I want to begin with the reciting for you some Quran from so they are seen where Allah subhanaw taala mentioned. Dawa and he mentioned the entire process of Dawa

My dear brothers and sisters
Allah subhanho wa Taala created this deen
and he created this Deen
as the single biggest
proof
of his
I have been
invited today
to give you some advice about Tao.
And as I say to my brother,
ha, they have this alarm, that if you make a mistake once, then you can be forgiven. But if you make the same mistake again and again, then I have to only ask Allah for forgiveness for you because he makes the same mistake again and again calls me again and again. He should know that this is I'm not the right person for this. So we ask Allah subhanaw taala to
I asked you to make dua for my forgiveness.
And I make dua for his forgiveness.
And we ask Allah subhanaw taala to enable me to say that which is beneficial for me and for you, and to save you and myself from saying something which is not beneficial for us. And we ask Allah subhanaw taala to be pleased with you're coming here and to bless you and to give you from his power
because the issue of the hour and this is something that I want to begin with this.
I decided for you the ayat of surah Quran so look we are seeing because Allah subhanaw taala described the center Rasul
Allah subhanaw taala mentioned
that he sent to Gambia to this town
and the university to say that this town was probably a terminal called Antioch which is currently in, in Turkey, Walla, Harlem.
And then Allah Sahara sent one more and it strengthened was the chalice so Allah subhanaw taala strengthen them with one more.
And these Gambia invited towards Allah subhanaw taala Jalla Jalla Allahu
Allahu Harada said that they invited towards Allah and they did not ask for any
they did Dawa purely and purely for the
pleasure of Allah subhanaw taala geladeira and they did not ask for any other.
And this is the first thing that I want to mention to you.
That the way of the Obeah is to do thou only and only for the pleasure of Allah subhanaw taala and not to make Tao a source of income for yourself.
No Nabil ever took money
to give no nobody ever took money to teach Islam to anybody.
And the delille is the Kitab of Allah subhanho wa Taala itself
and we do not have any real which is stronger than that. If this delille is not enough, then Allah Allah I cannot I don't have anything better than the Kitab of Allah Subhana Allah.
Then Allah subhanho wa Taala mentioned the principle of Dharma which is to convey and not to convince, oh ma Lena il Bella Oldsmobile.
To convey and not to convince her why, why not to convince because Allah subhanaw taala did not give it in our hands to convince
Allah did not give it in our hands to convince
Allah subhanaw taala said this to his Nabi Mohamed Salah Allah Allah was that was ALLAH and he said you cannot give you that to those you like, but Allah subhanho wa Taala can give you that to whoever he likes
and this is an idea of Bashara foreigner visa laser which and I have comfort whether we sell or sell him to say that don't be disappointed and don't be aggrieved and don't
be sad that people are not being convinced that is not your problem. Don't worry about that. It Allah subhanaw taala has
prerogative and it is it is his power and he says that he will give he Daya to whoever he considers to be, to be worthy of it. God Allah looks at the hearts, Allah subhanaw taala will answer questions.
But it's up to the slave to ask the question
and then Allah subhanaw taala and these ayat of surah. Yasin, Allah then describe the process, what is the process? The first part of the process of Dawa is that you will be denied and you will be refuted and you will be refused?
And people will say you have nothing you are this is nonsense, you don't have anything from Allah
almanzora Rahman, Allah has not sent anything volume.
And then we will find that this is not enough to deter and to discourage the dawat il Allah.
So, they go to the next stage
and then the next stages they say we will now punish you.
We will improve the new or we will beat you or we will punish you in one way or the other.
Way, Lagonda Alana joumana Kumala zanaco In Robben Island,
we will do whatever we can do.
And Allah subhanho wa Taala mentioned, what is the response of the Emir
do the Gambia fight back. They say you will punish us we will punish you back.
We will make dua against you that Allah subhanaw taala should send down the fire of Johanna Manyo head now
the MBSA whatever evil you say, that is with you,
but we will do the work for which Allah subhanaw taala has sent us.
Allah knows he has sent us.
Allah knows he has sent us
and then Allah Subhana Allah describes the final stage
which comes only to those who Allah subhanaw taala chooses
because the final stage is
the economic volatile.
And ideal.
In this in the set of ayat
Allah subhanaw taala
mentioned his Ikram on somebody who was not unhappy
that he can give to someone who's not unhappy.
And this is in insha Allah this is to underline the importance of the hour for every individual
which I mean XL Medina de Raju, yes.
How did he come? He didn't store and it didn't come leisurely and so on. Yes.
He came with effort he gave running
he was not unhappy. It was not his job to come. It was not his job to the job of the hour had been given to them not to this one.
What was the need for him to go he knew the situation
he knew the situation he was not a fool he didn't come thinking that everything is okay no he knew exactly what was happening
and then Allah described the final stage and the final stages that the gilded
and when they killed him
what is the wish of the man
he does not say I wish I was not killed.
He said I wish my people knew
how am I Rob has done my
I missed my people knew
Paul Allen call me.
Yeah, no.
I wish my people knew and so what did he say?
He's wrapped did not send an Angel did for his people alone.
He's upset.
You want your people to know.
I will.
And I will tell not only them.
I will tell all people till the Day of Judgment
I
said these I
said the story of this man
he didn't send it in
Saheba with those Gambia
and this is also a lesson for us.
In saying that,
we want results quickly.
Allah subhanaw taala informed people, but when
he did not inform the people through zeva, through a way to those abbia, then and then
Allah subhanaw taala sent these ayat in a very special Surah
with all the Kurama and all the is of the surah. So to see
in the Kitab, which is send on his final last messenger, Muhammad, Allah, Allah, Allah, Allah, Imam Colombia, so you will mousseline caught him on the begin.
See the crab of this man.
See the economy this man
who is telling the story of that man to the people, Muhammad sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said,
Allah subhanaw taala told the story, without him Muhammad sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, and this story is being recited in Salah by the hubby
This is the position
of the one
who does Tao of Islam.
This is a position.
So
my first reminder to myself and you
is do not devalue what you do.
Do not lower the cost
of this work that Allah subhanaw taala has given you.
And the way of lowering the car is by two things, seeking money and seeking them.
Second point,
basic principle in life, you can only give what you have.
If I'm sick,
and I go
to the king of this country.
And I say Your Majesty, I'm sick.
Please give me medicine.
Please help me what will His Majesty do?
Hamdulillah you have a king with a good heart. So he will say he will say to somebody take him to the hospital, the best hospital in Oman and say that he is my guest. So he will be treated free of costs.
Give him the best treatment possible.
And if the treatment is not available in Oman, then send him to wherever in the world and I will pay for it.
Yes, but I will tell him ya
Malik.
Oh by King
I want you to give me medicine.
You are telling me you're giving you're using your power and authority and money. May Allah, Allah reward you. But I came to you for medicine. What was the king say? He will say I'm not a doctor.
I cannot give you medicine. I don't know what is wrong with you. I can send you to a doctor I can pay for the fees of the doctor I can do whatever but I cannot give you medicine because I am not a doctor.
You can only give what you have.
So my question to you myself and you is what do you have?
When you are going to the people to introduce Allah Subhana Allah Allah Jalla Jalla Lu.
What do you know about Allah?
Do you know Allah?
If my brother had him wants to if I want to introduce him to you.
Then what must I know? I must know him first.
Depending on how I want to introduce him I must know about his life.
So, who is he? Where was he born? Where did he study who or which college which school? What is his life experience so on and so on and so on. And the more and more I know about him, the more I can introduce him to you.
But suppose I have a brother has him outside his door and Allah he is a Muslim, a Muslim, I Marja, my brother
and
his brother, Raj. Hola. Hola. Hola. Hola. Hola. Oh, he's a very beautiful man and he has a beautiful way of trying Yamaha and he taught me the thing and he said now you have to try it 10,000 times and you become an expert like me? I would be on this I don't know.
So if you want to introduce Allah Subhana Allah Allah Jalla Jalla Allahu to the people. What do you know about Allah?
And please notice my words.
What do you know about Allah? And do you know Allah?
There is a big difference.
There is a huge difference in the two
if you ask me, What do I know about Sudan Cabos.
I can tell you many things.
I would have gotten to Google or somewhere or read a book and I would I can say Alhamdulillah this is his line age and so on and so on and so on. But if you ask me mashallah, you know so much about Sudan, Kabul, you know certain Caboose
you know, His Majesty. What my answer
I know about His Majesty, but I don't know him. My question to you is you know about Allah.
But do you know
and my submission to you my brothers and sisters is you cannot introduce somebody you don't know.
Do you know Allah?
Because if you don't know Allah, how are you going to introduce Allah to somebody?
And there is a test.
There is a test to know to find out whether you know allow or not.
And Allah subhanaw taala told us what is this test?
Allah subhanho dataset is one of the landfill. Enamel BootMii known on Lavina isa cukier Allahu wa De La Paloma who will either Juliette de la heme iron whose other tomb Imana were Isla Rob be him yet our cologne the result of these two things.
Test
unless you are the mumineen who are the believers who are the ones who are the people who can introduce Allah to others. Those who when the name of Allah subhanaw taala comes before them, there is an effect on their hearts.
Something happens to them inside.
When the name of Allah come before them something happens to them inside.
When the Ayat of Allah subhanaw taala are recited before them when they see the Ayat of Allah subhanaw taala in the kayak in the garden around them
that EMA and increases so Han Allah this is my IRA
and as a result of those these two things on the heart, what Allah Rob behavior at our cologne
they have dark pool they have fade they have reliance on the
test
so let us do this test.
Let us do this test. Reflect on your heart. See what is happening.

What happens to the heart?
Ask yourself
what is happening to my heart? How many of us are in touch with our heart? When I say something like what is happening to your heart? Does the statement itself make sense?
Can you tell me what is happening to your heart? Do you know where your heart
this is a problem. This is a problem today we are in a state where
I don't mean you people. But generally speaking we have this desire for for the power to give the power. But we have zero tarbiyah
we never learned and we think our means how to make nice PowerPoint presentations. We think our means public speaking skills.
We think doubtful Islam means that how can I get our human after argument
to convince this person and to convince that person

he said my lab says bye

Well, as I said, Yes. He said, Why am I doing this?
He told his people the very top I don't expect will give back their material, everything
that I finished I'm not doing this work anymore
this is a story written by Mr. Lao Zi himself
Rama to learning while they were doing.
And then he said,
so we continued on our way.
And we reached the
end remember Jose said I was making Tawaf
and when I'm making the off ice here, the sound of crying.
You heard somebody weeping and allows Ira Rahmatullah. He says, It was like, he said, The Weeping was like a mother, whose child has been taken, the throat was slit and it is given back to the child back to the mother, small, a mother with a baby. If they take the baby from the mother. They slit the throat of the baby and give it back to the mother what will happen to that mother?
How will he said that was the kind of sound of crying
and I saw that this was meant that is bad was when he was weeping like he was completely desolate.
So I went to see who the man is and who was it? It was this highway robber
it was that man was that highway robbery.
So remember, that was I said, I tapped him on the shoulder. And he recited the next Ayatollah Zarya.
And that I had this verb be summer he was already

Allah set by the rubber of the heavens and the earth, Allah subhanaw taala is taking an oath by himself, what can be a bigger oath than the oath that Allah takes by himself?
Allah says, By the realm of the heavens and the earth,
this is the truth in whole
and Allah gives them an example. And Allah says this is as true as you speak to each other.
So just as you speak to each other, and you know, this is how I've spoken to my brother had him.
I don't have any doubt about this.
Allah says this promise of mine
is as true as this. And even more truly God this is the prophets of Allah. Jana Jana
Suba Malouda it said I decided this is to the man.
He said the man looks at me and he says
my Rob has to swear by himself. He has to take an oath by himself to convince me.
He says why does he have to do this?
You all as I said he was not an island
who is not an island?
He was making his heart who speak he like
he's in my love. His quite as good.
I believe in
I believe him.
Why does he have to take an oath by himself? An oath of himself. Why does he have to take 12 by himself to convince me who am I?
What is Baba
What is this power?
That one little

Do you think that happened? Because I was it was a great copy of the Quran.

Or did it happen because it comes from the heart of a man who knows his

And this is among the earliest of the sower to be revealed
this is among the earliest of the calamity revealed

And why because we are going to give you a very big job in Gallica covenant tequila, we are going to send you a very heavy message
prepare yourself prepare yourself who told me the art of today that you can just get up and start doing now to do this
you cannot get up and start doing anything
you cannot get up and start driving a car just because I want to drive a car you have to go to a driving school and take lessons and get a license otherwise you kill yourself and you kill others.
I maybe I have great passion I want to learn how to fly a plane. Can I just go and shoot inside a plane?
I can sit in the plane if I can't fly
if a flight I kill myself
you cannot get up and do anything you cannot even get up and make a cup of tea. You have to know how to make tea.
How did you imagine that if you just get up and do
something which is so unimportant that you will just get up and do it
who told you this?
Just having a duel Allah very good Mashallah. We must have a doozy but prepare yourself
and the preparation starts with not
With reading books, big Phaedra today may Allah Subhana Allah protect us.
Oh Jack Sandra, I would
say that the hijab of Nora is 70,000 more times 70,000 times more difficult to break the hijab of Bournemouth
and he said, the hijab of nor is the hijab of knowledge, the curtain of light is 70,000 times more difficult to break than the curtain of darkness. He says the curtain of darkness takes one ray of light
which is misguidance, which is ignorance takes one ray of light. One small resignation of the eye by Imam allows I convinced that man who has a child who has a child who was a criminal, when I was in a foreign harlots changed his entire life.
But people who consider themselves to Alama they have graduated from this dark room and that mother's side this Java
and they think they are the art and the other people who read this book and that book and attend this course and that course.
These are curtains of light, how do you break a gutter of light it's already liked.
And why don't I say this is 70,000 Be very very careful because this is either you are in more serious trouble than somebody who does not know.
So preparation does not mean reading books. I have nothing against reading but you have to read books you must know the material is very important. You can't you can give dower without doing the math but it doesn't begin with that that is a later stage. It begins with connecting with Allah subhanho wa Taala Who is Allah What is What do you know you know Allah go far go beat Allah. Go meet Allah
and how to do that Allah's one's gonna told us in the hajj.
And what will he give for this?
He said that, you know, Buho Manuel Maga yada thrown out of the home cold for
me, my brother on our own Mulan fipple fala Dorado enough some fella home in karate iron Jazza Bhima.
or Allah said those who stand up who get off from their sides in the middle of the night, and they stand before they rub by the low fever.
Between fearing his anger and between asking for his hope.
The position of the Muslim is buying Alpha Futaba fearing the anger of Allah fearing to displease Allah and hoping for the mercy and forgiveness of Allah subhanaw taala.
On
the spread and from what we have given did Allah say they take money
where did this whole thing of taking money for our comm I have no idea.
I love that they spend from what We have given
me matter of
fact, the Ala Moana AppSumo PLO in Karachi,
Georgia and Viva Korea Milan. And let's say if they knew what we have prepared for them for this action,
they will be delighted. It will be the fullness of the rice
to have
anyone who wants to do our must make the Hadoop further on himself. And that's why I mentioned where you will have the ayat which as I just said that Allah subhanaw taala said this is first and for 12 months the last of the I
observed that was up in the 20th I did not come and she said that Rasul Allah Salem and the Sahaba parade the Hajj as if it was fun.
At that time, there was no other
all the other Salawat came almost 12 years later.
It is our mirage
that you came before that
and you said they prayed as if it was false.
Why? Because they knew this is the this is the assess. This is the resource. This is my wealth. This is the charger for my phone if I want to talk in the morning I tried the one in the night. If I don't charge the phone in the night, the phone looks like a phone but it has no battery the battery's dead I can't this guy can use this looks like a boat doesn't change. Ship doesn't change.
And that is why today we go and we do now if you get frustrated we get angry we get all kinds of things. Why? Because the phone is battery's dead there's no connection with Allah subhanho data.
Third point learn to come in
To get
do not imagine that communication is a natural thing, it's not a natural thing, even if you even if you evaded the natural thing, learning how to do that is very important.
Structuring your communication systematizing it talking to people in a language that they understand. And by that I don't necessarily mean English or Telugu or Hulu or Arabic, I mean language meaning language, which fits their culture language, which where they understand your area of language where they understand what you're trying to put across.
And in this context,
one of the mistakes that we make, especially those of us who speak English,
and the even the other ones, they will do one there is one also to that, but who has got so many words in common with Arabic that that saves them. But with English, we make this mistake, which is that we end up translating everything into an English equivalent, which makes no sense at all. For example, we translate Allah as God.
So the Kalama is actually translated as there is no god but God.
What is that?
That's the most nonsensical, oxymoronic statement I've ever heard in my life. There is no god but God, what is the meaning of that? Does God has no God? What are you saying, there's no god but God.
God is not the name of Allah. Allah's name is Allah.
Allah is a proper noun, it is the name of Allah subhanahu wa Jalla Jalla, who
you cannot translate Allah into God, but they do.
They say they translate Rabhi to Lord. So now I go to a Hindu friend of mine, and I tell him
this actually happened to me.
I was sitting in Barcelona,
and I sent some SMS messages to some friends of mine, and I said, I'm sitting here in Barcelona, and I'm making dua for you may Allah Swatara do this, like so happened, one of those friends was a Hindu guy in Rajasthan. And that message also went to him. So immediately, he sends me a message and says, Thank you very much.
Please offer something to Lord Allah
on my behalf
really seriously, he tells me please offer something do not Allah on my behalf.
So then I corrected myself when I told him two things as it first of all, I said in Allah calls to give Allah doesn't call to take.
We don't offer Allah anything we ask Allah.
And then I explained to him, Allah subhanaw taala della della Lu, is not Lord Allah.
Why is the mistake because when you say Lord, he interprets it in his culture. Lord Shiva, Lord Ganesh, Lord, Lord Krishna.
So,
I got so many, one more is fine.
Now we get confused, how will you understand my submission to my brothers? Let him not understand. Because when he does not understand he will ask you a question. And that opens a door for you to explain.
If you say Rama of Allah, is what?
What is that? Ravana what is the hammer? Now you explain what is it?
If you say God's mercy is Yeah, God's mercy in his context, whatever you understand is God's mercy find God's mercy. He doesn't ask you a question because now he has understood it in his context. But that is not your job. Your job is to explain your context.
And you can keep on saying, I said, Lord, did you understand what is the meaning of Lord is He understood? No, I don't think you are how do you know I don't understand.
These come with you can't have this knowledge. Right?
So use the Arabic words. Don't do this. You know, sort of translation into English for every single thing with a verse number one zone, chapter number. So what is worse? Words is a line of poetry.
Go look up the dictionary.
Words is a line of poetry is the Quran poetry?
Is the Quran a poem? What do we worse? Say I?
The mind will ask what is the meaning of I open the door? The whole challenge of the dough is to open doors. If people ask you questions, it gives you an opportunity to do tell them what your message is.
Don't lose that opportunity by grants by doing this translation. There's no words in the Quran, there are Ayat,
ayat or signs of Allah subhana wa
Got a he says what is you said i Anna is oh I what?
I as I as the sign of Allah and you say you know what something you are an ayat of Allah see me
I can't tell you our words
you are a sign of Allah
when you look in the mirror in the morning do you ever think of this I am a sign of Allah I am a sign that there is a Creator
and my creative Wait me like this and Abdullah Look at my face in the morning as a masala
opens doors
third point in communication, I said was to learn communication, culture context, language fluency is one second thing is use the Arabic words don't do this ridiculous translating of everything into English. And third one is use the Quran Al Karim. Recite the color of Allah don't say translations do the translation later. By all means no problem and 100 Jazak Allah when you forget, but do the translation is absolutely no problem. Explain but let them hear the sound of the collab of Allah subhanaw taala my brothers and sisters, there is a power in the kalam of Allah with you and I wanna if you don't understand,
we do not understand. I was saying to myself the other day
a brother of mine,
my brother in law actually in America, after 911 happened, he was invited to Hartford seminary, which is the
the room for the Christian priests in Hartford, so he was invited to Hartford seven This, incidentally is another one which we do this translation
we translate jamea or rollover seminary, he said Seminary of the Auburn.
And the rector of the seminary doesn't make up make up your mind is the urban
ecology college for Christian priests, because the seminary is a college for Christian priests. And a rector is the principal of that college.
What is wrong with saying that oh, what is wrong with saying Jamya What is wrong with saying Madonna? What is wrong with saying Nazeem What is wrong with saying
Open Doors let people ask you that is why people run away from the word mother's mother's or today is one of the
fear words. Mothers are no no no, we don't have a mother's there what do you have?
Because the words have completely they're not there this use them to such an extent that people now start to wonder what is this bother? But if you if this was part of your language, people would not be surprised.
They wouldn't be surprised
