Glorious and Despised Ones

As-Salāmu ‘Alaykum wa RaḥmatuLlāhi wa Barakātuh. A‘ūdhu BiLlāhi Minash-shayṭāni r-rajīm. BismiLlāhi r-Raḥmāni r-Raḥīm.

Bismi Llāhi r-Raḥmāni r-Raḥīm:

(Qur’ān 03:26). ‘Wa Tuizzu Man Tashā'u Wa Tudhillu Man Tashā'u Biyadika AlKhayru, Innaka Alá Kulli Shay'in Qadīrun’, ‘You honor whom You will and You humiliate whom You will. In Your hand is [all] good. Indeed, You are over all things competent.’ Sadaqa Llāhu l-‘Aẓīm.

Whomever Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla makes glorious, only Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla does that. He ﷻ makes whomever He ﷻ wants glorious. He ﷻ raises whomever He ﷻ wants. No one can prevent it. No one can interfere in whom He ﷻ is raising.

Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla willed for our Holy Prophet ﷺ to be the most glorious and most superior. Even though those against him ﷺ did not want it, our Holy Prophet ﷺ is the most glorious one within the universe. When he ﷺ had appeared, he looked like a poor orphan. In those times, in all times of course, but people of those times used to look at the money; his father had to have power and money. Therefore, they didn’t believe in our Holy Prophet ﷺ because of their arrogance. They didn’t follow him ﷺ. What happened when they didn’t follow? Our Holy Prophet ﷺ turned out to be the most glorious, the most honorable one. And they became despised and worthless. They were disgraced. They will remain under the punishment in hell forever until Qiyamah.

Therefore, show respect and love to people whom Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla made glorious so that you you have glory and benefit. Benefit comes only through this, not by our deeds. Of course, going on the way he ﷺ shows is a sign of loving and following him ﷺ. Do that too. But the most important thing while doing that is that we must have love, respect and honor to him ﷺ. Otherwise, our deeds are imperfect. They say it is unclear if they are accepted or not. Only by honoring and making Salawat on our Holy Prophet ﷺ, all of them will be accepted. There will be no doubt or suspicion then. Otherwise, you may be all-knowing and do everything you want, it has no benefit at all unless you have love to our Holy Prophet ﷺ. And it is unclear if it will be accepted or not.

May Allah ﷻ protect us. May Allah ﷻ make us all from the glorious servants insha’Allah. It is by His ﷻ will. Whatever happens and takes place is His ﷻ will. Insha’Allah, may His ﷻ will and wish be good for us insha’Allah.

Wa min Allah at-Tawfiq. Al-Fatiha.

There are recited Qur’an Khatms, Salawat, Tasbihat, Ayat and Surahs, Tahlilat and Takbirat. May they be of benefit to those who’ve received them. We gift them firstly to our Holy Prophet ﷺ, his Ahlu l-Bayt and Sahabah, to the souls of all Anbiya, Awliya, Asfiya and Mashayikh, Awliya and righteous ones, to the souls of all Mu’mins and Mu’minahs. For goodness to come and evil to be gone. May those who’ve recited reach their good goals. May we all be happy here and hereafter.

Li-Llahi Ta’ala l-Fatiha.
