Key Lessons
Inevitability of Demise: Prophet Muhammad (Sallallahu alayhi wasallam) reminded his companions that no human or Prophet lives forever in this worldly life.True Prophetic Leadership: Despite suffering from severe illness and fever, the Prophet (Sallallahu alayhi wasallam) prioritized the emotional well-being and guidance of his Ummah over his own comfort.Honoring the Predecessors: The Ummah is commanded to show immense kindness and gratitude to both the early Muhajirun and the Ansar for their unprecedented sacrifices.Meeting at Hawd al-Kawthar: The Prophet (Sallallahu alayhi wasallam) comforted the Sahaba by giving them the venue of their future reunion at the Pond of Kawthar.Warning Against Innovation: Those who introduce innovations (bid'ah) into the religion after the Prophet (Sallallahu alayhi wasallam) risk being turned away from Hawd al-Kawthar.

— Assalamu alaikum wa rahmatullahi wa barakatuh. 0:13 We are discussing the last khutbah that Nabiya Kareem sallallahu alayhi wasallam had delivered in his Mubarak life. 0:21 So we had discussed the point yesterday. 0:23 Nabiya Kareem sallallahu alayhi wasallam cleared up his appointing Hazrat Usama radiallahu ta'ala as the ameer of that army. 0:34 Then also Nabiya Kareem sallallahu alayhi wasallam cautioned the ummah not to turn his Qabar Mubarak, Rola Mubarak, 0:43 Into a place of worship. 0:45 Place of prostration. 0:46 Start committing shirk etc. 0:48 there. 0:49 As other ummahs had done. 0:55 Nabi Akrim sallallahu alayhi wasallam. 1:00 Then mentioned to the Sahaba radiallahu ta'ala hum. 1:04 That O people. 1:06 The news has reached me that you have become fearful of the demise of your Prophet. 1:14 You are afraid now. 1:14 Obviously they could see the health of Nabiya Kareem Sallallahu alayhi wasallam is deteriorating. 1:20 Nabiya Kareem Sallallahu alayhi wasallam is getting weaker day by day. 1:24 And more is something that is inevitable. 1:28 So Nabi al-Karim sallallahu alayhi wasallam is addressing them. 1:32 He says that this news has reached me that you are becoming fearful of the demise of your Prophet sallallahu alayhi wasallam. 1:40 Then Nabi sallallahu alayhi wasallam, now to explain to them, he asked them, he says, has any Prophet before me remained forever with his people? 1:51 In other words, how can I now remain forever with you? 1:56 I can't remain forever with you. 1:57 Every person that came, every Nabi that came also, had to leave his ummah and go. 2:03 Like this, I too cannot stay forever. 2:05 I too will have to leave my ummah and go. 2:11 Allah Ta'ala says, وَمَا جَعَلْنَا لِبَشَرٍ مِّنْ قَبْلِكَ الْخُلْدِ 2:18 We did not allow any human before you to remain till eternity. 2:25 Then Nabi Karim sallallahu alayhi wasallam also recited the other ayat. 2:30 Wa ma Muhammadun illa Rasul. 2:32 Qad khalat min qablihi Rasul. 2:35 That Muhammad sallallahu alayhi wasallam is but a messenger. 2:41 And messengers before him also passed away. 2:45 See, there is something for us to learn here. 2:48 I always mention this, that when we are discussing this seerah of Nabiya Kareem sallallahu alayhi wasallam, or for that matter, the life of sahaba radi na'num or any of our aqamineen or whatever, 3:02 We must always take lessons. 3:04 Take lessons. 3:05 One is to just read it as a storybook, get emotional. 3:08 I mean, this is a very, very emotional part of this seerah. 3:12 Right? 3:13 But what is important is to take the lessons from the seerah and apply it into our lives. 3:20 Right? 3:22 I mean, this lesson was taught to the Sahaba over and over that nobody is going to live forever. 3:32 Nobody is going to live forever. 3:34 They read it in the Quran Sharif. 3:38 But Nabi Akarim sallallahu alayhi wasallam, when this news reaches him, that this is the fear now that the Sahaba radiallahu anhum have, then he doesn't go and shout them. 3:53 He doesn't go and shout them now. 3:55 What's wrong with you? 3:56 Don't you know nobody can stay here forever? 4:01 See how he is addressing the situation with them. 4:05 He is understanding the human element in each person. 4:10 He is understanding how much of love they have for him. 4:14 How they must be feeling. 4:17 So he is preparing them. 4:19 He is talking to them. 4:20 He is preparing them. 4:22 This is one lesson that we learn. 4:24 So many times we fail when it comes to this. 4:28 Right? 4:29 Sometime maybe with our wives. 4:31 Sometime with our children. 4:32 Whatever. 4:33 We become impatient. 4:34 We become upset. 4:35 That. 4:38 Don't you know. 4:40 Supposed to be like that. 4:41 Whatever. 4:42 We lose our cool. 4:44 So this is a fault on our part. 4:47 Look at Nabi Aqarim sallallahu alayhi wa sallam. 4:48 He is not addressing the Sahaba. 4:51 Like that. 4:52 He is addressing them very very lovingly. 4:54 Softly. 4:55 Like little children, he's talking to them. 4:59 That's one. 5:00 The other lesson we take from here, who is passing away? 5:06 Hmm? 5:10 Nabi al-Karim sallallahu alayhi wasallam is the one who is in the sickness, the illness. 5:16 He is the one who is in fever. 5:18 He is the one who is weak. 5:21 He is the one now who is reaching the end of his Mubarak life. 5:27 But his concern is still for the people. 5:33 His concern is for the people. 5:37 We must just have one headache. 5:40 One little headache we must have. 5:42 Come home Saturday afternoon. 5:43 My head is paining. 5:45 We take all the children. 5:47 Go that side. 5:48 No noise. 5:49 Close the door. 5:50 I need to sleep now. 5:56 Nabi Karim sallallahu alayhi wasallam is putting all his pain aside. 6:01 All his weakness aside. 6:03 His fever aside. 6:05 He is not worried about himself. 6:08 He is not turning the focus and the attention to him. 6:14 He is concerned about them. 6:17 This is a true leader. 6:19 Talk about leadership qualities. 6:20 This is a leader. 6:26 The leader is always concerned about the people, the subjects. 6:31 He is not worried about his own self. 6:36 Each one of us, we are leaders. 6:38 In our home, amongst our family, we are leaders. 6:41 We are in a leadership position. 6:44 But ask ourselves, 6:48 Ask ourselves that how much of riayat do we make of the rest of the family and how much riayat we expect them to make of us. 7:02 Just think the same wife that we get so upset with. 7:09 When we plan on going somewhere for a couple of days, or you're going on some suffer, some journey or something, she will pack her things, pack the children's things, pack the food to eat on the road. 7:24 If there's something to be had over there, plus you're going to your mother's house, she can't go empty-handed. 7:30 She baked something and cooked something to take there also. 7:33 Hmm? 7:37 And our things also sometimes they have to pack. 7:42 And then if they are five minutes late. 7:43 You know, I told you all now. 7:47 We'll be ready by this time. 7:48 So much of delay here. 7:49 You know, traffic just now. 7:52 I'm working the whole day and now I'm still driving. 7:55 The whole focus is about ourselves. 7:58 Ananiyat. 8:00 Ana. 8:01 I. 8:02 Everything is about me. 8:05 Look at Nabi Akarim sallallahu alayhi wasallam at a time in his Mubarak life where physically he is very weak. 8:13 Very very weak. 8:15 He is ill. 8:15 He has got fever. 8:16 I mean to understand the illness of Nabi Akarim sallallahu alayhi wasallam was so severe that he wasn't coming to read namaz. 8:26 He wasn't coming to perform salah. 8:28 So you can imagine from there how weak he was. 8:34 The wife sometimes is sick. 8:37 Wife is ill. She is not well. 8:39 But she will continue doing all her duties. 8:45 Continue doing whatever she needs to do. 8:49 We are not well. 8:53 We are not well. 8:57 And wives, Allah Ta'ala has given them such sifat. 9:02 If both husband and wife are not well, same time, she will forget her sickness. 9:09 She will forget her illness and she will want to make khidmat of her husband. 9:15 But on little, little mistakes, little, little errors, how upset we become. 9:23 We can't be patient. 9:27 So we must be considerate. 9:31 Must take all these things into consideration. 9:34 They may be having certain... Everybody has got their weaknesses. 9:38 We too have got our weaknesses. 9:40 Everybody has got their shortcomings. 9:43 Overlook the shortcomings because the good far outweighs the few shortcomings. 9:49 Our problem is we only focus on the shortcomings. 9:54 We will focus on the shortcomings. 9:58 This is a great lesson we can take from Nabi Karim sallallahu alayhi wasallam. 10:02 In what a condition that he is worried about the hearts of the Ummah. 10:11 And Nabi Karim sallallahu alayhi wasallam says to them that, Listen, I will have to meet Allah Ta'ala. 10:18 I will have to meet Allah Ta'ala. 10:21 And you too will also have to meet Allah Ta'ala. 10:25 You too will also have to meet Allah Ta'ala. 10:29 I advise all the Muslims to treat the early muhajirun with kindness. 10:37 Earlier on in the khutbah, Nabi Karim sallallahu alayhi wasallam told the muhajirun that you are going to now be in the majority. 10:44 Ansar are going to be in the minority. 10:47 Make sure you are kind towards them. 10:48 Because they are the ones who gave me refuge. 10:52 Now Nabi Karim sallallahu alayhi wasallam is... 10:57 Mentioning to all the sahaba radiallahu anhum that the early muhajirun treat them with kindness. 11:04 Because wallahi we are all indebted to them. 11:08 So early muhajirun what they went through. 11:12 How they stuck by Nabi Karim sallallahu alayhi wasallam and stood by Allah's deen. 11:17 At a time when you know they say the chips are down. 11:23 All odds were stacked against them. 11:26 All odds were stacked against them. 11:30 But they stood firm. 11:31 They stood by Nabi Karim sallallahu alayhi wasallam. 11:34 You know. 11:35 Wallahi sahaba's iman we can never... 11:39 The iman they had is something else. 11:42 Imagine at a time. 11:44 At a time. 11:46 They are digging a trench. 11:49 They are digging a trench. 11:50 It's cold. 11:51 They don't have enough clothing to cover their bodies. 11:55 They don't have food in their bellies. 11:58 They are tying stones to their stomach. 12:01 Nabi Akrim sallallahu alayhi wasallam got two stones tied to his Mubarak stomach. 12:06 In that condition, Nabi Akrim sallallahu alayhi wasallam is telling them that I see the keys to the Roman treasures being handed to you. 12:17 I see the palaces of the Persians being handed to you. 12:22 Not one Sahabi objected 12:26 See, this is sexually in which are. 12:31 What is this? 12:33 We sitting here no clothes, no food in the stomach. 12:36 Talking about treasures of the Roman empires and the palaces of the Persian empires. 12:40 Where is that going to come? 12:43 If we just get one hot meal to eat here, that will be sufficient. 12:49 Not one of them. 12:50 They had full iman. 12:52 Full yaqeen. 12:53 That what Nabi Karim sallallahu alayhi wasallam is saying is true. 13:01 Compare their iman to our iman. 13:06 At a time when there is nothing. 13:08 And they are being promised things that seem so far-fetched. 13:13 But they believe it. 13:14 Full iman. 13:15 Full yaqeen. 13:17 We are being told, read your five time namaz. 13:19 Allah will take care of our rozi. 13:22 We can't make amal on that one little thing. 13:24 Wood food in our stomach and motor cars and clothing and comfortable homes and everything. 13:34 So, the iman was something else. 13:37 The iman was something else. 13:39 The yateen, iman and yateen of sahaba radnanum, it was on another level altogether. 13:47 Jesus and Nabi Karim sallallahu alayhi wasallam says that treat these muhajirun with kindness. 13:54 Early muhajirun. 13:56 And I advise the early muhajirun to remain steadfast on the fear of Allah and on good deeds. 14:07 Remain with the fear of Allah Ta'ala and remain firm upon naik amal. 14:14 Then Nabi al-Kareem sallallahu alayhi wasallam recited Surah Al-Asr. 14:21 Wal-Asr. 14:22 Inna al-insana lafee khusr. 14:26 By the oath of time. 14:27 Allah takes oath on time. 14:31 Undoubtedly man is at a loss. 14:35 Mankind is at a loss. 14:38 Accept those who have brought Iman. 14:41 They practice good deeds. 14:43 And they advise one another with the truth. 14:47 And they advise one another to exercise sabr, to exercise patience. 14:51 Now there is a lot of tafsir that goes into this surah. 14:55 You know, going into the tafsir. 14:58 Nabi Akalim sallallahu alayhi wasallam then said, O Muslims, I advise you to treat the Ansar well. 15:06 Andward kindness. 15:08 Again, Nabiya Khalifatullah is reiterating this. 15:12 They are the ones who gave refuge to Islam and Iman. 15:17 They made you partners in their homes, in their lands, in their orchards, their fruits. 15:28 This was really something amazing to see. 15:33 Alhamdulillah. 15:34 Alhamdulillah. 15:40 You see conquerors and what you call them, settlers and no other words you have for them. 15:54 They come to a country. 15:57 They come to a country and they see how they can steal from them. 16:08 And sometime they become so comfortable in that country that their very people who allowed them entry into the country, they enslave those very people. 16:21 If somebody else's country, they came in somebody else's country. 16:28 They invaded. 16:31 And they looted. 16:32 If that wasn't enough, they enslaved the people of the country also. 16:39 They came and made our country, you know. 16:42 Changed the language of the country, changed everything. 16:45 Our country this became. 16:46 Hmm? 16:51 The Muhajirun, they came to Madinah Manwara. 16:56 The Ansar opened their homes to them. 17:00 They opened their homes to them. 17:02 They made them partners in their businesses. 17:04 They made them partners in their orchards. 17:06 Everything. 17:07 They embraced them. 17:10 But we don't find this type of situation taking place. 17:13 That now the Muhajirun are in bigger numbers. 17:16 So now they just take advantage over the Ansar. 17:21 Nabi al-Karim sallallahu alayhi wasallam is cautioning them. 17:23 He said that these Ansar, they opened their homes to you. 17:28 They gave you a place. 17:29 They gave refuge to Islam. 17:31 They gave refuge to Iman. 17:34 They gave preference to you over themselves. 17:39 Despite them being in need. 17:41 They themselves had a need. 17:43 But they gave preference to you over their own need. 17:47 Nabi Karim Sallallahu alayhi wasallam decided that Ayat-e-Karimah which was revealed when those Sahaba, you know, Nabi Sallallahu alayhi wasallam had a guest. 17:57 He had nothing to feed. 17:58 He said, who will feed this guest on my behalf? 18:04 So one Sahabi said, I will feed. 18:07 So he goes home. 18:08 Wife never had any food besides delivered food which was just enough to feed children. 18:15 So he said, no, what you do is you lull the children off to sleep, serve the food and put the lamp off. 18:23 I'll pretend like I'm eating and he will eat at least his stomach will get full. 18:28 He's a guest of Nabi sallallahu alayhi wa sallam. 18:32 Next morning, Nabi sallallahu alayhi wa sallam receives ayat. 18:36 يؤثرون على أنفسهم ولو كان بهم خصاصة 18:41 They give preference to others over themselves. 18:45 Even though they are in dire circumstances themselves. 18:53 Then Nabiya Kareem Sallallahu alayhi wasallam says to the Sahaba. 18:58 He says, listen. 19:01 I am leaving before you. 19:04 I am leaving before you. 19:05 That's all that's happening. 19:07 We are not parting now forever and ever. 19:10 Shia is consoling them. 19:12 He's consoling them already. 19:13 He said, look, it's just that I'm leaving first. 19:16 Say, for example, now we're all going, if Allah Ta'ala makes it, we're all going for Umrah. 19:22 Now somebody's flight is leaving today. 19:25 Somebody's flight is leaving tomorrow. 19:27 Somebody's flight is leaving next week. 19:29 But we're all going to meet there. 19:31 He said, oh, no worry. 19:33 We'll meet there. 19:34 See you there, inshaAllah. 19:36 So like this, Nabi Karim sallallahu alayhi wasallam is telling the Sahaba, radiallahu anhum, don't be so grieved. 19:44 He just said, I am going before you. 19:45 I am going before you. 19:48 And you will also meet me. 19:50 You will come there. 19:51 We will meet again. 19:52 I am undertaking the journey before you. 19:56 Just now you will also come. 19:57 We will meet again. 20:00 Nabi al-Karim sallallahu alayhi wasallam didn't just tell them we'll meet. 20:04 He gave them the venue also. 20:08 He gave them the venue also. 20:10 He didn't just say alright we'll meet. 20:12 You know. 20:12 He said we'll meet. 20:15 In the back of your mind you think if Pharaoh don't find me it'll be better. 20:19 If he doesn't find me sometime you know. 20:25 But you need anything. 20:26 Just let me know. 20:28 He's not giving his phone number, nothing. 20:30 How are you going to let him know? 20:33 No contact details, nothing. 20:35 How are you going to let him know? 20:39 Nabiya Kareem sallallahu alayhi wasallam is telling his sahaba, radiallahu anhum, he says that I am going before you and we will meet over there. 20:48 And then he gave him the venue also. 20:51 He says, our meeting place is 20:55 Will be the Hawza Qawthar. 20:57 This will be our meeting place. 21:00 We will meet at Hawza Qawthar. 21:04 Sahaba radiallahu anhum are so fortunate. 21:09 They are so fortunate that they already knew they were going to meet Nabi sallallahu alayhi wa sallam at Hawza Qawthar. 21:17 We don't know what is going to be our condition. 21:21 We don't know what is going to be our condition. 21:26 Here is one rivayat. 21:26 It says certain people, they will be coming towards the holy kosher. 21:36 And malaika will come and they will put a barrier. 21:42 They won't allow for them to come close to the huza kufr. 21:48 They'll come put a barrier. 21:51 And Nabi Karim sallallahu alayhi wasallam himself will address them and say, What is wrong with you? 21:59 These are my ummatis. 22:00 They're from my ummat. 22:03 Why are you putting a barrier? 22:05 Why are you not allowing them to come? 22:07 Remove the barrier at them. 22:09 Come there from my ummah. 22:10 They are coming to meet here at Holder Courser. 22:14 Then it will be said to Nabiya Kareem Sallallahu alayhi wasallam. 22:18 You don't know what he did after you passed away. 22:22 After you left the dunya, these people that came later on, you don't know what they were doing. 22:28 What they did with the deen. 22:30 What were innovations they brought in the deen. 22:33 Hmm? 22:35 When Nabi At-Tareem Sallallahu alayhi wasallam would hear this, then he himself he would say, Suhqan. 22:41 Suhqan. 22:42 Let them be far. 22:43 Let them be far. 22:43 If they did all those things, then take them away from here. 22:47 Don't let them come. 22:56 So we don't know what is going to be our hanat. 22:58 This is why be very careful in life. 23:03 Stay away from grey areas. 23:05 Life is short. 23:07 Grey areas, stay away from it. 23:12 I mention this to you all, all the time. 23:15 Over and over again. 23:17 Many, many things that were totally forbidden. 23:22 Now, how all of a sudden they become impermissible? 23:26 Things were totally forbidden. 23:28 Unanimous. 23:29 Everybody agreed it's forbidden. 23:31 Now how is it becoming permissible now? 23:35 There is no new deen. 23:36 There is no new Quran came, new Hadith. 23:38 Nothing is the same. 23:40 So everything that was forbidden, how can it become permissible now? 23:48 So we are not going to dispute. 23:49 We are ignorant people. 23:50 We can't dispute. 23:52 Muftis and all, they know what they are doing. 23:55 But caution would demand that we remain 23:58 On the side of precaution. 24:02 Rather stay away. 24:03 Gray area, stay away. 24:06 And if something is not proven, not proven from the life of Nabi al-Karim sallallahu alayhi wasallam, from the Sahaba radiallahu ta'alan wa majma'een, the pious predecessors, stay away from it. 24:23 Don't get involved in it. 24:26 Things that they never did, don't get involved. 24:30 Lal Kitab stories are plenty. 24:33 Lal Kitab stories are plenty. 24:36 Stay away from it. 24:38 Don't get involved in these things. 24:40 Funny, funny things. 24:43 And this other major problem is these Tawiz Walas. 24:49 Tawiz Walas, watch out for them. 24:51 Hmm? 24:53 Sometime, some of them, they are really like bordering on shirk, if not shirk. 25:03 They're taking people, going to the graveyard and doing things. 25:07 Where did we hear of things like this? 25:09 Where did we hear of things like this? 25:15 Showing people rabbits running past. 25:18 What? 25:19 What? 25:19 Funny, funny. 25:20 Ajeeb, ajeeb thing. 25:26 Al-Baqarah. 25:26 We've got our kurs. 25:29 We've got our ayatul kursi. 25:31 Whatever. 25:32 Suffice for that. 25:33 It is sufficient. 25:36 We don't need anything more. 25:41 Jee. 25:41 So this was the last thing that Nabiya Kareem Sallallahu alayhi wasallam mentioned that look I am going before you. 25:48 You will meet. 25:49 And our meeting place will be the Hauza Kausar. 25:54 Nabiya Kareem Sallallahu alayhi wasallam then got off the pulpit and went away to his room. 26:01 This was the last time that Nabiya Kareem Sallallahu alayhi wasallam ascended that pulpit and addressed the Sahaba. 26:09 Last khutbah 26:11 Of Nabiya Kareem sallallahu alayhi wa sallam. 26:13 Mubarak life.
Avoid Grey Areas and Innovations: Adhere strictly to verified Sunnah practices and refrain from dubious spiritual practices, unproven rituals, or superstitious practitioners (tawiz walas).
Rely on Authentic Adhkar: For protection and blessings, suffice oneself with authentic Quranic recitations such as Ayatul Kursi, Surah Al-Baqarah, and the Mu'awwidhatayn.
