Obedience to the Messenger ﷺ
Delivered by Shaykh Riyadh ul Haq on Friday 2nd December 2022 at Al Kawthar Academy, Leicester

This talk emphasizes the multifaceted relationship between believers and the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ, anchored in belief, support, love, and the essential aspect of obedience. The talk points out that simply believing in the Prophet ﷺ is insufficient; it is crucial for believers to actively follow his teachings and implement them in their lives to achieve true guidance and success. The talk illustrates the significance of obedience through various Qur’anic verses, where the disobedience of the Prophet ﷺ directly correlates with the disobedience of Allah, highlighting the severe consequences of ignoring this relationship.

The talk reminds the audience that even close familial ties, such as those of the Prophet’s ﷺ wives or children, do not guarantee salvation if they fail to follow him.

Furthermore, the talk stresses that a true connection with the Prophet ﷺ must be demonstrated through actionable obedience and that cultural or familial sentiments alone cannot serve as a substitute for embracing and following his teachings.

The discussion warns against the inclination to mock or deride those who practice the Sunnah, as this reflects a deeper issue of personal belief and devotion. It concludes by underscoring that the believer’s ultimate success hinges on their commitment to both loving and obeying the Prophet ﷺ, showcasing the necessity of this duality for salvation in the hereafter.
