 Assalamu alaikum. In the name of Allah, the beneficent, the merciful, respected viewers, brothers and sisters in Islam, peace and blessings of Allah be upon you all. Welcome to Moulz Al Minis. This is Muhammad Ali and now we are to talk about obedience. Obedience has two definitions. One of them is linguistics and the other is technical. Linguistically, obedience means agreement and submission to comply with what someone in authority orders. Technically, obedience is abiding by the orders of Allah and avoiding his prohibitions. Allah is the creator, the commander, so all people should do what he orders. But the real question is how we are supposed to be obedient towards Allah. We obey Allah through his prophets and specifically for Prophet Muhammad peace be upon him. It is through following and acting upon what the prophet peace be upon him and his progeny has advised us that we reach our goal. In the Holy Quran, Allah says, the prophet has a higher claim of the believers than they have on their own selves. When an individual believes in the divine message of Allah, they have automatically believed in the prophethood of Prophet Muhammad peace be upon him. They cannot simply obey Allah without obeying the prophet. In the Holy Quran, Allah has made the specific point quite clear. Regarding this, Allah says, it is not fit for a believer, man or woman, when Allah and his messenger have decreed a matter that they should have any option in their decision. And whoever disobeys Allah and the messenger has indeed strayed in a plain manner. Allah also says, and we have sent you Muhammad as a messenger to mankind. And Allah is sufficient as a witness. He who obeys the messenger has indeed obeyed Allah. But he who turns away, then we have not sent you as a butcher over them. Allah is giving us a clear warning about disobeying what Prophet Muhammad peace be upon him and his progeny has commanded us. There is no better example for us than the Prophet Muhammad peace be upon him and his progeny and we have to take what he has given us and we have to abstain from what he peace be upon him and his progeny has forbidden us. Nor does he speak of his own desire. It is no less than revelation sent down to him. We can see that we are obliged to obey what Prophet Muhammad peace be upon him and his progeny has commanded us as the verse indicates he peace be upon him and his progeny did not speak of his own desires but he spoke what was revealed to him by Allah. It is not as if Muhammad peace be upon him and his progeny came up with his own laws and regulations but anything that Muhammad peace be upon him and his progeny has commanded for us to do regarding Islam came from Allah. The Prophet peace be upon him and his progeny does not talk or command out of thin air rather he is commanded by Allah to distribute his divine message and through obeying the Prophet peace be upon him and his progeny we in return obey Allah. With this said, respected viewers, brothers and sisters in Islam we reached the end of our show for now. Thank you very much indeed for watching and don't forget the Dua to hasten the reappearance of the master of our time His Majesty Imam al-Mahdi may Allah hasten his reappearance and peace be upon him and his progeny.
