The Sealed Nectar

 The Sealed Nectar by Shaykh Safi ur-Rahman

By Yusuf Estes, Former Christian Preacher

U2. Muhammad r taught people how to deal with the most extreme difficulties and tests that occur throughout our lives. He held that only through patience and a humble attitude would we find true resolution and understanding life's complications and disappointments. He was the most patient of all and was exemplary in his own humbleness. All who knew him had to admit to these virtues.

“O you who believe! Seek help in patience and the prayer. Truly! Allah is with the patient ones.” (Chapter2:Verse 153)
He explained this life was a test from Allah:
“And certainly, Allah shall test you with something of fear, hunger, loss of wealth, lives and fruits, but give glad tidings to the patient ones. Who, when afflicted with calamity, say: "Truly! To Allah we belong and truly, to Him we shall return." (Chapter 2:Verse 155-6)

V2. Muhammad r fasted for days at a time to be closer to Almighty God and away from the narrowness of worldly attractions.

“O you who believe! Observing the fasting is prescribed for you as it was prescribed for those before you, that you may become pious.” (Chapter 2:Verse 183)

W2. Muhammad r called for an end to racism and tribalism from the beginning to the end of his mission. He was truly the peacemaker for all times and all people.

“O mankind! (Allah) has created you from a male and a female, and made you into nations and tribes, that you may know one another. Verily, the most honourable of you with Allah is that (believer) who is one of the pious. Verily, Allah is All-Knowing, All-Aware.” (Chapter 49:13)

And in another verse of the Qur'an:

“O mankind! Have piety and be most dutiful to your Lord, Who created you from a single person (Adam), and from him (Adam) He created his wife (Eve), and from them both He created many men and women and fear Allah through Whom you demand your mutual (rights), and (do not cut the relations of) the wombs (kinship). Surely, Allah is Ever an All­-Watcher over you.”(Chapter 4, Verse 1)

X2. Regarding keeping up good relationships and bringing people back together after a falling out, the Qur'an says:

“And if two parties or groups among the believers fall to fighting, then make peace between them both, but if one of them rebels against the other, then fight you (all) against the one that which rebels till it complies with the Command of Allah; then if it complies, then make reconciliation between them justly, and be equitable. Verily! Allah loves those who are equitable.” (Chapter 49: Verse 9)

“The believers are nothing else than brothers to each other. So make reconciliation between your brothers, and fear Allah, that you may receive mercy.” (Chapter 49:Verse 10)

Y2. Muhammad r taught that Jesus u was the immaculate conception and miracle birth of Mary, and that she was one of the best creations of Almighty God. He insisted even to the Jews of Madinah, that Jesus u was the Messiah, the Christ, the one predicted to come in their Torah (Old Testament). He also taught that Jesus u did many miracles by the permission of Almighty God, curing the lepers, restoring sight to the blind and even bringing a dead man back to life, and he was not dead, rather Almighty God had raised him up. He also predicted Jesus u is going to return again in the Last Days to lead the true believers in a victory over the evil and unrighteous people, and he will destroy the Anti-Christ.

Z2. Muhammad r forbade any killing, even when his followers were being killed, until the order for retaliation came from Allah. Even then the limits were clearly spelled out and only those engaged in active combat against the Muslims or Islam were to be fought in combat. And even then, only according to very strict rules from Allah.
