Adnan Rajeh – Performing Dawah – Outreach 2

We said that in Hasanin and Aqirin

So

collection of and

his and

what is called and has a reasonable generation

rate to us by the prophet

cousin Ateel. Does not allow a hadith? This

is one of them.

And the theme is the importance of dawah

or the significance of performing dawah and outreach,

which is the theme of this month,

August. We're hoping that inshallah or at least

I am, I need that people take upon

themselves the, the obligation,

performing dawah and bringing people to the masajid

and introducing to the houses of Allah Subhanahu

Wa Ta'ala allowing us to welcome them and

to get to know them and and to

allow people to feel more comfortable in these

houses and that they feel feel that this

is a this is the center of their

community is where they should be and is

where they should, you know, feel, welcome and

at home inshallah, moving forward. Because that's how

we we, revive our community really is just

making sure that are

the go to spot for all of our

Muslim brothers and sisters whether they are close

to Allah or whether they are struggling. And

this hadith here is is within that theme

and this is a very interesting hadith. You

heard the story, I think, maybe through at

different points in your life, but I here

here's here's a nice kind of breakdown of

it.

Uncle and said, indeed your cousin oh, sorry.

Your nephew,

is harming us in our when we are

gathering in our Masjid, meaning where we go

for for prayer. Meaning, he's always coming up

with ideas. He's pushing back.

Can you please ask him to stop doing

that?

Bring me Muhammad.

So I went and I brought him

Oh my nephew,

indeed your cousins and he's referring to them

people of Quresh because Quresh is one big

family. Indeed, they are

claiming that you are harming them within their

gatherings and in their masjid. So please stop

doing that.

Looked up

to the sky for a moment.

And this was after years years years of

his struggle with them and a couple of

this was amongst the at the end of

the negotiation period just before they decided to

start and plan for his assassination

So he looked at this guy,

You see the son.

I

am not capable

of stop of stopping what it is that

I am teaching and what I am trying

to push people toward understanding and following

more than you are capable

of going to the sun

and

and bringing a flame from it.

Meaning, that there's no way that I'll ever

stop doing what I'm doing.

Said I,

Wallahi, my nephew has never in his life

ever lied to me. So go back, from

to where you came from. He's speaking to

the people of

Koresh.

Koresh never never spoke to Abu Talib

about this again. They did obviously do much

worse things, but this was the last time

they spoke to him

about

him

The point that I brought out this hadith.

The way he put this

is almost to say the way he said

it was that you see the that I

do

is a force of nature.

It's a force of nature. I will never

stop.

I don't have the ability to stop more

than you have the ability to go and

grab a flame from the sun.

I don't I can't. It's not possible.

This is I will always do this

until I'm not around to do it anymore,

until I'm dead, and then I can't do

it. Until I'm not here, then I won't

do it anymore. Yeah. I need with my

physicality. He still does it through his teachings,

but he won't do anyone would do it

physically because it's a force of nature, because

a part of who he is. It defines

his character. It defines his job and his

mission as it must define

ours, as it should be defining ours because

he left us

with this responsibility

after he left. He left it with us.

He left it with you to continue

this legacy, to continue to teach and to

spread. He can't stop more than they can

go and pull a flame from the sun.

Meaning, he will always do this, whether they

feel that they like it, they don't like

it, they want it, they don't want it.

Is is happy with it. Is not happy

with it. It makes no difference to him

He hopes that they listen. He wishes continues

to defend him. He wants them all to

accept the stem and be close. But whether

they do or they don't, satisfied,

unsatisfied, he will continue to do this

until his last moment because that's what Dawah

is to him, and that's what Dawah has

to be for us as well. This is

who we are. We are those who have

found guidance and wanna make sure that we

take it to everyone. They accept it. They

don't accept it. They join us or they

don't join us. That doesn't change anything. They

pros persecute us for it or they welcome

us for it. It doesn't change. We keep

on doing it because that's who we are,

and we can't stop it more than anyone

can go and pull a flame from the

sun.

And that's how we have to understand. I

love the way he says

because it's just very it's just it this

is who you are. This is who you

follow.
