Love of the Prophet ﷺ and Daily Sunnahs

 Summary of the Bayan

Dear Islamic brothers! In today's Bayan, we have heard about the beauty of Beloved Mustafa صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّم. Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ has not created anyone more beautiful than the Beloved Prophet صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّم, even the shadow of the Beloved Prophet صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّم was not made because for such a unique personality there should be such uniqueness. To what extent Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ loves His Beloved Prophet صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّم can be judged by this, therefore if we want to attain the pleasure of Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ and His Prophet صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّم we should associate ourselves with the Madani environment of Dawat-e-Islami. آمِیْن لِلّٰہِ عَزَّوَجَلَّ, through the blessings of the Madani environment of Dawat-e-Islami, one will get into the habit of performing good deeds abundantly, hating sins, being steadfast on the Sunnah and worshiping Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ more and more, اِنْ شَآءَ اللّٰہُ عَزَّوَجَلَّ.

Take part in the 12 Madani activities

Dear Islamic brothers! We should also actively participate in the 12 Madani activities of Zayli Halqahs in order to perform good deeds, be safe from sins, and protect others from sins and to spread the call to righteousness. The Madani activity of the weekly Madani Muzakarah is one of the 12 Madani activities of the Zayli Halqah. To convey the Madani pearls of wisdom to people, to train them, and to impart Islamic knowledge to them were the practices of our pious saints. There are a large number of pious saints who from time to time would manage to impart Islamic knowledge to people in different manners in order to spread Islamic knowledge and provide guidance to them. The benefit of Islamic scholars, the company of perfect saints, the effect of their speeches and the beauty of their characters have become a source of guidance for thousands of people.

Madani parable

A preacher of Dawat-e-Islami from Khanpur (Punjab, Pakistan) has stated: 'A Sunnah-Inspiring Madani Qafilah came to our city from Bab-ul-Madinah Karachi.

Along with the participants of the Madani Qafilah, I was also privileged to take part in the area visit to call people towards righteousness. Gathering people outside a tailor shop we presented the 'call to righteousness'. When the speech ended, a young worker from the shop said, 'I am a non-Muslim. Your 'call to righteousness' has made a profound impact on my heart. Please make me a Muslim.' اَلْحَمْدُ لِلّٰہِ عَزَّوَجَلَّ, he then embraced Islam.

Dear Islamic brothers! In conclusion, I take this opportunity to mention the excellence of a Sunnah as well as some Sunan and manners. The Prophet of Rahmah, the Intercessor of the Ummah صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّم has said, 'He who loves my Sunnah, loves me, and he who loves me will be with me in Jannah.'

(Ibn 'Asakir, vol. 9, pp. 343)

سینہ تری ُسنَّت کا مدینہ بنے آقا

 جنّت میں پُڑوسی مجھے اپنا تم بنا

Entering and leaving the home: 12 Madani pearls

1.      When leaving the home, recite this Du'a:

بِسْمِ اللّٰہِ تَوَکَّلْتُ عَلَی اللّٰہِ لَا حَوْلَ وَلَا قُوَّۃَ اِلَّا بِاللّٰہِ

With the name of Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ, I have put my trust in Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ, there is neither power nor strength without Him.

(Sunan Abi Dawood, vol. 4, pp. 420, Hadees 5095)

اِنْ شَآءَاللّٰہُ عَزَّوَجَلَّ!  By the blessings of reciting this Du'a, the person who recited it will remain on the right path and will be safe from calamities besides being blessed with Divine help.

2.      Du'a before entering the home:

اَللّٰهُمَّ اِنّیْ اَسْأَلُکَ خَیْرَ الْوَلَاجِ وَ خَیْرَ الْمَخْرَجِ بِسْمِ اللّٰہِ وَلَجْنَا وَ بِسْمِ اللّٰہِ خَرَجْنَا وَ عَلَی اللّٰہِ رَبِّنَا تَوَکَّلْنَا

O Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ, I ask You for the goodness of coming and exiting. We entered (the home) with the name of Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ and exited (the home) with the name of Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ and we put our trust in Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ, our Rab عَزَّوَجَلَّ.

(ibid, Hadees 5096)

After reciting this Du'a, make Salaam to the household, and present Salaam to the Beloved Prophet صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّم. Then recite Surah Al-Ikhlas. There will be blessings in your sustenance and the house will be protected from disputes, اِنْ شَآءَاللّٰہُ عَزَّوَجَلَّ.

3.      Make Salaam to the Mahram and Mahrimaat (e.g. the mother, the father, the brother, the sister, children and the wife etc.).

4.      If anyone enters the home without mentioning the name of Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ, e.g. without saying بِسْمِ اللّٰہِ, Satan also enters with him.

5.      If one enters a house where no one is present (even one's own home) he should say:

اَلسَّلَامُ عَلَیْنَا وَ عَلٰی عِبَادِ اللّٰہِ الصّٰلِحِیْنَ

Salaam be upon us and the righteous bondmen of Allah.

The angels will reply to this Salaam.

(Radd-ul-Muhtar, vol. 9, pp. 682)

 One can also say the following:

اَلسَّلَامُ عَلَیْکَ اَیُّهَا النَّبِیُّ

O Nabi صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّم Salaam be upon you.

The sacred and blessed soul of the Holy Prophet صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّم is present in the homes of Muslims.

(Sharh Ash-Shifa lil-Qaari, vol. 2, pp. 118)

6.      Before you enter someone's home, say السَّلَامُ عَلَیْکُم! May I come in?'

7.      If permission for entry is not given, return happily without getting annoyed. Perhaps they may not have given permission due to some compulsion.

8.      When someone knocks on your door, it is a Sunnah to ask who it is. The person who knocked should tell his name, for example, Muhammad Ilyas. Instead of telling the name, saying such things as Madinah! 'It's me', 'open the door' etc. is not a Sunnah.

9.      After you have mentioned your name, stand at a side so that you do not look inside the house as soon as the door opens.

10.  It is prohibited to glance into someone's home. Some houses are higher than the other adjoining ones. Therefore, those living in higher houses should take great care when looking out from the balcony or window of their house.

11.  When you go to someone's home, do not unnecessarily criticize their home arrangements, as this could be hurtful to them.

12.  When leaving, make Du'a for the household, thank them, make Salam, and gift them with a Sunnah-Inspiring booklet, if possible.

To learn various Sunan, obtain the following books, Bahar-e-Shari'at part 16 comprising of 312 pages and Sunnatayn aur Aadaab, comprising of 120 pages, both published by Maktaba-tul-Madinah, the publishing department of Dawat-e-Islami. One of the best ways to learn Sunan is to travel in the Madani Qafilahs of Dawat-e-Islami with the lovers of the Beloved Prophet.

Dear Islamic brothers! Have you seen how beautiful our Beloved and Blessed Prophet صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّم was that none has ever been born nor anyone be born like him? The Beloved Prophet صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّم was the centre of brightness from head to toe; his entire blessed body was such a collection of beauty and excellence that its example is not found. If we ponder, is there anyone who deserves more love than this Beloved? Definitely not! People, in particular, those who see the short-lived beauty of this mortal world fall prey to its mundane love and start performing deeds contrary to the Shar'iah, they destroy their worldly life and the Hereafter; for them this is a matter to ponder over:

Shaykh-e-Tareeqat, Ameer-e-Ahl-e-Sunnat, the founder of Dawat-e-Islami, 'Allamah Maulana Abu Bilal Muhammad Ilyas Attar Qadiri Razavi دَامَتْ بَرَکَاتُهُمُ الْعَالِیَه has said: These days, there is a rapidly growing trend of romantic love. The main cause of this is that most Muslims do not have necessary Islamic knowledge and are far away from a religious environment. This has also caused a flood of sins everywhere. Watching love stories and dramas on TV, VCR and the internet etc., reading novels, monthly magazines, digests, romantic fictions and exaggeratedly love-related news published in newspapers, attending coeducational classes at colleges and universities and freely meeting and talking to non-Mahram relatives are the causes of love among the youth of today.

At first, love is one-sided but the other partner when informed about it also sometimes falls in love, leading to a severe storm of sins. These lovers then engage in shameless conversations over phone and even meet with each other, they exchange love letters and gifts, and secretly promise to marry each other. If their family members cause any obstruction, they sometimes elope, and the news of their elopement is published in papers, causing disgrace for their families. At times, they get married by a court, but sometimes they go beyond all moral bounds even without marriage, and then the corpses of illegitimate babies of such cruel unmarried couples are found lying in a garbage. Furthermore, if they are unable to elope, then they commit suicide. This type of news is often published in newspapers.

(Nayki ki Da'wat, pp. 40)

It is Haraam for men to wear a gold ring. It is permissible for men to only wear a ring allowed for men i.e. with only one gem/stone. It is permissible to wear a silver ring that weighs less than 4.5 Masha (i.e. 4 grams and 374 mg) and that has only one gem. Similarly, it is not permissible for men to wear more than one (permissible) ring or (one or more than one) gem-less ring because in reality, a gem-less ring is not considered as a ring. Women can wear rings without gems/stones. Women can wear as many silver and gold rings as they like whether with or without a gem. For them, there is no limit on the weight of the silver and gold and on the number of gems. It is Haraam to have a (minor) boy wear jewellery made of gold and silver, and the one having the minor doing so will be a sinner.

(Al-Fatawa Al-Hindiyyah, vol. 5, pp. 335)

If Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ has bestowed wealth upon someone, it is permitted by Shari'ah to use good and expensive clothes for both men and women that it is not worn out of pride, but rather it must be worn to express the blessings of Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ.

(Rad-dul-Muhtar, vol. 9, pp. 579)

To apply kohl is a wonderful Sunnah of our Beloved and Blessed Prophet صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّم. Before the Prophet of Mercy صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّم would sleep, he صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّم would apply kohl to his blessed eyes, therefore acting upon this Sunnah, we too should apply kohl to our eyes. By performing this act we will gain the reward of applying kohl, in addition to attaining its worldly benefits. Our Beloved Prophet صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّم would put oil onto his blessed head and beard, comb them and part his blessed hair in the center of his head. Sayyiduna Abu Hurayrah رَضِیَ اللّٰہُ تَعَالٰی عَنْهُ has narrated that the Beloved and Blessed Prophet صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّم has stated, 'Whoever has hair, he should take regard of it.' i.e. he should wash, oil and comb it.

(Sunan Abi Dawood, vol. 4, p. 103, Hadees 4163)

▪ Piercing the nose and ears is permissible for girls.

▪ Some people pierce the ears of boys and make them wear earrings etc., which is impermissible. I.e., it is also impermissible for boys to wear earrings or have their ears pierced.

▪ It is permissible for women to apply Mehndi (henna) on their hands or feet; it is impermissible to apply Mehndi (henna) on the hands and feet of young boys, there is no harm in applying Mehndi (henna) on the hands and feet of little girls.

▪ Sayyiduna Abu Hurayrah رَضِیَ اللّٰہُ تَعَالٰی عَنْهُ has narrated: An effeminate man (Mukhannas) who had dyed his hands and feet with henna was brought to the Noblest Prophet صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّم. He صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّم asked: What is the matter with this man? He was told, 'Ya Rasoolallah! He imitates the appearance of women.' So he صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّم issued an order regarding him and he was exiled to Naqee'.

(Sunan Abi Dawood, vol. 4, pp. 368, Hadees 4928)

Dear Islamic brothers! Have you seen that an effeminate man imitated women and dyed his hands and feet with henna, upon that, the Beloved Prophet صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّم got him exiled. Through this blessed Hadees, those Islamic brothers who dye their hands or fingers on the occasion of wedding and celebration etc. should take a lesson. Remember that as it is impermissible for men to imitate women, similarly, women are also prohibited to imitate men as Sayyiduna Ibn 'Abbas رَضِیَ اللّٰہُ تَعَالٰی عَنْهُ narrated: The Blessed and Beloved Prophet صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّم cursed men who appear like women and make their appearances like them and women who make their appearances like men.

▪ Do not wear clothing with images of humans and animals; neither put stickers that have human or animal images nor hang them at home.

▪ Do not dress your children in clothes that have pictures of animals or humans.

▪ A woman should adorn herself for her husband within the confines of her home, she should not go out of her house whilst adorned as the Noble Prophet صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّم has stated: Woman is something to be concealed, for when she goes out, Satan looks at her.

▪ Moving around without covering the head surely against the Sunnah, so Islamic brothers should wear an 'Imamah (Islamic turban) on their head as this is sweet Sunnah of the Blessed Rasool صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّم.

The Blessed Physical Attributes and Features of the Beloved Prophet

Blessed mouth

The blessed mouth of our Beloved Prophet صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّم was broad, his blessed cheeks were smooth, blessed front teeth wide and sparkling. At the time of conversation, a Noor used to be seen coming out. Sayyiduna Abu Hurayrah رَضِیَ اللّٰہُ تَعَالٰی عَنْهُ has said: When he صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّم smiled, the walls would become bright.

(Al-Khasaais-ul-Kubra lis-Suyuti, vol. 1, pp. 127)

Blessed saliva

The blessed saliva of the blessed mouth of our Beloved and Blessed Prophet صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّم was a cure for the injured and sick. On the day of the conquest of Khyber, the Beloved Prophet صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّم put his blessed saliva in the eyes of Sayyiduna 'Ali-ul-Murtada کَرَّمَ اللّٰہُ تَعَالٰی وَجْهَهُ الْکَرِیْم, he رَضِیَ اللّٰہُ تَعَالٰی عَنْهُ was immediately cured, and it seemed as if there had never been any pain in his eyes.

Sayyiduna Rifaa'a Bin Raafi' رَضِیَ اللّٰہُ تَعَالٰی عَنْهُ has stated: On the day of Badr, an arrow pierced my eye. The Prophet of Mercy صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّم put his blessed saliva into that eye and made Du'a. Thus, I did not have any pain and that eye fully recovered.

(Zaad-ul-Ma'ad, vol. 3, pp. 144)

جس دِن کے پانی سے شادابِ جان و جہاں
اس دِہن طراوت پہ لاکھوں سلام

The sacred saliva of the Beloved Prophet صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّم is a stream of knowledge and wisdom and the wetness of this saliva is the cause of peace and comfort and a freshness for the soul and the heart. I also send millions of Salam upon the blessed saliva of my Beloved Rasool صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّم. (Similarly) the blessed saliva of the Beloved Prophet صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّم which turns the salty water of the well into fresh water and grants a new kind of freshness upon the soul, millions of Salam be upon the stream of that sweetness.

 جُودِ و نوالِ مصطفٰی مرحبا مرحبا

The Beloved Prophet صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّم was the most eloquent among creation; the conversation of our Beloved Prophet صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّم was so clear that the one sitting near him could memorize it.

(Ash-Shumaail-ul-Muhammadiyyah, pp. 134, Hadees 213)

Sayyidatuna Umm-e-Ma'bad رَضِیَ اللّٰہُ تَعَالٰی عَنْہَا has said: The Beloved and Blessed Prophet صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّم was highly prestigious when quiet and as he صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّم spoke, his face would become illuminated and bright, he صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّم would speak in an extremely sweet voice and his conversation would be clear; it was neither useless nor absurd.

(Al-Istee'aab fi Ma'rifa-til-Ashaab, vol. 4, pp. 514)

وہ زبان جس کو سب کُن کی کنجی کہیں

اس کی نافذحکومت پہ لاکھوں سلام

اس کی باتوں کی لذت پہ بےحد درود

اس کے خطبے کی ہیبت پہ لاکھوں سلام

Explanation of the couplet:

The sacred tongue of the Beloved Prophet صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّم is the key of Allah's will. Millions of Salam be upon the rule of the sacred tongue which does not only rule over this world but over both worlds. Millions of mercies be upon the pleasure of his loving and sweet conversation and millions of Salam be upon the glory and awe of the attractive speech of the Beloved Prophet صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّم.

اقوالِ مصطفٰی مرحبا مرحبا
افعالِ مصطفٰی مرحبا مرحبا

Blessed hands

His blessed arms and palms were fleshy. Sayyiduna Anas رَضِیَ اللّٰہُ تَعَالٰی عَنْهُ has said: I did not find any silky cloth softer than his blessed palms, neither did I find any fragrance greater than the fragrance of the Beloved Prophet صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّم.

(Sahih Bukhari, vol. 2, pp. 489, Hadees 3561)

The person our Beloved Prophet صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّم shook hands with found fragrance in his hands throughout the day and the child upon whose head the Beloved Prophet صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّم placed his blessed hand would be more fragrant than other children.

(Seerat-e-Rasool-e-'Arabi, pp. 263)

Blessed feet

His blessed feet were fleshy and beautiful. No one ever had such feet. They were so soft and clean that water did not stay on them, it instantly dripped off.

(Seerat-e-Rasool-e-'Arabi, pp. 276)

When the Noblest Prophet صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّم would walk on stones, the stones became soft so that he صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّم could pass over them with ease and when he صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّم would walk on the sand, it did not have the impressions of his blessed feet.

(Seerat-e-Rasool-e-'Arabi, pp. 277)

His blessed beard was thick and full; he صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّم would comb his beard and look into a mirror and before sleeping, he would apply kohl around his blessed eyes thrice. He صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّم would get his blessed moustache trimmed and would say that: Oppose the idolaters, that is to say, lengthen your beard and shorten your moustache.

(Mishkat-ul-Masabih, vol. 2, pp. 487, Hadees 4421)
