Abdul Nasir Jangda – Al Islam – The greatest blessing

			Bismillah Alhamdulillah wa Salatu was Salam ala Rasulillah he was only he was he edge Marine, said
Mr. Aiken, Warahmatullahi Wabarakatuh. Who
		

			shall I want to keep my comments here? Very, very brief. First and foremost,
		

			when we talk about the blessing of Islam, there's a particular story that resonates with me. From
the time from the life of the Prophet salallahu, alayhi wasallam, which really demonstrates and
illustrates the beauty of Islam, the blessing of this Deen in this religion that we have been
blessed with, that we have been granted that is the greatest of blessings. It's a story of a man by
the name of Tufail, even armor, he belong to a tribe called a dose. This is a fairly large tribe,
with, you know, about AD extended families. Right at that time is firstly how tribes were
structured. You had about 80 100 Don's at extended families. So it was quite a bit of people 10 to
		

			15, maybe 20, even 30 people per extended family. So from there, you can estimate how large of a
tribe it was. There were a couple of 1000 people almost. And he was a leader of his tribe. And he
was known as maybe the most intelligence and talented member of the tribe. He was unseen to be an
intellectual. He was a poet. He was very culturally and socially respected, and very articulates. He
heard about the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam in the early days of Makkah, he went to Makkah
himself to investigate. When he arrived there, he was warned by the leaders of the Quraysh, the
opposition to the Prophet sallallaahu, salam, they said, Don't listen to him. He said, I want to
		

			talk to Muhammad salallahu Alaihe Salam, I want to hear what he has to say. They said no, no, don't
listen to him. His words wheeling transou.
		

			He practices sorcery, magic. He's a poet. He's crazy. He's possessed. Well, I got the biller, they
said all these terrible things about the prophets, a lot of them and they said, Don't listen to him.
Because if his words fall into your ears, he will put you under his spell. And he said, I don't know
why. But I became so intimidated by what they were saying. And this sounds very familiar to us
today. We're constantly being told
		

			that no, no, be careful. Don't say this. Don't do that.
		

			Right. And it's given all types of labels to be called extreme or conservative or fundamentalist, to
be too hardcore. To be too strict, to be too harsh.
		

			And all these people will criticize you and all these bad things will happen to you.
		

			But know, Allah and His Messenger salami, Jim are telling you something else.
		

			So same way to fame says I got intimidated by them. Just like a lot of us get intimidated today.
That I'm not going to practice a part of my deen or religion, I'm not going to confess what I
believe in
		

			because of the intimidation.
		

			So he says I stuck my ears with cotton.
		

			I stuffed my ears with cotton. So I wouldn't come across him. And then he says one day when I was at
the Haram at the Kaaba,
		

			and I saw the Prophet salami Sunday, and I looked at him and I recognize from his face. This is the
face of an intelligent, honorable, trustworthy person. This is not the face of a liar. This is not
the pace of a charlatan, this is not the face of somebody who is making trouble. He doesn't look
troublesome. He looks peaceful.
		

			So he says that I took the cotton out of my ears. And I followed him to his home.
		

			And I asked him, please share your message with me.
		

			And you recited the Quran to me.
		

			And in that moment, I knew that I was interacting with the truth. So I became Muslim.
		

			And I spent some time with the Prophets a lot. He said him and then he told me go back to your home,
go back to your town, go back to your village and share this message with your people.
		

			He said but I see there's a there's a point that I'd like to make before I continue the story.
		

			In terms of accommodating people, in terms of being more approachable, being more accommodating,
being more friendly.
		

			There are people that will tell us that our deen or our religion
		

			And or our message or what we believe in needs to change.
		

			And we will completely and totally reject that.
		

			What Allah subhanaw taala said in the Quran is 100% Perfect, it is the truth. It is the Huck. What
there is no guidance better than the guidance of the Quran, there is no example better than the
example of the Prophet salallahu Salam, never compromise your faith. Never compromise on what you
believe. But what can we change, we can change how we talk to people, we can change how we behave
with people, how we interact with people. That's where we should learn better character. That's
where we should learn to be more generous. That's where we should learn to be more kind to be more
emotionally intelligent. But do not alter, do not change your Deen in your religion for anything.
		

			There are a lot of voices, even in the Muslim community, on the fringes of the Muslim community,
that are calling for reform and change of our religion that want to reinterpret and revisit what we
believe in. No, no, we will not entertain that. We don't need to, because there are the ideas of
man, there are the ideas of human beings. And then there is the revelation from Allah Himself.
		

			It is the thoughts of the creation and the truth from the Creator.
		

			And so to fail, he goes back to his people but he's very harsh with them. He says either become
Muslim or I cannot deal with you. They say okay, we choose not to deal with you.
		

			So he got very like upset. He comes back to the prophets, Allah the salam, the prophets, Allah he
says, What are you doing back here I told you to go back live with your people and share a song with
them. And he says that in the dosa, in the dosa, Nicola Messina will cover they are addicted to
fornication and intoxication
		

			their quote unquote bad people.
		

			For the Allahu Allah him make dua that Allah destroys them, oh messenger of Allah. So the prophets,
Allah Islam raised his hands to make dua
		

			and the Sahaba see that when we saw him raise his hands, we said in the dose and the halachot doses
dead, because the Prophet is going to pray against him.
		

			But when the prophets Allah Nizam opened his mouth, the words came out Allahumma de Dosen when
narration says he said it three times, Allah Who Magneto said what TV him Allah who don't send what
TV tvm Allahu Magneto sinuata TV him Oh Allah guide the people of dos and bring them to Islam bring
them to me bring them here. Oh Allah guide the people of dos and bring them here. Oh Allah guide the
people of dos and bring them here.
		

			And to fail he then told to fail. eater Jerry la Komik now go back to your people. Further Oh,
homie, LOL Islam, call them to Islam. Were folk be him and be kind and gentle with them.
		

			Be kind and gentle with them. That is the blessing of Islam. And what happened 10 years later, the
Sahaba say
		

			to fail returned. But this time he came to Medina and actually yet to come to Haber. Because the
prophets Olson was on Haber.
		

			But to fail returned a decade later.
		

			But when he came, he had over 1000 people with him. The Horizon became covered. They came over the
hill and it became completely covered with people. He came with over 1000 people and he said they
are all here to become Muslim. And one of those people that came that day to become Muslim was none
other than a boo hoo radar or the Allahu Anhu.
		

			That is the blessing of Islam.
		

			That is the blessing of our deen in our religion.
		

			So I wanted to conclude here
		

			by sharing some of the fruits of our deen in our religion. Allah subhanaw taala tells us in the
Quran in Medina in the law Hill Islam,
		

			that this way of life, Islam, this is the chosen religion by Allah. This is what Allah subhanaw
taala wants for you that the prophets Allah Allah subhanaw taala tells us for us even more to how
can he Dini Hanifa FITARA Tala Hila T Fatah, renessa Allah, this is in tune with our inherent
nature. This is the natural inclination that Allah has built us with that Allah has created us with
that we turn towards the worship of Allah subhanaw taala that the religion of Islam is centered and
focused around devotion to Allah, the oneness and the devotion to Allah. Boo Allahu Ahad Allah

religion of beautiful, noble honorable character. Where did the prophets Allah the Selim says, In
nama Boris to Luton, me my Makati Mala clock, I was sent to perfect and to complete noble character,
good character, honorable behavior. May Allah subhanaw taala grant us the ability to practice Islam
		

			properly. May Allah subhanaw taala grant us consistency upon our faith, consistency upon our
religion, and may Allah protect us from the corruption that is being introduced upon this community.
May Allah protect it from that corruption. I mean, the horrible al Amin Giselle Kamala Hayden was
