'Your Companionship, oh Messenger of Allah?' One of the beautiful blessings of Islam is that once we become Muslim, we inherit an international family, our Muslim ummah. We are all brothers and sisters in Islam, and yet our souls will gravitate to some people while not feeling a very strong connection with others. I want each one of you to tell me who your best friend is and tell me why you feel so close to them. Did you know that on the Day of Judgment, there will be seven groups of people who will be shaded on the day there is no shade? One of those groups is two people who loved each other for the sake of Allah ﷻ. Does anyone know who the Prophet Muhammad’s ﷺ best friend was? Yes, Abu Bakr as-Siddeeq! One of my absolute favorite parts of the seerah is when the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ, is preparing to leave Mecca and perform the hijrah to Madina. This is an extremely dangerous time for the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ because all of the Qurayshi tribes have decided that they are going to assassinate him. He knocks on his best friend’s door and immediately Abu Bakr, who has been preparing and hoping for this moment asks the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ: 'الصحبة يا رسول اللَّة؟' 'Your companionship, oh Messenger of Allah?' When the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ responds in the affirmative, Abu Bakr starts crying tears of joy. He is so happy to accompany the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ on this extremely dangerous, but blessed journey. When I think of the love that the companions had for one another, I pray that all of you get to experience this love for the sake of Allah ﷻ as well. Even before the Ansar (Muslims of Madina) meet the Muhaajirun (Muslims from Mecca), they were ready to give them their money, food, and shelter in order to help them. Allah ﷻ says about the Ansar: 'And [also for] those who were settled in al-Madinah and [adopted] the faith before them. They love those who emigrated to them and find not any want in their breasts of what the emigrants were given but give [them] preference over themselves, even though they are in privation. And whoever is protected from the stinginess of his soul - it is those who will be successful,' (Surat al Hashr, aya 9). It is one of the most cherished gifts that Allah ﷻ can give each and every one of you. عَنْ أَبِي مُوسَى عَنْ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ إِنَّ الْمُؤْمِنَ لِلْمُؤْمِنِ كَالْبُنْيَانِ يَشُدُّ بَعْضُهُ بَعْضًا وَشَبَّكَ أَصَابِعَهُ The Prophet Muhammad said, 'The believers (in their mutual support) are like a structure, parts of which support other parts,' and he interlaced his fingers, (Sahih Bukhari). I pray Allah blesses you all with this type of beautiful suhba in your lives.

* لما كان الشحُّ مَجمَعَ رذائل، حذَّرَنا منه رسول الله ﷺ بقوله: (واتَّقوا الشحَّ، فإن الشح أهلكَ من كان قبلكم، حملَهم على أن سفكوا دماءهم، واستحلُّوا محارمهم) نعوذ بالله منه.
* إن الشحَّ أشبه بعدو متربص بنفس الإنسان يتحين غفلةً منه لينقضَّ عليه ويفتك به، وقد وعد الله من اتَّقاه بالفوز والفلاح.
* أنصار الله هم الذين يحبون أولياء الله وينصرونهم، دون نظر إلى حسب أو نسب أو منفعة ممكنة، وهكذا كان الأنصار رضي الله عنهم وأرضاهم.
* أمارة صدق الإيمان حب المؤمنين والحَدَب عليهم والسعي في حوائجهم، ومواساتهم بالنفس والمال.
* من استقام على الإيمان واليقين، غدا الإيمان وطنَه ومستقره الذي يأوي أبدًا إليه، ولا يجد السكينة إلا فيه.
* سلف الأمة من المهاجرين الأولين والأنصار المتقين هم خيرُ الناس، وما أحر
