			بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم الحمد لله رب العالمين
		
00:00:03 --> 00:00:07
			والصلاة والسلام على أشرف الأنبياء والمرسلين محمد رسول
		
00:00:07 --> 00:00:11
			الله صلى الله عليه وعلى آله وسلم تسليمًا
		
00:00:11 --> 00:00:14
			كثيرًا كثيرًا My brothers and sisters, a very
		
00:00:14 --> 00:00:17
			dear friend of mine said to me that
		
00:00:17 --> 00:00:22
			I have sent out these daily reminders on
		
00:00:22 --> 00:00:25
			conveying the message of Islam and he said
		
00:00:25 --> 00:00:27
			if you can tell me two or three
		
00:00:27 --> 00:00:29
			main things that I can do then you
		
00:00:29 --> 00:00:31
			know do it simply then that will be
		
00:00:31 --> 00:00:34
			helpful so this is for him and for
		
00:00:34 --> 00:00:38
			all who want to know the basic fundamental
		
00:00:38 --> 00:00:40
			principles of how to give dawah.
		
00:00:42 --> 00:00:45
			I call it my three-point rule.
		
00:00:45 --> 00:00:48
			Number one, before you come to the rule,
		
00:00:50 --> 00:00:56
			please understand that conveying the message of Islam,
		
00:00:56 --> 00:00:59
			the work of dawah, is a long-term
		
00:00:59 --> 00:01:00
			project.
		
00:01:01 --> 00:01:04
			It's not instant coffee, it's not hit and
		
00:01:04 --> 00:01:07
			run, it is not something that you know
		
00:01:07 --> 00:01:09
			you're going to throw in somebody's face and
		
00:01:09 --> 00:01:11
			they will accept it.
		
00:01:12 --> 00:01:18
			It is a long-term project that you
		
00:01:18 --> 00:01:20
			are taking on for the pleasure of Allah
		
00:01:20 --> 00:01:22
			and you're going to stay there and stick
		
00:01:22 --> 00:01:26
			on there until one of two things happens.
		
00:01:27 --> 00:01:33
			The person comes to Islam or one of
		
00:01:33 --> 00:01:38
			you dies and we hope it's the former.
		
00:01:39 --> 00:01:42
			So you stick in there as long as
		
00:01:42 --> 00:01:42
			it takes.
		
00:01:47 --> 00:01:50
			With this in mind, we come to my
		
00:01:50 --> 00:01:51
			three-point rule.
		
00:01:52 --> 00:01:53
			Three things you need to do.
		
00:01:54 --> 00:01:55
			Number one, make friends.
		
00:01:57 --> 00:02:00
			Please remember, like we say in sales, and
		
00:02:00 --> 00:02:03
			dawah is sales, dawah is selling.
		
00:02:07 --> 00:02:10
			You can only sell to friends, nobody else.
		
00:02:11 --> 00:02:14
			So you want to sell, make friends.
		
00:02:17 --> 00:02:20
			Now making friends means that you do what
		
00:02:20 --> 00:02:24
			needs to be done to get close to
		
00:02:24 --> 00:02:27
			the other person, not in a manipulative kind
		
00:02:27 --> 00:02:29
			of way, but because genuinely, out of genuine
		
00:02:29 --> 00:02:32
			interest, out of genuine friendship, genuinely being nice
		
00:02:32 --> 00:02:33
			to somebody.
		
00:02:34 --> 00:02:37
			Remember, it's not play-acting, it's not deception,
		
00:02:38 --> 00:02:41
			it's not entrapment, it's not seduction.
		
00:02:41 --> 00:02:45
			It is genuine interest in another human being
		
00:02:45 --> 00:02:50
			and interest enough to make sure that they
		
00:02:50 --> 00:02:51
			go to Jannah instead of Jahannam.
		
00:02:52 --> 00:02:55
			True interest in their akhirah.
		
00:02:55 --> 00:02:59
			There is no other better reason to make
		
00:02:59 --> 00:03:02
			friends than to invite them to Islam.
		
00:03:02 --> 00:03:03
			So make friends.
		
00:03:05 --> 00:03:07
			Now in that process, sometimes people ask me,
		
00:03:07 --> 00:03:09
			well, what if I am making friends with
		
00:03:09 --> 00:03:10
			this person, but this person is engaged in
		
00:03:10 --> 00:03:11
			something which is haram?
		
00:03:11 --> 00:03:15
			Now this is where your second part will
		
00:03:15 --> 00:03:20
			come in, which is demonstrate to them, like
		
00:03:20 --> 00:03:21
			you do in selling.
		
00:03:21 --> 00:03:23
			You make friends and then you give the
		
00:03:23 --> 00:03:24
			person a sample.
		
00:03:25 --> 00:03:29
			So demonstrate to them a sample of what
		
00:03:29 --> 00:03:30
			Islam is.
		
00:03:30 --> 00:03:33
			And a sample of what Islam is, is
		
00:03:33 --> 00:03:36
			that you will not compromise on your principles.
		
00:03:37 --> 00:03:40
			So you will not eat haram, you will
		
00:03:40 --> 00:03:42
			not stop praying, you will not go into
		
00:03:42 --> 00:03:45
			a place where it is prohibited for a
		
00:03:45 --> 00:03:47
			Muslim to go, and so forth.
		
00:03:48 --> 00:03:50
			You will not lie, you will not cheat,
		
00:03:50 --> 00:03:54
			you will not indulge in backbiting and slander.
		
00:03:57 --> 00:04:00
			You will not compromise your Islamic principles for
		
00:04:00 --> 00:04:01
			any reason.
		
00:04:02 --> 00:04:04
			But you will not do this belligerently, you
		
00:04:04 --> 00:04:09
			will not do this in an inhumored way.
		
00:04:10 --> 00:04:12
			You will do this kindly, you will do
		
00:04:12 --> 00:04:13
			this with a big smile on your face.
		
00:04:14 --> 00:04:17
			And you will do that with complete confidence.
		
00:04:17 --> 00:04:20
			Remember, if you have no confidence in your
		
00:04:20 --> 00:04:22
			product, and in this case the product is
		
00:04:22 --> 00:04:24
			Islam, you cannot sell it.
		
00:04:25 --> 00:04:28
			Nobody can sell something that they don't feel
		
00:04:28 --> 00:04:29
			confident in themselves.
		
00:04:30 --> 00:04:33
			So this confidence in this case is not
		
00:04:33 --> 00:04:35
			demonstrated by giving speeches about it, but by
		
00:04:35 --> 00:04:35
			living it.
		
00:04:36 --> 00:04:39
			So now you are with this friend and
		
00:04:39 --> 00:04:40
			you are making friends with them.
		
00:04:40 --> 00:04:41
			So you are with them and maybe they
		
00:04:41 --> 00:04:42
			are interested.
		
00:04:42 --> 00:04:44
			One way of making friends is to see
		
00:04:44 --> 00:04:46
			if you share some interest.
		
00:04:46 --> 00:04:48
			So you share an interest, say in sports,
		
00:04:49 --> 00:04:51
			so you are playing soccer or something with
		
00:04:51 --> 00:04:51
			them.
		
00:04:52 --> 00:04:54
			Now first and foremost, how do you dress?
		
00:04:54 --> 00:04:55
			You don't wear shorts.
		
00:04:56 --> 00:04:58
			You wear things that go beyond down to
		
00:04:58 --> 00:04:59
			the middle of your calves.
		
00:05:00 --> 00:05:03
			You do not leave your knees bare.
		
00:05:05 --> 00:05:06
			You don't run around without your shirt.
		
00:05:07 --> 00:05:08
			Doesn't matter if you have a six-pack
		
00:05:08 --> 00:05:09
			or an eight-pack.
		
00:05:09 --> 00:05:11
			That is between you and Allah.
		
00:05:11 --> 00:05:12
			It is not to be shown to the
		
00:05:12 --> 00:05:12
			world.
		
00:05:14 --> 00:05:16
			So you dress in a way which is
		
00:05:16 --> 00:05:17
			dignified.
		
00:05:18 --> 00:05:18
			They will notice.
		
00:05:19 --> 00:05:19
			People notice.
		
00:05:20 --> 00:05:20
			Let them notice.
		
00:05:20 --> 00:05:21
			We want them to notice.
		
00:05:22 --> 00:05:25
			Then you are playing the game, and in
		
00:05:25 --> 00:05:27
			the game you will play also with compassion,
		
00:05:27 --> 00:05:28
			also with kindness.
		
00:05:28 --> 00:05:29
			You will not make fouls.
		
00:05:30 --> 00:05:32
			You will not try to do something to
		
00:05:32 --> 00:05:33
			hurt somebody else.
		
00:05:33 --> 00:05:36
			You will put your life and soul into
		
00:05:36 --> 00:05:36
			it.
		
00:05:36 --> 00:05:38
			You will be the first person on the
		
00:05:38 --> 00:05:38
			field.
		
00:05:38 --> 00:05:41
			You will come an hour before everybody else
		
00:05:41 --> 00:05:42
			and practice.
		
00:05:44 --> 00:05:45
			You will pass the ball to somebody who
		
00:05:45 --> 00:05:47
			is in a better position to score the
		
00:05:47 --> 00:05:48
			goal, even though it means that you will
		
00:05:48 --> 00:05:50
			not score the goal yourself.
		
00:05:51 --> 00:05:51
			It doesn't matter.
		
00:05:51 --> 00:05:53
			You will pass the ball to the other
		
00:05:53 --> 00:05:54
			person who was in a better position to
		
00:05:54 --> 00:05:57
			score the goal so that your team wins.
		
00:05:58 --> 00:05:59
			You will not try to win at the
		
00:05:59 --> 00:06:00
			expense of the team.
		
00:06:01 --> 00:06:04
			You will always, always, always be polite.
		
00:06:05 --> 00:06:06
			You will never be rude.
		
00:06:06 --> 00:06:08
			You will never use foul language.
		
00:06:12 --> 00:06:13
			You will do all of this stuff.
		
00:06:17 --> 00:06:23
			When you go back to the stands and
		
00:06:23 --> 00:06:26
			you are in the shower room and so
		
00:06:26 --> 00:06:27
			on, you won't walk around naked like others.
		
00:06:30 --> 00:06:33
			You will practice your Islam in all of
		
00:06:33 --> 00:06:34
			these ways.
		
00:06:35 --> 00:06:37
			Then when it is time to pray, you
		
00:06:37 --> 00:06:37
			will pray.
		
00:06:38 --> 00:06:40
			You don't have to stop in the middle
		
00:06:40 --> 00:06:42
			of the game and pray in the middle
		
00:06:42 --> 00:06:44
			of the field to show the world that
		
00:06:44 --> 00:06:45
			you are a great, pious person.
		
00:06:46 --> 00:06:46
			No.
		
00:06:46 --> 00:06:48
			There is a time for the Salah and
		
00:06:48 --> 00:06:52
			there is a time slot, but you will
		
00:06:52 --> 00:06:53
			not miss the Salah.
		
00:06:54 --> 00:06:56
			If it looks like the time is going
		
00:06:56 --> 00:06:58
			to be missed, then you will ask permission
		
00:06:58 --> 00:07:01
			from the coach and the referees, and you
		
00:07:01 --> 00:07:03
			will pray to one side on the side
		
00:07:03 --> 00:07:04
			of the field, but you will pray.
		
00:07:05 --> 00:07:06
			And if there is time to pray after
		
00:07:06 --> 00:07:08
			the game is over, you pray after the
		
00:07:08 --> 00:07:09
			game is over, but you will pray.
		
00:07:09 --> 00:07:12
			You will make sure that you pray within
		
00:07:12 --> 00:07:13
			the time of the prayer.
		
00:07:14 --> 00:07:16
			Again, please understand this.
		
00:07:16 --> 00:07:17
			You are doing this for the sake of
		
00:07:17 --> 00:07:18
			Allah SWT.
		
00:07:18 --> 00:07:19
			You are not doing this to show the
		
00:07:19 --> 00:07:19
			world.
		
00:07:20 --> 00:07:22
			So do it with dignity, but make sure
		
00:07:22 --> 00:07:23
			that you show that.
		
00:07:25 --> 00:07:26
			Then you win the game.
		
00:07:26 --> 00:07:27
			Everybody is in the party.
		
00:07:28 --> 00:07:29
			You will not go to the party.
		
00:07:29 --> 00:07:30
			You will say, sorry, I don't participate in
		
00:07:30 --> 00:07:31
			these kinds of things.
		
00:07:32 --> 00:07:34
			Don't sit there pompously and say it as
		
00:07:34 --> 00:07:35
			if you're looking down on people.
		
00:07:35 --> 00:07:37
			Just say, my religion does not permit me
		
00:07:37 --> 00:07:38
			to go to a place where there is
		
00:07:38 --> 00:07:42
			alcohol, where there is music and dancing and
		
00:07:42 --> 00:07:43
			girls and so on.
		
00:07:43 --> 00:07:45
			So sorry, I won't join you guys here.
		
00:07:46 --> 00:07:48
			I'll meet you after the party is over.
		
00:07:48 --> 00:07:51
			So you make sure that you practice your
		
00:07:51 --> 00:07:52
			religion, but you play.
		
00:07:52 --> 00:07:55
			And remember, believe me, those of you who
		
00:07:55 --> 00:07:56
			think that if I'm not going to do
		
00:07:56 --> 00:07:58
			that, I won't be popular, believe me, the
		
00:07:58 --> 00:08:00
			most popular person on the team is the
		
00:08:00 --> 00:08:02
			person who helps the team to score the
		
00:08:02 --> 00:08:02
			most goals.
		
00:08:03 --> 00:08:04
			Nothing else matters.
		
00:08:05 --> 00:08:06
			Nothing else matters.
		
00:08:07 --> 00:08:10
			Today people remember somebody like, I'm going from
		
00:08:10 --> 00:08:12
			soccer to basketball, but just for the example,
		
00:08:12 --> 00:08:15
			today people remember Kobe Bryant, not because of
		
00:08:15 --> 00:08:17
			whether he drank or he didn't drink or
		
00:08:17 --> 00:08:18
			he went to a party or didn't go
		
00:08:18 --> 00:08:19
			to a party.
		
00:08:19 --> 00:08:23
			They remember him because of his brilliant professional
		
00:08:23 --> 00:08:26
			competence and capability which he demonstrated on the
		
00:08:26 --> 00:08:27
			court.
		
00:08:28 --> 00:08:30
			They remember him for the fact that he
		
00:08:30 --> 00:08:32
			would be up three hours before the team
		
00:08:32 --> 00:08:33
			to practice.
		
00:08:33 --> 00:08:35
			They remember him because after winning a game,
		
00:08:36 --> 00:08:38
			he would come and everybody would go home
		
00:08:38 --> 00:08:40
			and he would go to the court and
		
00:08:40 --> 00:08:45
			he would practice 500 times the one throw
		
00:08:45 --> 00:08:47
			that he missed in the game which the
		
00:08:47 --> 00:08:48
			team won.
		
00:08:50 --> 00:08:54
			People remember you for your professional competence.
		
00:08:54 --> 00:08:57
			So don't worry about popularity at the expense
		
00:08:57 --> 00:08:58
			of your religion, no.
		
00:08:59 --> 00:09:06
			So make friends and then point number two,
		
00:09:06 --> 00:09:07
			give them a sample of Islam.
		
00:09:07 --> 00:09:10
			Let them see Islam in action and that
		
00:09:10 --> 00:09:13
			Islam in action they will see when they
		
00:09:13 --> 00:09:15
			see you practicing as a Muslim.
		
00:09:16 --> 00:09:19
			And the third thing is be prepared to
		
00:09:19 --> 00:09:21
			answer questions and people will ask questions.
		
00:09:22 --> 00:09:23
			People will ask questions and if they don't
		
00:09:23 --> 00:09:27
			ask questions, open the door to questions by
		
00:09:27 --> 00:09:29
			a couple of things.
		
00:09:29 --> 00:09:31
			One is when you are doing your own
		
00:09:31 --> 00:09:33
			Islam stuff, people will ask you questions.
		
00:09:33 --> 00:09:35
			If they don't ask you questions, go a
		
00:09:35 --> 00:09:36
			step further and say this is the reason
		
00:09:36 --> 00:09:37
			I'm doing this.
		
00:09:39 --> 00:09:41
			Now again, don't accost them in the street,
		
00:09:42 --> 00:09:44
			don't shove it down their throats, no debating,
		
00:09:44 --> 00:09:49
			no clever answers, no making fun or mocking
		
00:09:49 --> 00:09:52
			of their gods and their beliefs and their
		
00:09:52 --> 00:09:53
			superstitions and their anything.
		
00:09:55 --> 00:09:59
			You present your picture in the best possible
		
00:09:59 --> 00:09:59
			manner.
		
00:10:00 --> 00:10:03
			So answer questions.
		
00:10:03 --> 00:10:06
			Bring the person to a question, make him
		
00:10:06 --> 00:10:08
			ask a question and then you answer the
		
00:10:08 --> 00:10:08
			question.
		
00:10:08 --> 00:10:11
			The key thing is that a person is
		
00:10:11 --> 00:10:15
			much more willing to listen to an answer
		
00:10:15 --> 00:10:19
			to his question rather than exactly the same
		
00:10:19 --> 00:10:22
			thing if it is told to him without
		
00:10:22 --> 00:10:23
			him having asked a question.
		
00:10:25 --> 00:10:27
			He never asked you anything but you are
		
00:10:27 --> 00:10:29
			telling him something but the same thing he
		
00:10:29 --> 00:10:30
			asks you and you tell him, he will
		
00:10:30 --> 00:10:33
			listen to you more because it's now a
		
00:10:33 --> 00:10:35
			response to his question.
		
00:10:36 --> 00:10:40
			And that's the trick or the knack or
		
00:10:40 --> 00:10:41
			the talent.
		
00:10:41 --> 00:10:44
			How can I make somebody ask me a
		
00:10:44 --> 00:10:44
			question?
		
00:10:45 --> 00:10:48
			One of the most straightforward ways is do
		
00:10:48 --> 00:10:49
			you want to know?
		
00:10:49 --> 00:10:50
			Shall I tell you?
		
00:10:59 --> 00:11:01
			Shall I show you a trade which will
		
00:11:01 --> 00:11:05
			save you from a very painful punishment and
		
00:11:05 --> 00:11:06
			so on?
		
00:11:07 --> 00:11:10
			So ask people, do you want me to
		
00:11:10 --> 00:11:10
			show you this?
		
00:11:11 --> 00:11:12
			Shall I tell you about this?
		
00:11:12 --> 00:11:13
			Do you want to know?
		
00:11:14 --> 00:11:16
			But that's one way but other ways is
		
00:11:16 --> 00:11:18
			where you do something in a way where
		
00:11:18 --> 00:11:20
			a person will automatically ask a question.
		
00:11:20 --> 00:11:24
			If they don't ask then try different ways.
		
00:11:25 --> 00:11:28
			So three things, make friends, give them a
		
00:11:28 --> 00:11:30
			sample of your product which is Islam itself
		
00:11:30 --> 00:11:32
			by showing them in your own life.
		
00:11:33 --> 00:11:35
			And I gave you examples in the game
		
00:11:35 --> 00:11:37
			but other games also, right?
		
00:11:37 --> 00:11:39
			Your honesty, your integrity.
		
00:11:40 --> 00:11:41
			Take them home.
		
00:11:41 --> 00:11:43
			Let them see what your house looks like.
		
00:11:43 --> 00:11:45
			Let them see what your room looks like
		
00:11:45 --> 00:11:46
			if you are in college and university.
		
00:11:47 --> 00:11:49
			Let them see a room which is where
		
00:11:49 --> 00:11:52
			the bed is made, things are put in
		
00:11:52 --> 00:11:56
			the right places, not a room which looks
		
00:11:56 --> 00:11:56
			like a trash can.
		
00:11:57 --> 00:11:59
			Let them ride in your car.
		
00:11:59 --> 00:12:00
			Your car shouldn't look like a trash can
		
00:12:00 --> 00:12:01
			on four wheels.
		
00:12:02 --> 00:12:06
			Make sure that your Islam is visible in
		
00:12:06 --> 00:12:08
			all its beauty, in every aspect of your
		
00:12:08 --> 00:12:09
			life, not only one.
		
00:12:11 --> 00:12:13
			You go with them to a restaurant, make
		
00:12:13 --> 00:12:15
			sure they see how you treat the waiters.
		
00:12:16 --> 00:12:19
			Thanking people, pulling somebody's chair for them, let
		
00:12:19 --> 00:12:19
			them sit down.
		
00:12:20 --> 00:12:24
			Being polite to people, serving people, standing up
		
00:12:24 --> 00:12:27
			and showing respect for elders, right?
		
00:12:28 --> 00:12:31
			In today's world and especially in this country,
		
00:12:33 --> 00:12:36
			I see Muslims, young Muslims, brothers with big
		
00:12:36 --> 00:12:40
			beards, sisters with hijab and so on but
		
00:12:40 --> 00:12:41
			zero manners.
		
00:12:42 --> 00:12:42
			Don't do that.
		
00:12:43 --> 00:12:44
			Don't do that.
		
00:12:44 --> 00:12:47
			Your beard cuts no ice with anybody except
		
00:12:47 --> 00:12:49
			maybe the Baba, right?
		
00:12:50 --> 00:12:52
			You need to show your akhlaq.
		
00:12:52 --> 00:12:55
			If you don't have politeness, if you do
		
00:12:55 --> 00:12:58
			not respect your elders, if you do not
		
00:12:58 --> 00:13:04
			show consideration to people, you can have a
		
00:13:04 --> 00:13:06
			beard like we were living here.
		
00:13:06 --> 00:13:06
			Who cares?
		
00:13:08 --> 00:13:10
			So show your manners.
		
00:13:12 --> 00:13:13
			Demonstrate Islam.
		
00:13:13 --> 00:13:15
			Show them how Islam is superior to whatever
		
00:13:15 --> 00:13:16
			they are practicing.
		
00:13:17 --> 00:13:19
			And then let the questions come in and
		
00:13:19 --> 00:13:20
			answer the questions.
		
00:13:20 --> 00:13:22
			And then final point.
		
00:13:23 --> 00:13:25
			Stand in the light and cry before Allah
		
00:13:25 --> 00:13:28
			asking Allah to give hidayahs to the person
		
00:13:28 --> 00:13:29
			that you are talking to.
		
00:13:31 --> 00:13:35
			That last one is something we forget because
		
00:13:35 --> 00:13:36
			we are so focused on our own effort.
		
00:13:37 --> 00:13:38
			We think that we can do it.
		
00:13:38 --> 00:13:39
			We can't do it.
		
00:13:40 --> 00:13:43
			Allah said to Rasulullah himself, لا تهدي اما
		
00:13:43 --> 00:13:47
			نحبب ولكن الله يهدي من يشعر Allah said
		
00:13:47 --> 00:13:48
			you cannot give hidayahs to whoever you like.
		
00:13:48 --> 00:13:51
			Allah will give to whoever He likes.
		
00:13:53 --> 00:13:56
			So stand before Allah in the night in
		
00:13:56 --> 00:13:57
			tahajjud.
		
00:13:57 --> 00:13:58
			Make tahajjud farz on yourself.
		
00:13:58 --> 00:14:00
			If you are serious about dawah, make tahajjud
		
00:14:00 --> 00:14:01
			farz on yourself.
		
00:14:01 --> 00:14:03
			Anyone who did dawah did tahajjud.
		
00:14:05 --> 00:14:07
			Allah gave this to His Nabi.
		
00:14:07 --> 00:14:10
			يَا يُوَى الْمُسْزَمِنِ لُقُمِ لَا إِلَىٰ إِلَّا فَلِيلٌ
		
00:14:11 --> 00:14:13
			Allah said get up and stand in the
		
00:14:13 --> 00:14:13
			night.
		
00:14:14 --> 00:14:16
			So stand in the night.
		
00:14:16 --> 00:14:19
			Beg Allah to give hidayah to the person.
		
00:14:20 --> 00:14:23
			Say to Allah, Ya Rabb, there is nothing
		
00:14:23 --> 00:14:25
			I can do because that person's heart is
		
00:14:25 --> 00:14:26
			in Your control.
		
00:14:26 --> 00:14:27
			Change their heart.
		
00:14:28 --> 00:14:30
			Fill their heart with the nur and the
		
00:14:30 --> 00:14:32
			love and the glory and the majesty and
		
00:14:32 --> 00:14:33
			the khashiyat of Yourself.
		
00:14:35 --> 00:14:39
			Remove me from between that person and Yourself
		
00:14:40 --> 00:14:41
			and You guide them.
		
00:14:41 --> 00:14:42
			Make the du'a.
		
00:14:44 --> 00:14:44
			Beg Allah.
		
00:14:45 --> 00:14:46
			Cry before Allah.
		
00:14:47 --> 00:14:48
			This is what the Nabi did.
		
00:14:48 --> 00:14:49
			They worked in the day and they cried
		
00:14:49 --> 00:14:50
			before Allah in the night.
		
00:14:52 --> 00:14:54
			We do the work sometimes but we forget
		
00:14:54 --> 00:14:55
			about this.
		
00:14:56 --> 00:14:57
			Cry in the night before Allah.
		
00:14:57 --> 00:14:59
			And then finally if Allah gives you that
		
00:14:59 --> 00:15:01
			and may Allah give you great success, may
		
00:15:01 --> 00:15:05
			Allah make you the means of guiding thousands
		
00:15:05 --> 00:15:07
			of people, millions of people to Islam.
		
00:15:08 --> 00:15:10
			When that happens, when the first person accepts
		
00:15:10 --> 00:15:15
			Islam, thanks to your effort, fall in sujood,
		
00:15:15 --> 00:15:17
			thank Allah and make istighfar.
		
00:15:18 --> 00:15:19
			Astaghfiru.
		
00:15:22 --> 00:15:32
			Allah says, Then what?
		
00:15:33 --> 00:15:35
			Tasbih bi hamdi rabbik.
		
00:15:36 --> 00:15:37
			Astaghfiru.
		
00:15:38 --> 00:15:43
			Make tasbih of Allah and make istighfar.
		
00:15:44 --> 00:15:44
			Make istighfar.
		
00:15:45 --> 00:15:49
			Beg Allah for forgiveness because otherwise kibur comes
		
00:15:49 --> 00:15:49
			in.
		
00:15:50 --> 00:15:51
			You think you have done the job.
		
00:15:51 --> 00:15:52
			You have not done the job.
		
00:15:52 --> 00:15:53
			Allah has done the job.
		
00:15:55 --> 00:15:55
			Allah has done the job.
		
00:15:58 --> 00:16:01
			The Prophet said, Not me.
		
00:16:02 --> 00:16:03
			Alone.
		
00:16:03 --> 00:16:04
			You have defeated the people.
		
00:16:05 --> 00:16:06
			You have defeated the enemies of Islam.
		
00:16:06 --> 00:16:08
			You have defeated shaitan.
		
00:16:08 --> 00:16:10
			You have defeated all the forces of evil
		
00:16:10 --> 00:16:11
			and misguidance.
		
00:16:12 --> 00:16:13
			Not me.
		
00:16:14 --> 00:16:15
			That is the lesson for us.
		
00:16:16 --> 00:16:18
			So, beg Allah for forgiveness.
		
00:16:19 --> 00:16:20
			Don't post it on Facebook.
		
00:16:21 --> 00:16:22
			Don't post videos.
		
00:16:22 --> 00:16:23
			Don't post it on Instagram.
		
00:16:23 --> 00:16:26
			Please stay far away from that because remember
		
00:16:26 --> 00:16:27
			all your effort.
		
00:16:28 --> 00:16:31
			One posting you make, that effort has gone
		
00:16:31 --> 00:16:32
			down the drain.
		
00:16:32 --> 00:16:35
			You pulled the flush on it.
		
00:16:36 --> 00:16:39
			You flushed it down the toilet because all
		
00:16:39 --> 00:16:41
			your effort went down the drain because now
		
00:16:41 --> 00:16:42
			you put it on Facebook and say, Oh,
		
00:16:42 --> 00:16:43
			this is what I did.
		
00:16:43 --> 00:16:43
			Finished.
		
00:16:44 --> 00:16:44
			Gone.
		
00:16:45 --> 00:16:46
			Don't destroy your own effort.
		
00:16:47 --> 00:16:48
			You need this.
		
00:16:48 --> 00:16:50
			If Allah gives that to you, this is
		
00:16:50 --> 00:16:53
			the greatest asset you can have with yourself
		
00:16:53 --> 00:16:54
			from the Day of Judgment.
		
00:16:54 --> 00:16:57
			Don't lose it by propagating it.
		
00:16:57 --> 00:16:59
			Don't lose it by publicizing it.
		
00:16:59 --> 00:17:02
			Don't lose it by making videos and posting
		
00:17:02 --> 00:17:02
			it.
		
00:17:03 --> 00:17:04
			Don't do that.
		
00:17:05 --> 00:17:06
			Don't let somebody fool you and say, Oh,
		
00:17:06 --> 00:17:07
			but you see, this will give Hidayat.
		
00:17:08 --> 00:17:09
			No, it will not give Hidayat to anybody.
		
00:17:09 --> 00:17:13
			It will destroy your good deed and all
		
00:17:13 --> 00:17:16
			your work will be trashed and will have
		
00:17:16 --> 00:17:17
			no meaning before Allah.
		
00:17:18 --> 00:17:19
			Don't do that to yourself.
		
00:17:20 --> 00:17:25
			Ask Allah to grant us the joy of
		
00:17:25 --> 00:17:30
			doing His work for His sake alone and
		
00:17:30 --> 00:17:32
			the joy of Him being pleased with us.
		
00:17:36 --> 00:17:36
			Al Fatiha.
