His household his companions we ask Allah to bless them all to bless every one of us and to bless our offspring

those to come up to the end of time may Allah keep them steadfast on the Dean and may Allah keep us all steadfast as well

I mean my brothers and sisters it's important for us to look at Muhammad Salallahu alayhi wa sallam as the ideal role model

he is the only creature of Allah Subhanahu wa Ta'ala or human being whom we can look at from every aspect of his life

and say he's a role model when it comes to the rest of us we only take parts of what the person may have succeeded in and

consider them role models in that particular part alone let me give you an example a person who excels at university for example

they would be role models for those who want to excel at university even though that person may not be a good Muslim

you hear my point we don't take the part from them that they miss their salah or they may not be Muslim at all

we have Steve Jobs he's a role model for a lot of people in what that's the question just in one aspect of his life

we have for example some of your lecturers who might be brilliant people really dedicated selfless people

they are your role models in what in that particular aspect you have for example recited of the Quran

powerful reads beautiful he's got everything it needs to be able to render an eloquent beautiful heart wrenching recitation

he is a role model in what in reciting the Quran and so on and so forth you have someone who's got a lot of knowledge of the Dean

they are role models in what in that particular aspect I hope you get what I'm saying

similarly you have say an athlete a trainer in the gym whoever else it is role models we want to be like them in what in a little aspect of their lives

but Muhammad Salallahu Alaihi Wasallam no aspect of his life is not or no aspect of his life is not upon the highest level

it is all upon a level that is not only worth us following but it is considered an act of worship for us to follow

so this evening seeing that we speaking here at this beautiful university UCT University of Cape Town

Alhamdulillah I would like to go through one aspect of the life of Muhammad Salallahu Alaihi Wasallam

and I want it to be a means of inspiration for us all myself included

it is called waiting for the turning point in others
