Love Part 3<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n

Love is The Solution!<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n

If you look at the world today, everyone agrees that there are four categories of people that are marginalized: women, children, the elderly, and animals. The solution to our problems is not in rules or regulations; we have enough of that. Rather, it is in re-activating these core values of Islam. That is the solution to our individual problems, the problems of the Ummah and the problems of Humanity.<\/p>\n

Today you have different feminist groups or agendas, and they talk about fighting for Women\u2019s Rights. But there is no feminist in the world and there will be none up to the Day of Qiyaamah, or any person championing the Rights of Women who can bring you the statement, the likes of what was uttered by the Prophet \ufdfa when he said the best of you, \u062e\u0650\u064a\u064e\u0627\u0631\u064f\u0643\u064f\u0645, \u201cthe best of you are those who are the best to their womenfolk.\u201d But not only was it an instruction, the Nabi of All\u0101h practiced upon what he preached. He said: \u2018I am the best of you when it comes to treating my womenfolk.\u2019<\/p>\n

When the noble wife of Rasoolullah \ufdfa, Maymoonah \u0631\u064e\u0636\u0650\u064a\u064e \u0627\u0644\u0644\u0647\u064f \u0639\u064e\u0646\u0647\u064e\u0627,\u00a0 was towards the end of her illness, she told her family, \u2018I have one desire\u2019 They said, \u2018What is it?\u2019 and this was many years after the demise of Rasoolullah \ufdfa, she said, \u2018Take me to the place where I spent my first night with my beloved husband \ufdfa\u2019. Rasoolullah \ufdfa taught us how to show love for women.<\/p>\n

He taught us love for children. The Nabi of Allah SAW went into Sajda, and the Sajda became so long that the Sahaba feared that the Nabi of Allah SAW had passed on. When some of them lifted their heads to see what was happening, they realised that the Nabi of Allah SAW was delaying his Sajda because his grandchildren were playing on his back.<\/p>\n

He taught us the love for animals. Today we have institutions wherein governments have indicated budgets for animal rights. Rasoolullah \ufdfa travelled with the Sahaba and they stopped to perform Salaah. The Nabi of Allah went to get ready. One Sahabi saw a bird with a few chicks and the chicks looked cute, so took the small birds away. When the Nabi of Allah came back, the mother was fluttering her wings, He asked: \u2018Who has caused inconvenience to this bird? Return the children immediately\u2019. Return these baby birds to the mother, do not cause inconvenience to any creation of Allah.<\/p>\n

When it came to the elderly, the Nabi of All\u0101h said,<\/p>\n

\u0627\u064e\u0644\u0628\u064e\u0631\u064e\u0643\u064e\u0629\u064f \u0645\u064e\u0639\u064e \u0623\u064e\u0643\u064e\u0627\u0628\u0650\u0631\u0650\u0643\u064f\u0645<\/p>\n

The barakah is with your elderly<\/p>\n

It\u2019s difficult to look after people when they are elderly, both emotionally as well as physically. When people become old, they become stubborn and obstinate and are often unreasonable. However, you should do it because your Barakah and the Barakah of your progeny is in looking after your elders.<\/p>\n

They say the solution to the problems of Humanity is in peace. There is no doubt about this. But what is peace? Is peace the mere absence of violence?<\/p>\n

Peace is a holistic concept wherein you must be in a state of peace emotionally, mentally and physically. You must live with each other in a harmonious way. The environment should radiate with peace. All actions must be conducted in a peaceful way. That is the kind of peace you can never achieve if you do not have love.<\/p>\n

When the Nabi of All\u0101h was sent to Arabia as a messenger, it was an environment that was dominated by violence, oppression, and force. How did the Nabi of Allah SAW conquer not only the people of Arabia, but the hearts of the people of Arabia in twenty-three years? Not by the might of the sword but through love, compassion, tolerance, and leniency; the core values of our Deen. We have forgotten the verses where Allah says, \u0648\u064e\u0627\u062e\u0652\u0641\u0650\u0636\u0652 \u062c\u064e\u0646\u064e\u0627\u062d\u064e\u0643\u064e \u0644\u0650\u0644\u0652\u0645\u064f\u0624\u0652\u0645\u0650\u0646\u0650\u064a\u0646\u064e \u2018Lower your wing for the Believers.\u2019<\/p>\n

Be tolerant. Be easy-going. Be lenient. One day Nabi \ufdfa said to the Sahaba, \u2018Should I not inform you of that person, who is Haraam for the fire of Jahannum and the fire of Jahannum is Haraam for him?\u2019 The Sahaba RA replied, \u2018Of course, Ya Rasoolullah!\u2019 He said:<\/p>\n

\u0639\u064e\u0644\u064e\u0649 \u0643\u064f\u0644\u0651\u0650 \u0642\u064e\u0631\u0650\u064a\u0628\u064d \u0647\u064e\u064a\u0651\u0650\u0646\u064d \u0633\u064e\u0647\u0652\u0644 \u201cThat person who remains close to people.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u2018Ya Aaishah\u2019, the Nabi of Allah said to his wife, \u2018\u0625\u0650\u0646\u0651\u064e \u0627\u0644\u0644\u0651\u064e\u0647\u064e \u0631\u064e\u0641\u0650\u064a\u0642\u064c \u064a\u064f\u062d\u0650\u0628\u0651\u064f \u0627\u0644\u0631\u0651\u0650\u0641\u0652\u0642\u064e\u2019,<\/p>\n

\u2018Allah is soft, Allah is loving; Allah wants you to be soft, Allah wants you to be loving.\u2019<\/p>\n

\u0635\u0650\u0644\u0652 \u0645\u064e\u0646\u0652 \u0642\u064e\u0637\u064e\u0639\u064e\u0643<\/p>\n

Build ties with those who are breaking ties with you.<\/p>\n

\u0648\u064e \u0627\u0639\u0652\u0641\u064f \u0639\u064e\u0646 \u0645\u0651\u064e\u0646\u0652 \u0638\u064e\u0644\u064e\u0645\u064e\u0643<\/p>\n

Forgive those who do wrong to you.<\/p>\n

\u0648\u064e \u0627\u064e\u062d\u0652\u0633\u0650\u0646\u0652 \u0625\u0650\u0644\u064e\u0649 \u0645\u064e\u0646\u0652 \u0623\u064e\u0633\u064e\u0622\u0621\u064e \u0625\u0650\u0644\u064e\u064a\u0652\u0643<\/p>\n

Be good to those who are not good to you.<\/p>\n

There is also the Sunnah of Rasoolullah \ufdfa. The Sunnah of love.<\/p>\n

Allah says, \u2018You will be my Beloved if you love others for My sake.\u2019 The Nabi of Allah said, \u2018You are not a true Believer, \u062d\u064e\u062a\u064e\u0651\u0649 \u064a\u064f\u062d\u0650\u0628\u064e\u0651 \u0644\u0623\u064e\u062e\u0650\u064a\u0647\u0650 \u0645\u064e\u0627 \u064a\u064f\u062d\u0650\u0628\u064f\u0651 \u0644\u0650\u0646\u064e\u0641\u0652\u0633\u0650\u0647\u0650, until you love for the next person what you love for yourself\u2019.<\/p>\n

The Nabi of All\u0101h said: \u0627\u064e\u0644\u0652\u0645\u064f\u0624\u0652\u0645\u0650\u0646\u064f \u064a\u064e\u0623\u0652\u0644\u064e\u0641\u0652 \u0648\u064e \u064a\u064f\u0624\u0652\u0644\u064e\u0641\u0652\u00a0\u2018a Muslim is such that he loves people and because he loves people, they love him.\u2019<\/p>\n

\u0648\u064e \u0644\u064e\u0627 \u062e\u064e\u064a\u0652\u0631\u064e \u0641\u0650\u064a \u0645\u064e\u0646 \u0644\u064e\u0627\u00a0\u064a\u064e\u0623\u0652\u0644\u064e\u0641\u0652 \u0648\u064e\u0644\u064e\u0627 \u064a\u064f\u0624\u0652\u0644\u064e\u0641\u0652<\/p>\n

\u2018There is no goodness in that person who doesn\u2019t love others and as a result they don\u2019t love him.\u2019<\/p>\n

May All\u0101h make all of us from amongst those who can rediscover this value and this quality of love, this Sunnah of love. Aameen.<\/p>\n
