Allāh ﷻ Protects His ﷻ Beloved

Treating the beloved person of Allāh ﷻ as enemy pulls the wrath of Allāh ﷻ upon them. The most beloved person is our Holy Prophet ṣallá Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam. We are in his ﷺ holy month. Allāh ﷻ says in ḥadīth qudsī, “Who treats My beloved servant as enemy becomes an enemy to Me. I declare war against him." Who can stand against Allāh ﷻ? The whole universe cannot. How can a single person do that?

Therefore, showing respect to our Holy Prophet ﷺ is the biggest profit. Treating him ﷺ like an enemy is the biggest loss. It is such an uncompensable loss that they can stay in hell forever unless they repent. We all know that our Holy Prophet ﷺ is protected by Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla. But kāfirs don't know that. They don't respect him ﷺ. They say "If I do something, it will be good for me." It won't be good. Never ever. Even though our Holy Prophet ṣallá Llāhu ‘alayhi wasallam didn't have anyone, Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla protected him ﷺ. He ﷺ guarded him ﷺ.

Once our Holy Prophet ṣallá Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam was praying in Ka‘bah. Mushriks and kāfirs of Quraysh sat around Ka‘bah and thought about all kinds of badness. Because of their arrogance, they thought about arrogance, about boasting themselves and being praised. When our Holy Prophet ṣallá Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam was praised by Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla, they got jealous. They didn't like it at all. They were always harming him ﷺ.

One day our Holy Prophet ṣallá Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam was praying. Jamā‘ah of mushriks and kāfirs had gathered there. They looked from afar and said "Who will go there and insult him ﷺ by stepping on his ﷺ head when he ﷺ goes to sajdah?" Abū Jahl, the biggest of mushriks stood up and said "I will do that." He went there. As soon as he reached, he reached there with fear and

returned in fear. His face became pale. He was trembling with fear. The Mushriks near him said "You had bossed around and said you'd do it and went there. Why did you come back like this?" He said "I saw fire there. If I made one more step, I would have burned. I don't know how I escaped." Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla protected our Holy Prophet ﷺ and wanted to teach them a lesson. But they didn't believe out of their arrogance. They died as kāfirs. Even in their last breaths, they didn't quit their arrogance and died as kāfirs.

People nowadays as well, sometimes people without adab and without good manners attack our Holy Prophet ṣallá Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam and say this and that about him ﷺ. They are attacking themselves. They are oppressing themselves. They are doing badness to themselves. They are not aware of that. They are not at rest in this world. And even if they own the whole world, they won't have any comfort in ākhirah. They are hopeless. They don't believe in anything any way. But they will certainly be punished for what they did in ākhirah.

Therefore, people who are with our Holy Prophet ﷺ, people who respect him ﷺ are lucky people. People who have love to him ﷺ are saved. Otherwise, those who obey their egos and arrogance, whose eyes are blind and don't see the truth will go down the cliff and perish. May Allāh ﷻ protect us all. Respecting our Holy Prophet ﷺ is especially for Muslims. Non-Muslims and those who don't respect Muslims - their īmān is in danger. Therefore, may Allāh ﷻ protect our īmān. May Allāh ﷻ give strength in shā’a Llāh.

Wa min Allah at-Tawfiq. Al-Fatiha.
