From the aesthetics of the Prophetic biography (Seerah)

00:00:05.759 --> 00:00:12.660
By Dr. Hamzah Ibn Fa'i' Al Fathi

00:00:12.660 --> 00:00:17.550
A star of noble character

00:00:17.550 --> 00:00:22.670
He, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, is a star of noble character

00:00:22.670 --> 00:00:27.070
A gathering place for them and their lush, flourishing gardens

00:00:27.070 --> 00:00:32.049
A repository for a magnificent social life

00:00:32.210 --> 00:00:36.130
His actions, peace be upon him, are lights

00:00:36.130 --> 00:00:38.530
And his words are radiance

00:00:38.530 --> 00:00:42.780
His ways are a benefit and service to people

00:00:42.780 --> 00:00:47.200
"And He has made me blessed wherever I am"

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:

00:00:53.920 --> 00:00:57.920
"By Allah, Allah will never disgrace you."

00:00:58.000 --> 00:01:00.880
"For you uphold the ties of kinship,"

00:01:00.880 --> 00:01:02.880
"You speak the truth,"

00:01:02.880 --> 00:01:04.879
"You support the weak,"

00:01:04.879 --> 00:01:06.879
"You provide for the destitute,"

00:01:06.879 --> 00:01:08.879
"You honor the guest,"

00:01:08.879 --> 00:01:13.150
"And you assist in the face of true calamities."

00:01:13.150 --> 00:01:16.510
Thus, by your very nature, you are successful and prosperous,

00:01:16.510 --> 00:01:20.829
And you will never be placed in a position of humiliation or subjugation,

00:01:20.829 --> 00:01:23.870
For you remain one who upholds ties and speaks the truth,

00:01:23.870 --> 00:01:26.030
A helper to the poor,

00:01:26.030 --> 00:01:29.099
One who spends wealth on those deserving of it,

00:01:29.099 --> 00:01:31.420
A provider for guests,

00:01:31.420 --> 00:01:34.540
And a refuge during the calamities of life.

00:01:34.540 --> 00:01:36.060
And similar to that,

00:01:36.060 --> 00:01:41.180
Is the expectation of safety and protection from Allah the Exalted.

00:01:41.180 --> 00:01:45.739
Whoever possesses such goodness and integrity in their character,

00:01:45.739 --> 00:01:48.140
Their life is preserved,

00:01:48.140 --> 00:01:51.900
And Allah protects them from downfalls and afflictions,

00:01:51.900 --> 00:01:56.299
Granting them the stations of the fortunate and the saved.

00:01:56.299 --> 00:01:59.099
The Prophet, peace be upon him, said,

00:01:59.099 --> 00:02:04.299
In his golden advice to Ibn 'Abbas, may Allah be pleased with them both:

00:02:04.299 --> 00:02:07.709
"Be mindful of Allah, and He will protect you."

00:02:07.709 --> 00:02:10.909
So whoever is mindful of Him through such manners,

00:02:10.909 --> 00:02:13.949
And does well in their religion and worldly life,

00:02:13.949 --> 00:02:16.780
Allah will grant them success and shield them,

00:02:16.780 --> 00:02:19.819
For Allah is the best of protectors,

00:02:19.819 --> 00:02:23.599
And He is the Most Merciful of the merciful.
