00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:02,100
Allah the Exalted says:

2
00:00:02,100 --> 00:00:08,099
“Verily in the messenger of Allah ye have a good example for him who looketh unto Allah and the Last Day, and remembereth Allah much.” (33:21)

3
00:00:08,099 --> 00:00:18,100
“Verily in the messenger of Allah ye have a good example for him who looketh unto Allah and the Last Day, and remembereth Allah much.” (33:21)

4
00:00:18,670 --> 00:00:21,699
Ibn al-Qayyim, may Allah have mercy on him, said:

5
00:00:21,699 --> 00:00:24,699
Since the happiness of the servant in both this world and the next

6
00:00:24,699 --> 00:00:28,699
is contingent upon the guidance of the Prophet, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him,

7
00:00:28,699 --> 00:00:34,799
it is incumbent upon everyone who seeks to be sincere to themselves and desires their own salvation and happiness

8
00:00:34,799 --> 00:00:38,799
to possess such knowledge of his guidance, his Prophetic biography, and his affairs

9
00:00:38,799 --> 00:00:41,799
as will remove them from the ranks of those who are ignorant of him,

10
00:00:41,799 --> 00:00:44,799
and include them among the number of his followers.

11
00:00:44,799 --> 00:00:50,960
In this regard, people vary between those who take little, those who take much, and those who are deprived.

12
00:00:50,960 --> 00:00:54,960
Bounty is in the hand of Allah; He grants it to whom He wills,

13
00:00:54,960 --> 00:00:57,960
and Allah is the Possessor of Great Bounty.
