In this episode Dr. Abou El Fadl discusses the concerning rise in Muslims eliminating the mention of the Prophet Muhammad and his family from their ritual prayers, the lack of humility of the modern Muslim, and the arrogant pretenses of a defeated people, vulnerable to the propaganda of Islamophobia and hatred of the family of the Prophet.

0:00 – Intro
1:50 – If you don’t define your own consciousness, your opponents define it for you
4:17 – Sudden mass concern about the mentioning of the Prophet in ritual prayer
5:35 – Low view count of this Sirah series are indicative of the lack of interest amongst Muslims in the life of the Prophet and the true pursuit of the Sunnah
8:55 – We worship God on God’s terms, not on our terms; the deities of the modern mind are reflections of their own consciousness
12:10 – Old magical systems: “do what you will” is the law; no moral limits
14:33 – Projecting rules onto God: “the Prophet should not hold a special status above other people!”
17:40 – To access God, God commands that we do so God his prophets
18:36 – None of us will attain heaven by our deeds alone; we need God’s grace and the intercession of the prophets; only human ego and hubris rejects this
21:25 – Rule of humility before God: elevating the status of the Prophet teaches us our proper place; humility and gratitude relationship
22:44 – What the Prophet Muhammad gave us is the path to God! Imagine minimizing this contribution or being disinterested; no gratitude and no humility
24:00 – The effect of propaganda on a defeated people is demonstrable by acting hyper defensive & feeling threatened and accused; this is a spiritual ailment; compensated by hubris and arrogance
25:43 – Have you ever reflected on the recitations of prayer upon the Prophet and his family in the ritual prayer?
28:50 – Who does not want the attention of the Prophet? What happens when you pray for peace for the Prophet?
31:00 – Why do modern Muslims never complain about praying for the Prophet Abraham in prayer, but only the Prophet Muhammad
31:35 – Genesis of anxiety about prayer for the Prophet is due to the mention of the Family of the Prophet (Ahl al-Bayt); The Family of the Prophet were specially blessed moral exemplars who always protected the core of the Islamic message and the Sunnah of the Prophet; subduing the ego.
38:41 – One of the most dangerous tricks of the devil: “Moral path of the Prophet is equal to all other ‘paths’”; God determines the path, not you!
