And then somehow in my childhood imagination I asked myself the question, do I love Prophet Muhammad?", + "And in my childish imagination, I could imagine that if the Prophet were in a military battle and somebody shot an arrow at him would I be willing to just jump and receive the arrow instead of the Prophet? And my answer was yes! I would be willing do that.", + "وقال عمر بن الخطاب يقول للنبي رسول الله ، أنا أحبك أكثر من أي شخص آخر ولكني وقل النبي له لا يا عمر هذا ليس إيماناً الإيمان سوف يكون مفتوحاً عندما كان الله وبه الأبوة سوف تكون أحبة بك أمامك وأنت ومن بعد بعض الأيام ذهب عمر وقاء", + "said, Rasulullah I love you more than I love myself and the Prophet said now Omar it is now your movement well years passed by from elementary to high school and to the surge of hormones and to beard and mustache", + "the hadith we took at school, that there are seven shaded by God's shade on the day of judgment when there is no shade but His. And one of them would be a young man who was raised in obedience to Allah. And I remember one day all my class...I was the youngest of my class, but all my", + "the trip to prostitution quarters in Cairo. At that time there was official prostitution in certain quarters, medically supervised by the states where for a little amount of money you could go and seek a woman. And I do remember that only myself and a friend who said no! I'm not going to do that this is haram.", + "new horizon to high school and university should keep it in mind no I will not do this because it is haram and to be in the company of God would never mean that you are in the minority, you are the majority but anyhow that was with me secondary education and later on when i became a doctor", + "but when he was younger, he was a very handsome young man. But he was always there and me has taken the decision that I'd rather heed him than the rest of the world. It is nice company if you have this concept with you.", + "people are with us today. And there came the stage when I finished high school and it was time to go to college, university. And I wrote application papers for four colleges in each of which I could see myself very fitting. The one", + "fighting for country and discipline, etc. And I had a very military personality as a young person. Then the School of Arts because by that time I already wrote poetry and made speeches, etc.. Then the school of law because I could see myself as an attorney defending people and convincing the judges. And then the medical school and I thank God that I chose the medical schools", + "school because you cannot go wrong in medicine. In the army, you might get killed but you kill. When you are an attorney almost 50% of the time you are defending false cities and taking money for it. The School of Arts I said I can be a writer and a poet without having to go through that college which came true later on", + "on the saying of the prophet that, The best of the people is the most beneficial to the people and that those who give compassion and mercy will receive compassion and Mercy. And this is the essence of the medical profession at least in my time when I was applying for medicine. This is the duty I cannot prevent you from attending to.", + "She is one of two or three persons who shaped my life really. And to Palestine I went and one of the Hadiths that came, I kept asking myself suppose we captured a Jew and they bring him to me? The enemy! That was the enemy. And until the day came, i was stationed in the city called Ramla", + "if you surrender, you are safe for your lives. If you do not surrender we will deal with you as we did in Dari-e-Sin. Dari e-Sins was a town where they slaughtered practically everyone except for three or four and of course the Islamic answer was we're not surrendering Gramlah if you really have any courage come and attack. Anyhow all the time they question", + "enemy how about if I get the enemy etc until one night there was a row and the crowd and seven Jewish people were wounded and captured and brought to the hospital and a crowd of people came to kill them in revenge for things the Jews have done before", + "وقد أرسلت المجتمعات، وأقوم بتوصيبهم لأهدافهم المشرفة وهذا كان مستحيلتي للناس. قمت بالنظام الأرباحيين وقال لهم أن ديننا لا يسمح بقتلك على قتلهم", + "anxiety telling them as long as you don't try to escape, you are of us and we will treat you like we treat our own. And it is amazing because later on there was exchange of prisoners and one of them stayed for a longer time in our hospital had a severe injury", + "with the Red Cross people he said, doctor I owe you my life and time passes and the 1967 defeat comes and goes etc. then I receive a letter from Switzerland name I don't know personally I don' t know and it says it's now 24 years since you saved my life in Ramallah", + "And last summer he went to Austria and stayed in that hotel. And by chance I find your name in the registry of the hotel, and I'm happy to write you, and he told me about himself and his little one-year-old son in 48 who is now quite a grown up, etc., and inviting me to go and visit them in Israel.", + "sensitive if you are an Arab in the Arab countries and you correspond with the enemy that was really a threat but I wrote to Switzerland they gave me a fake address and I told him of course I'm happy to hear from you etc. but I cannot come and visit, I cannot even write you again and later the letter comes since I wrote you things happened", + "attacked, then he was out. Then another heart lesion for which we had to have surgery and now what is this nonsense about you not being able to come visit? I'll arrange everything etc. I want my family to meet you and know you.\" And then it stopped and there was a new handwriting. A month later he passed away at the early age of 54. His wife finds", + "and he's very keen that you receive it with a gratitude that thanks your efforts. He was given an extra 25 years of happy life, wife and family. So I knew he'd do good, and the harvest might come quarter of a century later to get a thank you from the enemy. And I later on knew that the Jewish forces attacking Ramla when I was just outside it", + "decided had orders regarding my personal security on account of the stories told by those Jewish captives about the treatment we gave them. Anyhow, this was something settled by a saying of the Prophet about the prisoners of war and back from Palestine I went to Cairo and it was time to specialize in medicine that's why I was a general practitioner", + "practitioner and after a long thought I chose OBGYN. I had a post in medicine but I skipped it, and I specifically wanted to be an obstetrician-gynecologist you know why? Because paradise lies at the feet of mothers and in OBGYN how would we be treating", + "mother and the baby, I'll be treating in the service of motherhood. This is very recommended in Islam. Also used to argue with my friends that our department is the only department where the number of patients going out of it is more than those coming in. In any other department 100 go and 90 come out. With ours, 100 come and 400 go out.", + "go out. Then comes the Habib of the Prophet. Allah wants when you propose to do something, to excel in it and this stimulated my academic appetite really and Alhamdulillah I could garner all the top qualifications clinical", + "and academic at the time until I became a professor and chairman of my department. And all the time, I kept it in mind that the knowledge I give my students is like the Sadaqa Jariyah after I die. If they could treat their patients adequately, et cetera, I would have a share of that. By the time gradually", + "My attitude towards life tended to settle down a little bit, perhaps helped by the hadith of the Prophet that this world it is as if someone is on a journey and he finds a tree that has shade. And he naps in the shade for a little", + "the whole world and as a matter of fact it is except we don't see it because we are engulfed by the world, by the worlds. We don't detach ourselves enough to look and see things as they are. Whatever has a beginning has an end. We are born and we die and the rest is just crossing the bridge between this shore and the other shore. And so", + "The Prophet is saying that people are asleep. They wake up when they die, which is quite real. This is a fake world. This looks like a theater. But the real world is the one to come. And therefore, when we die, we will be rid of the earthly occupations of this world,", + "Getting money, getting knowledge, building up, raising children, competing for things, fighting wars, etc., etc. But all this is transient and the real world is yet to come. And therefore you should know that everything is transient.", + "know whatever calamity happens it will go. Whatever has a beginning as an end, as once when we were in the prison and they brought us out of the cells to powder us with DDT to kill the lice there was plenty of them. And I asked the guards, the policemen aren't there any news in the newspapers about releasing detainees?", + "And the man took off his belt and they thought he was going to beat me, which was their privilege at that time. No one could protest. But he said what is this? We all said it's your belt. He said this is its beginning so this is it's end. And then he said whatever has a beginning we'll say has an end.", + "And this is a very good thing to keep with you and to keep alive, especially in time of distress. Whatever has a beginning has an end.", + "said faith, al-iman. It's half his patience and the other half is thankfulness. And he said I am amazed to the affairs of the movement. He gets something sad, he is patient and it's good for him. He get something good, he's thankful and it is good for Him. And therefore one should have the patience as a value. In our life we lost a daughter in a car accident", + "or in a car accident, but patience. God I know you are testing us. I know that everybody would be the same in a year's time of the test in this first few moments. I am patient if this is your wish I accept it. She has been your trust with us she is now our trust with you. Patience and since 1958 was it?", + "morning, not in bitterness, not sadness, not tearfully but lovingly in memory God gave us and he was very generous and God took and it is all for our reward if we are patient enough. And having known patience in the life at large one should be patient particularly when one is angered suppose Hasan Abdullah comes", + "Abdullah comes and tells me Dr. Hassan you are son of so-and-so gravity teaches that you are a son of 60 souls but this is not the way of Imam, this was not the Way of the Prophet the prophet said the stronger person is not one who wrestles with people defeats them but the one who can control their own anger", + "anger and the young man went to the prophet to ask him, Prophet of Allah tell me what is the religion? And he said, personal follow up. To have a good manners. He said oh no no no, tell me about that religion. Have good manners? Oh Rasulullah tell me, what is religion? Have good manner. So the fourth time the prophet says don't you understand religion is not to get angry and keep it with you and try it and they think", + "and I think it will work wonders. Now you are patient, whether you're angry or not. One of the breakers of patience is when you have a ping pong type personality he tells me something I tell him even more tit for tat and this for that", + "And it begins to reflect on the tongue by your words before we go into actual battle, by your word. So are you a person not only for control of your anger but control your tongue? And again this was emphasized to me by the saying of the prophet when", + "And the prophet asked him, tell me something that would take me to heaven. And the Prophet said get your tongue out and the Prophet held it. And he said take good control of this, the tongue.", + "is the result of their tongues, of what they say. And therefore you should train yourself to control your tongue I tried that when I was a medical student and every morning before lectures we stood in front of the door of the classroom and you know we Egyptians are very fond of jokes and puns it is in our blood", + "competition and the palm competition etc. And I was very good at that. Until you could go, ahhh! That kind of thing. Until I decided that how about if I train myself one day a week would be my silent day? I will answer only if spoken to and I will give the minimal answer otherwise remain silent.", + "So many openings for a good joke. And I remain silent. And, I learned the lesson of my life. The most important and strong instinct is not sex, it's not food, it is talking. The overwhelming instinct of the human being is talking, and if you know how to control that, I think it would be a great asset.", + "Then comes the hadith that says, when you meet your brother with a smiling face it is a sadaqah. And this how was I discovered one of the secrets of my life, the smile.", + "your wife and go on burning, blah, blah. And one of them... I have seen it relayed through hundreds of my patients. Oh! He has a smile on his face. It makes you a more precious person and it puts you in the right attitude.", + "I read Surah Yasin and then I say my own dua that takes about half an hour. But one item of this dua, please Allah give us a loving nature and deny us not the blessing of the smile.", + "in a photograph or realistically. The smile, it seems is the prologue of appreciating the verse where Allah tells Muhammad we have sent you for none else but mercy to the worlds and so I would advise each one of you to try this smile at home, at work and even when you are by yourself", + "When the kuffar heard the Prophet and angel Jibreel came and said Allah sends his greetings, just tell me and I'll crumble those two mountains of Makkah over their heads. And the prophet would say leave me alone Jibreeel may it please you Allah to forgive my people for they do not know. The concept of forgiveness", + "and when he opened conquered Mecca, and they came potentially as slaves. And he said go you are the free people. When you think of it is there anyone of you who believes that you will not need God's forgiveness one day? You think you're going to paradise by the work you did, nice things and prayers?", + "No, it is the grace of Allah. And perhaps the day will come when you'll be asked what do you want? I want forgiveness. Did you give it? When you were able to forgive people if you want to be forgiven, be a forgiver and this came into my life again", + "I was the victim of other people and I once heard my brother, Maher saying about a dictator, a tyrant whom both of us were victims too one day. And he said, Oh Allah treat him with your justice", + "And I hit, where did you learn that cruelty? No. And I got myself against my appetite. And now I say in my long dua every day and forgive so-and-so and so-an-so-and so-n-so. And so-on-so! And his group. And make your forgiveness to them an extra reward for their victims. So it is as Omar teaches", + "but each is a win-win situation. One of my colleagues, a few years ago, accused me of murder that I killed the chief of police in Cairo in 1949, I think. Out of the blue it was not true at all and the earliest they said was Hasbi Adha when Amal Waqif", + "Later on all the time I felt a hesitancy. I wanted to say Allah, take him with your justice but I didn't. And then came the stage when I said Allah forgive him. But from behind my heart I didn' feel it. But I forced my tongue to utter it as a preliminary stage and now I'm quite comfortable at praying to Allah to forgive him", + "to forgive him because I know in my back account of forgiveness the more I put, the more i'll find when I need it. As a physician and as a Muslim, I came to realize the significance of a self if you find me doing something wrong don't just go and tell everyone that Raqoot is", + "doing this and that. Cover me, keep silent about it perhaps come and give me advice.\" The Prophet says if you think your brother is doing something wrong imagine 70 alternatives that he might not be doing the wrong thing but it has been a habit prevalent unfortunately", + "their back and to tarnish their reputation etc. etc. Although the Prophet tells us that if you uncover your brother, Allah will uncover you even in the privacy of your own home as perhaps happened last year in scandals in high positions and things like that but always be willing to cover go and give advice", + "but be willing to cover your brother and know that backbiting is eating the more forbidden flesh of your own brothers or sister. And know that there is a hadith, backbite invalidates wuduq and breaks the fast if you are fasting.", + "consider that very seriously and work on themselves because I believe that our hope for the future, our ammunition, our secret weapon is love. And love is a missing element in Muslim life now and unless we are a population who will", + "no place for hatred this is the way to be a Muslim and sometimes all of us know that the Prophet is good example to follow some of us follow him by wearing special clothing or eating special food etc. it is not the way of following the Sunnah of the prophet the way you follow the Sunna of the Prophet understand the prophet understand his psyche, his thinking", + "his heart and you'll find that if there is a key to the person of the prophet it was that he had a very loving nature i hope we all direct ourselves to the right way" + ] + } +] \ No newline at end of file
