'In the footsteps of the chosen one'

(May Allah reward the donator, Ummu Alwi.)

RasululLah (peace and blessings be upon him) is perfect in his attributes.. kareem, raheem, manaan

All the Rasool are the role model for us.. for eg Nabi Musa(AS) in
his perfection that he reached, he can cure people from sickness; and
Nabi Isa (AS) raise people from dead.. as if Allah is saying that this
is my people whom I give the power (as a manifestation of My power)

If we follow these role model, we'll gain eternal happiness.

Whatever area we're in.. we can follow the example from RasululLah (peace and blessings be upon him).. ie if we're leader or a teacher or parents.. we can alaways follow him (peace and blessings be upon him)

All the recent discovery is a confirmation of Allah.. 'sanurihim ayatina fil afaqi wa anfusihim'.. al-afaq is what they can see in RasululLah's (peace and blessings be upon him) time.. but in our time it means the universe because we have the knowledge beyond what we can see (in term of the universe).. and the 'sin' in sanurihim it means the future ~ ie Allah will continue to show the signs in the universe and in ourselves..

Eternal happiness (felicity).. the secret lies in our souls.. it will continued to be renewed from time to time.. in death, after death and hereafter..

We can get the nafahat through attending gathering, through prayer and the qur'an.

Mankind will always be tested with 1. intellect 2. feelings

RasululLah (peace and blessings be upon him) is always in the state of happiness and radha with Allah even at Uhud when blood pouring from his face..

Sayidina Bilal.. even one day before his death.. he was very happy..because he was going to meet RasululLah (peace and blessings be upon him)

Allah places strength in certain things.. for eg Zamazam water.. RasululLah (peace and blessings be upon him) said.. we get what we intend for when we drink Zamzam..

Sayidinna Umar made the intention when he drinks Zamzam to release the thirst in Day of Resurrection..

Abu Quhafah.. when he was in the prison far away from his homeland..everyday his father went to the edge of the city every prayer time and said 'al-salat'.. he heard it every time, and he prayed.. after three years they were gathered together.. it is because of the connection of their hearts.. And we have the ability to do the same.. but most of us switch it off.. like a person who have mobile phones.. he switched it
off.. even though people gave him sms and called him.. he will never get it.

The best thing to follow RasululLah (peace and blessings be upon him) is his akhlaq.. A man used to insult RasululLah (peace and blessings be upon him).. he even covered his face with cloth when he saw RasululLah (peace and blessings be upon him).. but when he died, his son came to RasululLah (peace and blessings be upon him)
to pray over his deceased father.. Sayidina Umar protested saying that
this man alaways insult RasululLah (peace and blessings be upon him)... but it didn't affect RasululLah (peace and blessings be upon him). the son even asked for RasuluLah's cloth to cover his father.. RasululLah (peace and blessings be upon him) gave his rida' and even lead the prayer..

There's lots of hidden secrets and treasures in Rasul's adkaar, like 'La Hawla wa la quwwata illa bilLah'..

Inshallah may all these benefit everyone of us. May Allah forgive me for my mistakes in transmitting these.
