Love of the Prophet

Verily, all praise is for Allah. We praise Him, we seek His assistance and we
ask for His forgiveness. And we seek refuge in Him from the evils of our
selves. Whoever Allah guides, none can misguide. Whoever He misguides,
none can guide. And I bear witness that there is no deity other than Allah
and I bear witness that Mohammad is His servant and messenger.

[102:عمران
Al Imran(3) 102 : O you who believe! Fear Allah as He should be feared, and
die not except in a state of Islam.
Oh Believers:
Indeed consciousness of Allah - exalted be He is a provision for the
believer in this world, and salvation and elevation on the Day of
Resurrection. Through it, sustenance is obtained, and distress is removed.
Allah Almighty said:
ُسب َ ْ َ َ ُ ْ َ ْ ُ ْ ُ ْ َ َ ً َ ْ َ ُ َ ْ َ ْ َ َ َّ َّ َ ْ َ َ
ِ يعل ل مرجا ويرزقه ِمن حيث > يت,ومن يتِق ا
Talaq (65) 2-3: (2) And whoever fears Allāh - He will make for him a way
out (3) And will provide for him from where he does not expect.
https://www.khutbah.info/ 1
Khutbah.info
And Allah Almighty said:
َ ﯾَْﺠﻌَْﻞ ﻟَﮫ ُ ِﻣْﻦ أ َْﻣِﺮِه ﯾُْﺴًﺮا, ِ َوَﻣْﻦ ﯾَﺘ ﱠ
ﻖ ﱠ
Talaq (65) 4: And whoever fears Allāh - He will make for him of his matter
ease.
It is from the generosity and blessings of Allah Almighty upon His servants
that He has granted them hearts that carry religious affection with which
they ascend to Him Almighty if they nurture and fill them with His love and
the love of His Messenger ﷺand do not separate between these two
loves in word, deed, and thought.
Indeed, the love of the Prophet ﷺis part of the love of Allah, and
someone who does not love His Prophet ﷺdoes not love Allah even if
they make the sternest of oaths that they love Allah. For Allah - the
Exalted and Glorious - says:
ُ ُ ُ ُ َ ْ ُ َّ ُ ُ ْ ْ ُ َّ َ َ َّ َ ُّ ُ ْ ُ ْ ُ ْ ْ ُ
َوَيغفِْر لكْم ذنوَبكْم, فاتب ُِعوِن يبِبكم ا, قل إ ِن كنتم تِبون ا
Al Imran (3) 31: Say, [O Muḥammad], "If you should love Allāh, then
follow me, [so] Allāh will love you and forgive you your sins. And Allāh is
Forgiving and Merciful
The Messenger of Allah ﷺis the leader of the children of Adam. He is
the guided mercy and the bestowed blessing. Whoever obeys him has
obeyed Allah. Allah Almighty said:
َ َ َ ْ َ َ َ ُ َّ
َ,َّع ا َمْن يُِطِع الرسول فقد أطا
An Nisa (4) 80: He who obeys the Messenger has obeyed Allāh.
And whoever pledges allegiance to the Prophet ﷺis actually pledging
allegiance to Allāh. Allah Almighty said:
https://www.khutbah.info/ 2
Khutbah.info
ِْ فَْوَق َأي ِْديهم,َّ يَُد ا, َ َ ُ َ ُ َ َّ َّ
َ َّ ك إَّنَما ُيَبايُعوَن ا ِ إ ِن ا
ِ ِ ِ لين يباي ِعون
Fath (48) 10: Indeed, those who pledge allegiance to you, [O
Muḥammad] - they are actually pledging allegiance to Allāh. The hand of
Allāh is over their hands.
And the Prophet’s ﷺjudgment is from the judgment of Allah. Allah
Almighty said:
َّسهْم َحَرًجا ِمما َُْ ُ َ َ َّ ُ ْ ُ َ ْ َ َ َ َ َ َ ُ ّ َ ُ َّ َ َ ُ ْ ُ َ َ ّ َ َ َ َ
ِ ِ يدوا ِف أنفِ > كموك فِيما شجر بينهم ثم ِ ورب ِك > يؤِمنون حت يiف
َ ّ َ َ
ت َوي َُسل ُِموا تْسل ِيًما
َ ْض ي ق
Nisa (4) 65: But no, by your Lord, they will not [truly] believe until they
make you, [O Muḥammad], judge concerning that over which they
dispute among themselves and then find within themselves no
discomfort from what you have judged and submit in [full, willing]
submission.
The elevation of the Ummah, its strength, honor, and eminence all
depend upon the extent of their love for the Prophet ﷺin word and
deed, both outwardly and inwardly. Whoever reads the history of the
Ummah, which is full of victory, empowerment, and elevation, will be
convinced of the truth of this matter.
If a community’s love for the Prophet ﷺweakens and its support for him
ﷺdiminishes, it is deserving of humiliation and degradation, and other
communities will prevail over it. How not, when the Prophet ﷺsays:
َ ْ َﺠﺎس أ
َﻤﺟﻌﻦﻴ 0 َ َ َ ََ ْ َْ 0 َ َ َ ُ َ 0 َ ْ ُ ُ َ َ ُ ُْ َ

None of you has believed until I am dearer to him than his son, his father
and all the people. [Muslim 44b]
https://www.khutbah.info/ 3
Khutbah.info
And Allah Almighty said:
ً ََ َ
َ ِ } ال ُْمْؤِمن َ ْ ُ َّ َ َ ْ َ ْ َ َ
iي َسب ِي ل ِلكف ِِرين, ولن يعل ا
Nisa (4) 141: And never will Allāh give the disbelievers over the believers
a way [to overcome them].
Whoever reflects upon this verse and this hadith will realize that whoever
loves the Messenger ﷺhas believed, and whoever believes, the
disbelievers will have no way over them, whether they are individuals or
communities.
It does not follow from this that if the Ummah weakens due to a lack of
complete love and support for the Prophet ﷺ, it is evidence of their
hatred for him. No, this is a misunderstanding. Rather, what is meant is the
absence of perfect love that makes his command, judgment, and support
take precedence over everything else. For evils are present to the extent
of deficiencies in the complete love for him ﷺ. Allah Almighty says:
َ ُِ صيَبُهْم ف ِتَْنٌة أَْو ي ُ ْ َ ْ َ ْ َ َ ُ َ ُ َ َّ َ ْ َ ْ َ
ٌصيَبُهْم َعَذاٌب أِلم ِ لين يال ِفون عن أمرِه ِ أن ت
ِ فليحذرِ ا
Nur (24) 63: So let those beware who dissent from his [i.e., the Prophet's]
order, lest fitnah strike them or a painful punishment.
The Prophet ﷺheld Umar’s hand, and Umar said to him: “O Messenger
of Allah! You are more beloved to me than anything except myself.” The
Prophet ﷺsaid:
0 َ َ ُ0 َ ُ َ ُ َُ َ َ َ َ ْ َ ْ َ َْ 0 َ َ َ ُ َ 0 َ َ َْ 0 َ َ

No, by Him in Whose Hand my soul is, (you will not have complete faith)
till I am dearer to you than your own self. Then `Umar said to him, "Now,
https://www.khutbah.info/ 4
Khutbah.info
by Allah, you are dearer to me than my own self." The Prophet ﷺ
said, Now, O Umar (you are a believer). [Bukhari 6632]
The love of the Prophet ﷺis not a fanciful notion, nor is it an
unbearable obligation. Rather, it is spirituality, relaxation, and happiness
that only those granted it can feel. Only those with dead hearts will be
indifferent to it or belittle it. This is the characteristic of the hard-hearted,
the cruel, and those dedicated to this worldly life who fill their hearts with
things that distract them from him ﷺ. Allah (Glory be to Him) has linked
the happiness of both worlds to following him ﷺ, and has linked the
misery of both worlds to disobeying him ﷺ. For his followers there is
guidance, security, and success, honor and sufficiency, pleasure and
guardianship, support, and a good life in this world and the hereafter.
And for his opposers, there is humiliation, pettiness, fear, misguidance,
betrayal, and misery in this world and the Hereafter.

I say what you have heard and I seek forgiveness from Allah for me and you
from every sin. So seek forgives from Him, Verily He is Oft-Forgiving, the
Most Merciful.

Oh people:

Be conscious of Allah and know that loving the Prophet ﷺwithout
following him is nothing but a mere claim that does not go beyond the
throat of its claimant. How is it possible that the arrogant have love of the
Prophet !?ﷺAnd the Prophet ﷺwas the best of those who humbled
himself for Allah.
How is it possible that wrongdoers love him !?ﷺAnd he ﷺwas the
most just of people.
And where is the love of the traitor.. and where is the love of the thief..
and that of the killer.. and many others?!
Is it not disappointing and a loss that inanimate objects and animals are
more conscious of his prophetic station than some humans who have
minds and reasoning abilities ?!
Indeed, the Prophet ﷺsaid:
َ ْ ُ ُ ْ َ َ ِّ َ َ ْ ُ ْ َ َ ْ َ 0 َ َ ُ ِّ َ ُ َ َ َ 0 َ ً َ َ ُ ْ َ َ ِّ

I know a stone in Mecca that used to greet me before I was sent; I know
it now. [Muslim 2277]
And Ali ibn Abi Talib, may Allah be pleased with him, narrated:
ََ ٌََ َََُْ ْ َ َ َ ََ َْ َ ْ َ َ َ َ 0 َ َ 0 َ َ ْ َ َ ُ 0 0 َ ِّ 0 َ َ ُ ْ ُ

I was with the Prophet ﷺin Mecca, and we came out to some of its
niches, and there was no mountain or tree that did not greet him saying:
Peace be upon you, O Messenger of Allah. [Tirmithi 3626, Grade: Sahih
(Albani)]
https://www.khutbah.info/ 6
Khutbah.info
And if you marvel, at the greetings of the inanimate objects and their
longing for him ﷺ, marvel at when the Prophet ﷺentered a garden
belonging to a man from the Ansar and saw a camel, which upon seeing
the Prophet ﷺaffectionally shed tears. Then the Messenger of Allah
ﷺdescended, wiped his chest and back and said: “Who owns this
camel?” A young man from the Ansar came and said: “It is I.” He said:
ُ ُ ْ ُ َ ُ ُ ُ َ 0َ َ َ َ َ 0َ َ َ َ ُ 0 َ َ 0 ُ 0 َ َ 0 َ 0 َ َْ َ َ 0 0َ َ

Do you not fear Allah regarding this animal that Allah has made for you?
For it has complained to me and claimed that you are starving it and
overburdening it. [Abu Dawood 2549, Grade: Sahih (Arnaout)]
Are people not ashamed to hear the magnification of the Prophet ﷺ
from animals, while they are incapable of venerating him, leading them to
falter in supporting him and protecting his honor from mockery and
criticism of his Sunnah and his ordainments.
Al-Hasan al-Basri said: “O assembly of Muslims! The wood longs for the
Messenger of Allah ﷺwith longing to meet him. You are more
deserving of longing for him.”
So how can the one who does not love him ﷺ, long for him?! And how
can the one who does not support him, long for him?! And how can the
one who feels burdened by his commands and prohibitions long for him
?!
We ask Allah to make us among those who love and support the Prophet.
Indeed Allah is All Hearing, Answering.

I conclude with this and send prayers of blessings and peace upon your
Prophet as your Lord commanded:

decree and none can decree over You. He whom You support can never be
humiliated. Glory is to You, our Lord, You are Blessed and Exalted.

O Allah, We ask You for all that is good, in this world and in the Hereafter,
what we know and what we do not know. O Allah, we seek refuge with You
from all evil, in this world and in the Hereafter, what we know and what we
do not know. O Allah, we ask You for the good that Your servant and
Prophet has asked You for, and we seek refuge with You from the evil from
which Your servant and Prophet sought refuge. O Allah, we ask You for
Paradise and for that which brings one closer to it, in word and deed, and
we seek refuge in You from Hell and from that which brings one closer to it,
in word and deed. And we ask You to make every decree that You decree
concerning us good.

difficult matters. And, establish the prayer.
