Important That He ﷻ Loves Us

Wa ṣ-Salātu wa s-Salāmu ‘alá Rasūlinā Muḥammadin Sayyidi l-Awwalīna wa l-Akhirīn. Madad yā RasūlAllāh, Madad yā Sādāti Aṣḥābi Rasūlillāh, Madad yā Mashāyikhinā, Dastūr Mawlana Sheikh Abdullāh al-Fā’iz ad-Dāghistāni, Sheikh Muḥammad Nāẓim al-Ḥaqqānī. Madad. Ṭarīqatunā aṣ-Suḥbah wa l-Khayru fi l-Jam‘iyyah.

Bismi Llāhi r-Raḥmāni r-Raḥīm. "Wa-la-qad ṣarrafnā fī hādhā l-qur’āni li-nnāsi min kulli mathalin wa-kāna l-insānu akthara shay’in jadala" (18:54). Ṣadaqa Llāhu l-‘aẓīm. Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla is saying that He ﷻ explained everything in Qur’ān ‘Aẓīmu sh-Sha’n. "Every problem, every goodness; We ﷻ described them in Qur’ān ‘Aẓīmu sh-Sha’n and sent it to humanity and to everything else. There is everything in Qur’ān ‘Aẓīmu sh-Sha’n. All of them accepted it. Jamā‘ah, people, birds, atoms, earth, mountains and stones accepted it except for mankind.

Mankind objected to it the most." Mankind objects to everything from Allāh ﷻ. Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla says they are the ones who don't accept the most. We see it all the time. It has been the same since the beginning. Mankind has been this way since Ādam ‘alayhi s-salām. If all of them accepted, there would be no problem at all. But Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla sent people to this world as a test for them – to accept the truth. People who accept this truth become beloved servants of Allāh ﷻ. Who don't love Ḥaqq are disliked servants of Allāh ﷻ. Does Allāh ﷻ not love? "I ﷻ don't love," says Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla in Qur’ān ‘Aẓīmu sh-Sha’n. We can't interfere in the business of Allāh ﷻ. Allāh ﷻ loves whom He ﷻ loves and dislikes whom He ﷻ dislikes.

When the first order of Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla came to our Holy Prophet ṣallá Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam, "Wa-andhir ‘ashīrataka l-aqrabīn" (26:214). "Notify your tribe about this order. Before that, notify your relatives." Such an order came to him ﷺ. Our Holy Prophet ṣallá Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam gathered all of them and asked them what they knew about him ﷺ.

Certainly, our Holy Prophet ﷺ was a perfect person. He ﷺ was perfect before the prophecy and he ﷺ was perfect afterwards. There was no change. All of them replied, "We know you ﷺ very well. You ﷺ are the person we love very much." He ﷺ started his ﷺ speech, "Will you believe if I ﷺ tell you something?" They said they would. "What will you ﷺ tell us?" So our Holy Prophet ṣallá Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam started telling beautiful words from Allāh ﷻ and shared the orders. All of their hearts were softened. All of them were ready to believe until his ﷺ uncle, a person called Abū Lahab, stood up and started shouting and swearing, saying bad words at our Holy Prophet ﷺ.

This is what Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla says. Most of mankind don't accept. When he did this, the rest ran away from the gathering. They remained in unbelief and only later many of them became Muslim. For example, a person like Abū Lahab, is cursed in Qur’ān. There are sūrahs against him, both him and his wife. Because he was oppressing our Holy Prophet ﷺ since the first day and remained his ﷺ enemy until he died.

The biggest enemy of our Holy Prophet ṣallá Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam was his ﷺ uncle. But, he was harmful to himself. He is in hell forever. And that curse is still going on. But our Holy Prophet ﷺ is the one on the highest station in the universe forever. Those who follow him ﷺ have high stations too. They live with honour. They become beloved servants of Allāh ﷻ. Therefore, do not question the orders of Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla. "Why is this so? It is written so and so in Qur’ān." Some people dare make judgments with their little minds. Therefore, we must pay attention to this. We are in the holy month of our Holy Prophet ṣallá Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam.

We are in the month of his ﷺ birth. Don't fail to respect him ﷺ. Don't let anything come to your heart. Shayṭān can send waswasah (whisperings) to your heart. But beware of speaking it outloud. Don't say, "Why is this so? Why is that so?" Otherwise, all your life will be spoilt and you will be in loss forever. May Allāh ﷻ protect us.

Wa min Allah at-Tawfiq. Al-Fatiha.
