His Mission

{2{

It is He Who has sent amongst

the Unlettered a messenger

from among themselves

who recites to them His

communications and

purifies them, and

teaches them the Book and

the Wisdom,

although they were before

certainly in clear error,


5/47


His Mission to recite!

Same verses are recited today! Do we care tounderstand them as they are recited?

Can we even recite the way he recited? (withtajweed!). Or we cant even read because

we just dont read it. Dont have time!


6/47


His Mission to teach

He was Muallim (teacher). Then who should behis students? Us!!! Are we not too busy!

In other words, we are saying: O Prophet(pbuh), you may be Muallim but we donthave time to be your student (to learn

Quran)!

Or is his prophethood was limited to his timesonly (i.e., we dont need to be students)?


7/47



We have two things with us:

1. Al-Quran - Theory

2. Sunnah from the Saheb-e-Quran (Theman of Al-Quran) Practical

Demonstration as to how to liveaccording to Al-Quran.


8/47www.understandquran.com 8

So our task is Learn it &

Convey it to a Billion Muslims

The Best of you is the one who learns theQuran and teaches it (to others)

I am sent as a teacher!



So our task is Learn it &

Convey it to a Billion Muslims

We have to be a part of his mission!

The task is huuuuuuuuge. Almost a billionMuslims (82% Muslims are non-Arabs) justdont understand the Arabic Quran.

Translations contain the message but theyare not Al-Quran.

All of us need get to be ready to do the job.



And the Next Task is

Convey it To Non-Muslims Almost 6Billions!!!!

Convey from me even an Ayah of the Qur'an[Bukhari].

We dont even understand it ourselves nor do weinteract with it daily! How can we convey it to

others?



His Mission to do Tazkiah

Tazkiah: Purfication

Tazkiah is removal of wrong things and infusionof right things and that too step by step(like a farmer)

He purified the lives of Sahabah in all aspects; intheir creed, thinking, morals, dealings,



His Mission to do Tazkiah

We need to know it first (through ahadeeth andSeerah)

And do it for ourselves and then on others toowhom we care (with wisdom ).




HikmahHikmah: Sunnah / Understanding of Shariah

Both of these are in Hadith and Seerah.

We need to know it and teach it as well to

others.



His Tasks

Dawah to everyone

Tazkiah of those who accepted him as the

Prophet. Implementation (of Allahs commandments)

in individual and collective life.

That should be our mission too, if webelieve in him, if we love him, if wereally follow him,


15/47

2. His Rights on usor

Our Obligations to Him,

pbuh
http://images.google.com/imgres?imgurl=http://www.hizb.org.uk/images/prophets_mosque.jpg&imgrefurl=http://www.hizb.org.uk/events/index.php%3Fid%3DC0_121_18&h=150&w=200&sz=22&tbnid=r0PgKIdTSwOAOM:&tbnh=74&tbnw=99&hl=en&start=18&prev=/images%3Fq%3Dprophets%2Bmosque%26svnum%3D10%26hl%3Den%26lr%3D%26safe%3Dactive



His Rights on usOur Obligations to him (pbuh).

(157)

So (as for) those who believe in him and

honor him and help him, and follow the light which

has been sent downwith him,

these it is that are thesuccessful .



To be successful, we need todo all the 4 !!!

1. Believe in him : (Accept everything thathe brought)

2. Honor him: (includes loving him)3. Help him: (in his mission)

4. Follow the light (Al-Quran) which has

been sent down with him,



The 3rd one: Help him

- Wa-nasaroohu (pluralTeamwork!)

If you fail to plan, you plan to fail.Helping the Prophet pbuh in his mission can not be done

by scattered individuals. It has to be a team

work.

Example: Construction a building! not possible withoutplanning, coordination, execution, follow-up,

Helping the Prophet pbuh is a huuuuge task again.

Cant be done while each one of us sits in his

home.

3. Start now withtime, money, team
http://images.google.com/imgres?imgurl=http://www.islamfortoday.com/images/Prophets_Mosque_Madinah.jpg&imgrefurl=http://www.islamfortoday.com/companions.htm&h=336&w=505&sz=29&tbnid=KJ217S8qAYGw2M:&tbnh=85&tbnw=128&hl=en&start=3&prev=/images%3Fq%3Dprophets%2Bmosque%26svnum%3D10%26hl%3Den%26lr%3D%26safe%3Dactive



So Start with Time

To know the Prophet pbuh, give time, toread, to listen

Example To Love the Prophet pbuh Impossible to love someone without

knowing him ENOUGH.



Example Loving the

Prophet pbuh

The Prophet is closer to the Believers than their

own selves [33:6].

No one of you becomes a true believer until I

become more beloved to him than his father,his children, and all the people



Example Loving the

Prophet pbuh

Allah knew the love of the Prophet pbuh on hisUmmah and that is why He asked us to lovehim.

The Prophet pbuh was more kind to us than we areto ourselves

Our selves (nafoos) call us toward fire, and he pbuhcalled us towards Jannah. He showed us the path

to salvation



Example Loving the

Prophet pbuh

The Prophet pbuh said:

My example is like the example of a person who

kindled fire. When it lighted, moths and insectsaround it started falling into the fire. The man tried(his best) to prevent them, (from falling into thefire)



Example Loving the

Prophet pbuh

When he was alive, he carried the burdens of thisUmmah while the Ummah enjoyed the life:

He said:

if a true believer dies and leaves behind someproperty, it will be for his inheritors (from thefathers side), and if he leaves behind some debt tobe paid or needy offspring, then they should cometo me as I am the guardian of the deceased.



Example Loving the

Prophet pbuh

His continuous sacrifice has a direct link to mebeing a Muslim.

He reserved a special accepted prayer for theUmmah, for us, on the day of judgment.

So if we know about him, we can do what hewanted us to do.

Therefore start reading books on Seerah andAhadeeth!



Budget for..

32/47


Following the Prophet pbuh

Following the Prophet is:

Easy in Non-challenging situations (Relatively)

The way he slept, he sat, he ate

Challenging in Tough Situations of our life:

Remember 10 stories of Prophet pbuh for 10such tough situations

2 Examples


33/47



Example -1 : How he lived with those whodid not let him go according to his plan

Battle of Uhud His plan was to defend and not

go out. But a good number persisted to go out.


34/47



Example -1 : How he lived with those who didnot let him go according to his plan

After so many casualties in Uhud, he never saidanything to them who wanted to go out.

Comments by Allah

{159{


35/47



Thus it is due to mercy from Allah that you dealwith them gently, and had you been rough, hard

hearted, they would certainly have dispersedfrom around you; pardon them therefore andask pardon for them, and take counsel with

them in the affair; so when you have decided,then place your trust in Allah; surely Allah loves

those who trust. [3:159]

How many times do we follow this example!


36/47



Example -2 : How he lived with those who did notlet him go according to his plan

The captives of Banu Qaynuqaa and Abdullah binUbis role in releasing the captives.

When it comes to living with hypocrites, how dowe interact with them? Give them names?Insult them? Ask Allah to kill them?


37/47



Similarly, do I remember an example from his life:

When I am angry (how many times I did that lastweek?)

When confronted with false allegations

When faced with death or sickness

Evaluate these aspects in terms of how I didin the past week!!! Not just keeping them

separate from my real life.
