Abu Abdissalam – How to Stop Your Ship From Sinking

			How can we defend our Ummah, that Muslim nation from the moral decay of today's well and often
neglected wisdom of Aladeen holds the key to our salvation. Assalamu alaykum Warahmatullahi
Wabarakatuh I'm your brother about this and I'm speaking to you from the blessed city of Mecca.
That's what kettle mukarram Allah Subhan Allah to Allah tells us in the Quran, Walter coming from
OMA 20, the owner, Elan hiree Wyatt Maroondah Bill ma ruffian Hona Anil Moon car, Buddha Iike,
humulene, muffler home, let that arise out of you a group of people, inviting to all that is good
and forbidding all that is evil, and it is they who are the successful this iron is a call to action
		

			for all of us. But what does it actually mean? Before Islam the Arabian Peninsula was steeped in
moral corruption. Islam came to fix that, emphasizing the duty of enjoying good and forbidding evil
a mission carried by all the prophets in an age where everyone is living in their own little bubble
with their necks bent and their eyes glued to their phones, we forget that we humans were created by
Allah subhanaw taala to be social creatures, and that we depend on one another. In today's world, we
see an emphasis on individuality like never before, and this often leads to a detachment from the
collective well being of our ummah. While personal freedom is important, it does not mean that we
		

			have no responsibility in helping each other do what is most pleasing to Allah subhanaw taala our
religion teaches us the profound principle of enjoying what is good and forbidding what is evil, it
fills us with a compassionate concern for the well being of others, both Muslim and non Muslim
urging us to emphatically correct and support those veering towards harming themselves when we
ignore enjoying what is good, and forbidding what is evil, we're not just allowing individuals to
harm themselves, but also letting the fabric of our entire our entire community weaken. It's a
collective duty, a shared responsibility to uplift each other towards the path of righteousness and
		

			well being for the greater good of God. So let's get practical. Our Beloved Prophet Muhammad
sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said man ROM in Cameroon Koran, failure of a year will be ready for LM
Eastertide for Billy Sani for Illa Misrata for be kalbi, he was Holika, awful Iman. This means
whoever among you sees an evil, let him change it with his hand. And if he cannot, then with his
tongue, and if he cannot, then with his heart, and that is the weakest of iman or faith, it's not
always easy, but it's our duty. Suppose you see someone straying from the path. Your duty isn't to
criticize or belittle but to advise with wisdom, kindness and patience. Remember the prophets, I let
		

			him know salatu salam faced much opposition when they tried to guide their people, we have to be
prepared for challenges, but our intention should be clear, it must be for the love of Allah
subhanaw taala and for the betterment of the person that we're advising and ultimately, for overall
for our Ummah, notice the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam linked changing of Al mancha or evil
to the ability to do so. And the ability to change it depends on many factors. For example, the
parents of a child have the ability to change all mancha with their hands by prohibiting that child
and forbidding that child from it. However, in most cases, friends can't forbid each other from
		

			munkar, except by advising them or holding them against whatever sin they're doing, they will change
evil with their tongues. Likewise, if greater harm will come from advising the person, ie changing
the evil, even with the tongue, then when that happens, that's when changing it with your heart
becomes mandatory. In that case, you must at least hate that evil being done. And you must ask Allah
subhanaw taala to change it. And of course, in most cases, that also means if you hate something,
then you will walk away you won't be in that gathering where evil is being committed. This duty
isn't just for big acts of evil deeds of all sizes matter. So if a friend misses a prayer or bad
		

			bite someone, of course you should gently remind them but also if they're smoking, or dropping
litter, you should advise them to if someone is unsure about a certain practice, then guide them
kindly with evidence from the Quran and Sunnah. Or at least what the scholars say about that deed.
To affirm this meaning in our hearts, we think carefully about the following Hadith No man, even
Bashir, while the Allahu Anhu reported that the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said, the
likeness of the man who observes the limits prescribed by Allah, and that of a man who transgresses
them is like a pipe people who get on board as ship after casting lots, some of them are in the
		

			lower deck, and some of them are in its upper deck. Those who are in the lower deck, when they
require water, they go to the occupants of the upper deck, and they say to them, if we make a hole
in the bottom of the ship, we will not harm you. If they meaning the occupants of the upper deck
leave them to carry out their idea. They will
		

			We'll all be drowned. But if they do not let them go ahead with their plant, then all of them will
remain safe and this hadith in Bukhari Subhanallah what a profound statement it shows that even one
person doing a sin can affect the entire Muslim Ummah, if the people in the lower deck, create a
hole in the ship, it will drown everyone, it won't just drown those in lower deck. And that's why
the people in the upper deck should stop the people in the lower deck from creating holes in the
ship. So similar to this is how we should enjoin the good and forbid the evil because the entire
Ummah suffers this mission of enjoying good and forbidding evil is the backbone of a strong Muslim
		

			Ummah. Imagine how much change we could bring about, if we all took on this role, even in the
smallest of ways. Remember, most people they want to be closer to Allah, Most Muslims, they want to
be close to Allah. So by you advising them is often simply reminding them perhaps they forgotten
that this thing is a sin. Well, they just need a little push. But we have to be careful to do this
with the best of manners. Our approach should usually be gentle and respectful. Allah says in the
Quran and mentioned in the book of Prophet the story of Ibrahim alayhi salam, he was surely a man of
truth and a prophet. Remember when he said to his father, oh, dear father, why do you worship that
		

			which you can neither here nor see, nor does it benefit you at all? Oh, dear father, I have
certainly received some knowledge which you have not received. So follow me and I will guide you to
the straight path. Oh, dear father, I truly fear that you will be touched by a torment from the most
compassionate and become Satan's companion in *. He threatened the father threatened How dare you
reject my idols? Oh, Ibrahim, if you do not desist, I will certainly stone you to death. So be gone
from me for a long time. Ibrahim alayhis salam responded, peace be upon you. I will pray to my lord
for your forgiveness. He has truly been most gracious to me. As I distanced myself from all of you,
		

			and from whatever you invoke and make dua to besides Allah, I will continue to call upon my Lord
alone, trusting that I will never be disappointed in invoking my Lord. So after he had left them,
and what they had worshipped besides Allah, we granted him his hug and he called and made each of
them a profit from these ayat from the beginning, we can see the Prophet Ibrahim Ali son calling his
father to worship Allah, Allah and gently calling him Yeah, Alberty which is considered a gentle and
sweet way to refer to one's father. And even when his father said to him, If you do not desist, I
will certainly stone you to death. So be gone from me a long time. Ibrahim alayhi salam did not
		

			respond with anger. He did not raise his voice or insult his father, he simply said Salam, o
alaikum. Peace be upon you. I will pray to my lord for your forgiveness. If only we Muslims today
would learn from the prophets and follow their guidance. We will not have the problems that we have
today. May Allah subhanaw taala allow us all to practice and preach this army. So my dear brothers
and sisters, let us strive to be among those who stand up for what's right. guide with wisdom and
remain patient in the face of adversity. May Allah subhanaw taala grant us the strength to stand
firm in our demand and to guide others in joining the good forbidding the evil with wisdom and
		

			compassion. Joseph Campbell law Hey Ron, don't forget to share this video with others so that you
