Ammar Alshukry – Bringing Fish Is so Important in Dawah

			On this notion of, you know, not seeking fame and all that type of stuff, there are ways to give
that well without even saying a word without you yourself actually saying a word not everybody has
to be whether it's online or whether it's on on site. Imams, hydro harch have a little light tells
the story about how he was in the Nation of Islam. And when he was in the Nation of Islam, he said,
one of the things that they used to say to each other, when they would have their weekly class,
whatever it is that they called it, he said, they would always be asked, Did you bring any fish?
		

			Did you bring any fish brought fish? What is fish, fish is another person.
		

			Fish is another person. And if you can, without any fish, like that's bad on you, you just showed up
by yourself. And I think that if we were to simply just have that extra consideration, just that one
extra consideration that if I'm going to gym out, I don't go to gym out by myself. There's somebody
that I know whether it's my family, whether it's a 15 year old family friend or something like that,
who I can pick up along the way. And guess what, even if they're not along the way, even if they're
out of the way for some people, they'll do it. Right. And so, you know, I think that just that extra
consideration can make a lot of difference for a lot of people Friday Night Lights,
		

			who came alone who brought an extra person with them. I'm going to any sort of program anywhere in
the city, you brought fish,
		

			good Giada fish.
		

			But but that culture, I think is very, very important. That's what ALLAH SubhanA data tells us in
surah. Yaseen city has three prophets already okay, I'm not going to speak in the presence of the
Prophet What do I have to add to the conversation? There are three prophets their three messengers,
which I mean upset in Medina theological illness. Yes, sir. City man came from the all the way from
Katie, this guy came, he came from like the end of the whoever, sometimes you have Muhammad, he
comes from Katie and brings people with them, right? But he came from the end of the city. And he
came to say, What, oh, people, follow the messengers. Follow those who are asking you for any
		

			reward, like, come and listen to them. Right? I'm bringing people with me. Or I'm coming to simply
be a microphone to everybody and say, hey, you know what, let me let me distribute some photos. And
people don't distribute fliers anymore. But let me just, you know, spread the word about something
so that people can come and benefit from what's prepared or or, yeah, put them on the path. Right.
And so I think if we're able to develop that type of a culture, whether it's in Clearlake, whether
it's in Houston at large, it will be transformative for our city and Charlotte
