Jumu`ah Khutbah

Alhamdulillahi ’Lladhee hadaana li ’l-Islami wa maa kunna li-nahtadeea law laa an hadaan ’Llah, alhamdulillahi `alaa ni`amihi zhaahiran wa baatina. Alhamdulillahi Rabbi 'l-`alameen, was-salaatu was-salaamu `alaa ashrafi 'l-mursaleen, Sayyidina wa Nabiyyina Muhammadin wa `alaa aalihi wa sahbihi ajma`een. Allahu Akbar, Allahu Akbar, laa ilaaha illa-’Llah, Allahu Akbar, Allahu Akbar, wa lillahi 'l-hamd! Allahuma salli `alaa Sayyidina Muhammad. Allahuma salli wa sallim wa baarik `alaa habeebika wa nabiyyika, Sayyidina Muhammad (s). Ash-hadu an laa ilaaha illa-Llah, wa ash-hadu anna Muhammadan `abduhu wa habeebuhu wa rasooluh.

As-salaamu `alaykum wa rahmatullahi wa barakaatuh. Ayyuha ’l-mu’minoon wa ‘l-haadiroon. itaqullaha ta`ala wa ati`ooh inna’Llah ma` ‘Lladheena’t-taqaw wa’Lladheena hum muhsinoon.

Bismillahi ‘r-Rahmani ‘r-Raheem alam nashrah laka sadrak wa wada`na `anka wizrak alladhee anqada zhahrak wa ra fa’na laka dhikrak….Inna Allah wa malaa’ikatahu yusalloona `alaa an-nabiyy, ya ayyuhalladheena aamanoo salloo `alayhi wa salimoo taslima….

O Believers! What I read just now, three ahadeeth of Prophet (s), shows the greatness of Sayyidina Muhammad (s), of what Allah (swt) gave to him:

عن البراء بن عازب رضي الله عنه فقال أحمد بن عمرو بن أبي عاصم حدثنا يعقوب بن حميد حدثنا حاتم بن إسماعيل عن محمد بن عبيد الله عن مولى البراء بن عازب عن البراء أن النبي قال من صلى علي كتب له عشر حسنات ومحي عنه بها عشر سيئات ورفعه بها عشر درجات وكن له عدل عشر رقاب

Allah has given the authority that anyone who prays on him one time, Allah (swt) will give to Prophet (s) authority to pray on them ten times!

عن عائشة رضي الله عنها، قالت : قال رسول الله !ي! : "ما من عبد صلى علي صلاة إلا عرج بها ملك حتى يجيء بها وجه الرحمن عز وجل ، فيقول ربنا تبارك وتعالى : اذهبوا بها إلى قبر عبدي تستغفر لصاحبها وتقر بها عينه ".

Also Sayyida `Aisha (r) related that the Prophet (s) said,"That if any person makes one salawaat on Prophet (s), Allah (swt) will create one angel that will praise Prophet (s) until the Day of Judgment, and those praises will be written for the one who prayed on Prophet (s) and Allah will order the angels, "Go to the grave of my servant and seek forgiveness for him and give coolness to his eyes.".

عن أبي بكر الصديق رضي الله عنه قال سمعت رسول الله في حجة الوداع يقول إن الله تعالى قد وهب لكم ذنوبكم عند الاستغفار فمن استغفر بنية صادقة غفر له ومن قال لا إله إلا الله رجح ميزانه ومن صلى علي كنت شفيعه يوم القيامة

From Sayyidina Abu Bakr as-Siddiq (r) that the Prophet (s) in the Farewell Hajj said: "Verily Allah has given forgiveness to you for your sins when you seek forgiveness, so whoever seeks forgiveness with a sincere heart Allah will forgive, and whoever says la ilaha ill 'Llah, his Scale will be filled, and whoever praised me, I will be his intercessor on the Day or Rising."

عن سهل بن سعد - رضي الله عنه - قال: جاء رجل إلى النبي - صلى الله عليه وسلم - فشكا إليه الفقر وضيق المعاش فقال له النبي - صلى الله عليه وسلم -: إذا دخلت منزلك فسلم إن كان فيه أحد أو لم يكن فيه أحد ثم سلم علي واقرأ قل هو الله أحد مرة واحدة ، ففعل الرجل ذلك فأدر الله عليه الرزق حتى أفاض على جيرانه وقراباته روى ذلك أبو موسى المديني في كتابه عن الصلاة على النبي - صلى الله عليه وسلم -.

Regarding anyone who has a problem in his financial situation, like a man who came to the Prophet (s) and complained, "Yaa Rasoolullah! I am a poor person, I don't have anything, I am not wealthy, I cannot afford to serve my children and raise my family," Prophet (s) said, "When you enter your home make salaam, then if someone is inside, you make salaam for that person and if there is no one inside, even then make salaam and also make salaam on me when you enter your home, then read Surat-ul Ikhlaas one time, Qul Huw Allahu Ahad." That man did that and after a while Allah (swt) showered him with rizq and gave him all kinds of wealth because he was following what Prophet ordered, to make salawaat on Prophet (s) when he entered his house.

O Muslims, O Believers! Allah (swt) is showing the greatness of His Prophet, Sayyidina Muhammad, (s), whereby He raised him and his name; He raised him to qaaba qawsayni aw adna (two bows'-length or nearer). May Allah (swt) keep us on the way of our Prophet (s), following his sunnah and following the guidance of our shaykh, Mawlana Shaykh Nazim Adil al-Haqqani, may Allah give him long life.

aqoolu qawlee hadha wa astagfirullah al-`azheem lee wa lakum fa yaa fawzan li ’l-mustaghfireen astagfirullah…

Whever you hear the name of the Prophet (s) make salaat on him!.
