Ahmed Hamed – Dawah Lessons from Surah Al Fatiha

			Assalamu alaikum warahmatullahi wabarakatuh al hamdu Lillahi Rabbil alameen wa salatu salam ala
rasulillah Kareem was early he was happy, my dear brothers and sisters, welcome again to our new
cities focus on Surah Fatiha in the last session of this series, which is so exciting especially
this topic, sharing the message of Surah Fatiha or Tao lessons from Surah Fatiha is one of the very
close topics to me. As I'm in the field of dialogue, it gives me real passion to engage in sudo to
Fatiha and derive lessons which are beautiful. In this session inshallah we shall try and focus on
the Dharma lessons that we can learn from Surah Fatiha Dawa it means an invitation or sharing the
		

			message of Islam with the people of the world meet Muslims or non Muslims and the lessons that we
can actually derive from Surah Fatiha
		

			which are related with that our are numerous, but time would not allow us to focus on each and
everything in detail. So we will try to you know share and focus on selective you know, details
insha Allah, Allah subhanho wa Taala he commanded in the Quran, to invite people to the way of your
Lord, Allah Subhana hooter analysis Kuru Illa, civilian rockabilly. hikmah invite people to the view
of your Lord with wisdom, when mo is what it has.
		

			And with good preachings, what Job did him build? Let's see here and discuss with them, argue with
them and engage with them in the ways that are best and most gracious. So what we understand and
realize is that our shaming the message of Islam as a whole is an obligation upon us, when we are
talking in terms of suicidal thoughts. in focus, it is imperative upon us that we share the message,
the beautiful message of Surah Fatiha with the people of the world. Now, let's begin very quickly
with this beautiful sutra and try to focus and reflect on what the our lessons that we have in this
beautiful and greatest sutra of the glorious Koran. Number one Allah subhanaw taala starts our
		

			honorable administrate Vanya regime Bismillahi Rahmani Raheem, In the Name of Allah, the Most
Gracious, the Most Merciful or Entirely Merciful and continuously merciful. Now, what is the lesson,
lesson that we have in this, the
		

			ayah it means In the Name of Allah,
		

			the Entirely Merciful and the Especially Merciful. Now, always remember, we, as the Muslim Ummah
need to share our message in this ayah within ourselves, within our homes, our family members, our
society, neighborhood, and the people of the world, that the first day our lesson is, we should
always begin with the name of Allah Bismillah begin In the name of Allah, because who is the one who
created us and everything around us, Allah, so what beautiful, it would be that we begin things with
the name of Allah, and especially when we actually begin our day. You know, when we move out from
our homes, we say Bismillah tawakkol to Allah wa Harada illa Billah In the name of Allah, look how
		

			we begin our day, when you begin your day, With the name of Allah allow will be with you throughout
the day. This is the Darwin lesson that we have that we need to begin things with the name of Allah
subhana wa Taala. And how is that Allah will talk about it in the you know, the following Ayat of
surah two in fact. So number one, we need to ensure that we have that link that connection
		

			That you know, relation with Allah subhanahu wa taala and in everything that we do so in everything
that we do if we involve Bismillah, Alhamdulillah, Allahu Akbar, Masha Allah and all these, you
know, do ours, then Indeed, Allah will be with us throughout our lives in sha Allah when Allah
subhanho wa Taala he is with us, we don't have to worry about anything, literally anything. Right?
That's the first thing number two, the last panel dialogue, you know, continues and hamdu Lillahi
Rabbil aalameen we need to call people to Allah Who is the Lord of the alameen we need to tell
people as Allah subhanho wa Taala commands us in the Quran in surah, Yusuf surah number 12 is number
		

			108. Allah subhana wa Jalla says, will say to them, and when a loss is on, it's kind of a command,
right? We have to tell people about this message. So unless it's Holly he severely Uluru Illa, I
call people to Allah to the part that I have come in so on the heels severely say this is my path.
This is my way. And they're all in a law I call people to Allah. So we have to understand that sudo
to refer to her It begins with an hamdu Lillahi Rabbil alameen. It gives a direct Dawa lesson to us
as Muslims, that we have to ensure that we invite people to Allah, Who is the Lord of the words,
Allah is not the rub of the Muslims or the Arabs or for any particular community or nationality. He
		

			is the rub Book of Allah amin He is the Lord controller provider sustainer cherisher. You don't have
the worlds so we have to call people to Allah Who is the Lord of the worlds and when we do that
Allah subhana wa tada says, woman accendo told Amanda Elahi Why me lasagna home, what color in any
minute muslimeen who is better in speech, Allah says, Who is better in see in speech than the one
who calls look, calls people to Allah does righteous deeds and says I am among the, you know,
Muslims. So the Dharma lesson that we have, you know, at the beginning of it is very powerful, and
hamdulillah We are grateful, we praise Allah, Who is Allah who is the Lord of the world. So we as
		

			Muslims have to tell our own family members begin with them, our own, you know, neighborhood, our
own friends, our own relatives, our own, you know of people who we meet the rest of the world, the
whole of humanity, right? We have to tell them that there is no Allah, there is no rub, who is
taking care of the entire thing except a law, the Lord of the woods. So this is another dour lesson
that we gain from an hamdu Lillahi Rabbil aalameen then we say a Rahmani Raheem. Now, as we
discussed in the you know beginning session in the session of empowering our eemaan in Surah Fatiha
we mentioned that the that Allah who is taking care of the Al amin who is controlling you know,
		

			providing and sustaining, he is a rock man and he is a Rahim he is Entirely Merciful and he is
Especially Merciful. So we need to understand that we have to call people to Allah who is not just
Radboud alameen. But he is also the Entirely Merciful and especially merciful and sapan Allah we see
my brothers and sisters, many of us even Muslims who handler are living a depressed life, and
especially the non Muslims because they don't have a lot. Remember, remember, if we don't have a lot
in our equation in our spectrum, then we have no point of living happy. So we need to ensure that
Allah subhanahu wa tada is always you know, are close to us and we have to be close to Allah
		

			subhanho wa Taala he is Entirely Merciful. He is especially merciful and this Rama, this Mercy of
Allah is so huge, it's infinite. So we do not have to get into depression, this appointment, you
know, lower down ourselves nothing. We have to be always happy and be
		

			Leave and hope and have that expectation from the mercy of Allah subhanho wa Taala as a lot of
laryssa he says in the Quran, yeah a buddy of mine slaves and levina A surah, who Allah fusi him,
those who have transgressed from the path from themselves, you know those who have gone away a lot
of but there is a calling to those kinds of people who have gone away, not the avid, not the
righteous, not the, you know, worshipers but those who have gone away, so nothing is
		

			your i varzi alladhina Astra for Allah I'm forcing him la doctrina to Mira Rahmatullah never, ever
despair in the mercy of Allah. So we have to be highly hopeful, we have to be highly motivated in
terms of gaining the mercy of Allah subhanho data and relate that mercy with the people of the
world, Be kind, be merciful, be you know, humble with the people of the world. In order to gain
mercy. We have to deliver mercy insha Allah, Allah Tada, and then we see our Rahmani Raheem, we are
calling people to the mercy of Allah to introduce Allah, how merciful, he is intensely, extremely.
There is no limit for the mercy of Allah. A person might be a sinner for 18 1900 in 200 years, it
		

			doesn't matter we'll light if you're sincere, trying to come back to Allah just turn to Allah. Allah
says law to morality law, do not be ever hopeless in the mercy of Allah. And then a beautiful, you
know, thing comes as a reminder, Maliki Yomi Deen, Master of the Day of Judgment, who is that?
Allah? Roberta is, he is the one who is Allah, Who is Rob Bula alameen. So we are calling people to
Allah, Who is the Lord of the worlds who is merciful, extremely merciful, Entirely Merciful,
especially merciful? And who is what? The Master of the Day of Judgment Now it's important, endeavor
to call people and tell them Look, man, look, brother, look, sister, one day you and me have to
		

			stand before Allah. This is a done deal. We have to stand before a lot. So I'm calling you right now
in this very world, so that when you stand before Allah, at least I will be a witness over you.
Yeah, Allah, I have conveyed the message of, you know, to my brother, who is living in more in my
neighborhood, I have conveyed the message, who is my colleague, I have conveyed the message, who you
are, yeah, Allah, who you are, I have conveyed the message. So you tell them and testify. Look, my
brother, Look, my sister, testify before Allah because that day is going to come certainly. And
Allah is the master of that day, no one will ever have the capacity to your capacity or the ability
		

			to stand before Allah, you know, in parallel to Allah, that is the date of Allah, He is the Master
of the Day of Judgment. So there is no one and there is nothing that can save us except Maliki or
Mateen. So tell people in our 10 people look, I am calling you to Allah, Who is the Lord of the
worlds the way you are eating, the way you are living the way you are gaining the mercy the way you
have affection, the way I love, all your things belong to Allah, you yourself are belong to Allah,
and who is Malik you're meeting the accountability element. When we call people to Islam, we need to
tell them that there is a Master of the Day of Judgment. No matter what you do in this world, you
		

			know, you you you might be set free or quit free, you know, doing things you know which are evil and
and and wrong and bad, and you're not being punished. But don't forget, don't forget Maliki and
within master of the DOJ, he is the one who is going to take you know our accountability for my
yarmulke scholars are rotten Hydra euro woman Yama is called as a rotten chabrier whatever an atom
suite of good that you did, will be recompensed on that day and whatever atoms rate of wrong bad
evil that you do and I do will be paid back to us as a punishment. So now lick your meetin Master of
the Day of Judgment. We're not calling people to someone who is you know, who is just remained in
		

			this role and in the Hereafter, there is no you know, presence or existence of that might have that
tie to that Mighty No, he is a law he was a law. He is a line he will remain as a law moneykey
Yeoman deep. That is deep
		

			Very powerful thing for us to invite people to call people to share that there is only and only a
law who's going to be the Master of the Day of Judgment right? The next is is molecule medium iya
cannot be good. This is a beautiful part of the you know the next time the board is economical what
you can assign, but well let's let's focus you know from the Dow perspective, er cannot put you
alone we worship now this is a mission statement. As I mentioned before, the mission statement of a
Muslim is a yes or not good, what you're gonna say, You alone, we worship Allah, and you alone we
seek for help. So you alone we worship Allah. Now, as we put this declaration, this manifestation of
		

			our belief, internally and externally, we need to understand that in Dawa, that is the invitation to
people, invitation to Islam, you know, for the people, for the whole of humanity. In fact, we have
to understand three words in our ikura. Comb, comb. So the camera is the first revelation, as we all
know, a corrupt smear of big under the column, read in the name of your Lord. So a Daria our a one
year old who calls people to Allah, he must read, he must gain knowledge, right? That's the first
step. First level, then Kami Laila Illa, Allah, Allah, he must spend moments, special moments with
Allah in prayer in night, he has to spend those moments with Allah in order to empower, enrich and
		

			strengthen his own belief, so that he may stand before anything, when he can stand before Allah in
the night, especially in the last part of the night. So put me Laila Illa, Allah so ikura Oh, and
the other home is home for under now that you have read or learned about Islam. Now that you have to
understand and gain that momentum that that empowerment of the belief by praying and worshiping
Allah, then you do what own for under Get up. And when people tell people that look, no matter who
you worship, whether it's human, or or any part of the creation, the reality is, we call you from
the worship of creation to the worship of created er cannot re worship only Allah. It's only him
		

			alone subhanho wa Taala that in call people to so we need to realize that this is how we we engage
with people and do Dawa. Right. So iaca novel, then we have jacobina Stein, you alone we seek
certain help. So the stay on it, the certainty that we expect from only Allah subhanho wa Taala and
Allah shows the methodology of how do we need to seek help you see, for all the things we need to
rely on Allah and gain the help from Allah without which we can't proceed from the following thing
which Allah talks about. So yet unnecessary pain. We seek your own or your help alone, in terms of
certainty, conviction, dedication, and that determination. So Allah subhanaw taala shows us the
		

			methodology how to seek out Alesis was dyno be Sabri was Salah, seek the help of Allah, from what
from patients and prayer was dyno with surgery was Salah, disagree with patience was Salah with
prayer. So a die has to understand that he has to seek Allah's help in doing Dawa and calling people
to Islam and this is not easy. People will ridicule people will not listen perhaps people will abuse
you people perhaps you know just don't pay attention at all. You know as in the case of more or less
salon 950 years, he was doing Dara day and night, openly and secretly with people they try to you
know, close their ears, they try to you know, hide from the message of, of New Orleans Salaam. So we
		

			need to be prepared and seek the help of Allah through patience and prayer. This is another big
lesson. We need to tell our own children, our own parents, our own siblings, our own family members,
relatives, friends and everyone that look anytime when you need the help of Allah. You need to call
out to Allah by being patient and you need to call out to Allah by pray, do things, pray and be
patient, be patient and and pray. So these two things go together.
		

			And it empowers you. yaka Nesta and you alone we seek for help.
		

			And then we have a very powerful to either view we need to call people to at the end we have calling
people not to ask not to, you know anybody not to any group, not to anything but to Surat and Mr.
Kim Idina Surat Al Mustafa teen. So as we mentioned earlier, we are seeking the help of Allah.
		

			And the first help is in the nursery Ratan, Stephanie Guide us to the straight path. So we need to
call out people to the straight path, what is the street that what is the street that the path of
the Prophet the path of the companions, the path of those who were, you know, sila hain who was
righteous people, the path of those who were, you know, good people who always got closer to Allah
subhanaw taala, who sacrificed for the sake of Allah, who who were, you know, killed for the sake of
Allah who were, who were, who were gone for the sake of Allah Who, who gave huge sacrifices for the
sake of Allah, who did good works, kind works, you know, well being welfare for the whole of
		

			humanity, you know, sympathy, forgiveness and kindness, generosity, these are the things that we
have to ensure that we are talking about a Minister Atal Muscatine, so Guide us to the straight
path, the path which is defined by Allah subhanho wa Taala, the path which was described by Prophet
sallallahu alayhi wasallam.
		

			So he didn't know sirata must have been, who Allah Guide us to the straight path. Now, Allah
subhanho wa Taala he defines what is the straight path serata levina Anam de la him. So Darwinism,
again comes as we need to call people,
		

			to those as examples as ideals, upon whom Allah subhana wa Taala has shown his favor, right? As
Allah subhanho wa Taala. He says, that among the people, you know, the best of the people are the
Gambia, the prophets and the messengers, the city team, those who are truthful, the Shahada, those
who were martyrs, and solid clean those who were righteous. So these are the four characteristics of
the people or the categories of the people whom we have to follow sirata levina and unterlagen we do
not call people to be destroyed, to be spoiled or to be lost. No, we want to call people to follow
those who were successful. upon whom Allah Subhana Hua dialer showed mercy saver, bless blessings
		

			and he was pleased with them. Allah subhanho wa Taala he says in the Quran in Surah Surah Surah
number two number 137 for in amanu be Miss Li ma montem be if they believe as you believe
		

			that Oh, then they are on the right path for into our low but if they turn away if they turn back
for in Mr. Humphrey shape up, then they will be you know, divided and categorized into an into chaos
into different groups, right? First AFC como la wahoo was Sonora Lim and Allah subhanaw taala is
enough for you. And Allah subhanaw taala he is all hearing and he's all knowing. So the path that a
lot talks about an untidy him upon those he has favored are those who were successful, who are
pleased by Allah, we are calling people to follow those successful people in Dawa always gave good
Give, give good examples, the examples of the prophets and the message that gives example of the of
		

			the truthful ones, the example of the of those who are martide the example of those who are
righteous, the example of those who are successful, and, and pleased with Allah subhanho wa Taala.
So our Dharma is to save people is to rescue people, is to give them that that success factor. You
know, everybody wants to be successful in the world. But then how can a person be successful? You
and me when we call people to Islam, we need to understand very clearly that we are calling out for
their success and tell them when you do dour with them, tell them look, I'm going to be free once I
deliver the message. That's it. My job
		

			I was done. But then I'm calling you to the path of success if you really want to be successful,
that is the proposal that I have set out and Latina and I'm dialing, you know, Allah subhanaw taala
he favored those people. So I'm calling you to just follow the path of those who were successful,
who were, who were winners, you know, in the sight of Allah Almighty.
		

			The last thing that we need to call people to sit out the Latina Nan de la aqui real Mr. Dubey, la
invalidly we do not have to call people to those who were arrogant, and those who were ignorant. So
both these categories are the categories or the characteristics of the last people losers destroyed,
people perish to nations. So we need to tell them like, Look, I'm calling you to Allah, you know,
first of all, I am advising you to, to begin things with the name of Allah number one, number two,
I'm calling you to Allah, not to myself to Allah, Who is the Lord of the words. Right? And who is
the one who is Entirely Merciful, and especially merciful. And I'm calling you to remind you that
		

			Master of the Day of Judgment is there Maliki Yama, Dean, yaka, yaka Stein, it makes perfect sense
for my Dharma to you, to tell you to worship Him alone, and to seek His help alone. When he is the
law. He is the one who, with whom we began everything, his name, we began with everything, and he is
the one who's the who is Allah, Who is the Lord of the words was the controller powerful, you know,
can you know cherisher provide a Sustainer of everything with a Rahman and Rahim who is Maliki oma
Dean, we are calling you my brothers and sisters, to worship Him alone and to seek His help alone.
And then we are calling you to the right path to the straight path. And then we are telling you what
		

			that straight path is. That straight path is the path of the prophets, the messengers, those who are
successful, a know in the same line, and then we are not calling you to be the losers like those
were, the upon whom Allah's wrath came, we are not calling you to those people who weren't perished
because of the anger of Allah because they were disobedient to Allah because they were arrogant to
deny the commands of Allah, neither we have
		

			neither the path of those who have perished because of their ignorance, because of their lack of
knowledge and because of their no initiative of the of exploring or exposing themselves to the
truth. So we are calling people to the path of successful people, not the path of those are
arrogant, neither those who are ignorant. So these are the dire lessons my brothers and sisters,
that we can actually you know, learn from this beautiful in the greatest surah of Surah Fatiha let
us commit to Allah that whenever we recite this beautiful surah we reflect upon it, we make sure
that we take your from it, we ensure that we apply in our lives, we ensure that we you pronounce it
		

			in a way that is beautiful and correct. We ensure that we read it and recited with that empowerment
of our belief. And we ensure that we take this message to the rest of the world was Salam alaykum
