something that
0:08:33 amazing that we can learn as muslims and
0:08:36 subhanallah this reminds me of a story
0:08:38 that i always share with people
0:08:40 that this there was this old man he was
0:08:43 picked up from the road
0:08:44 in a critical condition and basically he
0:08:47 was rushed
0:08:48 to the intensive care unit and he opened
0:08:51 his eyes in the intensive care unit and
0:08:53 he saw all the doctors and the nurses
0:08:54 panicking and freaking out
0:08:56 because they didn't know anything about
0:08:58 this patient they didn't know his name
0:08:59 his family doctor his blood type his
0:09:02 medical history
0:09:03 so they were panicking and freaking out
0:09:06 so he lifted his oxygen mask
0:09:08 to reassure them and he said be positive
0:09:10 be positive
0:09:12 he said it like 15 17 times and
0:09:14 eventually he died
0:09:16 and the doctors and the nurses they
0:09:18 loved him because of his positive
0:09:19 attitude
0:09:20 and subhanallah only after his funeral
0:09:22 janazah
0:09:23 they realized that he was not trying to
0:09:25 tell them to be positive
0:09:27 he was just trying to tell them his
0:09:28 blood type be positive
0:09:30 but anyway i always take this story as
0:09:33 as you know a good story for having a
0:09:36 positive attitude
0:09:38 so now when we look at the life of the
0:09:40 prophet salem as a human being in makkah
0:09:43 and in medina the mushriku and the
0:09:46 pagans of arabia
0:09:47 they loved the prophet saw as a human
0:09:50 being
0:09:51 but they had issues with him at a
0:09:52 prophet they totally
0:09:54 completely loved him as a human being
0:09:57 they trust him with their valuables like
0:10:00 people like abu jahl and abu lahab and
0:10:02 abu sufyan before they became muslim
0:10:05 they didn't trust anyone with their
0:10:07 valuables
0:10:09 more than the prophet saws yes they were
0:10:11 hanging out together abu jahl and abu
0:10:13 lahab and abu sufyan before he became
0:10:15 muslim
0:10:16 all the time they were hanging out
0:10:18 together but they didn't trust each
0:10:20 other with their valuables
0:10:21 they trusted muhammad assalam because he
0:10:23 was a perfect human being
0:10:26 and the prophet saws after he migrated
0:10:28 to madinah
0:10:29 he made sure that alibi talib returned
0:10:32 all these valuables and trusts he gave
0:10:35 them back even to his enemies and
0:10:37 opponents
0:10:38 and this is why the people of arabia
0:10:40 they loved him as a prophet
0:10:41 but some of them they had issues with
0:10:43 him as a prophet
0:10:45 even though they loved him as a human
0:10:47 being and they called him
0:10:49 uh as al-amin the trustworthy assad i
0:10:52 mean the
0:10:53 the truthful man the the the trustworthy
0:10:56 man
0:10:58 and this is true for all for almost all
0:11:00 prophets
0:11:01 uh prophets like moses and jesus and
0:11:04 nu and subhanallah when you read their
0:11:08 stories
0:11:09 in sura surah number 7
0:11:12 surah surah 26 and other surahs of the
0:11:15 quran
0:11:16 people loved these prophets as human
0:11:19 beings
0:11:20 but they had issues with them as
0:11:21 prophets prophet saleh is told in the
0:11:24 quran
0:11:29 we really had great expectations for you
0:11:32 you were a great man now you are telling
0:11:35 us that you're a prophet
0:11:37 and you are telling that stealing from
0:11:39 each other is wrong
0:11:41 what's wrong with you they said the same
0:11:43 thing to prophet tribe and
0:11:45 others so basically people loved the
0:11:48 reformed
0:11:50 who prayed who fasted who gave charity
0:11:53 they had no problem with him praying and
0:11:54 fasting but
0:11:56 they had a problem with him being
0:11:58 reformers
0:11:59 so now if you open your mouth as a
0:12:02 prophet
0:12:03 and you start to challenge social
0:12:06 economic
0:12:07 political problems in society saying
0:12:10 that abusing people
0:12:12 on the basis of their color on the basis
0:12:14 of their faith
0:12:15 on the basis of the gender is wrong
0:12:19 so people will have issues with you so
0:12:22 subhanallah when the prophet saw sallam
0:12:23 stood up
0:12:24 for af blacks and he stood up for slaves
0:12:28 and he stood up for the rights of women
0:12:30 and he stood up for the rights of the
0:12:32 poor now
0:12:34 the the the elite in society like
0:12:37 had issues with him because now
0:12:40 this is going to affect their social and
0:12:43 political
0:12:43 status in society so they have issues
0:12:46 with him
0:12:47 when the prophet saws said that women
0:12:49 had rights they have a say in marriage
0:12:52 they have a right to their belongings
0:12:55 their property
0:12:56 they had a right education to learn
0:12:58 about the deen
0:12:59 they had a right uh in you know a right
0:13:03 to
0:13:04 to to to to have their own property and
0:13:07 so on and so forth some people had they
0:13:08 had issues with that and
0:13:10 and they went to war with the prophet
0:13:12 saws because of
0:13:14 promoting and advocating social equity
0:13:17 and economic equity and so on and so
0:13:19 forth
0:13:21 and subhanallah muslims
0:13:24 these days and islam you always see
0:13:26 islam in the news because
0:13:28 muslims stand up for what is right and
0:13:30 this is something that we have in the
0:13:32 quran allah subhana wa ta'ala says
0:13:34 stand up for right as witnesses to god
0:13:37 it's in surah 4 and it's in surah 5.
0:13:41 now when you look at the prophet
0:13:42 sallallahu as a human being
0:13:45 he was willing to forgive his abusers
0:13:48 people who abused him people who
0:13:50 attacked him
0:13:51 attacked his friends they made fun of
0:13:53 him and subhanallah somewhat like his
0:13:56 his daughter zain she lost her baby
0:13:59 because of them
0:14:00 she was trying to immigrate to medina
0:14:03 and
0:14:04 she was attacked her camel was attacked
0:14:06 she fell off
0:14:07 al-habbarab that's what this man he
0:14:09 attacked her camel she fell off
0:14:11 and she lost her baby because of them
0:14:14 and the prophet saws lost his
0:14:16 granddaughter or grandson because of
0:14:18 them
0:14:18 and eventually when mecca was opened and
0:14:21 the prophet saw salam issued this
0:14:23 universal amnesty
0:14:24 forgiving all of them even though they
0:14:27 tried to kill him
0:14:28 on several occasions they abused him and
0:14:31 his friends
0:14:32 and they forced him uh when they
0:14:35 besieged him and his wife khadijah and
0:14:37 abu talib and others for three years
0:14:39 until the prophet saw sallam and his
0:14:41 companions and his wife
0:14:44 they were forced to eat leaves and grass
0:14:47 for three years
0:14:49 and subhanallah after killing many of
0:14:52 his friends and abusing him and
0:14:53 persecuting them
0:14:54 when the prophet saw assalam took over
0:14:56 the city of mecca he was willing to
0:14:58 forgive
0:14:59 all of them subhanallah this is
0:15:01 something else
0:15:02 the prophet saw didn't have personal
0:15:05 problems with him he wanted to stand up
0:15:07 for what was right
0:15:09 they had issues with that they attacked
0:15:11 him but when they submitted to the truth
0:15:13 at the end the prophet saw sallam was
0:15:15 willing to forgive all of them
0:15:17 and to start a new page with him you
0:15:20 look at the prophet saws
0:15:21 someone who was in control of all of
0:15:24 arabia before his death and his raleigh
0:15:27 his life didn't really change from his
0:15:30 life in makkah under persecution to his
0:15:32 life in medina when he became the figure
0:15:35 the ruling figure in arabia he lived a
0:15:38 very simple life he was very
0:15:40 humble he lived a life of humility a
0:15:42 life of service
0:15:43 to his family and to his community we
0:15:46 are told that the prophet saws
0:15:49 which is an authentic hadith in bukhari
0:15:52 the prophet saws was always in the
0:15:54 service of the family he was
0:15:56 one of them in his house he was
0:15:59 cleaning in the house he was helping
0:16:01 them around in the house with cooking
0:16:03 and everything
0:16:04 he was patching his clothes patching his
0:16:06 shoes he was milking
0:16:08 his goat and his cow he was leading by
0:16:10 example
0:16:11 and the prophet saws said the best among
0:16:14 you
0:16:14 are the best to their families to their
0:16:17 wives who help them
0:16:19 who are nice to them who took care of
0:16:21 them and he didn't sit around and order
0:16:24 his family to do this and do that no he
0:16:26 was helping them
0:16:28 and they say but when the time for
0:16:29 prayer came
0:16:31 he would leave the house as if he didn't
0:16:33 know us and we didn't know him
0:16:36 so that was the prophet saw every time
0:16:39 they say that his daughter his daughter
0:16:42 fatima
0:16:43 came to him and he was in the gathering
0:16:45 he was sitting
0:16:46 somewhere he would stand up and he would
0:16:49 welcome his
0:16:50 daughter fatima and he would kiss her in
0:16:52 the forehead
0:16:53 and he would have had he would have her
0:16:56 sit next to him
0:16:57 as a way of honoring her and he said
0:17:00 because
0:17:01 the prophet zalem grew up in a society
0:17:04 that
0:17:04 looked down about upon females daughters
0:17:07 they didn't like to have daughters
0:17:08 because
0:17:09 they preferred to have sons because they
0:17:12 were going to support them financially
0:17:13 their sons would support them they would
0:17:15 work and support they would defend them
0:17:18 if they were attacked by another tribe
0:17:20 so the prophet saws
0:17:22 wanted to lead by example and he
0:17:24 abolished this
0:17:26 horrendous practice that they had before
0:17:28 islam that
0:17:30 some tribes they would bury their
0:17:32 daughters
0:17:33 alive out of shame and out of poverty
0:17:36 and so on and so forth so the prophet
0:17:38 saws
0:17:38 led by example and he honored his
0:17:40 daughter fatima
0:17:42 and he said if allah blessed you blessed
0:17:45 you
0:17:45 with daughters and you take care of them
0:17:48 and you teach them
0:17:50 they will be your bridge to jannah to
0:17:52 paradise
0:17:54 and so on and so forth so the prophet
0:17:55 saw sallam honored women
0:17:58 and the prophet sallam got married to
0:18:01 his wife
0:18:03 she was a businesswoman and he she hired
0:18:06 him to work for her
0:18:07 and eventually because of his honesty
0:18:09 because of murua
0:18:11 chivalry and because of his o'clock
0:18:13 manners she proposed to him
0:18:15 to marry him sallallahu the prophet saw
0:18:19 sallam had his grandchildren al-hasan
0:18:21 al-husayin
0:18:22 and he would play with him and one time
0:18:25 someone came in the mosque
0:18:27 and he saw the prophet saw sallam
0:18:29 walking on on or
0:18:31 on forehand you know on his hands and
0:18:33 his feet on all four
0:18:35 and he said yeah rasulallah
0:18:40 what an amazing horse are you ya
0:18:42 rasulullah for your grandchildren
0:18:44 and the prophet saw sallam said no
0:18:49 how amazing knights are they horsemen
0:18:52 are they he's talking about his
0:18:54 grandchildren
0:18:55 the prophet saws would be giving in a
0:18:57 speech and this is in bukhari
0:18:59 and the prophet saws in the middle of
0:19:01 the speech the sermon on friday
0:19:03 and he saw his grandchildren coming from
0:19:05 the back of the masjid very young like
0:19:07 two three years old
0:19:08 and they were stumbling because they had
0:19:10 this dress and the prophet saw
0:19:12 him would pause the he would pause his
0:19:14 stock and he would walk all the way to
0:19:16 the back
0:19:17 and he would carry his own children
0:19:19 grandchildren and bring them to the
0:19:21 front
0:19:21 we're told that the prophet saw salam
0:19:23 would carry his granddaughter umami in
0:19:26 salah
0:19:27 he would carry her like he would babysit
0:19:29 his grandchildren
0:19:31 he would babysit his granddaughter umami
0:19:34 and carry her in salah
0:19:36 subhanallah we're told in an authentic
0:19:39 hadith inside muslim
0:19:41 that and this is beautiful i love this
0:19:42 particular hadith the prophet saws
0:19:45 to show you how he treated his wife and
0:19:47 how he treated in his family
0:19:49 so the prophet saws in one occasion he
0:19:52 was coming back he was in a travel he
0:19:54 was coming back
0:19:55 to medina and he had his wife safiya
0:19:58 this is many years after
0:20:00 the passing of his first wife khadijah
0:20:02 he had a wife by the name of safiya
0:20:04 and we know that from hadith she was not
0:20:06 tall
0:20:07 so basically the her camera was on the
0:20:09 floor she tried to get on top of the
0:20:12 camel and she couldn't
0:20:13 so the narrator of the hadith inside
0:20:16 muslim
0:20:17 he said either have been nabi suddenly i
0:20:20 saw the prophet saw sallam coming
0:20:22 forward
0:20:23 rushing to help his wife and he went
0:20:25 down on his knees
0:20:27 he went down in his knees in the sand or
0:20:29 the mud so his wife can get on top of
0:20:32 her
0:20:32 of his knees with her shoes and he
0:20:35 helped her
0:20:35 to get on top of the camel or the horse
0:20:38 so
0:20:38 now some will say oh what is the big
0:20:42 deal
0:20:42 to put it in today's perspective let's
0:20:44 say that justin trudeau
0:20:46 our prime minister is going somewhere
0:20:49 with his wife
0:20:50 and because it's snowing subhanallah it
0:20:53 started to snow this year on december
0:20:55 1st and we just had a
0:20:56 another snowfall a few days ago and it
0:20:59 was snowing earlier today
0:21:00 welcome to canada so they were going
0:21:03 somewhere she couldn't get out of the
0:21:04 car or in the car because of its
0:21:06 it's snowing or it was muddy and he got
0:21:09 down rushing on his knees
0:21:11 and she got on top of his knees with her
0:21:13 shoes inside the car
0:21:15 and subhanallah cbc or bbc is there and
0:21:18 they're taking video and mashallah
0:21:20 believe me he will win majority
0:21:22 government the same day
0:21:24 because people say oh mashallah he's so
0:21:26 romantic he's an amazing man he's a good
0:21:28 husband and
0:21:29 but the prophet saws was not doing it
0:21:31 for the bbc
0:21:32 he was not doing it for the news he was
0:21:35 doing it because of who he was
0:21:37 a perfect husband a good man and we're
0:21:40 told in the quran that the prophet saw
0:21:42 is the best role model for all people to
0:21:45 follow
0:21:46 if you want to be a good husband the
0:21:48 prophet saws the best husband follow his
0:21:50 example
0:21:51 if you want to be a good father look up
0:21:53 to the example of the prophet saw sallam
0:21:55 if you want to be a friend
0:21:56 if you want to be a businessman if you
0:21:59 want to be a teacher the prophet saw
0:22:00 asylum is always the role model
0:22:02 for you to follow this reminds me of a
0:22:05 true story that happened with
0:22:08 a brother it's a true story that
0:22:10 happened in the 1980s
0:22:12 to a brother and his wife he was in
0:22:14 jeddah in saudi arabia
0:22:16 he was a teacher she was a nurse so
0:22:18 every morning he would drive his wife
0:22:21 to the hospital at 8 o'clock without
0:22:24 failure
0:22:25 every day he would pull over in front of
0:22:27 the hospital
0:22:28 he would get out of the car and he would
0:22:30 go to the back and he would open the
0:22:31 door for his wife
0:22:32 fatherly and masha allah the nurses and
0:22:35 the doctors they started to talk about
0:22:36 this mashallah amazing egyptian man he's
0:22:40 so romantic he's so nice with his wife
0:22:42 he would pull over get out of the car go
0:22:43 to the back and open the door for his
0:22:45 wife man this is fantastic
0:22:48 and after a month the saudi manager told
0:22:50 the
0:22:51 egyptian husband and he said dude we
0:22:53 need to go and talk to
0:22:54 you we need to talk man let's go to the
0:22:57 office we need to talk
0:22:58 like so they went to the office and the
0:23:03 the manager said to the egyptian husband
0:23:05 dude you make us look bad and the
0:23:07 egyptian husband said why
0:23:09 and he said because every morning you
0:23:11 pull over get out of the car you go to
0:23:12 the back and open the door for your wife
0:23:14 and we don't do this around here
0:23:16 you make us look bad and the husband
0:23:18 said subhanallah
0:23:19 dude you don't understand the lock is
0:23:22 broken
0:23:24 every morning i have to get me um yeah
0:23:26 and we have to go to um
0:23:28 i have to get out and and go in the cold
0:23:30 and open the door and
0:23:32 if you give me 300 yells or maybe 20
0:23:35 pounds
0:23:36 i'm gonna go and fix it no problem
0:23:38 you're not
0:23:39 no more mr nice guy khala's finished but
0:23:41 again the prophet saws was doing it for
0:23:43 the right reasons
0:23:45 because he was leading by example as a
0:23:47 role model
0:23:48 for the community and for his ummah for
0:23:51 his nation
0:23:54 one more thing that we learned from the
0:23:55 prophet saws based on authentic
0:23:57 hadith and these things there's so much
0:24:00 to cover but i just chose certain points
0:24:03 to cover about the life of the prophet
0:24:04 saws as a human being
0:24:06 the prophet saws
0:24:11 he never criticized food
0:24:15 he never criticized food they say in
0:24:17 authentic narrations a hadith
0:24:19 if he liked food he would eat it so
0:24:22 let's say if you give him a certain food
0:24:25 if he was hungry if he liked the food he
0:24:28 would eat it he would eat it
0:24:30 but if he didn't like it and he would
0:24:31 say thank you i wouldn't feel like
0:24:34 eating now
0:24:35 he wouldn't say like
0:24:38 what's wrong with you what is this junk
0:24:42 talk no he didn't do that the prophet
0:24:45 saws
0:24:46 never criticized food and the prophet
0:24:49 saws
0:24:53 the prophet saws never ever hit
0:24:57 a woman or a servant and the prophet
0:24:59 saws
0:25:00 never ever it is never reported in any
0:25:03 narration
0:25:04 it is never reported that the prophet
0:25:06 saw sallam would ever raise his voice to
0:25:08 his wife
0:25:09 never happened not once
0:25:13 particular hadith that i love about the
0:25:15 prophet saws
0:25:17 the prophet saws
0:25:21 this beautiful hadith really touched me
0:25:24 that the prophet saw asylum was
0:25:26 never ever seen idol not doing anything
0:25:29 he was always seen doing something
0:25:32 leading salah reading quran teaching
0:25:35 people helping his family defending his
0:25:38 community
0:25:39 receiving delegations he was never seen
0:25:42 kassidan idol cut he was always doing
0:25:46 something
0:25:46 even in his free time he would remember
0:25:49 allah and so on and so forth
0:25:51 subhanallah this is something that
0:25:53 benefited me on a personal level
0:25:55 in my practical life that i'm i try to
0:25:58 do something good
0:25:59 every day so this is why alhamdulillah
0:26:02 in the last few years
0:26:04 if you just think about this year alone
0:26:06 2020
0:26:07 i released the clear quran for kids
0:26:11 i released shukran as an illustrated
0:26:13 story for children to teach them how to
0:26:15 appreciate their parents
0:26:17 in uh by the end of this month inshallah
0:26:19 i'm going to be sending
0:26:20 a dictionary of the quran to the
0:26:22 printers the clear quran dictionary
0:26:25 and this took me thousands of hours and
0:26:27 if you want to know more details about
0:26:29 the clear quran for tao and everything
0:26:31 go to our website the clear quran dot
0:26:32 org
0:26:33 the clear quran.org now the commercial
0:26:35 is over but again this is something
0:26:38 that i learned from the prophet sallam i
0:26:39 have to do good things all the time
0:26:42 and we are taught that if you don't busy
0:26:44 yourself with good
0:26:46 then your enough yourself with will busy
0:26:48 you with evil
0:26:49 so you might as well busy yourself with
0:26:51 doing good things
0:26:53 subhanallah so this is something that i
0:26:55 learned from the prophet saw
0:26:56 so every day i'm working i'm giving
0:26:59 talks
0:27:00 i'm teaching i'm working on a book maybe
0:27:02 i'm playing with my children i'm cooking
0:27:04 for my family
0:27:06 because you know my wife she was a
0:27:08 doctor in egypt but they made it
0:27:10 difficult for her even though she passed
0:27:11 all the tests
0:27:12 so i told her don't give up be positive
0:27:16 think out of the box this is something
0:27:17 we learned from the prophet
0:27:19 go and learn naturopathic medicine so
0:27:22 alhamdulillah she enrolled a couple of
0:27:23 years ago
0:27:24 now she is practicing under supervision
0:27:27 and maybe in a few months
0:27:29 by april may inshallah she is going to
0:27:31 practice as a full-time
0:27:33 as as a professional naturopathic doctor
0:27:37 which required me as a good muslim
0:27:39 husband to do a lot of kick
0:27:41 cooking a lot of driving a lot of
0:27:43 babysitting and again
0:27:45 this is something i learned from the
0:27:46 prophet saws to help my wife and take
0:27:48 good care of her
0:27:50 so inshallah when she works uh to
0:27:53 serve the community as an apache a
0:27:55 naturopathic doctor
0:27:56 so people can look up to her and say she
0:27:59 is a practicing muslim
0:28:01 and she is a successful muslim woman and
0:28:03 this by itself is a form of dawah
0:28:06 and of course she will be helping women
0:28:08 in the community
0:28:09 and and examining them and so on and so
0:28:11 forth
0:28:13 and subhanallah when i'm working on
0:28:15 these books and
0:28:16 working hard day and night translating
0:28:18 the quran the quran dictionary
0:28:21 this book and that book and and i see
0:28:23 people subhanallah on facebook they are
0:28:25 sending me invitations to play
0:28:27 all candy crush and respond to this in
0:28:30 video dude i don't have time
0:28:32 zindagi life is short man
0:28:35 i need to be working i need to be
0:28:37 contributing and giving back to the
0:28:39 community and this is something i
0:28:40 learned from the prophet's assassin
0:28:41 the prophet saw i saw him as a human
0:28:43 being was very
0:28:45 practical we learned from the hadith in
0:28:47 bukhari that when his beloved son
0:28:49 ibrahim died
0:28:51 belo before the age of two under the age
0:28:53 of two
0:28:55 of course the it coincided with an
0:28:58 eclipse on that day
0:28:59 and rumors spread that the heaven
0:29:02 is sad for the passing of the son of the
0:29:05 prophet
0:29:06 and the prophet sallam came out and he
0:29:08 gave a khutbah he gave a talk and he
0:29:10 said
0:29:10 listen everyone the sun and the moon
0:29:13 are two natural signs of allah they
0:29:16 don't eclipse
0:29:17 they do not eclipse for anybody's death
0:29:20 or birth so when you see a solar eclipse
0:29:23 like this
0:29:24 go and make salah go and pray
0:29:26 subhanallah
0:29:29 we learned that the prophet saw sallam
0:29:30 said there are hadith about him the
0:29:33 prophet saw sallam we know for a fact
0:29:35 that the prophet saw assalam had seven
0:29:38 children
0:29:39 and he lost six of them in his lifetime
0:29:42 can you imagine as a parent you know
0:29:44 many of us subhanallah
0:29:46 me and my wife we had two miscarriages
0:29:48 before
0:29:49 and that was a very difficult time for
0:29:51 us but now i imagine you are a parent
0:29:54 and you have children in your hand
0:29:57 and subhanallah some something happened
0:30:00 to them they died and you would go and
0:30:02 bury them
0:30:03 so as a parent this would be devastating
0:30:05 for you and the family
0:30:06 so the prophet saws had to do this six
0:30:10 times in his life six hours of his seven
0:30:13 children
0:30:13 died in his lifetime and on top of that
0:30:15 put his life khadija
0:30:16 his wife khadijah put his uncle abu
0:30:19 talib
0:30:20 put his wife sign up into josiah and the
0:30:22 pagans weren't trying to kill him and so
0:30:24 on and so forth
0:30:25 still we're told in authentic hadith the
0:30:28 companions of the prophet saws
0:30:33 we never saw anyone who smiled
0:30:36 more than the prophet saws so paul this
0:30:39 is amazing man
0:30:40 we never saw anyone who smiled more than
0:30:44 the prophet saws
0:30:44 despite of all these challenges and all
0:30:46 these difficulties
0:30:49 you look at subhanallah you can write
0:30:51 volumes
0:30:52 on the treatment of the prophet sallam
0:30:55 to his companions each one of them you
0:30:58 can write volumes
0:30:59 on how he treated abu bakr how he
0:31:01 treated omar how he treated the uthman
0:31:04 how he treated ali how he treated bilal
0:31:06 how he
0:31:07 treated his wife you can write volumes
0:31:10 and subhanallah one of them is jabber
0:31:12 this is one of my favorite stories
0:31:15 uh of the prophet saws in the books of
0:31:17 seerah it shows you
0:31:19 the prophet saw i saw him how amazing he
0:31:22 was
0:31:22 as a friend so he was traveling
0:31:26 with jabba ibn abdullah he was going
0:31:29 back to medina
0:31:30 and that was after the passing of the
0:31:32 father of jabber
0:31:34 so his father passed away so the prophet
0:31:36 saws was chatting with him
0:31:38 and he said how is the family and
0:31:39 everything and he said ya rasulullah
0:31:41 my father you know as you know he passed
0:31:43 away he left a lot of debts
0:31:45 and he he left 11 10 daughters he
0:31:48 left 10 daughters i'm taking care of
0:31:51 them
0:31:52 so the prophet saws so while they were
0:31:55 traveling the prophet saw
0:31:56 him would be at the back of the caravan
0:31:58 not in the front because he wanted to
0:32:00 to make sure that everyone was doing
0:32:02 well at the back
0:32:03 so basically he came across jabber and
0:32:06 jabber his camel was very tired very
0:32:08 exhausted
0:32:09 and he said yeah rasulallah what is hap
0:32:11 the prophet saws
0:32:12 and said jabba what is happening and he
0:32:13 said my camel is very exhausted
0:32:15 it's worn out so the prophet saws
0:32:18 blessed the camel and made dua prayed
0:32:21 for the camel
0:32:22 so in in a few minutes the camel was
0:32:25 rushing to the front
0:32:27 and people were struggling to catch up
0:32:29 with him so the prophet saw sallam
0:32:31 smiled and he said ya
0:32:32 jabber this hadith is a bukharian muslim
0:32:35 it's an authentic narration he said yeah
0:32:39 i would love to buy this camel from you
0:32:42 so
0:32:42 jabber it's a gift to you
0:32:45 so the prophet sallam said no i'm going
0:32:48 to pay you
0:32:48 when we reach madina i'm going to pay
0:32:50 you okay so when they arrived in madina
0:32:53 jabber came to the mosque to deliver the
0:32:55 camel to the prophet saws
0:32:57 so the prophet saw sallam told his
0:32:59 assistant bilal
0:33:00 he told him pay him double so the camera
0:33:04 was worth
0:33:04 five golden coins so the prophet saws
0:33:06 and paid him nine or ten that is
0:33:08 twice the value and when jabber was
0:33:11 about to leave the mosque the prophet
0:33:13 sallam said
0:33:14 jabber by the way take the camel
0:33:18 it's a gift from me to you allah so it
0:33:21 turned out
0:33:22 that the prophet saws wanted to help
0:33:25 jabber with his financial difficulty
0:33:27 without scratching his dignity look at
0:33:30 this subhanallah this is amazing
0:33:32 and i always cite this story in ramadan
0:33:34 when people ask me can i give zakah to
0:33:36 my brother or sister
0:33:37 my biological brother or sister or my
0:33:39 uncle and aunt
0:33:40 and i tell them of course yes and you'll
0:33:42 get two rewards as the prophet sallam
0:33:44 said
0:33:45 there are three types of people you
0:33:46 cannot give zakat to your parents
0:33:49 your wife and your children you have to
0:33:51 provide for them regardless
0:33:53 but your brother sister uncle aunt you
0:33:56 still can give them from zakah
0:33:58 and allah will give you two rewards and
0:34:00 if people say can i tell them that this
0:34:02 is from zakah
0:34:03 i tell them you don't have to tell them
0:34:05 anything just like the prophet saws
0:34:08 supported jabba without scratching his
0:34:10 dignity
0:34:10 you don't have to tell them this is
0:34:12 zakah because people would be hurt
0:34:14 if they ask you tell them this is hadiya
0:34:16 ikram this is a gift you don't have to
0:34:18 tell them
0:34:18 this is zakay too
0:34:21 we learn
0:34:24 from the prophet saws and how to be in
0:34:27 the time of pandemics
0:34:28 and this is relevant now when we talk
0:34:30 about coronavirus
0:34:32 the prophet saws everyone knows he was
0:34:35 keen on hide keeping
0:34:36 hygiene like washing at least five times
0:34:39 every day for
0:34:40 wudu to prepare himself for the prayers
0:34:42 and he said on authentic hadith
0:34:46 if you know that there is a pandemic
0:34:48 somewhere don't mix with the people
0:34:50 don't go to that place
0:34:52 and if it breaks out in your locality in
0:34:54 your area
0:34:55 don't leave that area and go somewhere
0:34:57 else and mix with with
0:34:58 with other people he heard that there is
0:35:02 the the there's someone who was coming
0:35:04 to pledge allegiance to him
0:35:06 and this person had the contagious
0:35:08 illness and he was coming towards the
0:35:10 masjid so the prophet saws
0:35:12 sent someone to meet that person halfway
0:35:15 and to tell him we have already given
0:35:18 you
0:35:19 a virtual allegiance
0:35:23 so return and go back you already
0:35:25 achieved your purpose
0:35:28 accomplished you don't have to come to
0:35:30 the mosque with this contagious illness
0:35:32 i have already given you allegiance
0:35:34 khalas go back allah will bless you i
0:35:36 reward you so subhanallah very practical
0:35:40 so in the last five minutes of the life
0:35:42 of this talk let me talk a little bit
0:35:44 about something amazing
0:35:46 because our communities these days
0:35:47 subhanallah
0:35:49 are plagued with racism racism
0:35:52 subhanallah
0:35:53 and this is why you find groups like
0:35:56 black lives matter and so on and so
0:35:57 forth
0:35:58 so subhanallah because they are calling
0:36:01 for equality we are in the 21st century
0:36:05 people should be treated equally because
0:36:08 all of us
0:36:08 are the creation of allah whether you
0:36:11 are a man
0:36:12 or a woman
0:36:17 we should not be having this discussion
0:36:19 we are equal before allah all of us
0:36:21 should be respected
0:36:23 we should all be treated with dignity
0:36:25 and honor because we are all the
0:36:26 creation of allah subhanahu wa'ta'ala
0:36:29 we're created by allah we come from the
0:36:32 same father and the same mother
0:36:35 we are from the same father and the same
0:36:38 mother so we're
0:36:39 all brothers and sisters in humanity
0:36:43 subhanallah so 1500 he chose
0:36:47 an african man who used to be a slave
0:36:49 bilal
0:36:50 to go on top of the kaaba and call the
0:36:52 event
0:36:53 and to invite the believers to pray
0:36:56 subhanallah this something will blow you
0:36:58 away
0:37:00 a man and this is muslim a man came to
0:37:03 the prophet saw i saw him to accept
0:37:05 islam so he said
0:37:06 i acknowledge that you are the prophet
0:37:08 of allah i believe the islam is the
0:37:10 truth
0:37:12 and i accept you as the prophet and the
0:37:14 quran is from allah but i have one
0:37:16 condition
0:37:17 it's an authentic hadith and the prophet
0:37:19 saws said what is your condition
0:37:21 and he said i'm going to pray only twice
0:37:24 a day not
0:37:24 five so the problem
0:37:29 said no problem then after the man left
0:37:32 the prophet saw him said when his eman
0:37:35 goes up
0:37:36 [Music]
0:37:39 he's going
0:37:44 pray not only five times a day he's
0:37:48 who accepted islam on condition that
0:37:52 that he was going to only pray twice a
0:37:54 day that he pray he started to pray five
0:37:56 times and he was praying option of salah
0:37:58 and he was praying
0:37:59 at night now subhanallah that was
0:38:02 condition that was fulfilled by the
0:38:04 prophet saws
0:38:05 there was another request another
0:38:07 condition
0:38:08 that was turned down the pagans
0:38:11 of mecca the elite
0:38:15 like abu jahl abu lahab
0:38:19 they came to abu talib in mecca when the
0:38:21 prophet saws was desperate
0:38:23 when he was under persecution and he was
0:38:26 desperate for
0:38:27 new converts and believers so these
0:38:30 people came
0:38:31 and they said to abu talib we are
0:38:33 willing to accept islam but we have one
0:38:35 condition
0:38:36 okay what is it
0:38:45 what is it and abu talib was very
0:38:47 excited and he was muhammad salla
0:38:49 is willing to kick out people like bilal
0:38:51 the slave this black man if if he is
0:38:53 willing to kick him out
0:38:55 if he's willing to kick out ahmadinear
0:38:58 these poor and slaves and
0:39:00 these people the lonely people in
0:39:02 society if he's willing to kick them out
0:39:04 so they shouldn't sit with us we would
0:39:06 be willing to accept islam
0:39:08 and the prophet saw sallam told his
0:39:09 uncle abu talib
0:39:11 sorry we don't need them we don't need
0:39:14 racists
0:39:15 if they want to accept islam
0:39:16 alhamdulillah but if they want to be
0:39:18 racist
0:39:19 if they want me to kick out the
0:39:20 believers the
0:39:22 africans the blacks the slaves if they
0:39:24 want me to kick them out
0:39:26 sorry we don't need that don't need
0:39:28 racists
0:39:29 in our ranks but he he was willing to
0:39:33 accept someone
0:39:34 who wanted to pray only twice a day
0:39:36 somehow this is very deep
0:39:37 think about it the prophet saws forgave
0:39:40 the people who gave him a hard time
0:39:42 and the people who persecuted him as i
0:39:44 mentioned at the beginning he issued
0:39:46 public amnesty when he took over
0:39:47 makkah and subhanallah he forgave
0:39:50 individuals who made mistakes because
0:39:53 they didn't know any better we know the
0:39:55 hadith in
0:39:55 muslim when this man urinated in the
0:39:58 mosque it was a bedouin
0:40:00 he urinated in the mosque and when the
0:40:03 sahaba they wanted to jump over this man
0:40:05 who
0:40:05 who urinated in the mosque and the
0:40:07 prophet saws
0:40:08 called out and he said let us remove let
0:40:11 him finish
0:40:12 and after the man finished the prophet
0:40:14 saw him told someone to bring a bucket
0:40:15 of woven and put it pour it on the
0:40:18 urine and and he called the men and he
0:40:20 said brother
0:40:21 this mosque is for prayer is for namaz
0:40:23 for salah
0:40:24 it is not for urination and he was very
0:40:27 nice to him and the man was so moved he
0:40:29 was so
0:40:29 touched by the prophet saws in another
0:40:32 narration
0:40:33 this man he was moved and he said ya
0:40:35 allah bless
0:40:36 me and give me jannah and muhammad but
0:40:39 don't give janna to any one of these
0:40:41 people right here
0:40:42 so the prophet saws smiled and he said
0:40:45 you are trying to limit the mercy of
0:40:47 allah all of us are going to jannah
0:40:48 inshallah
0:40:50 there's also this story of abu mahadura
0:40:53 20 seconds
0:40:54 uh this story is in muslim in annas
0:40:59 this is an amazing hadith subhanallah
0:41:02 he has another name awesome was not
0:41:06 muslim
0:41:07 he was a youth at the age of 15 or 16 he
0:41:10 was observing the muslim camp
0:41:12 and he made fun of adhan and the prophet
0:41:14 saws called out to abu mahdura
0:41:16 non-muslim
0:41:17 with his muslim friends youth who who
0:41:20 are making fun of adam
0:41:22 and the prophet saws call them out and
0:41:24 he said one of you
0:41:26 has an amazing voice and it turned out
0:41:28 that abu mahadura
0:41:30 be a had this amazing voice and the
0:41:33 prophet saw sallam
0:41:34 wiped over the head of abu mahara a
0:41:37 youth
0:41:38 16 years old and he said ya allah
0:41:41 guide him to islam and bless him and he
0:41:44 wiped over the head of abu mahadura he
0:41:46 took off his turban and he wiped over
0:41:48 his head
0:41:49 and on the spot abu mahadura accepted
0:41:52 islam
0:41:52 and the prophet saw assalam said is
0:41:56 now go you are the official of the haram
0:41:59 and he said ya rasoolallah there is one
0:42:01 small problem
0:42:02 i know how to make fun make fun of the
0:42:04 event but i don't know how to make
0:42:06 professional event and the prophet
0:42:07 sallam told him and then
0:42:09 and he taught him ikama the hanafi way
0:42:12 when you guys you know our hanover
0:42:14 brothers from india pakistan and turkey
0:42:16 afghanistan
0:42:17 they call the ecommerce everything twice
0:42:20 we learn it from
0:42:21 muslim from this hadith by abu mahadura
0:42:23 and this man abu mahadura he said
0:42:26 i loved the prophet saws because i made
0:42:29 a mistake
0:42:30 i was making fun of evan but the prophet
0:42:32 saw assalam is the best teacher
0:42:34 he called me and he was very nice to me
0:42:37 he made dua for me and this is why i was
0:42:40 moved
0:42:40 and i accepted islam and subhanallah
0:42:44 listen to this he said
0:42:47 i loved the prophet saws so much wallahi
0:42:51 i will never
0:42:52 shave the hair that has been touched and
0:42:55 wiped over
0:42:56 by the hand of the prophet sallam so
0:42:58 they say that his hair grew
0:43:00 all the way to his knees and he used to
0:43:03 wrap it around his turban
0:43:04 out of love for the prophet sasalam
0:43:06 again there's so much that we can say
0:43:09 about the prophet sallam as a human
0:43:10 being
0:43:11 as a role model so we you and i
0:43:14 can connect with him on a personal level
0:43:17 but our time is up i'm going to open the
0:43:19 floor
0:43:20 inshaallah for questions and answers i'm
0:43:21 going to conclude
0:43:23 with this line of poetry about the
0:43:25 prophet saws so many poems have been
0:43:27 written on him the buddha and others
0:43:29 but this line of poetry i love it i love
0:43:31 it so much
0:43:32 so this line of poetry sums up the life
0:43:35 of the prophet
0:43:36 as a role model as a human being
0:43:40 it says
0:43:41 [Music]
0:43:47 it says if you count the prophet sallam
0:43:51 as a human being like you and i this is
0:43:54 just like counting
0:43:56 precious stones a precious stone
0:43:59 as another stone so when you say that
0:44:03 this precious stone
0:44:04 this ruby or this gold is just a stone
0:44:08 this is just like saying that the
0:44:10 prophet saw is a human being like you
0:44:12 and i
0:44:12 so the prophet saw assalam was like a
0:44:15 precious
0:44:15 stone to the rest of the stones he is
0:44:17 the best of us
0:44:19 he is the finest human being that has
0:44:21 ever walked the face of this earth
0:44:23 and this is why we look up to him and we
0:44:26 revere him and we respect him
0:44:27 so we ask allah subhanahu wa ta'ala just
0:44:29 like we believed in the prophet saw
0:44:31 sallam without seeing him in this life
0:44:34 that he will gather us together in his
0:44:36 mercy and rahman akhra
0:44:37 and i'm going to leave you with this
0:44:39 basharat 20 seconds that the prophet
0:44:41 saws saw him in an authentic hadith
0:44:43 in a sitting with the sahaba and he said
0:44:48 that i miss my brothers and sisters and
0:44:51 the sahabah said ya rasulullah the
0:44:53 companion said
0:44:54 we are your brothers aren't we your
0:44:55 brothers and he said no you're my
0:44:57 companions
0:44:58 my brothers and sisters are people who
0:45:00 will come after me
0:45:02 and they will believe in me without
0:45:04 seeing me
0:45:05 so the sahaba the companion said ya
0:45:07 rasulallah how would you recognize them
0:45:09 on judgement day
0:45:10 he said in nahumi
0:45:16 they will come on judgement day with
0:45:19 light
0:45:20 noor on their faces from the trace of
0:45:22 the wudu when they make will do
0:45:24 ablutions
0:45:25 and they wash themselves before prayers
0:45:27 when they come on judgment day their
0:45:29 faces will be
0:45:30 shining they will be bright and i'll be
0:45:32 able to recognize them because of the
0:45:34 noor
0:45:35 on their faces so this is an amazing
0:45:37 bashara or good news for you and i
0:45:39 so i ask allah subhanahu with allah to
0:45:41 give us his shafa
0:45:42 and together is together with him and
0:45:44 janet and for those
0:45:47 and jazakallah for listening so now i'm
0:45:49 going to
0:45:50 open the floor for questions and answers
0:45:58 inshallah
0:46:02 any questions
0:46:19 any questions
0:46:30 so i hope inshallah if there are
0:46:31 questions that i'm going to receive them
0:46:33 insha allah
0:46:49 and you shared some beautiful examples
0:46:51 and brothers
0:46:53 is going to i think wrap things up for
0:46:54 us he's joined us oh he's not joining us
0:46:56 i thought he's going to join us but
0:46:57 um some the questions come through i
0:47:01 have a question for you and i'm sure
0:47:02 many people will probably ask this once
0:47:04 they watch the recording
0:47:05 uh on the internet later on on youtube
0:47:08 and that is
0:47:09 you know may allah bless you jazakallah
0:47:11 for sharing you know these beautiful
0:47:12 gems from the life of the prophet
0:47:13 sallam that we can you know uh you know
0:47:16 aspects of his life that we can aspire
0:47:18 you know towards uh copying and
0:47:21 embodying
0:47:22 but how could we learn what what would
0:47:24 you recommend as far as where can people
0:47:26 learn more about the prophet sallallahu
0:47:28 what sources would you recommend to them
0:47:30 you know books
0:47:31 lectures what would you recommend please
0:47:33 give us a reading list or some resources
0:47:35 in china
0:47:37 it's an amazing question so the two
0:47:40 major sources
0:47:41 are the quran because the quran talks
0:47:43 about the life of the prophet
0:47:45 and details of his life and of course in
0:47:48 the seerah the biographies of the
0:47:50 prophet sallam that were written about
0:47:52 him by ibn's and many others so
0:47:55 literally there are thousands of
0:47:57 biographies
0:47:58 that have been written on the life of
0:48:00 the prophet sallam in great details
0:48:03 of course collections of hadith serve
0:48:06 also
0:48:06 as resources on the life of the prophet
0:48:09 sallam bukhari and
0:48:11 muslim tirmidhi nasa abidawood
0:48:14 ibn khiban tabari and many others so
0:48:17 basically
0:48:18 you cannot love someone without knowing
0:48:21 about them
0:48:22 in arabi as a matter of fact we say that
0:48:25 insane
0:48:27 the human being is the enemy of the
0:48:29 unknown
0:48:30 so how can you love the prophet sallam
0:48:33 and how can you
0:48:34 follow his example and embody his sunnah
0:48:37 without knowing about him so basically
0:48:40 we need to learn about the prophet
0:48:42 from these reliable resources so you can
0:48:45 love him and
0:48:46 to follow his example uh i'm going to
0:48:49 conclude inshallah the answer with
0:48:51 with this point that some people would
0:48:53 say there's so much to learn about islam
0:48:55 there is islamic history there is
0:48:57 philosophy there is calligraphy
0:49:00 there is so much to learn about islam
0:49:02 the ulama say
0:49:04 there is one knowledge that you as a
0:49:08 muslim regardless of
0:49:09 your level of education whether you
0:49:11 don't know how to read or write
0:49:13 or whether you have a phd from oxford
0:49:16 there is
0:49:16 a far an obligatory knowledge that you
0:49:18 should have
0:49:19 and this knowledge is related to the
0:49:22 three questions we get in the grave
0:49:24 who is your lord who is your prophet
0:49:26 what's your faith
0:49:27 every single one of us will receive
0:49:29 these three questions
0:49:31 so the knowledge the far knowledge the
0:49:33 obligatory knowledge that you and i
0:49:34 should have in this world
0:49:36 is related to these three questions and
0:49:39 namely
0:49:41 who is your lord so you need to learn
0:49:42 about your lord allah subhanahu with
0:49:44 allah his beautiful names and attributes
0:49:46 and how to worship and serve him
0:49:48 number two who is your prophet you need
0:49:50 to learn about the prophet saw sallam
0:49:52 his manners his acts of worship
0:49:55 his luck and so on and so forth his life
0:50:00 and and how he led by example and
0:50:02 manners and so on and so forth
0:50:03 number three what's your faith and this
0:50:06 is basically summed up
0:50:07 in the knowledge of halal and what is
0:50:10 permissible and what is for
0:50:11 forbidden in islam so basically it's
0:50:14 part of your faith
0:50:15 to learn about allah subhanahu wa to
0:50:17 learn about the prophet
0:50:18 and following his example in his manners
0:50:21 and i hope this answers
0:50:25 one inshallah thing i wanted to ask you
0:50:27 um before we wrap up inshallah
0:50:29 is say there are some non-muslims that
0:50:31 have been following this series and
0:50:32 watched the past couple of videos
0:50:33 including
0:50:34 your stream now and say they want to now
0:50:37 you know find out a bit more about the
0:50:39 prophet sallam that you've given us some
0:50:41 amazing resources for muslims to go and
0:50:43 and study
0:50:44 but anything very basic that you
0:50:45 recommend for non-muslims just
0:50:47 starting out you know to get a grip on
0:50:50 who the prophet was and to learn about
0:50:51 his life
0:50:53 so for non-muslims as i said
0:50:57 there is a lot of misinformation in the
0:51:00 in in the news and so on and so forth so
0:51:03 we need to find
0:51:04 uh reliable resources to to learn about
0:51:07 this great man well
0:51:09 you deserve to learn about this man and
0:51:11 connect
0:51:12 with him on a personal level so for
0:51:14 example as i mentioned we have
0:51:16 biographies written on him
0:51:18 of course the famous one the sealed
0:51:20 nectar
0:51:21 there are other biographies written on
0:51:23 him by
0:51:25 muslims and non-muslims so from the
0:51:27 non-muslim
0:51:28 side for example there is one by karen
0:51:31 armastrong
0:51:32 she has written an amazing seerah on the
0:51:33 life of the prophet saws and
0:51:36 so if you like movies for example i
0:51:39 recommend
0:51:40 the message by anthony quinn because
0:51:41 some people are visual they like to
0:51:43 see things and so basically there are
0:51:46 many resources out there
0:51:48 we have the booklet on onereason.org
0:51:51 on the life of the prophet saw assalam
0:51:54 uh so basically there are many
0:51:55 uh resources out there but make sure
0:51:57 that they are reliable
0:51:59 and believe me if you study the life of
0:52:01 the prophet saws
0:52:02 you can learn so much from him on a
0:52:05 personal level
0:52:06 as a human being in good times in
0:52:09 difficult times
0:52:10 as a husband as a father as a teacher as
0:52:13 a human being
0:52:14 and we learn from the prophet saws you
0:52:16 cannot
0:52:17 be a good muslim until you become a good
0:52:20 human being
0:52:22 subhanallah this is very deep and very
0:52:24 profound
0:52:25 so the prophet saws in an authentic
0:52:28 narration
0:52:29 in namab i have been sent
0:52:33 to perfect good manners so good manners
0:52:36 exist
0:52:37 many non-muslims they have they have
0:52:39 good manners
0:52:40 but the prophet saws and islam came to
0:52:43 perfect
0:52:44 these good manners so it doesn't matter
0:52:47 of what your job is what your social
0:52:50 status is
0:52:51 what your educational level is all of us
0:52:53 can learn from the prophet saw
0:52:55 this man who lived in the desert 1500
0:52:58 years ago with no academic training
0:53:01 all people in the world including
0:53:03 muslims and non-muslims
0:53:05 who have phds who have the highest
