Sheikh Saleh Lazare Speaks on True Love of the Prophet and his Progenies (AS)

The Evening lecture was delivered by Sheikh Saleh Ahmad Lazare from Niger Republic. He delivered his lecture on the Love of the Prophet and Ahlul Bayt(AS). Sheikh Lazare started by expressing profound gratitude to Allah for sending best of His servants to guide mankind. This is the greatest blessing to Muslims he added.

No body can get Allah’s acceptance except one who follow the Prophet’s foot steps in all his endeavor, Sheikh Lazare expressed, adding that despite the guidance and the mercy brought by the messenger, the only reward we can offer to him, according to Quran, is to love his household and progeny.

Thus, the Sheikh noted, the Prophet in one of his sayings commands the Ummah to train a child on three important things. They are: – Love of the Prophet, Love of his Progeny and Recitation of the holy Quran. He further noted that true love cannot be attained unless the knowledge and good understanding about the prophet is fully obtained and appreciated. He therefore called on Muslims to double effort in trying to know the holy Prophet and his Household so that true love can be expressed to them.

He added that imitating the Prophet and his progeny is a necessary duty upon all Muslims. he called the attention of the gathering about some bad things attributed to holy Prophet and a lot of people don’t pay heed to those issues which are mainly found in Sunni books of Hadeeth. He added that those sayings attributed to the Prophet, as found in Books, are not truly his sayings, they are purely fabrications by the enemies of Islam who raised to power in the name of Islam.

He therefore recommends further readings and research in other to have proper understanding of the status of the holy Prophet(AS).

In his speech, Sheikh Zakzaky commanded the effort the Speaker who made intensive research into Sunni books to get clear picture adding that during the advent of Islam some men accepted Islam with hope that when it leads the world, as they have heard about it, they can gain to leadership status. Others became Muslims when they were overpowered while some embraced Islam willingly. He expressed that after the demise of the prophet, those who became Muslims out of love of leadership, became leaders and changed Sunnah of the prohet to suit their agenda or to hide their defects.

Sheikh further noted that, despite all the effort the Suunah of the Prophet remains intact with some few people. They are the custodian of the Islam- the household of the Prophet(AS).

Ahlul bayt(AS) are the custodian of religion of Allah up to the Last Hour without them Islam would have been lost. He called on people to go into further readings and research.
