Adnan Rajeh – Performing Dawah – Outreach #17

Collection

in both Imam Bukhari

and Muslim rate

to us by Abu Amr, and

this is the last Hadith that I'll narrate regarding the concept or

the important significance of outreach or Dawa, is what we've

been talking about over the last three to four weeks. I think this

is the 14th or 15th Hadith that we've narrated within that theme.

And I'll end inshallah with this one. And this is, this is a final

This is different than everything else I've narrated, because it's

really not necessarily encouraging you to do it, but it's putting a

little bit of a fear factor in all of it, because I think that's

that's important,

and What he says with

Allah any

lubina Fulani shop. So

So a man came told the prophet Allah, he said he didn't come out,

he didn't volunteer. This most likely, the prophet Abu Asmaa had

talked to him about something, or asked him, Why are you always

late, or why do you miss certain days with us? It was a like, I

said, and this is something we've talked about in other themes,

where the masjid was the center, and, you know, attending in Asia

and Fajr specifically was a big deal. The prophet Ali assalam

would watch out for his Sahaba and see who was coming who wasn't,

because that's where they touched base with each other. The rest of

the prayers in the day was whatever you could like. If you

could make it for Maghrib or Bucha, amazing. If you couldn't,

you were working somewhere, far you were traveling. But Maghrib

Isha and Fajr were two important the ones that the touching base.

So when someone didn't show up or didn't come, the prophet Ali,

someone would ask. So apparently he must have asked this man, where

were you?

But he said, I come late sometimes because he pointed out one of the

Imams. And, like I said, and all of the Hadith that you know,

whenever there's something negative, the scholars don't point

out the person. They don't use the name, so they didn't say exactly

what was it was most likely mu item in Jabil, all the Allahu,

Anhu Allah, this Hadi does not point him out specifically, so he

doesn't, he does and he I come late because he the Quran praise

Isha late, and then reads a lot, and I don't get to go home to get

to sleep, so I come in late. Now whether he's honest with that or

not, it doesn't make a difference. That's what he said.

Rasulallah, shadaban, FEMA, were a lot in waha, mean da Ali Kelim,

I've never seen the Prophet. Ali Sal give a mug Allah, where he was

more angry than I saw him that day. That was the day I saw the

most angry when he gave a Mawlana. Faqad, yahan NAS in namah, amongst

you are munafirin. And then he talks about the Imam Asmaa,

specifically, those of you who will lead

people and people in prayer, may they not take too much time and

make make sure that they they have a proper balance for it, because

amongst them, or amongst the people who are following them, is

the elderly, is the sick, is the person who has other things to do

and needs to get out on time. So make sure that ithagus Don't,

don't take, don't make it too long. But the word that he used,

here's what I want you to think about when we talk about the

concept of dawah. He said in naming amongst you will be people

who will repel others from the way of Allah, Subhanahu wa on time.

You are amazing. It's not about you. This hadith was, this hadith

is on the schedule from three weeks ago. Has nothing to do with

your Imam at all. The poor guy is he's going into himself slowly as

I talk. It's not about you at all.

I should have probably led the prayer I was going to tell this

hadith afterwards

in namin. Some of you will be repellers, just like it's as

important as it is for you to perform Dawa and bring people to

this way of Allah subhanahu amongst us, there will be people

who will repel others from the way of Allah subhanahu wa, be careful

of being someone like that. If you're not able to bring people

closer to Allah subhanahu wa, do not be a repeller. Do not be

someone who repels people from the way of Allah they want to come in

and you are standing there with your Yani with the with the fake

smile and the lack of knowledge and the biased opinion and the

lack of etiquette. And I've been speaking to people and the bad

habits and bad behavior, and you repel people from the way of Allah

subhanahu. Be careful. I run into people sometimes, and I sit with

them in heart to heart, and I tell them, your best act of dawah is

that you never perform dawah again in your life, with your with your

tongue. This is the best thing that you'll ever do for the sake

of Allah. You never speak to someone about about dawah. Do it

with your do some don't speak. You don't you don't know how to speak

to people. You don't know what to start with. You don't know how to

go by it. You lose your temper you're talking about. You don't

have the proper knowledge you were you.

Rate you understand things in a brainwashed fashion. That's not

helpful. You have to stop because you're making it worse.

It's very rare. But I, I've had to sit down with someone say,

honestly, you just have to cut down. Do your dawah through

service, do your dower through, through good character, and

through taking care of someone else and being, being there to

help them. But maybe, maybe hold the hold off with the with the

with the knowledge spreading peace.

Because the prophet Ali solami said, oh, people, amongst you will

be munafi. There will be amongst you those who think they're doing

well and they're not see this imam who was in this hadith that is led

people, and was reciting four or five pages in Asha, reading the

Quran. He's like, I'm going to make them listen to the Quran. He

repelled people he didn't want to. Whoever did this was not someone

who was like, I want to repel people from the way the prophet.

He wasn't no hashalam of the Allah. He was someone who wanted

people to be closer to Allah, but he doesn't have that wisdom of

knowing how to do it. So he repels others. It's a lack of wisdom and

lack of knowledge and lack of knowing how to do things, and not

to know what the priorities are and what to start with and how to

deal with deal with others. Be careful and beware. As I talk to

you about dawah, bringing people to the house of Allah, making them

love Islam, beware the possibility of you repelling them is there too

so tread carefully. Sunnah has all the Hadith that I shared with you

over the last three weeks, do all of these things. Do dawah with

your words and with your character and with your with your face, with

everything that you have do Dawa, but be aware and be careful from

being someone repels someone from the way of Allah, Subhanahu, the

Prophet alayhi salam, was never seen when he was speaking so angry

that he was that day, because that's a big deal for you to for

you not to know the importance of this, and for you to make that

mistake, and someone was wanting to come close, and then your words

and your actions made them never come back again.

And it's just, it's just very sad when that happens. And I see it

too often, I see it too often. It's too late, usually by the time

I see it, it's too late. I can't I can't save the person anymore. But

what I say, they won't listen. They've been mistreated so many

times that they don't want to hear me, that they don't have the they

don't have the mental space to listen. And what do I say? They

will lie. That's not how Islam is. I swear to you, that's not how he

was. Ali Isla to us, I swear to you, if you met him, you would

have fallen in love with him, and you would be a good Muslim. Please

listen to me, but it's too late. They've already been repelled so

many times they don't want to hear they don't believe me, and it's

too late. We have to be careful. You have to be careful, and that's

how I'm going to conclude this series of Dow. I hope you found it

inshallah beneficial, and may Allah use us for calling to his

way Subhanallah, and utilize us as tools that will bring people

guidance. Yahweh, Shaykh, Han timata, Abu Asmaa, Odin Oli
