The Prophet of Purity & Relief ﷺ
Delivered by Shaykh Riyadh ul Haq on Friday 14th October 2022 at Al Kawthar Academy, Leicester

This talk elaborates on the attributes of the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ as mentioned in the Qur’an. Key points include the Prophet’s ﷺ unlettered nature and how his role is to guide, instruct, and inspire people towards good (Ma’rouf) while forbidding evil (Munkar). The talk emphasizes the necessity of understanding these terms in both moral and spiritual contexts, asserting that societal norms often shape one’s perceptions of good and evil. The discussion takes into account the balance of positivity and negativity in religious teachings and emphasizes the unrealistic expectations individuals may have in wanting only positive reinforcement from spiritual leaders.

The talk further illustrates the Prophet’s ﷺ behaviour through various examples, showing how he handled confrontations with calmness and wisdom while also adhering to moments of justified anger. The talk also involves a detailed discussion on the significance of lawful and unlawful practices, outlining how adherence to halal brings about spiritual purity.

Ultimately, the message conveyed revolves around recognizing the beauty of the Prophet’s ﷺ teachings as a means of liberation and relief from burdens, culminating in a prayer for understanding and following the Prophet’s ﷺ Sunnah.
