Do We Really Love Prophet Muhammad (May Peace & Blessings be upon him)?

My Muslim brothers we should take that path upon which Our beloved Prophet Muhammad (May Peace & Blessing be upon him) went down. After Allah (s.w.t), The most favors done for us were by our beloved Prophet Muhammad (May Peace & Blessing be upon him). It is in his nature to be like this. Gather all the cries of the Ummah (people) and still the cries of our Prophet (May Peace & Blessing be upon him) will exceed them. Gather all their moments of worry and concern and still the worry and concern of our Prophet (May Peace & Blessing be upon him) will exceed them. No other Prophet’s chest ever filled with worry and concern like the way Prophet Muhammad’s (May Peace & Blessing be upon him) chest overflowed with worry and concern. He (May Peace & Blessing be upon him) trembled and shivered with worry and concern. Prophet (May Peace & Blessing be upon him) cried so much that the Angel Gabriel (A.S) would have to descend and Allah (s.w.t) would say: “O My Messenger Do Not Cry Much, Do Not Cry too Much”

[Narration from Sahih Al-Muslim]

During the nights in Medina only if we could go to the past and see those nights how much Our Prophet (May Peace & Blessing be upon him) used to cry and worry. The way He (May Peace & Blessing be upon him) tied rocks around his stomach to reduce hunger. If only we could see this, The one who was offered high quality clothing but he preferred to wear patched up clothing the one who was offered food of Jannah (heavens), but he (May Peace & Blessing be upon him) still preferred to go on three days without a bite of food. We can’t even stand up due to the effects of Fasting (Ramadan). We can’t even stand for long while fasting yet we don’t realize what our beloved Prophet (May Peace & Blessing be upon him) went through when he (May Peace & Blessing be upon him) didn’t eat for three odd days. The one who was asked by Allah (s.w.t) to ‘Just say Yes! Just say Yes! And I will Lay out a Tablecloth full of food from Jannah (heavens) You just say Yes at least once! And I will make the mountain of Uhud into gold for you! Just point me out once And I will make the Arabian mountains into gold, silver, emeralds and sapphire and present them to you, sacrifice them to you, And still in the afterlife it will not reduce anything from you, it will not reduce anything from you” and after this Our Beloved Prophet (May Peace & Blessing be upon him) said: ‘No No! No No! No No! I accept this hunger but when will my Ummat (people) be well off? I accept living in a tent but when will my ummah be living in palaces? I accept travelling on a donkey but when will my ummah travel luxuriously? I accept eating plain food but when will my ummah eat complete dinners? And today I appreciate what I got for three odd days He (May Peace & Blessing be upon him) didn’t eat food. Signs were given to ask! But no. One day passed , second day passed third day passed it’s the fourth day when Prophet (May Peace & Blessing be upon him)  went to a field and picked up Expired dates and ate them, Abdullah Ibn Umar was with him, Prophet (May Peace & Blessing be upon him)  said “ Abdullah aren’t you eating?” he replied “O Messenger of Allah, I am not hungry”. Prophet (May Peace & Blessing be upon him)  said: “Abdullah I am hungry Today is the fourth day I haven’t eaten anything”.

My Muslim brothers this is The Prophet (May Peace & Blessing be upon him) whose Sunnah your slaughtering (destroying) today, shaving off your beard and going to pray Jummah (the friday prayer)? Coming to pray Jummah with an exposed head (without a cap)? Prophet (May Peace & Blessing be upon him) never ever go on a day in his life with exposing his head. Only in Ihraam (during Hajj and Umrah) His head was exposed and lead prayer in this manner. So what harm could possibly come to you if you put a cap on your head? What will happen to you if you raise your trousers above your ankles? Your trousers are dragging below your feet if you just raise them up a little it will bring coolness to the eyes of Our Prophet (May Peace & Blessing be upon him).  

You have welcomed the oppressors and made your tongue impure (lying). How much are you applying the Sunnah of The Beloved Prophet (May Peace & Blessing be upon him) into your life? You can at least wear the clothing as prescribed by Prophet (May Peace & Blessing be upon him) but instead you wear Western clothing and go to Jummah (Friday prayer) like that. Didn’t your Prophet (May Peace & Blessing be upon him) have any clothing for you to emulate? Didn’t He (May Peace & Blessing be upon him) have any culture which we can emulate? Are you attacking his sunnah and looking for faults? If you are looking for faults then look for faults in the western culture. Have you realized who you have attacked? The one who already sacrificed everything for his ummah (people). 

Upon one occasion it is said that once a man was going to murder his mother as his lover told him that if he brings his mother’s heart to her then she will marry him. The delinquent cut open his mother and removed her heart and as he was going back he tripped over and his mother’s heart spoke out with love saying “Oh My Son Are You Okay?” The voice came from the heart saying “Oh my son I hope you’re okay!” and Our Prophet (May Peace & Blessing be upon him)  was more loving than these mothers even. What have we done on the other hand? We’ve put his sunnah to the sword. If you follow the sunnah clothing what will happen? Will your status within society decline?. My Muslim brothers at least recognize who are your friends and who are you enemies, at least identify those who are trustworthy and those who are unjust.

On the plane of resurrection the hell fire will be screaming roaring. Big Angels will fall onto the ground. Humans, Jinns, Awliya, Mukarabeen, Mujjahideen, Shuhada, Ulema , Maffusireen Bang! They are all falling to the ground and according to hadith it is stated that “A man will have Amaal (deeds) equivalent to 70 Prophets”, But even he will say I am not safe today. All the Prophets will say “Nafsee Nafsee”, they will worry about themselves. Hazrat Adam (A.S) will say “Nafsee Nafsee” (“O Allah Today, I need Saving I am not interceding for anyone else”), Hazrat Ibrahim (A.S) will say “O Allah for the sake of our friendship save me today I am not interceding for anyone else”, Hazrat Musa (A.S) will say “O Allah, save me today I am not interceding for anyone else”, and the same will be the case with all others Hazrat Yusuf, Yaqoob, Ishaq, Ibrahim , Ismail (A.S) they all will say: “O Allah Nafsee Nafsee! Save us! We aren’t interceding for anyone”, Hazrat Isa (A.S) will say “O Allah, O Allah, O Allah, I’m not even interceding my mother Mariyam just save me! Just save me!”. Mothers, fathers, wives, children all will say “O Allah save me” throughout the whole plane of resurrection there will be only ‘One Noble Man’  and we all know who that man will be He’s Prophet Muhammad (May Peace & Blessing be upon him) whose arms are open and hands are raised and he isn’t saying ‘Nafsee Nafsee’ but instead He (May Peace & Blessing be upon him) is saying: “O Allah My Ummah (people), O Allah My Ummah (people), O Allah My Ummah (people)”. 

We should at least have some sense of realization. Have we become lower than dogs? Feed a dog once and he has full trust for you from that day onwards. Is there anyone amongst us who can return the favors for Prophet (May Peace & Blessing be upon him)?. Only Allah (s.w.t) can reward him we haven’t got anything to offer him (May Peace & Blessing be upon him) we have hurt his feelings, we have put his soul in unrest. So my brothers repent today and make the intention to adopt the Holy, pure, blessed, complete, and bright way of life of Hazrat Muhammad (May Peace & Blessing be upon him). 

When our coffins are carried we’ll be buried and the people will return and then it will be as though we didn’t ever exist.
