 Auto-generated transcript:In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. All praise is due to Allah, Lord of the worlds. We praise Him, we ask for His help, we ask for His forgiveness, we believe in Him, we trust in Him, and we seek refuge in Allah from the evils of our souls and from the evil deeds of our deeds. Whomsoever Allah guides, no one is misguided from Him, and whosoever He guides, no one is guided from Him. And after that, my brothers and sisters, help us. We are looking at the rights of the Messenger of Allah on his Ummah, meaning on us. And as I mentioned before, the issue with rights is that if somebody has a right on you, and you do not fulfill that right, then you are culpable, you are punishable if Allah wants to punish. We ask Allah to save us from that, because of all the rights, the rights of the people, the rights of creation, the number one first right is the right of Rasulullah . We spoke about the first right, the first right of Allah. The first of them, adab ul-ihtiram, the respect and honour that is due to Him . Today we will speak about the second of them, which is itaat, to obey Him without question. Allah said that He sent His Anbiya to be obeyed. This is not blind following, but obedience with the knowledge of who we are obeying and why. And this is not a new system, you need to follow it completely, not partially, not selectively. That change is to move from living by our desires to living by the command of Allah . Allah said, وَمَا أَرْسَلْنَا مِنْ رَسُولٍ إِلَّا لِيُتَاعَ بِإِذْنِ اللَّهِ Allah said, we have sent no Messenger but to be obeyed by the command and leave of Allah. That is why Abu Hurayrah reported, that Rasulullah said in a Hadith, Sahih Hadith which is recorded in Bukhari, Everyone from my nation will enter Jannah except those who refuse. Everyone from my nation, from the Ummah will enter Jannah except those who refuse. So they asked him, Ya Rasulullah, who will refuse? He said, whoever obeys me enters Jannah. Whoever disobeys has refused. May Allah grant us the Tawfiq not to refuse to enter Jannah. I remind myself and you that the most common reason we refuse to obey Rasulullah is because of our slavery to our desires, to our Nufus, to our Nafs. The question is to ask yourself this question and say, is whatever we want to do that is against the command of Rasulullah and can result in our being listed as a Nafs? In our being listed among those who refuse to enter Jannah, is it worth that price? Is it worth that price? Allah made it a condition of Iman, of faith itself, that not only should we accept every judgement of Rasulullah without question, but we must not even feel any resistance in our hearts or we risk being out of Islam. Now this is a condition that is unique to the judgment of Rasulullah. Which indicates his position and the importance of obeying him totally. Because in the Sharia, it's only what you say and what you do which becomes possibly culpable, which you are accountable for, not what is in your heart, not what you feel and not what you think. Except when it comes to the judgments of Rasulullah . In the case of anything which the Nabi ruled, even thinking and feeling against it is, an issue of great importance and great problem as far as Allah is concerned. I am talking about blind obedience versus obedience with knowledge. The most common, the most simple, the easiest way to understand is the standpoint from which you obey a physician without question. Not because you are doing blind obedience, but because you trust him. Because you know his training, you know who he is, and you know that he has the knowledge. He has your best intentions of heart. And so he tells you to do something, you do that. You follow his advice. You don't argue with that. Now Rasulullah in the same way, with the greater magnitude that as far as the physician is concerned, is something which cures an ailment, maybe it's a life-saving thing. Life is saved by Allah ,
