[IslamCity] Prophet's (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him), at Tabuk

[Khalid Bin Umar]

Prophet's   (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him), at Tabuk        In 630 C.E.,  prophet Muhammad   (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him),  led an expedition to Tabuk. At Tabuk he delivered a classical address which provides glimpses of his message. After praising Allah T'ala and thanking Him, the Prophet said:   (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him),   _______________________________________________________________   "Well, verily the most veracious discourse is the Book of Allah.      The most trustworthy stronghold is the word of piety.      The best of the religions is the religion of Ibrahim.(Alaihissalaam)      The best of the precedents is the precedent of Muhammad.     The noblest speech is the invocation of Allah.      The finest of the narratives is this Quran.      The best of the affairs is that which has been firmly resolved upon.     The worst in religion are those things which are created without sanction.      The best of the ways is one trodden by the Prophets.      The noblest death is the death of a martyr.      The most miserable blindness is the waywardness after
 guidance.     The best of the actions is that which is beneficent.      The best guidance is that which is put into practice.      The worst blindness is the blindness of the heart.     The upper hand is better than the lower hand[1].      The little that suffices is better than what is abundant and alluring.     The worst apology is that
 which is tendered when death stares one in the face.      The worst remorse is that which is felt on the day of Resurrection.     Some men do not come to Friday prayer, but with hesitance and delay.     And some of them do not remember Allah but with reluctance.      The tongue which is addicted to false _expression_ is a bubbling spring of sins.     The most valuable possession is the contentment of heart. The best provision is that of
 piety.     The highest wisdom is fear of Allah, the Mighty and the Great. The best thing to be cherished in the hearts is faith and conviction; doubt is infidelity.     Impatient wailing and fulsome laudation of the dead is an act of ignorance. Betrayal leads one to the fire of Hell. Drinking amounts to burning.      Obscene poetry is the work of the devil. Wine is the mother of all evil.      The worst thing eaten is one which belongs to the orphan. Blessed is he who receives admonition from others.     Each one of you must resort to a place of four cubit (grave).      Your affairs would be decided ultimately in the next life. The worst dream is false dream. Whatever is in store is near.     To abuse a believer is transgression; raising arms against him is infidelity.      To backbite him is a disobedience of Allah. Inviolability (and sacredness) of his property is like that of his blood.     He who swears by Allah (falsely), in fact falsifies Him.      He who pardons others is himself granted pardon.      He who forgives others, is forgiven by Allah for his sins.  He who represses anger, Allah rewards him.     He who faces misfortunes with perseverance, Allah compensates him.      He who acts only for fame and reputation, Allah disgraces him. He who shows patience and forbearance, Allah gives him a double reward.      He who disobeys Allah, Allah chastises him.     I seek the forgiveness
 of Allah.I seek the forgiveness of Allah.I seek the forgiveness of Allah.Footnote: 1. The hand which gives charity is better than the one which receives it.Reference: Life of Muhammad by Prof. A.H. Siddiqui, pp. 283-4       BROTHER IN ISLAM  KHALID BIN UMAR

{Invite (mankind, O Muhammad ) to the Way of your Lord (i.e. Islam) with wisdom (i.e. with the Divine Inspiration and the Qur'an) and fair preaching, and argue with them in a way that is better. Truly, your Lord knows best who has gone astray from His Path, and He is the Best Aware of those who are guided.} 
(Holy Quran-16:125)

{And who is better in speech than he who [says: "My Lord is Allah (believes in His Oneness)," and then stands straight (acts upon His Order), and] invites (men) to Allah's (Islamic Monotheism), and does righteous deeds, and says: "I am one of the Muslims."} (Holy Quran-41:33)
 
The prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: "By Allah, if Allah guides one person by you, it is better for you than the best types of camels." [al-Bukhaaree, Muslim] 

The prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him)  also said, "Whoever calls to guidance will have a reward similar to the reward of the one who follows him, without the reward of either of them being lessened at all." 
[Muslim, Ahmad, Aboo Daawood, an-Nasaa'ee, at-Tirmidhee, Ibn Maajah]
