Respected gathering! It is a great honor and privilege for me to stand before you and discuss a topic of immense importance – the remembrance and celebration of our beloved Prophet Muhammad, peace and blessings be upon him.
Let us begin by sending our sincere salutations and blessings upon the chosen one, the seal of the Prophets, and the mercy to all mankind:
اللَّهُمَّ صَلِّ وَسَلِّمْ وَبَارِكْ عَلَى سَيِّدِنَا مُحَمَّدٍ وَعَلَى آلِهِ وَصَحْبِهِ أَجْمَعِينَ
Our beloved Rasoolullah ﷺ was born in the blessed city of Makkah more than 1,400 years ago. He was known for his impeccable character, honesty, and compassion towards all of Allah's creation, both great and small.
One of the most remarkable qualities of our beloved Prophet ﷺ was his unwavering concern for the poor and underprivileged. He shared his possessions generously and taught us the virtues of charity and supporting those in need, as Allah Almighty says in the Noble Qur'an:
وَآتُوا الزَّكَاةَ
"And establish regular charity." (Al-Baqarah, 2:43)
Our beloved Prophet ﷺ was a remarkable teacher, imparting knowledge and wisdom to humanity. He instilled in us the importance of kindness, truthfulness, and respect towards others, as he said:
خَيْرُكُمْ مَنْ تَعَلَّمَ الْقُرْآنَ وَعَلَّمَهُ
"The best among you is the one who learns the Qur'an and teaches it." (Sahih Al-Bukhari)
He also emphasized the virtues of patience and forgiveness, as Allah Almighty says:
وَالْكَاظِمِينَ الْغَيْظَ وَالْعَافِينَ عَنِ النَّاسِ
"And those who restrain anger and pardon people." (Aal-e-Imran, 3:134)
Our beloved Prophet ﷺ was a beacon of peace and unity. He strived to establish harmony and love among all people, regardless of their background or beliefs. He said:
إِنَّمَا بُعِثْتُ لِأُتَمِّمَ مَكَارِمَ الْأَخْلَاقِ
"I have been sent to perfect good manners." (Sahih Al-Bukhari)
Indeed, our beloved Prophet Muhammad ﷺ was the epitome of righteousness and an exemplary role model for all of humanity. He treated everyone with kindness, compassion, and respect, embodying the teachings of the Noble Qur'an and the true spirit of Islam.
In conclusion, let us strive to emulate the noble character of our beloved Prophet ﷺ in our daily lives. Let us be kind, generous, patient, and peaceful, just as he was. May Allah Almighty grant us the strength and guidance to follow in the footsteps of our beloved Prophet ﷺ and attain His pleasure and the everlasting bliss of Paradise.
وَآخِرُ دَعْوَانَا أَنِ الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ رَبِّ الْعَالَمِينَ
And our final call is that all praise is due to Allah, the Lord of the worlds.
جَزَاكُمُ اللَّهُ خَيْرًا
May Allah reward you all with the best.
