When the Month of Rabi-ul-Awwal arrives and the moon of this glorious
month is sighted, then the gardens of Islam begin to
bloom illuminating the fragrance of the most beautifully scented of flowers, the
pearl of the creation of Allah, Muhammad
Mustapha (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam).
It was in his Sadaqah that the entire universe came into existence. It was
for his welcome and to inform the creation of his
coming that Almighty Allah sent various other Prophets on earth. If Almighty
Allah had not sent the Holy Prophet (sallal laahu
alaihi wasallam), He would not have revealed His Rububiyah. He is the Noor of
Almighty Allah, Leader and Imam of the
Ambiya and the Rasools. He is the hope of the distraught and the intercessor for
the sinners. He is the Maalik of Jannah and the
distributor of the Ne'mahs of Almighty Allah. He is the pride and honour of the
skies and of the earth. The Throne and the rest
of the Universe rejoiced on the birth of Rasoolullah (sallal laahu alaihi
wasallam).
The Prophet (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam) is not only the perfect human, but
he is the splendour of humanity. He is not only
for a single nation, one city, one town or one country, but he is the mercy unto
the worlds until Qiyamah. All the successes and
benefits of the world are under the feet of Rasoolullah (sallal laahu alaihi
wasallam). All the levels and path that lead to
Almighty Allah find their basis from him. Thus, we should remember him in every
breath, on every step and in every time.
A Muslim may make much Salaah, keep much Roza and perform many Hajj as
possible, but until he does not make his heart
the city of love for the Holy Prophet (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam), his faith
is incomplete. It is the Hadith that none is a true
believer unless he loves the Prophet (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam) more than
his life, family, parents and belongings.
Almighty Allah loves the Prophet (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam) so dearly
that He swears an oath on the city, era and age of
the Prophet (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam). With His Name Allah always mentions
the name of the Holy Prophet (sallal
laahu alaihi wasallam), showing his excellence. When Almighty Allah spoke of
other Ambiya, He used their names, but for
Huzoor (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam) he used his blessed titles. He loves him
so dearly that He and His Angels send Salaams
for His Habeeb (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam).
Love for the Holy Prophet (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam) is love for Almighty
Allah. Without his obedience, there is no
obedience to Almighty Allah. Not only should we send Peace and Salutations, but
we should spread the teachings of his life
and the Sunnah of Rasoolullah (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam). It is useless
calling his name while being disobedient to him. If
you love him you will be steadfast in your Salaah. You will never lie and commit
sin. A true lover will never use anything that is
Haraam. He will always serve the Servants of Allah and follow the Sunnah of the
Holy Prophet (sallal laahu alaihi
wasallam).
He who loves him truly will not have pride and show disrespect to his elders.
He will always be patient and grateful. The reason
for this is that true love holds great tests and success is to accept the
beloved totally. True love and respect for the Holy
Prophet (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam) is the first condition of Imaan. May our
lives and death be blessed with the love of our
Prophet (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam). Aameen.
