Bismi Llāhi r-Raḥmāni r-Raḥīm:

(Qur’ān 33:21). ‘Laqad Kāna Lakum Fī Rasūli Llāhi ‘Uswatun Hasana’, ‘There has certainly been for you in the Messenger of Allah an excellent example.’ Sadaqa Llāhu l-‘Aẓīm.

Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla says that the best example for you that you must follow is Prophet salla Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam. He ﷺ is showing the way of Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla for happiness, for every good thing. Prophet salla Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam is showing this. Who follows him ﷺ will be safe from every bad thing, and he will be happy here and hereafter. Because happiness is only with the love of Allah ﷻ and love of Prophet ﷺ.

AlhamduliLlah our, all Sufi Tariqah are following, as much as they can, because we cannot follow a hundred percent. But we love Prophet salla Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam. And what he ﷺ did, we try to do the same. And this is called “Sunnah”. What Prophet salla Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam did is “Sunnah”.

And when you do the Sunnah, especially in this time we are living in: the worst time for human beings since Adam ‘alayhi s-salam, Allah ﷻ rewards you ‘Ajr (reward of) Shaheed, ten Shaheed, a hundred Shaheed even. Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla rewards you. This is the benefit of following Prophet salla Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam. And he ﷺ will be happy with you, happy with us insha’Allah when we are trying to do.

Of course, as we said, you cannot follow a hundred percent. But as much as you can, you must follow. Even there are very simple Sunnah that everybody can do without getting tired, without anything, and Allah ﷻ rewards you.

Why are we saying this? Because we remember Prophet salla Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam every time. Even with a very small thing you do from Sunnah, you remember him ﷺ, you remember Allah ﷻ. Your heart will be all the time with Prophet salla Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam and with Allah ﷻ. When you remember him ﷺ, Allah ﷻ loves you and Prophet salla Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam loves you. May Allah ﷻ make our hearts all the time with him ﷺ insha’Allah.

There are many, thousands of Sunnah from Prophet salla Llāhu ‘alayhi wasallam. We are doing some of them without knowing. But if we know, it will be better. May Allah ﷻ make us know., “Talabu l-I’lm Fareedah”, “Seeking knowledge is an obligation” [Hadith]. It is obligatory to know about Islam, as much as you can. AlhamduliLlah we are now in Majlis I’lm (Gathering of Knowledge) also. And in Majlis I’lm, Allah ﷻ sends His ﷻ Rahmah, His ﷻ Blessings, His ﷻ Barakah insha’Allah.

This is a holy day: Day of Jum’ah, and it was Laylatul Ragha’ib. May Allah ﷻ accept our Dua. May Allah ﷻ keep us safe from this time of Fitnah. May Allah ﷻ give you all the best, all Khayr (goodness) insha’Allah. May Allah ﷻ keep us safe from every bad thing, from every Sharr (evil).

Wa min Allah at-Tawfiq. Al-Fatiha.
