The Prophet ﷺ: A Servant of Allah
Delivered by Shaykh Riyadh ul Haq on Friday 9th December 2022 at Al Kawthar Academy, Leicester

This talk outlines the attributes and names of Rasulullah ﷺ, focusing on how Allah has elevated him through various titles such as Nabi, Rasul, Muhammad, and Ahmad, emphasizing his revered position as “Abdullah” or servant of Allah. Several anecdotes reflect prophetic virtues, especially during significant moments in their lives, showcasing their humility in servitude toward the Creator. The talk emphasizes that true honour lies in the act of serving Allah, as demonstrated through instances from the lives of prominent prophets like Yusuf and Sulayman, who despite their elevated status remained humble servants of Allah.

The key point highlighted is that servitude should be embraced, and through this humility, individuals can forge a deeper connection with Allah. The talk concludes by urging everyone to adopt the spirit of servitude as exemplified by Rasulullah, promoting the understanding that one’s position in this world should be approached with the utmost humility, regardless of past glories or achievements. Through such a lens, the talk reinforces Islamic values of patience, respect, and servitude, advocating that humility before Allah is the ultimate sign of faith and piety.
