Adnan Rajeh – Performing Dawah – Outreach #16

Every good deed. Yay. Imam Al Bahati, you.

Timos, nadihibi, senadin Hassan and Khalid Ibn walidilahu, Anhu

qadil tadi, collection of Imam Al Bai ha TI. And he has a couple of

collections, I think this is the sunan, and it is narrated to us

with a reasonable generation by Sayyidina. Khalid does not have a

lot of a hadith, if any at all, that are narrated through him. And

this is really not much of a hadith, as much as it is him

telling us this his story, like how he accepted Islam. And it's a

long story. I'm just gonna take a little piece of it that I that I

find im arise when I was a kid, and I should probably never forgot

it. And it's just a it's just something in it that it just tells

you something about how he, how he his wisdom, alias Allah, to us. I

mean knowing how to speak to people, when and what to say, and

just this, this mastery of the of the craft and say the said Allah

Ali, who Ali wasallamish, had the hula the Prophet alayhi salam when

he entered for the Umrah of khaliah. So when he came for

David, he was coming from Umrah, right? And they didn't let him

come in. They signed the Treaty of Hoda b He went back again the year

after it was called Umrah, to in the seventh year of Israel for the

Umrah. And Khalid said, I wasn't there. I didn't I didn't witness

him

coming in. Pakayana Maha al Walid Ibn Walid miman, my brother,

Walid, Al Walid, who was younger than Khalid, he was a Muslim, and

he entered the Mecca with the Prophet Alaya. Saw to some during

Umrah, and he looked for me. He asked, where I want to see my

brother and I, he didn't find me. Faqabah, ILA, yaki Taban, so he

wrote a letter to me. Khali said, Bismillah, wahman, Amma, Baden,

Nilam Ara ajaba means the habi Raika. I mean Islami wa aka Luka,

aka Luke wami, Israel, Islami, yajalahu Ahad. So this is what he

wrote in this letter, in the name Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most

Merciful. I'm a bad I've never seen anything that is weirder to

me in my life than how your understand, your your mind has not

found Islam yet. This is the weirdest thing to me. Your

intellect is your intellect. Me. I've known you. You're the

smartest person I know, and you have not found Islam yet. I This

is the weirdest thing to me. I've never seen anything like it in my

life. You're too smart not to see this, and the likes of Islam is

not going to be missed by anyone who has intellects, is what his

brother is saying. Wakan said, Any the Prophet alayhi saw

some asked me about you. Halas, it

fixed the problem. Because Allah he faqed, he came with when the

Prophet entered Mecca with me, asked me, where's Khalid faqil to

Yet Allah? Who be He? So? I answered him. I said, Allah will

bring him. Fakala, Mami flu who yaji haul Islam, someone like him

will not, cannot miss Islam well. And who ja ilanika Yet a who wa

jadah, who el muslimin ala mushri keen like an Allah wala padamah.

If he put all the effort that he has, all of his all of his wit and

all of his abilities on the on the side of the Muslims against their

enemies, it would have been better for him. And had he come to us. If

he was to come to me, I will give him status. And that's that's the

quote of the Prophet he saw us, and so he continues to brothers,

come out in us. Ali, ha, you need to make up for the time that you

you've missed my brother, and you have missed some important

moments. You've missed important things. Khalifa, speaking Allah,

anikita, Abu Hush waslamical Islam. When I when I received the

letter, it gave me this energy to get up and go to Medina, and it

gave me this willingness to accept Islam. And the story obviously

continues. And Khalid would meet AMR and others, and they would go

to Medina to accept Islam. But this is how Khalid explains the

beginning of it. It was, it was the Prophet alayhi salatu Islam,

asking about him. Where is fulan? He's to say something nice about

him through a word, through a compliment in the midst of a

honey, a light that probably is filled with with a lot of back and

forth and all that contradictions and failures and sorrows and fears

and pains, he got here a nice word from someone who had status, and

it fell in his heart and it opened the door that was had been closed

for say in the heart for a long time. Sayyidina had.

He accepted late. He came in late. He came in late. It was the eighth

year of Hijrah. Only three years with the prophet Ali assault was I

was a Muslim, right? He came in late. He missed so much. The door

was closed for him, just the door wasn't open. And the Prophet said,

I never lost hope in Him. He always hoped that one day the door

will open. Well, the door doesn't open on itself by itself. Allah

subhanaw taala uses any tools to open these doors for people. Allah

subhanahu wa opens doors for people. He doesn't like doors

don't just fling open. He

uses tools. He uses people to open doors for people. So be someone

who Allah opens the door for someone else, for by or through.

Be the person like when Allah wants to guide someone, why not?

Why not it be through you? Why not? Why does it have to be

through someone else? Why can it be through you? If Allah grant

benefits, why not through you? He's going to grant this person

benefit. It's just a matter of which medium, which medium is

going to be. Be the medium you get there. You're for it. It's better

than doing nothing. Better than sitting around with nothing to do,

be the medium but present yourself. Allah subhanahu, he

wants to. Allah will guide whomever he wants and will

misguide whoever he wants. Just be the medium of guidance. The

Prophet alayhi Salat didn't let anything personal come between him

and Khalid. And there was so many reasons for him to allow something

like that to happen, but he didn't. He kept the door and he

said something. He left him. He didn't have to, he didn't have to

say anything nice about Khalid. Islam does not need anyone. Islam

has never needed anyone. But the Prophet alayhi salatu salam is not

about Islam needing it's about him needing Islam. It's about Khalid

and ulib needing Islam. The Prophet alayhi salaam having

within his toolkit the ability to maybe nudge him forward, encourage

him to come to Allah. He said something nice. Imagine if he

didn't.

Now, imagine Islamic history if he didn't.

Imagine if the prophet said that. They didn't say, didn't say, where

is he? Why is he not here? Someone like him should not be unknown to

Islam, or someone like him should not miss Islam. He should put his

effort with us. He comes to us, we'll treat him well. Had he not

said those words, it took him three seconds. He didn't say those

words, anybody would have nothing to write in this message. And

Khalid may have not imagined the difference. The smallest thing

sometimes can make the world of difference. Sayyidina, Khalid,

obviously, I need those who studied Islamic history know what

he did know to what degree. Say, the hard myth. He literally was a

myth.

Had to remove him, like he had to remove he had no choice. He

became. He was becoming a Arab were still very not too long ago,

just just a couple of just a decade before they were worshiping

Aslam. Arabs had not completely disconnected from this concept.

Yet they still haven't. Today, if you want, my opinion, they still

have not. They still have not. They're not even close to getting

to that. But say the high was coming to the point where he was

becoming a myth. People started to see him as something that he

wasn't. So said to remove him all because the Prophet Aliyah saw

those time and said, Allah, I find that to be a part of Yani, of his

dawah concept. The theme is obviously still Dawa, and I think

it's something do that everyone so ask about people, say something

nice, compliment them, and you offer them some you'll find that

opens their heart, opens the door. This may be closed for them.

They'll come to Allah subhanahu wa, them Coming to

Allah subhanahu wa, leave.

Islam

Allah.
