Prophet’s Lover Foundation releases a message regarding “Mawlid Nabi”
The Prophet’s Lovers Foundation, an Islamic organization based in Diyarbakır, Turkey, has issued a message on the occasion of Mawlid Nabi, the observance of the birthday of the Islamic prophet Muhammad (PBUH).
The full text of the message is as follows:
In the name of Allah, most gracious and most merciful
All praise is due to Allah (Jalla Jalaluhu) the Lord of all worlds. Prayers and peace be upon our Prophet, Muhammad (PBUH), his family, and all of his companions.
1) The Compass of the Qur'an and Sunnah and Our Guide to Salvation is Prophet Muhammed (Peace Be Upon Him)
In contrast to the aging years, tired times, and needs that have succumbed to circumstances, the sole path to salvation is to take refuge in the comprehensiveness of the Qur’an and Sunnah. The message Quran and Sunnah which transcends the ages is a universal message with its steadfast stance, and the answers it gives to the needs of every moment and time. This message, which has been getting younger and younger as time has gotten older, is the sacred and inviolable line of the supreme Islamic religion. At the same time, the Holy Qur'an, the principles of faith and worship, the prophets, the holy masjids (Masjid al-Haram, Masjid al-Nabawi, Masjid al-Aqsa) are part of this sacredness. Verbal and physical attacks on these values, which are brazenly organized, are unacceptable delusions. Those who try to extinguish the light of Allah with their mouths are doomed to be lost in the dark pages of history today, as they were yesterday. All honor and glory belong to Allah, to His messenger.
2) Our guide to salvation is Prophet Muhammed (PBUH), an excellent example of good moral character.
Compassion, respect, affection and good moral character are the factors that keep society together. No army can defeat a community that has been formed by brothers whose hearts beat together. The treatment of a century suffered from social and spiritual diseases is possible with good morals. The brotherhood civilization of the holy Islam has turned people who kill each other into people who die for each other. The verse from the Holy Qur’an that says “the believers are but one brotherhood, so make peace between your brothers. And be mindful of Allah so you may be shown mercy” is the general motto of all Muslims. The most suitable precedent for this phenomenon is the brotherhood formed among Muslims in the Age of Bliss (in Arabic Asr-I-Saadah). Prophet Muhammed (PBUH), who brings out distinguished people in the center of disbelief and polytheism, is the only leader and unique guide of Muslims.
3)The pathfinder of unity and brotherhood is our guide to salvation Prophet Muhammed (PBUH).
We have many brothers in distant countries whose names are unknown, who are not talked to, and whose stories are not known. Although they have different colors and languages, they are members of a single Ummah. All oppressed people who have been separated from each other, divided into regions, borders placed between their fraternities, and whose fraternity has been disrupted by dirty tricks are the oppressed sons of the Islamic World. This gut-wrenching situation tells us about the oppression displayed in Palestine, the bloodshed in Arakan, the cry of East Turkestan, the helplessness of the Syrian oppressed, the poverty of Bangladesh, and the hunger of Yemen. The fragmentation of the Muslim community gives courage to the oppressor. As Muslims, we must be brothers like Prophet Muhammed said in a hadith: “Do not hate each other, do not envy each other, do not turn away from each other, but rather be servants of Allah as brothers.” (Bukhari, Adab 62)
4)The essence of peace and happiness is our guide to salvation Prophet Muhammed (PBUH).
The way to peace and security in the whole world is possible by observing the rights and laws of all people. The invading imperialist terror states are responsible for the blood and tears shed in all parts of the world. Nobody should expect any favor or benefit from these evil centers that set the world on fire for the sake of their national interests. The fire they burn also harms their own country and people. The wars and conflicts incited in the oppressed countries paves the way for the upbringing of murderers who desire insanity and chaos, as well as loveless and emotionless individuals, sadistic monsters in imperialist countries. The prescription of salvation offered by the Prophet (Peace Be Upon Him) to humanity is the guarantee of peace in the whole world.
5) Our Salvation Guide is Prophet Muhammad. (Peace be upon him), the Blessed Recipe of Blessing and Power
The unjust gains of international global capital and the results of the waste culture have created a serious economic crisis. This economic crisis, which has taken the whole world under its influence, mostly affects the oppressed, victimized and deprived geographies. It is our Islamic and human responsibility to come to the aid of our brothers and sisters in need of bread. “What is the matter with you that you do not spend in the way of Allah? However, the inheritance of the heavens and the earth belongs to Allah…”(Surat al-Hadid-10) In both worlds, the way to real happiness is not hidden in selfish and unlimited spending. The formula to be happy in the mortal world is to enjoy sharing only for the sake of Allah (that celâluhu).
6) The Source of Peace and Happiness, Our Salvation Guide is Prophet Muhammad. (Peace be upon him)
Our children, who are the most beautiful ornaments of the world's life, and our spouses, in whom we find peace, are the future and guarantee of a healthy society. The material and spiritual construction of society is possible with the hands of dynamic and vigorous generations. Righteous children are like a permanent charity. They are like a good charity that does not close the book of good deeds. One should be vigilant against the methods of corruption that instill immorality in society. The reason for the unrest in family life and the increase in divorces is illegitimate immoral relationships. The happiness of individuals and societies in both worlds is possible by giving their families an Islamic education and protecting them from immoral relations. Every Muslim has responsibilities in this struggle.
7) The Best Example for the Revival of Confidence and Righteousness is Our Salvation Guide, Prophet Muhammad. (Peace be upon him)
Establishing an environment of trust in a society is for the benefit of all individuals. In societies where the safe environment is damaged, the environment of trust is replaced by restlessness and insecurity. There are five basic principles that must be protected in Islamic law. These are life, religion, mind, property, and generation. The protection of these five basic principles, called "Zarurat-ı Diniyye" or "Zarurat-ı Hamse", is the responsibility of both the individual and the society/state. In societies where people do not respect each other's rights, crime and criminals increase. In the words of Master Bediuzzaman, “Our enemy is ignorance, poverty, and conflict. The statement "We will jihad against these three enemies with the weapon of art, ingenuity, and alliance" is a good statement for educating society. The education methods that the Prophet used in raising human beings are the most beautiful and ideal methods for us to follow.
8) The cure for health and well-being is our Salvation Guide, Prophet Muhammad. (Peace be upon him)
In the basic principles of Islam that offer life, there is a cure for all material and spiritual diseases. Technology addiction and virtual games are one of the great destructions caused by the internet, which dominates many areas of life. Increasingly depressive symptoms in society, aggression, insanity, state of chaos are the most important indicators of addiction to the internet and technology. With the increase in financial opportunities, the introduction of computers in many homes, unlimited internet packages, smart mobile phones, etc., increase internet addiction day by day. The way to get rid of addiction is through a solid prophetic education. Mobilization should be declared with prophetic education against the technology addiction disease that endangers our future.
