Only His ﷺ Love Will Save Us

Shukr to Allah ﷻ, we reached the Mawlid of our Holy Prophet ﷺ and these holy days. Masha’Allah we gathered well both here and in the Dergah in Cyprus for the pleasure of Allah ﷻ. There was a lot of people who came there. Even though this year was difficult in terms of money and the prices of tickets, much more people came. Shukr to Allah ﷻ, they sacrifice everything for the honor of our Holy Prophet ﷺ, SubhanAllah. And Allah ﷻ is certainly giving them from His ﷻ virtues and generosity in return for that.

The most important thing that Muslims should do is to respect our Holy Prophet ﷺ and to remember him ﷺ with love and respect. This is what Allah ﷻ loves. Shaytan doesn’t like the things that Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla loves and that should be done. Therefore, may we do things that shaytan dislikes. To respect our Holy Prophet ﷺ and his ﷺ Ahlu l-Bayt and the great Sahabah above all is not a bad thing.

There are many cheated people now. Why is that? There are many people who say he ﷺ is a person just like us who is dead and gone. They live by as Muslims, but they have no Iman. They are Muslim but they don’t have as little Iman as the size of an atom in their hearts. If they had Iman, they wouldn’t say so, because our Holy Prophet ﷺ is not an ordinary person. He ﷺ is the master of people and the beloved servant of Allah ﷻ. Allah ﷻ certainly gives him ﷺ what he ﷺ asks for.

The intercession of our Holy Prophet ﷺ is real. Therefore, our Holy Prophet ﷺ asks for intercession from Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla. And this intercession is given to people who believe in the intercession. It is not meant for others. “I am Hafiz. I know all of the Qur’an. I know thousands of Hadith by heart.” There’s no need for this to people who don’t want intercession. There won’t be any intercession for them. Without the intercession, even if the whole world was a book and they learnt it by heart, they wouldn’t be saved. It is hard for them to be saved.

May Allah ﷻ help us insha’Allah. May this love increase in our hearts. Allah ﷻ will save us with this love. The love of Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla and the love of our Holy Prophet salla Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam are what will save us. They are what bring benefit to us. Without love, there is nothing. May Allah ﷻ increase their love in us insha’Allah.

Wa min Allah at-Tawfiq. Al-Fatiha.
