Adnan Rajeh – Performing Dawah – Outreach #04

Buchare, you a Muslim? Could Have

you saw Hey, I said. And then Abu Asmaa call Ali Ali, the haritonai

collection of both Imam buchare and Muslim, and it is read to us

by sahali bin Saad, and he tells us what the prophet Ali Islam told

Sayyidina Ali one day, and the theme is outreach and Dawa,

and I'll narrating a number of Hadith over the next week or so or

more. And this is the cornerstone Hadith, or one of the strongest

and one of the shortest and easiest to remember, and probably

the one that has the most impact on this concept. And I nafeed Over

the last couple of nights, and I left it for today, just to kind of

build build up towards it. And so he said, ala ya saw some kala. And

he told this, Ali Kala and yahadi, Allahu, bika, rajulan, wa hidden,

haul min Hari, Naam. But he said, ala ya saw any Hadi Allah, if

Allah was to guide through you, one person,

one person. He used the term Wahid and alaihi salatu. He said one

just to make it if Allah was to guide through you. And he uses

that term yahadi abuka, because you, we don't guide, I don't

guide, and neither do you. We encourage we.

And he

put on a good, good form of role modeling. We inspire, we teach,

but we don't guide. Guide isn't something that comes from Allah

subhanahu wa but he guides Subhana wa Taala through people. A lot of

what he does Subhana wa Taala happens through people. A lot of

what you receive in your life, whether it's provision or any

knowledge you don't it doesn't just drop from the sky. Happens

through people. It's coming from Allah, subhanaw taala, it was

happening through people. And guidance is the same.

But he's telling Sayyidina Ali is if Allah guides someone through

you, just one person through you, it's better for you thanhammer and

Nam is a it's a word that the Arab used to describe the best of dunya

the most, the most, and the best of it and Nam is from Anam, which

is livestock. And helmur and naam are livestock that have a reddish

color to them, and they were seen as the most valuable, like the

most expensive of them all, because they were beautiful to

look at. So it's like being so he's telling you it's better than

all the riches of the world that you live in. It's better if Allah

guides one person through you. It's better than all the riches in

the world. If you're if you have to choose between ya rab, give me

all the money in the world, versus you use me. It's certain that you

guided Quran through me. It's certain, it's verified that if

Quran was guided through me, then that's better. It's way better.

It's way better than being given all of the riches of the world,

even though you may take those riches and use them in great ways

and spend them, but you never know as you do that whether it's

certain that when you used all these riches, that they actually

works, that Allah actually verified for you that, yes, I

accept these riches that you spent in sadaqah, if he can, if one

person is in a verifiable manner, guided through you, it's better

than all the riches in the world.

Just to be guided like you have to think of things that way. Though

like this requires a mindset where, ya rab, you're gonna guide

people. You're gonna guide people. Ya rab, of course, may it be

through me. Ya rab, make it through me. Don't put me aside and

guide them through others. No, no. Use me. Keep me as the tool that

is you're going to use for that, because he can easily put you

aside and guide through other people. They can guide his he can

guide those who deserve to be guided and whom he wants to guide

through others. And then you're standing alone, and it's not

happening through you anymore. You're not getting anything. It's

the value of guidance happening through you that Allah subhanahu

choses you to send guidance through you. It's a very valuable

thing, and you spend the rest of your life. You can understand this

hadith, the rest of your the rest of your life, just ya rab. Never

substitute me, never put me on the bench. Just keep me. Keep me as

the tool that you'll use to guide people. And you're so grateful

that Allah is using you to guide, guide people that you want nothing

else. Because what else would you want? If every person that Allah

guides through you is better for you than all the riches in the

world, then on a daily basis, you are making more money than you

could ever imagine in your life. Anyways, so what else do you want?

It's all an issue of mindset and perspective, and that's what he

told said nali. You know what he told Sayyidina? Undo this. You

know what he told him?

Anyone know

what did he tell him this alias he was going towards.

He was carrying the he was carrying it, and he was marching

towards khabar to fight. He told him, by the way, if Allah guides

one person through you, it's better than whatever riches you

may think exist behind the walls of that castle over there, because

once you get through.

Castle, the riches the Muslims were hungry, they would eat

because of the riches that existed behind the walls of that castle. A

lot of them like, let's get through these * walls so we

can have food and not be cold at night. So he tells them, the

guidance of one person is better than whatever happens if you go

through war and get all the riches on the other side. And that's when

he chose to teach him and desaratos and I find that to be

absolutely magnificent and worthy of magnificent and worthy of

reflection. I hope that was beneficial to you. Yay. Hadith

beside and then Abu Asmaa, Ali Lani, Hadi

Allah.
