It is an honor to listen to them because they are very good-hearted and also the best at making </span><span class="c2">salawaat </span><span class="c4">on Prophet (s), and everyone is here tonight for them. </span><p><p class="c0 c3"><span class="c4"></span><p><p class="c0"><span class="c4">To speak is easy, anyone can speak; Allah (swt) gave human beings a tongue and vocal cords to make it move and make different sounds, but are these sounds that we bring out of our mouth and tongue clean or are they mixed with many mistakes and sins we have made? No one is infallible, </span><span class="c2">m`asoom,</span><span class="c4"> except Sayyidina Muhammad (s), to whom Allah (swt) gave that characteristic. Whatever he (s) says is </span><span class="c2">haqq</span><span class="c4"> a</span><span class="c4">nd whatever he gave us through his message, the message of Islam, and what he said in his hadith is </span><span class="c2">haqq</span><span class="c4">!</span><p><p class="c0 c3"><span class="c4"></span><p><p class="c0"><span class="c4">Muslims must not create a situation that puts people into doubt. </span><p><p class="c22"><span class="c9">أن أبا هريرة قال سمعت رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم يقول من رآني في المنام فسيراني في اليقظة أو فكأنما رآني في اليقظة لا يتمثل الشيطان بي </span><p><p class="c0 c3"><span class="c2"></span><p><p class="c0"><span class="c2">man raa’nee fi ’l-manaam fa sa-yaranee fi’l-yaqazhah aw ka-annamaa raa’nee fi’l-yaqazhah laa yatamathal ash-shaytaanu bee.</span><p><p class="c0"><span class="c2">The Prophet (s) said, "Who saw me in the dream really saw me, because Shaytan can not assume my image." </span><p><p class="c0 c3"><span class="c2"></span><p><p class="c0"><span class="c4">It means to see Prophet (s) in the dream is Islamically accepted; can anyone say no? No one. In the other hadith, he said:</span><p><p class="c22"><span class="c9">مَن </span><span class="c9">رآني</span><span class="c9 c5 c12"> </span><span class="c9">في </span><span class="c9">المنام</span><span class="c9 c12 c5"> </span><span class="c9">فسيراني في اليقظة</span><p><p class="c0"><span class="c2">man raa’nee fi ’l-manaam fa sa-yaranee fi’l-yaqazhah</span><p><p class="c0"><span class="c2">Who saw me in the dream will see me in reality.</span><p><p class="c0 c3"><span class="c2"></span><p><p class="c0"><span class="c4">I</span><span class="c4">t changed little bit, instead of "he really saw me," he said, </span><span class="c2">fa sayaranee</span><span class="c4">, "W</span><span class="c4">hoever sees me in the dream is going to see me in reality." Is there any question about it? No. </span><p><p class="c0 c3"><span class="c4"></span><p><p class="c0"><span class="c4">In his </span><span class="c2">tafseer </span><span class="c4">of that hadith, Imam Suyuti (r) said it means:</span><p><p class="c0 c8"><span class="c4">He will see me not only in </span><span class="c2">akhirah</span><span class="c4"> but in </span><span class="c2">dunya, </span><span class="c4">because in</span><span class="c2"> akhirah</span><span class="c4"> everyone is going to see Prophet (s) and as all nations will come under his flag:</span><p><p class="c17"><span class="c9">آدم ومن دونه تحت لواي يوم القيامة</span><p><p class="c0 c8"><span class="c2">Adamu waman doona wa tahta liwa’ihee yawmal qiyyama.</span><p><p class="c0 c8"><span class="c2">Adam and who is under Adam is under my flag on Judgment Day.</span><p><p class="c0 c8 c3"><span class="c2"></span><p><p class="c0 c8"><span class="c4">meaning he is going to see me in </span><span class="c2">dunya</span><span class="c4"> before he leaves </span><span class="c2">dunya</span><span class="c4">. He will see Prophet (s)."</span><p><p class="c0 c3"><span class="c4"></span><p><p class="c0"><span class="c4">I</span><span class="c4">f you did not see Prophet (s), can you say, “I saw Prophet (s) in the dream.” No way, as no one can lie on Prophet (s)! You might lie on the street to someone, or to your father or mother, but to lie to a Muslim is difficult, especially for a scholar and especially to those about whom Allah (swt) described:</span><p><p class="c0 c19"><span class="c9">أَلا إِنَّ أَوْلِيَاء اللّهِ لاَ خَوْفٌ عَلَيْهِمْ وَلاَ هُمْ يَحْزَنُونَ</span><p><p class="c0"><span class="c2">`Alaa inna awliyaaullaahi laa khawfun `alayhim wa laa hum yahzanoon</span><span class="c4">.</span><p><p class="c0 c15"><span class="c2">Behold! Verily on the Friends of Allah there is no fear, nor shall they grieve.</span><span class="c4"> (Surat al-Yunus, 10:62)</span><p><p class="c0 c3"><span class="c4"></span><p><p class="c0"><span class="c4">Unless they actually saw the Prophet (s), those pious, sincere servants can never say, “We saw Prophet (s) and did this.” If they see they mention it and otherwise not. The evidence of seeing Prophet (s) and asking something and him replying in a dream is a fact and not imagination, and there is a strong base in Islam to support it. I will give an example of a normal person who is not even a </span><span class="c2">Sahaabi,</span><span class="c4"> Imam Ishma`il al-Bukhari (r). Whenever he heard a hadith, he would sometimes travel months to the person who had it, in order to see if that hadith is correct. Then he always made </span><span class="c2">istikhaara</span><span class="c4"> and asked Prophet (s) for the final confirmation. That is a </span><span class="c2">wali,</span><span class="c4"> a pious person and not a </span><span class="c2">Sahaabi. </span><span class="c4">W</span><span class="c4">henever he wanted to compile a chapter of </span><span class="c2">ahadeeth</span><span class="c4">, he made </span><span class="c2">istikhaara</span><span class="c4"> and asked Prophet (s) which chapter and category to place it in, and Prophet (s) told him. This means Allah (swt) gave some people the ability to see Prophet (s), and while not everyone can ask and get an answer, there are some who can and do. And this is what we have been explaining for the last two months in the series "The Greatness of </span><span class="c2">Salawaat</span><span class="c4"> on Prophet (s)."</span><p><p class="c0 c3"><span class="c4"></span><p><p class="c0"><span class="c4">Today we continue to see how much </span><span class="c2">salawaat</span><span class="c4"> is important and how much those who make </span><span class="c2">qasa’id</span><span class="c4"> are inspired to write what they write. There are </span><span class="c2">du`as</span><span class="c4"> and praises on Prophet (s) given to us by </span><span class="c2">awliyaullah,</span><span class="c4"> whose </span><span class="c2">barakah</span><span class="c4"> these </span><span class="c2">qasaa’id</span><span class="c4"> are never able to reach. I will mention a story about someone in the time of Sayyidina Musa (a). One person was a gangster, a troublemaker. He had too many sins and did not leave anyone from his </span><span class="c2">sharr, </span><span class="c4">badness, and Sayyidina Musa (a) was annoyed with him. One day that man died, just as all of us are going to die. When they take you inside the grave and close everything over you, what are you going to say there? Today if they put you in an MRI machine, you begin to feel claustrophobic. What then are you going to feel when you are in a narrow box two meters long; will you not be claustrophobic? Can you do that in real life? Can you go to a grave, cover yourself and sit there? You cannot do it even for five minutes!</span><p><p class="c0 c3"><span class="c4"></span><p><p class="c0"><span class="c4">Around 300 </span><span class="c4">Hijri</span><span class="c4">, in the time of Imam Shafi`i (r), there was a lady named Sayyidah Nafeesa at-Tahirah (r) who, from the side of Sayyidina `Ali (r), is the grandchild of Prophet (s). She is buried in Egypt. Imam Shafi`i (r) used to pass by her house on his way to the </span><span class="c2">masjid</span><span class="c4"> where he sat for one or two hours with his students as she explained </span><span class="c2">tafseer </span><span class="c4">of Holy </span><span class="c4">Qur’an and hadith to them. She was called "Tahirah" because she made all her prayers, </span><span class="c2">dhikr </span><span class="c4">and </span><span class="c2">salawaat </span><span class="c4">day and night in a grave that she dug, to learn how to overcome the feeling of claustrophobia in the grave. She was one of the teachers of Imam Shafi`i (r). </span><p><p class="c0 c3"><span class="c4"></span><p><p class="c0"><span class="c4">So that man passed away, may Allah (swt) forgive us and bless us before we die, in the grave, and on Judgment Day with the </span><span class="c2">barakah</span><span class="c4"> of Prophet Muhammad (s)! Sayyidina Musa (a) said, "</span><span class="c2">Alhamdulillah</span><span class="c4"> his oppression on us is finished and we are relieved." So instead of praying on him and giving him a proper burial, they took him and threw him in a well. Allah (swt) used to talk to Musa (a), who was </span><span class="c2">Kaleemullah</span><span class="c4">.</span><span class="c4"> He (swt) said, "</span><span class="c2">Yaa </span><span class="c4">Musa! Today one of My servants whom I rewarded with Paradise died. Go and take him from the well, wash him, pray on him and bury him, as that one is one of My Friends." </span><p><p class="c0"><span class="c4">Sayyidina Musa (a) was surprised and answered, "</span><span class="c2">Yaa Rabbee,</span><span class="c4"> what happened? He was a gangster!" </span><p><p class="c0"><span class="c4">Allah (swt) answered, "</span><span class="c2">Yaa</span><span class="c4"> Musa! I will do anything for the ones I love. I created this entire creation for My Beloved and I will do anything for him! That person, who was a gangster in your eyes, one day opened the </span><span class="c2">Tawraat</span><span class="c4"> and found the name ‘Muhammad.’ Upon seeing this name, he praised My Beloved, and I sent him to Paradise for saying ‘</span><span class="c2">Allahumma salli `alaa Sayyidina Muhammad’ </span><span class="c4">only one time!"</span><p><p class="c0 c3"><span class="c4"></span><p><p class="c0"><span class="c4">It is mentioned in </span><span class="c4 c5">Talkhees al-Ma`arif</span><span class="c4"> on page 13 and in </span><span class="c4 c5">Fi ’l-Majaalis al-Makkiyya</span><span class="c4"> on page 27, that Prophet (s) said to one </span><span class="c2">wali</span><span class="c4">, as-Sakhawi, when he saw Prophet (s) in a dream:</span><p><p class="c0 c8"><span class="c2">Yaa Rasoolullah!</span><span class="c4"> If someone praises you what benefit will he get? He said, "Whoever praises me by praising the high level that Allah has given me, in order to show love and happiness towards me, Allah will create from this word an angel who has one wing in the east and one wing in the west and his head will be bowing under the Throne. And Allah will order that angel, "Praise My servant, because he praised My Beloved!" and that will be written for you until the Day of Judgment. </span><p><p class="c0 c8 c3"><span class="c4"></span><p><p class="c0 c8"><span class="c4">It is written in </span><span class="c4 c5">Kashf al-Ghummah</span><span class="c4"> on page 27, a</span><span class="c4"> very famous book of Imam Sha`arani, that Prophet (s) said to a </span><span class="c2">wali</span><span class="c4"> in a dream:</span><p><p class="c0 c8"><span class="c4">For anyone who praises me out of love, Allah will create an angel who has a wing in the east and a wing in the west and Allah will order him to dip his wings in water and shake them, and from every drop of that water I will create an angel that will praise the Prophet (s) and all of that will be written for the one who made that </span><span class="c2">salawaat</span><span class="c4">. The Prophet said, "Praises on me are better at extinguishing sins than water can put out fire." </span><p><p class="c0 c8 c3"><span class="c4"></span><p><p class="c0"><span class="c4">This means if only once we say, "</span><span class="c2">Allahumma salli `alaa Sayyidina Muhammadin wa `alaa ali Sayyidina Muhammadin was sallim,"</span><span class="c4"> it </span><span class="c4">will erase all our sins! </span><p><p class="c0 c3"><span class="c4"></span><p><p class="c0"><span class="c4">O Muslims! Allah gave us a way to save ourselves and for the </span><span class="c2">ummah</span><span class="c4"> to save itself. Do you know </span><span class="c2">Salaat al Faatih</span><span class="c4">? </span><span class="c4">Who wrote that </span><span class="c2">salawaat</span><span class="c4">? It is very well-known that it is from Muhammad al-Bakri (r), but he did not write it, it was dictated to him. He is a big </span><span class="c2">wali</span><span class="c4"> of his time. He said, "I saw Prophet (s) in a dream" and he asked, "</span><span class="c2">Yaa Rabbee</span><span class="c4">! T</span><span class="c4">each me one </span><span class="c2">salawaat </span><span class="c4">that no one has said or written before, that if I recite it, it will equal the number of </span><span class="c2">salawaat </span><span class="c4">from the time of Sayyidina Adam (a) until Judgment Day!" And he saw Sayyidina Muhammad (s) in his dream saying, "Write </span><span class="c2">Salaat al-Fatih</span><span class="c4"> (below)."</span><p><p class="c0 c3"><span class="c4"></span><p><p class="c22"><span class="c9">اللهم صل على سيدنا محمد الفاتح لما أغلق و الخاتم لما سبق ناصر الحق بالحق و الهادي إلى صراطك المستقيم </span><span class="c9">و</span><span class="c9">على آله حق قدره و مقداره العظيم</span><p><p class="c0"><span class="c2">Allahumma salli `alaa Sayyidina Muhammadin ‘il-faatihi limaa ughliqa wa ’l-khaatimi limaa sabaqa wa naasiri ’l-haqqi bi ’l-haqqi wa ’l-haadi ilaa siraatik al-mustaqeema salla ’Llaahu `alayhi wa `alaa aalihi haqqa qadrihi wa miqdaarihi ’l-`azheem.</span><p><p class="c0"><span class="c2">O Allah! Bless our Master Muhammad (s), who opened what was closed and who is the Seal of what went before, he who makes the Truth victorious by the Truth, the guide to Your Straight Path, and bless his household as is the due of his immense position and grandeur. </span><p><p class="c0 c3"><span class="c4"></span><p><p class="c0"><span class="c4">That is like you have made not one </span><span class="c2">salawaat, </span><span class="c4">but just now we read it and Allah (swt) created 600,000 angels who are making </span><span class="c2">salawaat</span><span class="c4"> that is written for you until the Day of Judgment! Allah is giving us things that will save us on the Day of Judgment because we are doing too many sins. Even for Sayyidina Dawood (a), when Allah created Adam and put the Light of Sayyidina Muhammad (s) in his forehead, He ordered all angels to make a </span><span class="c2">sajda </span><span class="c4">of respect to that Light of the Prophet (s). </span><p><p class="c0 c3"><span class="c4"></span><p><p class="c0"><span class="c4">It has been mentioned in many places and in many combined </span><span class="c2">ahadeeth </span><span class="c4">that the beautiful smell that comes from making </span><span class="c2">salawaat </span><span class="c4">on Prophet (s) </span><span class="c4">penetrates all the earths and all Seven Heavens, reaches the Throne and makes </span><span class="c2">sajda</span><span class="c4">, and it is written for that person! To make </span><span class="c2">salawaat</span><span class="c4"> is the easiest way for Allah (swt) to forgive our sins. I will mention one </span><span class="c2">salawaat</span><span class="c4"> and </span><span class="c4">ask, are you afraid from the grave? Yes, of course, and it makes you to feel claustrophobic. The </span><span class="c2">salawaat </span><span class="c4">I am about to mention</span><span class="c2"> </span><span class="c4">will take claustrophobia away from you and will make ease for you in the grave, and will make you to not be afraid from the interrogating angels</span><span class="c4"> Munkar and Nakeer, </span><span class="c4">like Sayyidina `Umar (r).</span><p><p class="c0 c3"><span class="c4"></span><p><p class="c0"><span class="c4">It is said that Sayyidina `Ali’s and Sayyidina Umar’s sons were always debating each other, which are norms of </span><span class="c2">dunya</span><span class="c4">, but their eyes were open.</span><span class="c4"> When Sayyidina `Umar (r) passed away they buried him, and after everyone left, the sons of the two </span><span class="c2">Sahaabi</span><span class="c4"> stood by the grave debating with each other, "My father is better," "No, your father is not better," as they were young. Then the two angels came and Grandshaykh (q) said they began to ask him questions, and the first question was, "Who is your Creator?" You have to say, "Allah (swt)," but can you trust yourself there to say it? If Allah froze our tongue we will be lost! May Allah (swt) not freeze our tongue and may we successfully say, "Allah is the Creator! Prophet (s) is the Messenger! Islam is our religion! The Holy Qur’an is our book!"</span><p><p class="c0 c3"><span class="c4"></span><p><p class="c0"><span class="c4">So Munkar and Nakeer asked, "Who is your Creator?" </span><p><p class="c0"><span class="c4">Sayyidina `Umar (r) looked at them and said, "Do you not know me?" </span><p><p class="c0"><span class="c4">They said, "We don’t know anyone, we are asking you!" </span><p><p class="c0"><span class="c4">No one can do what Sayyidina `Umar did; he was fierce, strong, and gave power to Islam. He said, "Come nearer, I can’t hear the question." So Sayyidina Munkar came closer and asked again, and Sayyidina `Umar (r) asked Munkar, "You are coming all the way from heaven, how long did it take you? Do you think I have already forgotten my Creator when it is only 100 meters from my home to this grave?" Then he punched Munkar in the eye! </span><p><p class="c0 c3"><span class="c4"></span><p><p class="c0"><span class="c4">Grandshaykh (q) said that even up to today, Sayyidina Munkar has pain in that eye from Sayyidina `Umar’s blow, which was done on behalf of the whole </span><span class="c2">ummah</span><span class="c4">! It means, "Do not approach </span><span class="c2">ummat an-Nabee</span><span class="c4"> (s)!" So for anyone who recites that </span><span class="c2">salawaat, </span><span class="c4">upon their death Prophet (s) will go with them to their burial and bury them himself with his own blessed hands! It is mentioned as </span><span class="c2">An-Tusimma Salaatu ’l-`Aali, "</span><span class="c4">The Highest </span><span class="c2">Salaat</span><span class="c4">."</span><span class="c2"> </span><span class="c4">It is:</span><p><p class="c22"><span class="c9">اللهم صل على سيدنا محمد النبي الأمي الحبيب العالي القدر العظيم الجاه وعلى آله وصحبه وسلم</span><p><p class="c0"><span class="c2">Allahumma salli wa sallim wa baarik `alaa Sayyidina Muhmmadin an-Nabee, al-Ummee, al-Habeeb, al-`Aali, al-Qadri, al-`Azheem, al-Habeebu ’l-`Aaliyy al-qadr, al-`Azheemi ’l- ja’a, wa `alaa aalihi wa sahbihi wa sallam. </span><p><p class="c0 c3"><span class="c2"></span><p><p class="c0"><span class="c4">Shaykh Yusawi (r) said that Ad-Dardeer, who is very famous, explained that and Imam Suyuti (r) has confirmed this </span><span class="c2">salawaat</span><span class="c4">. It is mentioned that whoever keeps reciting it once every Friday will not be put in the grave except that he will be with Prophet (s)! Also, Syed Zayni ad-Dahlaan of Mecca, a very famous </span><span class="c2">mufti</span><span class="c4"> from the Shafi`i school of thought, wrote in one of his collections on page 65, "It is from the best forms or versions of praising Prophet (s)." Numerous </span><span class="c2">awliyaullah </span><span class="c4">said, "Whoever recites it even once on Friday or from Thursday evening onwards, Allah will allow his soul to see the Exemplar of All Souls (s) at his death." Allah (swt) will open for him to see Prophet (s) when his soul is coming out, not only in death but also when they take him to his grave, until he sees Prophet (s) is the one taking care of him in that grave! That is the for the one who will recite it just once! </span><p><p class="c0 c3"><span class="c4"></span><p><p class="c0"><span class="c4">And how many sins do we have? Do we need this </span><span class="c2">salawaat</span><span class="c4">? We did it once, so now when Munkar and Nakeer will be with you and will see the Prophet (s), they will feel shy from him and run away. Some </span><span class="c2">ahadeeth </span><span class="c4">say about </span><span class="c2">Salaat al-Fatih</span><span class="c4"> that i</span><span class="c4">f you recite it once, it is equal to 600,000 readings of </span><span class="c4 c5">Dala’il al-Khayrat</span><span class="c4">.</span><span class="c4"> </span><p><p class="c0 c3"><span class="c4"></span><p><p class="c0"><span class="c4">I will give an example of a sin from a Prophet, which is not considered a sin as Prophets are </span><span class="c2">m`asoom</span><span class="c4">, infallible, but they are teaching us. This is related from the son of Sayyidina Hussayn (r). Everyone knows the story of Sayyidina Dawood (a) from the Holy Qur’an, when the two angels came to him and he wanted to marry the wife of his general, aside from his existing 99 wives. Although that was not a sin, he asked thus and no sin was committed, but for Prophets</span><span class="c2"> </span><span class="c4">it is considered a sin, so </span><span class="c4">Allah (swt) is teaching us here. Sayyidina Dawood (a) began to cry until all of </span><span class="c4">Bani Israel </span><span class="c4">was crying. With one tear that comes from your eyes in the middle of the night out of love for Allah, He will heal you from all kinds of sins! In the hadith of the Prophet (s), he said, "Allah loves most a servant whose tears come from crying in the middle of the night and that one tear will save him from Hellfire." </span><p><p class="c0 c3"><span class="c4"></span><p><p class="c0"><span class="c4">So when Sayyidina Dawood (a) asked for that marriage and fell into that mistake, he began to cry and all of Bani Israel also cried. He went to the forest and all the animals cried with him. Sayyidina Adam (a) cried for forty years because of one sin, one act of disobedience! How much do we disobey? Adam cried for forty years and tears flowed from his eyes like rivers, until Allah (swt) said to him, "Raise your head, you are forgiven." What about us, are we worried or not? Don’t worry, but make </span><span class="c2">salawaat</span><span class="c4">.</span><span class="c4"> </span><p><p class="c0 c3"><span class="c4"></span><p><p class="c0"><span class="c4">Sayyidina Dawood (a) became so frustrated from his mistake and he heard the mountain making </span><span class="c2">tasbeeh </span><span class="c4">and</span><span class="c10"> </span><span class="c4">he went to the mountain and said, </span><span class="c2">Fa yunaadee ilayka rahibtu ilaahee min `azheem jurmee</span><span class="c4">,</span><span class="c4"> "O my God! I am coming to You asking forgiveness for my great mistake," and he cried until midnight, return </span><span class="c4">home, enter his room, lock the door and remain praying, prostrating, fasting and crying continuously. </span><p><p class="c0"><span class="c4">O</span><span class="c4">ne night his young son came to him and said, "O my father! Night came and the people who are fasting have broken their fast."</span><p><p class="c0"><span class="c4">He said, "O my son! Your father is not the same father he was before; he fell into a deep problem and is busy. He is not interested in your supper."</span><p><p class="c0"><span class="c4">The child went back to his mother crying and the mother came to the door and said, "O Allah's Messenger! For your sake, I give you my father’s and my mother’s life! Night came and the food of the one who is fasting is ready. Can we bring you your food?" </span><p><p class="c0"><span class="c4">He called her from behind the door, "What is Dawood going to do with the food? Nothing. What is he going to do after he committed this sin?" </span><p><p class="c0 c3"><span class="c4"></span><p><p class="c0"><span class="c4">How much of sins we commit and how many tears come from our eyes? He kept crying like that for years, until Allah (swt) sent him a message, "</span><span class="c2">Yaa</span><span class="c4"> Dawood! I forgive you." Did we get a message like that? No. </span><p><p class="c0 c3"><span class="c4"></span><p><p class="c0"><span class="c4">This is written in the </span><span class="c2">tafseer </span><span class="c4">of the creation of Adam. </span><p><p class="c0 c3"><span class="c4"></span><p><p class="c0"><span class="c2">When Sayyidina Adam (a) was created, Allah (swt) stroked his back and drips came from it and all his offspring began to appear from those drips. When all those whom Allah created through Adam (a) appeared, (and He taught him all the names, not only of human beings), he said Allah made Light come out between the eyes of people, (and that Light is a trace of noor an-Nabee (s) that Prophet (s) gave to each of his ummah and every human being inherited a little bit of that Light). </span><span class="c2">Sayyidina Adam (a) saw one of them who was very beautiful and he cried, asking, "Yaa Rabbee, who is that?" Allah (swt) said, "That is one of your ummah." One riwaya says it is from the ummah of Sayyidina Muhammad and one says it is one of Sayyidina Adam’s children and that one was Sayyidina Dawood (a). Sayyidina Adam said, "Yaa Rabbee, why did you make his life short, give him part of my life?" And when the Angel of Death came to take his soul, Sayyidina Adam said, "Why have you come? I still have forty years left."The angel said, "You forgot that you gave forty years of your life to Sayyidina Dawood?" </span><span class="c4">(Tirmidhi, </span><span class="c2">hasan sahih</span><span class="c4">)</span><p><p class="c0 c3"><span class="c4"></span><p><p class="c0"><span class="c4">He forgot, so that is why Allah (swt) made all his children forget. </span><span class="c2">Jahada</span><span class="c4"> means "he revoked his promise." When the angel came, he said, "Revoke it, cancel that deal." So that is why his </span><span class="c2">ummah </span><span class="c4">revokes too much and they cancel many things and they forget too much. However, Allah (swt) gave us a way through reciting many </span><span class="c2">salawaat </span><span class="c4">on Prophet (s) and that will save us from problems and from Hellfire. May Allah (swt) forgive us and bless this meeting, and bless all your children so </span><span class="c2">inshaa-Allah</span><span class="c4"> they will be strong enough to fight Shaytan, who penetrates each one of us! This is the biggest challenge we face today, the struggle between good and evil. There are too many evil ones, but still there are also some good ones. </span><p><p class="c0 c3"><span class="c4"></span><p><p class="c0"><span class="c4">And we mentioned in </span><span class="c2">Jumu`ah</span><span class="c4"> today that:</span><p><p class="c0 c3"><span class="c4"></span><p><p class="c0 c19"><span class="c20">آية المنافق ثلاث</span><span class="c6"> </span><span class="c9">إذا حدث كذب وإذا وعد أخلف وإذا ائتمن خان</span><p><p class="c0"><span class="c2">Ayatu ’l-munaafiq thalaath</span><span class="c4">: </span><span class="c2">idhaa hadatha kadhib wa idhaa wa`adu akhlaf wa idhaa utumina khaan.</span><p><p class="c0"><span class="c2">The signs of a hypocrite are three: when he speaks he lies, and when he makes a promise he breaks it</span><span class="c4"> </span><span class="c2">and when he is charged with a trust he deceives.</span><span class="c4"> (Bukhari)</span><p><p class="c0 c3"><span class="c4"></span><p><p class="c0"><span class="c4">The signs of a hypocrite are three: </span><span class="c4 c5">If he talks he lies</span><span class="c4">. (There might be some who don’t lie, but the majority lie and Allah (swt) does not like that). </span><span class="c4 c5">If you trusted him, he betrays you</span><span class="c4">. </span><p><p class="c0 c3"><span class="c4"></span><p><p class="c0"><span class="c4">How much we trust many people and then at the end they betray us, especially in the stock market, so don’t invest in stocks as they raise the price then drop and use the stock market like a machine. Third is, </span><span class="c4 c5">if he promises, he revokes his promise</span><span class="c4">. </span><p><p class="c0 c3"><span class="c4"></span><p><p class="c0"><span class="c4">Sayyidina Adam (s) promised forty years of his life, </span><span class="c2">astaghfirullah, </span><span class="c4">he is a prophet and he will not do that like us. Also one time, when the Prophet (s) was in a mosque at Madinah two </span><span class="c2">Sahaabah</span><span class="c4"> said, "We want to go to the next village and we will come back after prayers," but the time for prayer came and they did not return. The time for `</span><span class="c2">Asr</span><span class="c4"> passed and then </span><span class="c2">Maghrib</span><span class="c4">. The </span><span class="c2">Sahaabah</span><span class="c4"> had to spend the night in the village as it was then nightfall. Finally when they returned in the morning, they found Sayyidina Muhammad (s) still there waiting for them. He (s) said, "A </span><span class="c2">mu’min</span><span class="c4"> keeps his promise."</span><p><p class="c0 c3"><span class="c4"></span><p><p class="c0"><span class="c4">Look at the hadith of the three signs of the hypocrite: if he speaks he lies, if he is trusted he betrays the trust, and if he makes a promise he revokes it, even though he prays and fasts! We can see that hadith is mentioning a Muslim; if they have these three signs they are </span><span class="c2">munaafiq,</span><span class="c4"> even </span><span class="c4">though they might pray and fast! So we have to struggle to take these characteritics out of us. </span><p><p class="c0 c3"><span class="c4"></span><p><p class="c0"><span class="c2">Wa min Allahi 't-tawfeeq, bi hurmati 'l-habeeb, bi hurmati 'l-Fatihah.</span><span class="c4"> </span><p><p class="c0 c3"><span class="c4"></span><p><p class="c0 c3"><span class="c4"></span><p><a href="#" name="fb9fb93011ad78ca1e36c4c1e56fdf04d009bd67"></a><a href="#" name="0"></a><table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="c14"><tbody></tbody></table><p class="c0 c7"><span class="c12 c5 c16"><a class="c11" href="http://www.sufilive.com/Salawat_on_Prophet_s_Erases_Every_Sin-4291.html">http://www.sufilive.com/Salawat_on_Prophet_s_Erases_Every_Sin-4291.html</a></span><p><p class="c0 c7"><span class="c1">© Copyright</span><span class="c1"> 2012 Sufilive.
