And the theme of dawah or performing dawah
or outreach is what we're going to be
covering over
the course of this month with the intention
InshaAllah of encouraging everyone to bring people to
Masajid and to encourage them to come to
the houses of Allah
to find
their their spots there and to feel welcome
there and to be a part of this
community so that we can, inshaAllah ta'ala, do
something for ourselves and the next generation and
for the sake of Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala
is worthy
of doing. And
this is the only way to do it,
bring Muslims back to
the centers of their communities, which are the
masajid. The masajid have always been that. So
what the prophet says here in a very
short hadith, very simple. You've heard it before.
It's very beautiful. It gives you something to
kind of think about.
The person who points others towards something of
any aspect of khayr, any aspect of goodness,
any someone who is just If you're just
standing there just
pointing people. That's really what the 'id is
saying.
Is just to point someone somewhere. That's it.
Like you're not really doing much, like it's
not like you're, you know, spending hours educating
or carrying someone or pulling them. You're just
kinda standing there just waving along. It's like
a
police officer at a at a at a
at a at a light. You're just pointing
people to go in the center. Mandala'al khairi
is a person who just points others towards
where khair is.
Gets the same as the person who goes
and does it.
Now if that somehow affected the of the
person doing it, it'll be a big rip
off. But But it doesn't. The person who
does it doesn't even know about this and
they're getting their full hasanat with no the
packages they're receiving their full packages. Right? It's
just the person who pointed them in the
direction is also getting a copy paste of
that.
They're getting the same thing even though all
they did was you just just point. And
you're looking for khae, well, go try that
Masjid. I'll go speak to that person. Maybe
consider enrolling into this program.
There's a halakah that happens at that time.
And then they go and they benefit and
they learn and they grow and they teach
and they and you you're just and you're
just banking Hazrat just because you pointed.
The prophet alaihis salam says these things alaihis
salam these things to encourage you to, you
know, kind of break out of your shell
a bit and do stuff like that. Like
if you're not doing full dawah, at least
point people towards khair. At least be carry
a sign,
an arrow towards a masjid or something. Just
just yeah. Something
point people in some direction of doing something
good in their lives and there's doing
that. There's a lot of doing that. Allah
is teaching us time and time in any
form of influence that you offer someone towards
being a better person or benefiting them in
any form of manner. You get a lot
of doing that? So it's very weird for
a Muslim not to want to, you know,
benefit from that. We we suffer with with
getting hasanat. We suffer with doing good deeds
that are worthy
of of allowing us to to make it
across the finish line finishing line finish line
of the day of judgement. And here's a
simple way. Here's a cheat code. Just just
be someone who points others towards Khayr and
there's a lot of lot of reward in
doing that. May Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala use
us for that inshallah.
