Mubarak the holy month of our Holy Prophet ﷺ Rabi ul-Awwal. Its name is beautiful. It means spring. The holy month of birth of our Holy Prophet ﷺ is the month of spring. Everything is blessed, and Barakah comes to this world with the light of our Holy Prophet ﷺ
The love of our Holy Prophet ﷺ is according to the Iman of people. He ﷺ says, “A person doesn’t have true Iman unless he loves me more than himself, his mother and father, and this world.” He may be Muslim. But it is important to have Iman. And Iman comes with the love of our Holy Prophet ṣallá Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam. People who don’t have love and respect for him ﷺ don’t have Iman.
Muslims have Islam. They say “La ilaha illa Llah Muhammadun RasuluLlah”, but they haven’t reached Iman. Iman comes only with the love of our Holy Prophet ṣalláLlāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam. With his ﷺ love, with honoring and respecting him ﷺ our Iman is strengthened. Otherwise, our Iman remains on the lowest level. A person doesn’t even have Iman then.
Our Holy Prophet ṣallá Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam says ”لا يُؤمِنُ أَحَدُكُم“ -“A person who doesn’t love me more than himself, his family, his mother and father, his children and this world doesn’t have Iman.” He has Islam. But as we said, the level of Iman is
important. The stronger the Iman of a person, the better everything is for him. Everything is easy for him. Everything is perfect with the love of Allah ﷻ and the love of our Holy Prophet ﷺ
May Allah ﷻ not take this Iman and love out of our hearts. May our love and respect to our Holy Prophet ṣallá Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam increase day by day insha’Allah.
May we not obey these mindless people. They say he ﷺ is a human just like us. He ﷺ is a human like you. But as Sayyidina Imam Al-Busayri says, our Holy Prophet ﷺ is a ruby. Ruby is a stone. But other stones; all the stones of this world are not worth one ruby.
Therefore, he ﷺ is a human like us, but he ﷺ is worth universes. May Allah ﷻ let us attain his ﷺ intercession insha’Allah. May He ﷻ increase his ﷺ love insha’Allah.
Wa min Allah at-Tawfiq. Al-Fatiha.
