He is in control of our lives. He provides for us. He has nurtured. He has given. He grants cure to us.

And he is who we are going to return to. So we always praise him upon all conditions.

We praise Allah upon all conditions. And we send blessings and salutations upon Allah.

Because Allah chose him. When Allah chose him to be the best of creation, the most high of all the prophets of Allah.

Sohana wa ta'ala, we cannot become jealous when Allah chooses someone above us.

You are not Nebi or Prophet. I am not Nebi or Prophet. Allah chose who is the Nebi.

We have to acknowledge that. When Allah raises one above the other, we must acknowledge it.

Because Shai'a'am Iblis, his crime at the beginning was he said,

He said, I am better than Adam. You created me from fire. You created him from soil.

So I am better than him. But Allah, Sohana wa ta'ala says, because he denoted that we raised Adam above him.

So we cursed him. So if you and I want to be protected from curse, we need to acknowledge the favor that Allah has bestowed upon some above the others.

Primarily, Muhammad ﷺ is the highest. He is the most noble of all the prophets of Allah.

The greatest of all the creation of Allah, Sohana wa ta'ala. That is why we sent blessings and salutations upon him.

It is the instruction of Allah.

Mansa Allah alaihi wa rahidatun sallallahu alaihi min ala rahsha'a.

Whoever sends blessings and salutations upon Muhammad ﷺ,

one time Allah said, he will send, he will bless them ten times.

So if I want blessings, I need to send blessings upon Muhammad ﷺ.

Now why am I giving you this introduction?

Number one, I said, alhamdulillah ala ala ala ala ala ala ala ala. We thank Allah upon all conditions.

I want to tell you it is my first trip to Indonesia. It is my first time I am coming to Jakarta.
