Rabiโ al-Awwal Thursday Night Gathering ๐ฟ
Alhamdulillah, another blessed evening was spent remembering Allah and His Beloved Messenger ๏ทบ during this noble month of Rabiโ al-Awwal.
The evening began with the recitation of the Seerah of Rasulullah ๏ทบ, followed by reflections from al-Shamaโil al-Muhammadiyyah of Imam al-Tirmidhi and learning about the noble appearance, characteristics and signs of our beloved Prophet ๏ทบ.
Sayyiduna Jabir ibn Samurah ุฑุถู ุงููู ุนูู narrated:
ุฑูุฃูููุชู ุฑูุณูููู ุงูููู ๏ทบ ููู ููููููุฉู ุฅูุถูุญูููุงููุ ููุนููููููู ุญููููุฉู ุญูู
ูุฑูุงุกูุ ููุฌูุนูููุชู ุฃูููุธูุฑู ุฅููููููู ููุฅูููู ุงููููู
ูุฑูุ ูููููููู ุนูููุฏูู ุฃูุญูุณููู ู
ููู ุงููููู
ูุฑู
โI saw the Messenger of Allah ๏ทบ on a clear moonlit night, wearing a red garment. I looked at him and then at the moon, and to me, he was more beautiful than the moon.โ
Sayyiduna Ibn โAbbas ุฑุถู ุงููู ุนููู
ุง also described:
ููุงูู ุฑูุณูููู ุงูููู ๏ทบ ุฃูููููุฌู ุงูุซูููููููุชูููููุ ุฅูุฐูุง ุชููููููู
ู ุฑูุฆููู ููุงูููููุฑู ููุฎูุฑูุฌู ู
ููู ุจููููู ุซูููุงููุงูู
โWhen he spoke, it appeared as though light emanated from between his blessed teeth.โ
We also reflected upon the Seal of Prophethood โ ุฎุงุชู
ุงููุจูุฉ and the remarkable journey of Sayyiduna Salman al-Farisi ุฑุถู ุงููู ุนูู. When Salman first presented dates as charity, Rasulullah ๏ทบ declined, saying, โWe do not eat from charity.โ The following day Salman returned with them as a gift, which the Prophet ๏ทบ accepted and shared with his Companions.
Salman ุฑุถู ุงููู ุนูู then saw the Seal of Prophethood upon his blessed back. Having witnessed the signs he had been searching for, he recognised Rasulullah ๏ทบ and believed in him.
The Shamaโil allows us to know Rasulullah ๏ทบ more deeply; how he looked, spoke and carried himself, and the signs Allah placed upon him. The more we know him ๏ทบ, the more our hearts grow in love, longing and commitment to following his Sunnah.
May Allah increase us in maโrifah, mahabbah and ittibaโ of His Beloved ๏ทบ and gather us in his blessed company in the Hereafter.
