WEBVTT 00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:07.139 In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. 00:00:07.139 --> 00:00:11.740 With pens of longing and ink of love, 00:00:11.740 --> 00:00:15.869 We record lines more precious than gold, 00:00:15.869 --> 00:00:20.870 In describing the Master of Creation, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him. 00:00:20.870 --> 00:00:29.000 The Prophetic Characteristics (Shama'il). 00:00:29.000 --> 00:00:35.000 Praise be to Allah, who created all beings, moral characters, provisions, and actions. 00:00:35.000 --> 00:00:41.000 To Him belongs all gratitude for bestowing His manifest and hidden blessings through His bounty. 00:00:41.000 --> 00:00:47.000 May the peace and blessings of Allah be upon His Prophet and Messenger, who was distinguished by the most excellent characteristics. 00:00:47.000 --> 00:00:53.000 And upon his family and his Companions, who are described by their virtues and merits. 00:00:53.000 --> 00:01:00.130 And upon his followers, the scholars who act upon what has been authentically established from him with proofs. 00:01:00.130 --> 00:01:02.450 To proceed: 00:01:02.450 --> 00:01:09.450 There is no doubt that everyone who has praised the Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him, in the past and the present, 00:01:09.450 --> 00:01:15.510 Whether from the desert or the city, whether a composer of verse, a writer, or a poet, 00:01:15.510 --> 00:01:21.510 Seeks to demonstrate the excellence of praising the Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him. 00:01:21.510 --> 00:01:27.510 And that to dwell upon it and speak at length in recounting it is among the most noble and perfect of deeds, 00:01:27.510 --> 00:01:34.510 Because of how Allah, the Almighty, praised His Prophet Muhammad, peace be upon him, 00:01:34.510 --> 00:01:36.510 In His Noble Book. 00:01:36.510 --> 00:01:44.700 Allah, the Almighty, praised His Messenger, peace be upon him, with a praise that cannot be surpassed. 00:01:44.700 --> 00:01:50.799 Thus, all of creation came after that, falling short of his due, no matter how hard they strove, 00:01:50.799 --> 00:01:53.799 And remaining below his station, no matter how eloquent they became. 00:01:53.799 --> 00:01:56.799 As one of them said: 00:01:56.799 --> 00:01:59.799 "I see every praise of the Prophet as falling short, 00:01:59.799 --> 00:02:03.799 Even if the one praising him exaggerates and speaks at length. 00:02:03.799 --> 00:02:10.800 If Allah Himself praises him with what he is worthy of, then what is the measure of the praise of mortals?" 00:02:10.800 --> 00:02:17.340 Among the greatest forms of Allah’s praise for the Messenger, peace be upon him, 00:02:17.340 --> 00:02:22.340 Is His defense of him and His confronting of his enemies and those who fabricate lies against him, 00:02:22.340 --> 00:02:26.340 By proving them liars and exposing their foolishness. 00:02:26.340 --> 00:02:33.340 Then, by clarifying his virtues, his characteristics, and his status, peace be upon him. 00:02:33.340 --> 00:02:37.340 This is something countless in the Noble Qur'an. 00:02:37.340 --> 00:02:43.340 For no sooner do his enemies launch a rumor, a fabrication, or an accusation, 00:02:43.340 --> 00:02:47.340 Than the Noble Qur'an stands in wait, 00:02:47.340 --> 00:02:50.340 Refuting and exposing them on one hand, 00:02:50.340 --> 00:02:55.340 While praising and extolling Muhammad, peace be upon him, 00:02:55.340 --> 00:03:01.340 And swearing by his beautiful traits and his magnificent status on the other. 00:03:01.340 --> 00:03:06.919 Indeed, praising the Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him, in the Noble Qur'an, 00:03:06.919 --> 00:03:12.919 Extolling him, commending him, enumerating his virtues, elevating his status, 00:03:12.919 --> 00:03:18.919 Raising his rank, defending him, confirming his words, and upholding his law, 00:03:18.919 --> 00:03:23.919 Along with condemning his enemies, exposing their opinions, and belittling their worth, 00:03:23.919 --> 00:03:29.919 Is a clear Qur'anic methodology and an explicit divine path. 00:03:29.919 --> 00:03:32.949 It is a divine way. 00:03:32.949 --> 00:03:36.949 Hence, the emulation by the believing men and women, 00:03:36.949 --> 00:03:40.949 In praising the Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him, 00:03:40.949 --> 00:03:44.949 And commending him by every means and method, 00:03:44.949 --> 00:03:47.949 And every trait, virtue, and character, 00:03:47.949 --> 00:03:50.949 Until they wove for him a mantle of praise. 00:03:50.949 --> 00:03:55.949 Our Lord mentioned to us in His Book this favor, 00:03:55.949 --> 00:04:01.270 Which encircles the neck of every Muslim in every time and place, 00:04:01.270 --> 00:04:03.270 For He said: 00:04:03.270 --> 00:04:07.270 "Allah has certainly conferred a favor upon the believers," 00:04:07.270 --> 00:04:12.530 “Allah verily hath shown grace to the believers by sending unto them a messenger of their own who reciteth unto them His revelations, and causeth them to grow, and teacheth them the Scripture and wisdom; although before (he came to them) they were in flagrant error.” (3:164) 00:04:12.530 --> 00:04:16.529 "Reciting to them His verses," 00:04:16.529 --> 00:04:19.529 "Reciting to them His verses," 00:04:19.529 --> 00:04:22.850 "And purifying them," 00:04:22.850 --> 00:04:27.850 "And teaching them the Book and wisdom," 00:04:27.850 --> 00:04:32.100 "And teaching them the Book and wisdom," 00:04:32.100 --> 00:04:37.100 "Although they had been before in clear error." 00:04:37.100 --> 00:04:42.100 And from there, He emphasizes the status of the Messenger, peace be upon him, 00:04:44.990 --> 00:04:49.990 And from there, He emphasizes the status of the Messenger, peace be upon him, 00:04:49.990 --> 00:04:52.990 In the Noble Qur'an for every Muslim, 00:04:52.990 --> 00:04:54.990 Saying: 00:04:54.990 --> 00:04:58.990 “The Prophet is closer to the believers than their selves, and his wives are (as) their mothers. And the owners of kinship are closer one to another in the ordinance of Allah than (other) believers and the fugitives (who fled from Mecca), except that ye should do kindness to your friends. This is written in the Book (of nature).” (33:6) 00:04:58.990 --> 00:05:01.990 For he is closer to us than our own hearts, 00:05:01.990 --> 00:05:05.990 And dearer to our souls than our own selves. 00:05:05.990 --> 00:05:09.990 And he is, to every Muslim among us, the most precious thing he possesses, 00:05:09.990 --> 00:05:14.220 And dearer than all of creation without exception. 00:05:14.220 --> 00:05:17.220 For on the authority of Anas, may Allah be pleased with him, who said: 00:05:17.220 --> 00:05:21.220 The Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him, said: 00:05:21.220 --> 00:05:27.220 "None of you truly believes until I am dearer to him than his father, his child," 00:05:27.220 --> 00:05:29.790 "And all of mankind." 00:05:29.790 --> 00:05:33.790 And the Muslim can do nothing before this towering edifice, 00:05:33.790 --> 00:05:39.790 Except to show reverence and awe for the station of this noble Messenger, peace be upon him, 00:05:39.790 --> 00:05:42.790 And to follow the path of the noble Companions, 00:05:42.790 --> 00:05:47.790 Who devoted themselves to the love of their Messenger, peace be upon him, 00:05:47.790 --> 00:05:52.790 Until both enemies and friends alike bore witness to it. 00:05:52.790 --> 00:05:57.860 Abu Sufyan Ibn Harb said, before he announced his Islam: 00:05:57.860 --> 00:06:00.860 "I have never seen anyone love anyone," 00:06:00.860 --> 00:06:05.339 "As the Companions of Muhammad love Muhammad." 00:06:05.339 --> 00:06:09.339 Among the manifestations of Allah’s honoring of His Prophet and His praise for him, 00:06:09.339 --> 00:06:14.339 Is what came at the beginning of Surah al-Najm, along with other surahs, 00:06:14.339 --> 00:06:17.339 Where Allah praised his intellect, saying: 00:06:17.339 --> 00:06:21.339 “Your comrade erreth not, nor is deceived;” (53:2) 00:06:21.339 --> 00:06:24.339 And He praised his tongue, saying: 00:06:24.339 --> 00:06:27.339 “Nor doth he speak of (his own) desire.” (53:3) 00:06:27.339 --> 00:06:31.339 And He praised his companion and teacher, Jibril, saying: 00:06:31.339 --> 00:06:34.339 "He was taught by one intense in strength." 00:06:34.339 --> 00:06:37.339 And He praised his sight, saying: 00:06:37.339 --> 00:06:40.339 “The eye turned not aside nor yet was overbold.” (53:17) 00:06:40.339 --> 00:06:43.339 And He praised his chest, saying: 00:06:43.339 --> 00:06:46.339 “Have We not caused thy bosom to dilate,” (94:1) 00:06:46.339 --> 00:06:50.370 And He praised all of his character, saying: 00:06:50.370 --> 00:06:54.370 "And indeed, you are of a great moral character." 00:06:54.370 --> 00:06:57.529 Qadi 'Iyad, may Allah have mercy on him, says: 00:06:57.529 --> 00:07:02.529 "What is your opinion of the greatness of one in whom all the qualities of goodness have gathered," 00:07:02.529 --> 00:07:04.529 "Which cannot be counted by any number," 00:07:04.529 --> 00:07:06.529 "Which cannot be counted by any number," 00:07:06.529 --> 00:07:09.529 "Nor expressed by any speech," 00:07:09.529 --> 00:07:12.529 "Nor attained by effort or stratagem," 00:07:12.529 --> 00:07:15.529 "Except by the selection of the Great, the Exalted," 00:07:15.529 --> 00:07:18.529 "From the virtue of Prophethood and Messengership," 00:07:18.529 --> 00:07:20.529 "And the status of being a close friend (khalil) and beloved," 00:07:20.529 --> 00:07:22.529 "And the selection, the Night Journey (Isra')," 00:07:22.529 --> 00:07:25.529 "And the vision, the nearness, and the approach," 00:07:25.529 --> 00:07:29.529 "And the revelation, the intercession, the means (wasilah), and the virtue," 00:07:29.529 --> 00:07:31.529 "And the exalted degree," 00:07:31.529 --> 00:07:33.529 "And the praised station (Maqam Mahmud)," 00:07:33.529 --> 00:07:35.529 "And the Buraq and the Ascension (Mi'raj)," 00:07:35.529 --> 00:07:38.529 "And the mission to the red and the black (all of mankind)," 00:07:38.529 --> 00:07:40.529 "And leading the Prophets in prayer," 00:07:40.529 --> 00:07:43.529 "And the testimony among the Prophets," 00:07:43.529 --> 00:07:45.529 "And the mastership of the children of Adam," 00:07:45.529 --> 00:07:47.529 "And being a mercy to the worlds," 00:07:47.529 --> 00:07:49.529 "And the expansion of his breast," 00:07:49.529 --> 00:07:51.529 "And the raising of his mention," 00:07:51.529 --> 00:07:53.529 "And the support by the angels," 00:07:53.529 --> 00:07:56.529 "And the bestowing of the Book and wisdom," 00:07:56.529 --> 00:08:00.529 "And the blessings of Allah, the Almighty, and the angels upon him," 00:08:00.529 --> 00:08:04.529 "And the removal of the burdens and shackles from creation by his mission," 00:08:04.529 --> 00:08:07.529 "And the gushing of water from between his fingers," 00:08:07.529 --> 00:08:09.529 "And the multiplication of the little," 00:08:09.529 --> 00:08:11.529 "And the splitting of the moon," 00:08:11.529 --> 00:08:13.529 "And the victory through awe," 00:08:13.529 --> 00:08:15.529 "And the knowledge of the unseen," 00:08:15.529 --> 00:08:17.529 "And the shade of the clouds," 00:08:17.529 --> 00:08:19.529 "And the glorification of Allah by the pebbles," 00:08:19.529 --> 00:08:21.529 "And the protection from the people," 00:08:21.529 --> 00:08:23.529 "To that which cannot be counted by any number," 00:08:23.529 --> 00:08:27.529 "And none encompasses its knowledge except Allah, the Almighty." 00:08:27.529 --> 00:08:31.529 "In addition to what Allah has prepared for him in the Hereafter," 00:08:31.529 --> 00:08:33.529 "Of the stations of honor," 00:08:33.529 --> 00:08:35.529 "And the degrees of sanctity," 00:08:35.529 --> 00:08:38.529 "And the ranks of happiness, goodness, and increase," 00:08:38.529 --> 00:08:41.529 "Before which minds stand still," 00:08:41.529 --> 00:08:45.620 "And understandings are bewildered in their perception." 00:08:45.620 --> 00:08:47.690 His words end here. 00:08:47.690 --> 00:08:49.690 And truthful is the one who said: 00:08:49.690 --> 00:08:53.690 "For the virtue of the Messenger of Allah has no limit," 00:08:53.690 --> 00:08:56.690 "That a speaker could express with my mouth." 00:08:56.690 --> 00:08:59.360 From this starting point, 00:08:59.360 --> 00:09:04.360 The books of the characteristics and states of the Chosen One, peace be upon him, 00:09:04.360 --> 00:09:08.360 Are among the highest of books in degree and the most elevated in status, 00:09:08.360 --> 00:09:11.360 And the most noble in importance and position, 00:09:11.360 --> 00:09:16.360 Because of the images they contain of the life of the Messenger, peace be upon him, 00:09:16.360 --> 00:09:18.360 Depicted with precision, 00:09:18.360 --> 00:09:22.360 Which makes us stand before his life to contemplate it, 00:09:22.360 --> 00:09:25.360 So that it becomes for us a shining lamp, 00:09:25.360 --> 00:09:30.360 And a clear path to happiness in both this world and the Hereafter, 00:09:30.360 --> 00:09:32.360 And makes us follow in his footsteps, 00:09:32.360 --> 00:09:35.360 And walk upon his path and methodology, 00:09:35.360 --> 00:09:39.360 Until we are guided to the Straight Path. 00:09:39.360 --> 00:09:44.360 For he, peace be upon him, is a Qur'an walking upon the earth. 00:09:44.360 --> 00:09:48.100 Knowing how to worship Allah, the Almighty, 00:09:48.100 --> 00:09:54.100 And acting upon His religion, which He sent down for the well-being of the servants in this world and the Hereafter, 00:09:54.100 --> 00:10:00.100 Is dependent upon knowing the guidance of the Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him, 00:10:00.100 --> 00:10:02.100 And his practical way, 00:10:02.100 --> 00:10:07.100 Through which he clarified the law of Allah, the Almighty, from the moment the revelation first descended upon him, 00:10:07.100 --> 00:10:11.100 Until Allah, the Almighty, perfected this religion. 00:10:11.100 --> 00:10:16.159 The books of Sunnah, military expeditions (Maghazi), history, and Shama'il have recorded, 00:10:16.159 --> 00:10:21.159 The sayings of the Prophet, peace be upon him, his actions, and his attributes, 00:10:21.159 --> 00:10:27.190 From the beginning of his life until Allah, the Almighty, chose him to be in His presence, 00:10:27.190 --> 00:10:31.190 Especially the period in which he fulfilled the mission. 00:10:31.190 --> 00:10:36.190 They did not leave any of his affairs, nor anything of his matters, whether small or great, 00:10:36.190 --> 00:10:38.190 Without recording it. 00:10:38.190 --> 00:10:42.190 To the point that you find in them the description of his clothes and his sitting, 00:10:42.190 --> 00:10:45.190 And his rising from his sleep, 00:10:45.190 --> 00:10:48.190 And his manner of laughing and smiling, 00:10:48.190 --> 00:10:52.190 And his walking and his worship in his night and his day, 00:10:52.190 --> 00:10:55.190 And how he would act when he performed ghusl, 00:10:55.190 --> 00:10:56.190 And when he ate, 00:10:56.190 --> 00:10:58.190 And how he would drink, 00:10:58.190 --> 00:11:00.190 And what he would wear, 00:11:00.190 --> 00:11:04.190 And how he would speak to people when he met them, 00:11:04.190 --> 00:11:07.190 And what colors he liked, 00:11:07.190 --> 00:11:10.350 And what his physical appearance and characteristics were. 00:11:10.350 --> 00:11:12.350 And we are not stating a falsehood, 00:11:12.350 --> 00:11:16.350 If we say that there is no perfect human being in the world, 00:11:16.350 --> 00:11:20.350 Whose history is discussed in such detail, 00:11:20.350 --> 00:11:25.350 As the details of the life of our Prophet Muhammad, peace be upon him, 00:11:25.350 --> 00:11:27.350 The Seal of the Prophets. 00:11:27.350 --> 00:11:31.350 And that the most comprehensive book on this subject, 00:11:31.350 --> 00:11:34.350 Is the book *Al-Shama'il al-Muhammadiyyah*, 00:11:34.350 --> 00:11:36.350 By the Imam, the Hafiz, the Verifier, 00:11:36.350 --> 00:11:39.350 Muhammad Ibn 'Isa al-Tirmidhi, 00:11:39.350 --> 00:11:44.350 Which is considered one of the greatest, most comprehensive, and finest books of Shama'il. 00:11:44.350 --> 00:11:48.350 As the scholar 'Ali al-Qari, may Allah have mercy on him, said: 00:11:48.350 --> 00:11:50.350 "The reader of this book," 00:11:50.350 --> 00:11:54.350 "Is as if he is looking at the countenance of that noble presence," 00:11:54.350 --> 00:11:58.350 "And seeing his noble virtues in every chapter." 00:11:58.350 --> 00:12:03.379 Therefore, this book has received great care, 00:12:03.379 --> 00:12:06.379 From the people of knowledge and students throughout the centuries, 00:12:06.379 --> 00:12:08.379 In reading and verifying it, 00:12:08.379 --> 00:12:11.379 And studying and memorizing it. 00:12:11.379 --> 00:12:14.379 More than one scholar has undertaken its explanation, 00:12:14.379 --> 00:12:17.379 And they have written commentaries and marginal notes upon it, 00:12:17.379 --> 00:12:19.379 Both lengthy and concise. 00:12:19.379 --> 00:12:24.769 I have desired to enter into the ranks of those who serve this book, 00:12:24.769 --> 00:12:27.769 So I have written a concise explanation for it, 00:12:27.769 --> 00:12:31.769 Selected from the commentaries of the predecessors and the successors, 00:12:31.769 --> 00:12:35.769 While attempting to present it in a new way, 00:12:35.769 --> 00:12:38.769 That suits the styles of writing and the tastes of readers, 00:12:38.769 --> 00:12:40.799 In our modern era. 00:12:40.799 --> 00:12:44.799 I have intended to omit the chains of narration (isnad) of Imam al-Tirmidhi, 00:12:44.799 --> 00:12:48.799 While keeping the narrator of the hadith from the noble Companions, 00:12:48.799 --> 00:12:50.860 May the pleasure of Allah be upon them. 00:12:50.860 --> 00:12:54.860 And I have omitted all the weak hadiths in the book, 00:12:54.860 --> 00:12:58.860 I have only explained those parts that fall within the scope of acceptance. 00:12:58.860 --> 00:13:02.860 I have also omitted hadiths that are repetitive in meaning. 00:13:02.860 --> 00:13:05.860 I have limited myself to the strongest and most complete versions. 00:13:05.860 --> 00:13:08.860 So that this work may emerge in this form, 00:13:08.860 --> 00:13:12.860 which I hope will be accepted by Allah the Exalted, 00:13:12.860 --> 00:13:16.149 and be beneficial to those who hear it. 00:13:16.149 --> 00:13:18.149 The term Shama'il 00:13:18.149 --> 00:13:20.149 refers to one's nature and characteristics, 00:13:20.149 --> 00:13:22.149 one's manners and traits, 00:13:22.149 --> 00:13:24.149 and one's qualities and dispositions. 00:13:24.149 --> 00:13:29.149 When one speaks of the Shama'il of the Prophet, peace be upon him, 00:13:29.149 --> 00:13:32.149 it refers to his noble characteristics, 00:13:32.149 --> 00:13:34.149 his refined nature, 00:13:34.149 --> 00:13:36.149 his lofty morals, 00:13:36.149 --> 00:13:38.149 his pure qualities, 00:13:38.149 --> 00:13:40.149 and his magnificent dispositions, 00:13:40.149 --> 00:13:44.149 such as the generosity of the Prophet, peace be upon him, his forbearance, 00:13:44.149 --> 00:13:46.149 his composure and patience, 00:13:46.149 --> 00:13:48.149 and his humility and courage. 00:13:48.149 --> 00:13:51.440 However, al-Tirmidhi, may Allah have mercy on him, 00:13:51.440 --> 00:13:56.440 did not limit this book solely to the subject of the Shama'il. 00:13:56.440 --> 00:13:58.440 Rather, he broadened the scope of his research, 00:13:58.440 --> 00:14:02.440 adding chapters in which he discussed other matters 00:14:02.440 --> 00:14:05.440 pertaining to the Prophet, peace be upon him. 00:14:06.440 --> 00:14:10.440 He discussed his physical appearance and outward features, 00:14:10.440 --> 00:14:12.440 his radiant countenance, 00:14:12.440 --> 00:14:14.440 and his luminous face. 00:14:14.440 --> 00:14:16.440 He discussed his worship, 00:14:16.440 --> 00:14:19.440 the manner of his fasting and his night prayers, 00:14:19.440 --> 00:14:22.440 his recitation of the Qur'an, and similar matters. 00:14:22.440 --> 00:14:27.440 He discussed many of his personal belongings and necessities, 00:14:27.440 --> 00:14:29.440 such as his leather socks and sandals, 00:14:29.440 --> 00:14:31.440 his lower garment and his cloak, 00:14:31.440 --> 00:14:33.440 his ring and his turban, 00:14:33.440 --> 00:14:35.440 his sword and his armor, 00:14:35.440 --> 00:14:37.440 his helmet and his drinking vessel. 00:14:37.440 --> 00:14:40.440 He discussed his food and drink, 00:14:40.440 --> 00:14:43.440 his bread, his side dishes, and his fruit, 00:14:43.440 --> 00:14:48.440 and other things contained within this noble book. 00:14:48.440 --> 00:14:54.500 He then concluded the book with chapters on the noble names of the Prophet, peace be upon him, 00:14:54.500 --> 00:14:57.500 his age at the time of his passing, 00:14:57.500 --> 00:14:59.500 the event of his death, 00:14:59.500 --> 00:15:00.500 his inheritance, 00:15:00.500 --> 00:15:02.500 and seeing him in a dream. 00:15:03.500 --> 00:15:09.700 There is no doubt that studying these chapters and understanding them correctly 00:15:09.700 --> 00:15:14.700 increases a Muslim’s knowledge of their Prophet, peace be upon him, 00:15:14.700 --> 00:15:19.700 as well as their love for him, attachment to him, and belief in his message. 00:15:19.700 --> 00:15:22.730 Furthermore, these chapters 00:15:22.730 --> 00:15:26.730 contain many issues of fiqh, 00:15:26.730 --> 00:15:28.730 behavioral etiquette, 00:15:28.730 --> 00:15:30.730 and moral benefits 00:15:30.730 --> 00:15:35.730 that every believer needs to know and emulate. 00:15:35.730 --> 00:15:40.019 The scholar Ibn al-Jazari, may Allah have mercy on him, said: 00:15:40.019 --> 00:15:44.110 "O brother, if the beloved and his abode are far away, 00:15:44.110 --> 00:15:48.110 and meeting him is difficult and his dwellings are distant, 00:15:48.110 --> 00:15:51.110 and you have missed seeing him with your own eyes, 00:15:51.110 --> 00:15:55.110 you have not missed his Shama'il, which are before you." 00:15:55.110 --> 00:15:58.370 Another poet expressed a similar meaning: 00:15:59.370 --> 00:16:02.429 "O eye, if the beloved and his home are far, 00:16:02.429 --> 00:16:06.429 and his lands are distant and his visitation is difficult, 00:16:06.429 --> 00:16:10.429 you have indeed attained a great treasure from the beloved; 00:16:10.429 --> 00:16:14.429 even if you do not see him, these are his traces." 00:16:14.429 --> 00:16:17.820 I ask Allah the Almighty, by His grace and generosity, 00:16:17.820 --> 00:16:21.820 to make this work purely for His noble sake, 00:16:21.820 --> 00:16:24.820 to record its merit and reward for us, 00:16:24.820 --> 00:16:27.820 to make it an intercessor for us on the Day of Resurrection, 00:16:27.820 --> 00:16:31.820 and to benefit those who hear it and undertake its dissemination. 00:16:31.820 --> 00:16:36.940 Our final prayer is that all praise is due to Allah, Lord of the worlds, 00:16:36.940 --> 00:16:40.940 and may the peace and blessings of Allah be upon our Prophet Muhammad, 00:16:40.940 --> 00:16:44.940 and upon all his family and companions.
