Be Like al-Habib
Assalamu-Alaykum, my dear ummah of Muhammad (PBUH). The very blessed month of Rabi-ul-Awwal has passed us by; it is the month of celebrating The Mercy to Mankind, Muhammad (PBUH). How do we celebrate the beloved of Allah (SWT)? By loving the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) and his example. How do we love him and his example? You love him by knowing who he is and what he did.There is an ayah in surah Ahzab: verse 56 stating, “Verily, Allah and His angels send blessings on the Prophet: O you who believe! Send blessings on him, and salute him with a worthy salutation.” That is one of our goals as students of knowledge in Sanad.
During the month of Rabi-ul-Awwal, every morning in assembly (between 8:30 and 8:45) we covered a portion of Darul Hikmah’s text, A Day with the Prophet (PBUH). In this text a detailed summary of the Prophet’s (PBUH) entire day was accounted for. It took us about a month to complete the text, but we learned what he used to do when he woke up to what he did when he went to sleep. For example when he woke up, he would wipe his eyes with his palms and when he went to sleep, he read ayahs from the Qur’an and recited the supplication for sleeping. He would always be in a state of remembrance of Allah, even when he was sleeping. What I mean by that is that he would have Allah in his mind every moment. We can do this by constantly making dhikr.
After a whole month of time traveling with the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH), the students have gained insight as to the character of The Beloved (PBUH). They have written and decided how they would like to spend their day with The Prophet (PBUH). They have learned to better themselves and grow closer to Allah, through His Prophet (PBUH).
