I am absolutely delighted to see all of you, mā shā'a Llāh. May Allah bless you and protect you. May Allah use you for His work, in shā'a Llāh. And the thing I want to remind myself of you is that the position of youth, of young people, in Islam has always been very, very important. And if you read the seerah of Rasulullah s.a.w., how many of you have read the seerah? One, two, three, four, mā shā'a Llāh, good, good. Mā shā'a Llāh. So, the others who have not read the seerah, please make the intention that you will read at least one book, any book of the seerah, the biography of Rasulullah s.a.w. Say now we are almost at the end of this month, so say by the 30th of December, before this year ends, in shā'a Llāh, you will read at least one book of the seerah, of the life of Rasulullah s.a.w. Right? Okay? Do that. In shā'a Llāh. Because the thing is that to love Rasulullah s.a.w., to love Rasulullah s.a.w., not just to love him, but to love him more than we love anything else, is a requirement of Islam. It is something which we as Muslims, we do and we should do. But also, a theological requirement in Islam. This has been commanded by Allah s.w.t. in the Qur'an. Allah s.w.t. in surah Tawbah, Allah s.w.t. says, أَعُوذُ بِاللَّهِ مِنَ الشَّيْطَانِ الرَّضِيمِ قُلْ إِن كَانَ آبَاؤُكُمْ وَأَبْنَاؤُكُمْ وَإِخْوَانُكُمْ وَأَزْوَاجُكُمْ وَعْشِيرَتُكُمْ وَأَمْوَالُ لِتَّرَفْتُكُهَا وَتِجَارَةُكُمْ تَقْشَوْنَا كَسَادَهُمْ وَمَسَاكِنُ تَرْضَوْنَهُمْ أَحَبَّ إِلَيْكُمْ مِنَ اللَّهِ وَرَسُولِهِ وَالجَّهَادِ فِي سَبِيلِهِ فَتَرَبَّسُوا حَتَّى يَأْتِيَ اللَّهُ بِأَمْرِهِ وَاللَّهُ لَا يَهْدِي الْقَوْمَ الْفَاسِقِينَ Allah Subhanahu wa ta'ala said in Surah At-Tawbah Say to them, Ya Muhammad Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam قُلْ Say to them إِنْ كَانَ خَبَابُكُمْ If your fathers and mothers وَأَمْنَاوْلُ and your children وَإِخْوَانُكُمْ and your siblings وَأَزْوَاجُكُمْ and your spouses وَعَشِينَتُكُمْ and your extended family وَأَمْبَالُنِي تَرَفْتُمْهَا and the wealth that you accumulate وَتِجَارَةً تَخْشَوْنَا كَسَدْهَا and your tijara, your business and trade in which you fear a loss وَمَسَاكِنُ تَرْضَوْنَهَا and your houses, your palaces, your villas, your flats, your apartments which you build or you buy and you love them, you look at them, you feel happy about them أَحَبَّ إِلَيْكُمْ If these are more beloved to you أَحَبَّ إِلَيْكُمْ مِنَ اللَّهِ وَرَسُولِ More beloved to you than Allah and His Rasul Allah says فَتَرَبَّسُ Allah says get away Go away فَتَرَبَّسُ حَتَّى يَأْتِيَ اللَّهُ بِأَمْرِهِ Go away and wait for the Amr of Allah Wait for the Azab of Allah Wait for the punishment of Allah And then Allah real forces that and says وَاللَّهُ لَا يَهْدِ الْقَوْمَ الْفَاسِطِينَ Allah does not guide people who are rebellious Right? So the love of the Rasul ﷺ To love Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala And to love the Rasul ﷺ More than we love anyone and anything else Is not just a matter of discretion It's not just a matter of our nature It's a matter of our nature It's not because Rasul ﷺ was in any case a person Who is very easy to love Because he was such a beautiful being It is a religious requirement If somebody says I follow Islam But I'm sorry I don't love Rasul ﷺ This person is out of Islam This person has put himself in a place Where Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala promised punishment He has said I will punish Right? Now how can you love somebody you don't know? To love somebody you have to know the right You can't love a stranger That is the reason why it is important To read the life of Rasul ﷺ To read his seerah Now the beautiful thing you will see Those of you who have read the seerah You will agree with me Those of you who have not read the seerah But you read it you will agree with me The beautiful thing about the seerah of Rasul ﷺ That unlike anyone else In the world Rasul ﷺ the more you know him The more the closer you get to him The more you love him The more you respect him Now this is not true of anyone else In English we say familiarity breeds contempt Right? This happens with a lot of people You look at somebody from a distance And say oh ...
