00:00:05,759 --> 00:00:12,660
By Dr. Hamzah Ibn Fa'i' Al Fathi

3
00:00:12,660 --> 00:00:17,550
A star of noble character

4
00:00:17,550 --> 00:00:22,670
He, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, is a star of noble character

5
00:00:22,670 --> 00:00:27,070
A gathering place for them and their lush, flourishing gardens

6
00:00:27,070 --> 00:00:32,049
A repository for a magnificent social life

7
00:00:32,210 --> 00:00:36,130
His actions, peace be upon him, are lights

8
00:00:36,130 --> 00:00:38,530
And his words are radiance

9
00:00:38,530 --> 00:00:42,780
His ways are a benefit and service to people

10
00:00:42,780 --> 00:00:47,200
"And He has made me blessed wherever I am"

11
00:00:47,200 --> 00:00:53,920
The Mother of the Believers, Khadijah, may Allah be pleased with her, described him with her sweet and wonderful words:

12
00:00:53,920 --> 00:00:57,920
"By Allah, Allah will never disgrace you."

13
00:00:58,000 --> 00:01:00,880
"For you uphold the ties of kinship,"

14
00:01:00,880 --> 00:01:02,880
"You speak the truth,"

15
00:01:02,880 --> 00:01:04,879
"You support the weak,"

16
00:01:04,879 --> 00:01:06,879
"You provide for the destitute,"

17
00:01:06,879 --> 00:01:08,879
"You honor the guest,"

18
00:01:08,879 --> 00:01:13,150
"And you assist in the face of true calamities."

19
00:01:13,150 --> 00:01:16,510
Thus, by your very nature, you are successful and prosperous,

20
00:01:16,510 --> 00:01:20,829
And you will never be placed in a position of humiliation or subjugation,

21
00:01:20,829 --> 00:01:23,870
For you remain one who upholds ties and speaks the truth,

22
00:01:23,870 --> 00:01:26,030
A helper to the poor,

23
00:01:26,030 --> 00:01:29,099
One who spends wealth on those deserving of it,

24
00:01:29,099 --> 00:01:31,420
A provider for guests,

25
00:01:31,420 --> 00:01:34,540
And a refuge during the calamities of life.

26
00:01:34,540 --> 00:01:36,060
And similar to that,

27
00:01:36,060 --> 00:01:41,180
Is the expectation of safety and protection from Allah the Exalted.

28
00:01:41,180 --> 00:01:45,739
Whoever possesses such goodness and integrity in their character,

29
00:01:45,739 --> 00:01:48,140
Their life is preserved,

30
00:01:48,140 --> 00:01:51,900
And Allah protects them from downfalls and afflictions,

31
00:01:51,900 --> 00:01:56,299
Granting them the stations of the fortunate and the saved.

32
00:01:56,299 --> 00:01:59,099
The Prophet, peace be upon him, said,

33
00:01:59,099 --> 00:02:04,299
In his golden advice to Ibn 'Abbas, may Allah be pleased with them both:

34
00:02:04,299 --> 00:02:07,709
"Be mindful of Allah, and He will protect you."

35
00:02:07,709 --> 00:02:10,909
So whoever is mindful of Him through such manners,

36
00:02:10,909 --> 00:02:13,949
And does well in their religion and worldly life,

37
00:02:13,949 --> 00:02:16,780
Allah will grant them success and shield them,

38
00:02:16,780 --> 00:02:19,819
For Allah is the best of protectors,

39
00:02:19,819 --> 00:02:23,599
And He is the Most Merciful of the merciful.
