00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:06,179
Among the aesthetic beauties of the Prophetic biography.

2
00:00:06,179 --> 00:00:09,179
Voluntary participation.

3
00:00:09,179 --> 00:00:16,089
Examples of the humility and high aspirations of a caller to Allah.

4
00:00:16,089 --> 00:00:21,089
His participation with his Companions in necessary tasks and duties.

5
00:00:21,089 --> 00:00:27,410
The Prophet, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, did this during the construction of the mosque and the digging of the trench.

6
00:00:27,410 --> 00:00:30,570
Anas Ibn Malik, may Allah be pleased with him, said:

7
00:00:30,570 --> 00:00:35,630
The site of the Prophet’s mosque was a garden belonging to the Banu Najjar.

8
00:00:35,630 --> 00:00:39,729
It contained palm trees and graves of the polytheists.

9
00:00:39,729 --> 00:00:44,729
The Prophet, peace be upon him, said to them, "Name your price for it."

10
00:00:44,729 --> 00:00:48,789
They replied, "We will not take any price for it."

11
00:00:48,789 --> 00:00:52,859
The Prophet, peace be upon him, would build it,

12
00:00:52,859 --> 00:00:54,859
while they handed him the materials,

13
00:00:54,859 --> 00:00:56,859
and he would say:

14
00:00:56,859 --> 00:00:59,859
"O Allah, there is no life but the life of the Hereafter,

15
00:00:59,859 --> 00:01:02,920
so forgive the Ansar and the Muhajirun."

16
00:01:02,920 --> 00:01:07,920
He said: The Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him, would pray

17
00:01:07,920 --> 00:01:11,819
wherever the time for prayer overtook him.

18
00:01:11,819 --> 00:01:14,819
Being a leader or a prominent figure

19
00:01:14,819 --> 00:01:19,819
does not preclude your moral participation, your voluntary efforts,

20
00:01:19,819 --> 00:01:22,819
or your social services.

21
00:01:22,819 --> 00:01:26,819
Such was the constant practice of the Prophet, peace be upon him.

22
00:01:26,819 --> 00:01:28,819
Decisive leadership,

23
00:01:28,819 --> 00:01:30,819
earnest participation,

24
00:01:30,819 --> 00:01:32,879
and flourishing character.

25
00:01:32,879 --> 00:01:36,879
Through this, he teaches us humility and a love for work,

26
00:01:36,879 --> 00:01:41,680
and that everyone has responsibilities and contributions to make.

27
00:01:41,680 --> 00:01:44,680
Voluntary participation

28
00:01:44,680 --> 00:01:48,680
is a practical embodiment of the meaning of leadership and justice,

29
00:01:48,680 --> 00:01:53,680
and a way to raise generations to love work and social contribution,

30
00:01:53,680 --> 00:01:55,680
while warding off the comfort and arrogance

31
00:01:55,680 --> 00:02:00,680
that may afflict those who cling to blessings and positions of power,

32
00:02:00,680 --> 00:02:03,680
possessing nothing but their voices and their commands.

33
00:02:03,680 --> 00:02:06,680
True leadership is not like that;

34
00:02:06,680 --> 00:02:10,680
rather, it is speech, action, intellect, and initiative.

35
00:02:10,680 --> 00:02:12,680
Peace.

36
00:02:12,680 --> 00:02:17,740
