Loving Him ﷺ is Farḍ

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

To celebrate the birth day of our Prophet ﷺ, and remember him ﷺ is the means of attaining the pleasure of Allāh ﷻ, in shā’a Llāh. Now they say there is no mawlid and so. They are looking for something to prevent honoring, respecting and loving our Prophet ﷺ. They can’t do so, with the permission of Allāh ﷻ. Why? Because the love of our Prophet ﷺ is farḍ, obligatory for mankind, for Muslims.

So shukr to Allāh ﷻ, we are going to Cyprus today, in shā’a Llāh. Celebrating Mawlid and being together with our brothers, gathering for Mawlid for the pleasure of Allāh ﷻ there will bring great benefits, in shā’a Llāh. May it be the means of barakah, in shā’a Llāh. May it be the means for the strength of our imān. May it be the means for the intercession of our Prophet ﷺ. Nothing will work without it anyways.

Whoever loves our Prophet ﷺ, our Prophet ṣallá Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam loves him back. He ﷺ says, a person is with whom he loves. Therefore, shukr to Allāh ﷻ, we will be together in paradise, Allāh ﷻ willing. Because it is his ﷺ favorite blessed word. So whoever loves and respects our Prophet ṣallá Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam is always at peace. He doesn’t have any fear or worries. Those who don’t love him ﷺ say this and that, and send everyone to hell. And they think they will go to paradise themselves. Whereas without the intercession of our Prophet ṣallá Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam, it is difficult to enter paradise. The love of our Prophet ﷺ is what saves us from hell.

May Allāh ﷻ bless these holy days. May He ﷻ make the barakah of this blessed day be upon us, in shā’a Llāh. May we be his ﷺ neighbors in paradise, in shā’a Llāh. This holy month is his ﷺ month. In shā’a Llāh, hardship and evil will be gone with his ﷺ barakah. May Allāh ﷻ send the Sahib, in shā’a Llāh. May Allāh ﷻ make it blessed upon us.

Wa min Allāhi t-Tawfīq. Al-Fātiḥa.
