And the theme of dawah or performing dawah

00:00:08 --> 00:00:10

or outreach is what we're going to be

00:00:10 --> 00:00:11

covering over

00:00:11 --> 00:00:13

the course of this month with the intention

00:00:13 --> 00:00:15

InshaAllah of encouraging everyone to bring people to

00:00:15 --> 00:00:18

Masajid and to encourage them to come to

00:00:18 --> 00:00:19

the houses of Allah

00:00:19 --> 00:00:20

to find

00:00:20 --> 00:00:22

their their spots there and to feel welcome

00:00:22 --> 00:00:23

there and to be a part of this

00:00:23 --> 00:00:25

community so that we can, inshaAllah ta'ala, do

00:00:25 --> 00:00:27

something for ourselves and the next generation and

00:00:27 --> 00:00:28

for the sake of Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala

00:00:28 --> 00:00:29

is worthy

00:00:30 --> 00:00:31

of doing. And

00:00:31 --> 00:00:32

this is the only way to do it,

00:00:32 --> 00:00:34

bring Muslims back to

00:00:34 --> 00:00:35

the centers of their communities, which are the

00:00:35 --> 00:00:38

masajid. The masajid have always been that. So

00:00:38 --> 00:00:40

what the prophet says here in a very

00:00:40 --> 00:00:41

short hadith, very simple. You've heard it before.

00:00:41 --> 00:00:43

It's very beautiful. It gives you something to

00:00:43 --> 00:00:44

kind of think about.

00:00:49 --> 00:00:52

The person who points others towards something of

00:00:53 --> 00:00:55

any aspect of khayr, any aspect of goodness,

00:00:55 --> 00:00:58

any someone who is just If you're just

00:00:58 --> 00:00:59

standing there just

00:00:59 --> 00:01:01

pointing people. That's really what the 'id is

00:01:01 --> 00:01:01

saying.

00:01:02 --> 00:01:05

Is just to point someone somewhere. That's it.

00:01:05 --> 00:01:06

Like you're not really doing much, like it's

00:01:06 --> 00:01:09

not like you're, you know, spending hours educating

00:01:09 --> 00:01:11

or carrying someone or pulling them. You're just

00:01:11 --> 00:01:14

kinda standing there just waving along. It's like

00:01:14 --> 00:01:15

a

00:01:15 --> 00:01:16

police officer at a at a at a

00:01:16 --> 00:01:18

at a at a light. You're just pointing

00:01:18 --> 00:01:20

people to go in the center. Mandala'al khairi

00:01:20 --> 00:01:22

is a person who just points others towards

00:01:22 --> 00:01:23

where khair is.

00:01:25 --> 00:01:27

Gets the same as the person who goes

00:01:27 --> 00:01:28

and does it.

00:01:30 --> 00:01:32

Now if that somehow affected the of the

00:01:32 --> 00:01:33

person doing it, it'll be a big rip

00:01:33 --> 00:01:35

off. But But it doesn't. The person who

00:01:35 --> 00:01:36

does it doesn't even know about this and

00:01:36 --> 00:01:38

they're getting their full hasanat with no the

00:01:38 --> 00:01:41

packages they're receiving their full packages. Right? It's

00:01:41 --> 00:01:42

just the person who pointed them in the

00:01:42 --> 00:01:44

direction is also getting a copy paste of

00:01:44 --> 00:01:45

that.

00:01:45 --> 00:01:47

They're getting the same thing even though all

00:01:47 --> 00:01:48

they did was you just just point. And

00:01:48 --> 00:01:50

you're looking for khae, well, go try that

00:01:50 --> 00:01:52

Masjid. I'll go speak to that person. Maybe

00:01:52 --> 00:01:54

consider enrolling into this program.

00:01:55 --> 00:01:56

There's a halakah that happens at that time.

00:01:56 --> 00:01:58

And then they go and they benefit and

00:01:58 --> 00:01:59

they learn and they grow and they teach

00:01:59 --> 00:02:01

and they and you you're just and you're

00:02:01 --> 00:02:03

just banking Hazrat just because you pointed.

00:02:03 --> 00:02:06

The prophet alaihis salam says these things alaihis

00:02:06 --> 00:02:08

salam these things to encourage you to, you

00:02:08 --> 00:02:09

know, kind of break out of your shell

00:02:09 --> 00:02:11

a bit and do stuff like that. Like

00:02:11 --> 00:02:13

if you're not doing full dawah, at least

00:02:13 --> 00:02:16

point people towards khair. At least be carry

00:02:16 --> 00:02:17

a sign,

00:02:19 --> 00:02:21

an arrow towards a masjid or something. Just

00:02:21 --> 00:02:22

just yeah. Something

00:02:22 --> 00:02:24

point people in some direction of doing something

00:02:24 --> 00:02:26

good in their lives and there's doing

00:02:27 --> 00:02:28

that. There's a lot of doing that. Allah

00:02:28 --> 00:02:30

is teaching us time and time in any

00:02:30 --> 00:02:32

form of influence that you offer someone towards

00:02:32 --> 00:02:34

being a better person or benefiting them in

00:02:34 --> 00:02:35

any form of manner. You get a lot

00:02:35 --> 00:02:38

of doing that? So it's very weird for

00:02:38 --> 00:02:40

a Muslim not to want to, you know,

00:02:40 --> 00:02:42

benefit from that. We we suffer with with

00:02:42 --> 00:02:44

getting hasanat. We suffer with doing good deeds

00:02:44 --> 00:02:45

that are worthy

00:02:45 --> 00:02:46

of of allowing us to to make it

00:02:46 --> 00:02:48

across the finish line finishing line finish line

00:02:48 --> 00:02:50

of the day of judgement. And here's a

00:02:50 --> 00:02:52

simple way. Here's a cheat code. Just just

00:02:52 --> 00:02:55

be someone who points others towards Khayr and

00:02:55 --> 00:02:56

there's a lot of lot of reward in

00:02:56 --> 00:02:58

doing that. May Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala use

00:02:58 --> 00:02:59

us for that inshallah.
