Bismillahir Rahmanir Raheem

Hajjah Aminah Adilق wrote in her book, Muhammadﷺ, that when Sayyidina Adam Alayhi Salam was heavily burdened by the guilt of ‘original sin’, he beseeched Allah Most Forgiving to pardon him by pleading, “for the sake of Muhammadﷺ, forgive me”.

Sayyidina Adam Alayhi Salam knew that this blessed name written next to Allahﷻ on every heavenly leaf must be Hisﷻ Beloved and therefore asked to be interceded through the Holy Prophet’s ﷺ name.

‘La Ilaha illallah Muhammadur Rasullallah’, is written in the heavens and for those who understand the beauty of Quranic Arabic, it is grammatically incorrect and the word ‘و’/‘and’, must be inserted to correct it.

Therefore, it would be grammatically correct for the Shahadah to be, ‘La Ilaha illallah Wa Muhammadur Rasullallah’, ‘There is no God except God And Muhammad is His Messenger’ but, by the Wisdom of Allahﷻ, this is not the case.

By studying the absence of the word ‘و’/‘and’, we find the secret to the absolute intimacy and unique highness Allah Almighty Himself bestowed upon Prophetﷺ. It is as if for one to discover that there is no barrier, not even by a grammatical ruling, between Rasulullahﷺ and his Lord Most High.

Mawlanaق said,

“Holy Prophet’s ﷺ beautiful manners and character are given by Allāh.

‎“أدبني ربي فأحسن تأديبي”,

“Addabanī Rabbī fa-aḥsana ta'dībi”, “My Lord perfected my good manners.” He ﷺ says, “Allāh ‘Azza wa Jalla taught me Adab”.

Allah ﷻ taught him the best.

People need a good example. And that is our Holy Prophet ﷺ.”

Hisﷺ exclusive rank in the Sight of Allah ﷻ was envied by the one with the worst behaviour, Iblis alayhi laqnat. The devil made it his life's mission, to see that mankind will heed his treacherous advice, follow his ways and suffer like he will.

As this life is one of tests and trials, many fail to realise that the difficulties they face are indeed life lessons to progress towards attaining a perfectly sound heart- Qalbun Saleem and ultimately, the Pleasure of Allahﷻ.

“Indeed amazing are the affairs of a believer! They are all for his benefit. If he is granted ease of living he is thankful and this is best for him. And if he is afflicted with hardship, he perseveres [with patience]; and this is best for him.” (Sahih Muslim)

Life’s sufferings are greatly rewarded for a believer who follows the Adab of our Holy Prophetﷺ and reject any vile satanic advice when dealing with hardship.

“The amount of reward is in accordance with the amount of suffering. When Allah loves some people, He tries them (with affliction). He who then is content (with Allah’s decree) has achieved the Acceptance (of Allah), and he who is dissatisfied (with Allah’s decree) will attain the Anger (of Allah).” (At-Tirmidhi)

There is no one who suffered more than our Holy Prophetﷺ and his sufferings are indeed lessons of refinement in mannerism from Allah Almighty Himself.

“Everything he ﷺ did was perfect. The best, the rightest, the most beautiful in everything was done by our Holy Prophet ﷺ.” -Mawlana Shaykh Muhammad Adil Ar-Rabbani

No one can do what our Holy Prophetﷺ did. No one can carry the sufferings heﷺ did and for this, in himﷺ, we will find Uswatun Hasana, the most perfect example to follow.

Hence, wise ones remain patient in adversity, are sincerely thankful to be from the Nation of The Belovedﷺ, striving to learn and emulate hisﷺ blessed life and become as heﷺ was, The Walking Quranﷺ.

May Allahﷻ grant our hearts to be filled only with sincere love for Rasulullahﷺ and to be in the company of The Belovedﷺ for eternity.
