AbdulBary Yahya – Do you love the Prophet (s) more than yourself?

About this lecture

In this lecture, Sheikh Abdul Bary Yahya explores the Islamic obligation of loving the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ more than one's own self, drawing on the story of the weeping tree trunk, the hadith of Umar ibn al-Khattab, and the heroic example of the companion Khubaib ibn Adi. He challenges the audience to move beyond a passive claim of love by learning the Seerah, increasing their prayers, and sending salawat upon the Prophet ﷺ regularly. The lecture is followed by a thoughtful Q&A on translating individual piety into collective Muslim practice.
