ISLAM AS THE MERCY TO MANKIND.
3 characters of umatan rahmatan lil alamin. (Eid Adha Sermon Indonesian Embassy Qatar. 4 October 2014)
Islam is rahmatan lil alamin (Islam is the mercy to all mankind)
it sadden us that Islam as the beautiful religion has tainted with bad name, bad image. cause hatred, Islamophobia. stirred by media and done by those extremist. Prophet Muhammad PBUH teaches about Love in fact those who claim has faith should be filled with Love. as He said " whomever is not able to love they will be not loved. shows mercy to those in the earth so one in heaven will have mercy to you".

The preacher start to give example of the blind and limping Jew who was fed by Prophet Muhammad Pbuh for years. but when Prophet Muhammad passed away, Abu bakar siddiq Ra commanded that all the habit/sunnah of prophet Muhammad PBUH to be continued. Abu bakar feeding the blind Jew only to find him giving bad word and remind Abu bakar to stay away from Prophet Muhammad PBUH. yet he did not know that the person who he cursed was Prophet Muhammad pbuh the one who fed him for years.The Jew was crying as he did not know and not a single word from Prophet Muhammad to revoke him and yet still feeding him.
We feel sad when our prophet Muhammad PBUH humiliated by those ignorant yet we know he is our beloved who teaches us all thing in all aspects. if only they knew they will fall in love to Him.
The character of Umat rahmatan lilalamin.
1. Umatan wasathan
Umat middle part. we are always balance in harmony. we did not chose the left extremist those liberal who are free for everything neither we chose right extremist. who only thought that they are the only one right others are wrong and easy to takfeer others. we have been taught to harmonize everything we do in relationship to God and to Mankind. We have been taught that to give everything due to it's right. He said " No one ever made it difficult without it becoming too much for him. So avoid extremes and strike a balance, do the best you can and be cheerful, and seek Allah's help (through prayer) in the morning, and evening, and part of the night.".

2. Umatan Adil
we are fair community. JUSTICE. we have been taught that we have to be just even to the enemy. as God says " O you who believe! Stand out firmly for Allah and be just witnesses and let not the enmity and hatred of others make you avoid justice. Be just: that is nearer to piety, and fear Allah. Verily, Allah is Well Acquainted with what you do. (Quran 5;8). we been taught to do justice even if it is against our kin, ourselves. the poor or the rich etc.

3. Umatan who facilitate all matters in easy way.
our character is to make things easy and not to make things complicated. in our daily life. in work, in life Prophet said 'Make things easy (for people) and do not make them difficult, and cheer people up and do not drive them away.".

The preacher emphasis us to be in that character. so we become the sample ambassador of the beautiful Islam to others. Let the world degrade us yet we hold Islam because we know How beautiful it is. the preacher then ask us to pray to muslim in syiria, Iraq, palestine, Burma etc.
If you knew what the prophet (PBUH) did for you, you would fall in love with him, not just for you but for humanity"
