Habib Umar Ibn Hafiz

Luton

All praise is due to Allah

Some of the companions saw the Prophet (peace and blessings upon him) happy they asked why? He said that no one says prayers upon the Prophet (peace and blessings upon him) expect that Allah (Subhanu wa Ta’ala) sends blessing on that person ten times.

The question we need to ask ourselves this joy of his, does this have any connection with us?

The Prophet (peace and blessings upon him) was happy for all of us

Whatever joy we feel about him, his (peace and blessings upon him) joy has forgone our own joy

We got our joy from the Prophet (peace and blessings upon him) because Allah (Subhanu wa Ta’ala) sent joy through his messenger (peace and blessings upon him)

We show our joy at the command of Allah (Subhanu wa Ta’ala) in the Quran “O Prophet inform about the blessings and mercy (that Allah has given) and this be joyous

A man called Rabi ibn Hatam (May Allah Ta’ala be pleased with him) walked so humbly that people thought he was blind, Abdullah Ibn Masud (May Allah Ta’ala be pleased with him) brought this man up, Ibn Masud’s maiden thought he was blind and when he came to Ibn Masud’s house she said “your blind friend has come.”

The more one immerses himself in the deen, the more joy they get.

We must carry the beauty of the sacred law with us

Purify your intentions and repent to Allah (Subhanu wa Ta’ala)

Feel the presence of Allah (Subhanu wa Ta’ala) with you all the time and realise that he can see what is in your heart and ask Allah (Subhanu wa Ta’ala) that he will allow us to see the Prophet (peace and blessings upon him) in our dreams and on the day of judgement
