After the passing away of Prophet ﷺ, Bilal رضي الله عنه stood intending to do the Adhaan, and when he reached the words:
*أشهد أن محمدًا رسولُ الله*
_“I bear witness that Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah”_
He wept, and all the people wept! He wasn’t able to finish the Adhaan!
He said _“So I sought permission from Abu Bakr that he relieve me from calling the Adhaan, because I am unable to call the Adhaan, when the Imaam has passed away ﷺ."_
And the people wept, and Madinah became dull.
_
Wallahi!
The Passing Away of Prophet ﷺ is *more calamitous* to any one person of this Ummah than any of his personal struggles!
_
The Prophet ﷺ said:
_“If one of you is afflicted with a calamity, then let him remember his calamity by me (i.e., by my death); for indeed, it is the greatest of calamities.”_
[Sunan Ibn Majah]
_
What do you know of his death?
His final days and moments, an emotional period of the Seerah, it will make you weep.
_
If this doesn’t make you weep, reflect!
That, *where is our love for Muhammad ﷺ?*
_
Is it mere lip service?!
Where is the Sunnah in your lives?
Where is the remembrance of his Seerah in your lives?
Where is the frequency of his salutation and blessings on your tongues?
_
How can you love one you don’t know?
And how could you hope to follow the one you don’t recognise?
_
Don’t pay mere lip service to the second part of the Shahadah!
_
*Substantiate it!*
You love Muhammad ﷺ?
Wake up for Fajr!
Pray your Salah!
Recite the Qur’an!
Wear the Hijaab!
Grow the beard!
Seek knowledge!
_
As Allah ﷻ says in the Qur'an:
*قُل إِن كُنتُم تُحِبُّونَ اللهَ فَاتَّبِعُوني*
_Say (Muhammad): if you love Allah, then follow me_
*يُحبِبْكُمُ اللهُ*
_Allah will love you_
[3:31]
_
And when Bilal رضي الله عنه was in his own final moments,
His wife exclaimed
*وا كرباه*
_Oh what a Calamity!_
So he رضي الله عنه replied
*وا طرباه*
_Oh what delightfulness!_
*غدا نلقى الأحبة محمدا وحزبه*
_Tomorrow we shall meet the beloved ones! Muhammad and his companions!_
*سبحان الله*
_
May Allah ﷻ join us with him on Qiyamah and grant us the blessing of drinking Al Kawthar from his blessed hands.
*آمين يا رب العالمين*
