spelar when hamdu lillah wa Salatu was Salam ala Rasulillah while
Allah He was the woman who Allah.
Allah must deny Alma Allah to the Quran about the Daytona or
hablando mela dhankar In a country
along with dama, Samia alumina lady Crick.
We praise and we glorify Allah subhanaw taala and we send the
best of peace and blessings. On his Noble Messenger, the Seal of
all prophets are beloved, and Habib rasool Allah SallAllahu
Sallam and his noble family. May Allah subhanaw taala increase us
in useful knowledge and help us to act upon it and open our hearts to
understanding his Kalam and the message that has been sent to us.
The topic for today, the IRS that we have,
sort of which we are going to study today together is an
assortment they're not from one surah
which deal with Tao, which deal with inviting to Allah subhanaw
taala, which, as you know, was the mission
of the best of human beings which is the MBR mo Salah
that Allah subhanaw taala out of his generosity, when He created
us, he took a covenant with us. And I had in the Allah may Allah
in the realm of the souls.
When he created other Melissa from his side, Allah subhanaw taala
created the rule, the Agua for every human being that was going
to be created, and he gathered them together in that realm. And
he asked them a question, what was the question?
I lost to be a Beckham, Am I not your Lord. And our souls justify,
they said,
CalU Bella Shahida. Now we bear witness. And this was
instilled into our spiritual genome genetics programmed in
there, which is what we call the natural fitrah
that every child born no matter where inside has the program to
recognize one
has the program to know between right and wrong without being
told,
which is what we call the natural fitrah that Allah sent us with
that. So essentially, if we try and understand it in today's
world,
inside us, Allah has put all the apps for this, it's just a matter
of opening the app. If you don't open the app, then it remains the
latent. Okay, recognizing Allah subhanaw taala. And then people,
corruption comes in, viruses come in, somebody makes them idol
worship, or somebody makes them three in one, whatever it is, but
we are all born on a national fitrah because that's how Allah
created us. And we have the story of bliss. And that was Allah's
design. It didn't happen as a surprise to Allah subhanaw taala
he knew this was going to happen, because he was going to be the
main challenge for us who have taken the oath, Am I not your up
okay, now you will be tested for saying yes, we, we take that,
okay. So, Allah subhanaw taala then besides providing for us, he
is a result. And risk is only not just food and drink. It's the air
we breathe, is the environment, social environment, the parents
that social needs, the psychological needs, and most
importantly, the spiritual needs, the Rowhani needs are also part of
Allah's risk. So Allah provided all of that and how did he provide
for that, that when people go astray nations go astray, Allah
would send choose the best of human beings at that time, there
are so we have the time to call them back to the to hate of Allah,
to the obedience of Allah.
So, the Gambia had this, they had a common message calling to the
totally Allah subhanaw taala. And they had a common concern in that
heart, which is
I want to save people.
Like a good doctor physically wants to do the best for their
patients. I want to do the best I want to save this. Now these are
people who are working at a higher level.
I want to save these people from an eternal damnation of Jannah
whatever, wherever they are, my
goal is to save them. That's why they used to feel this Rasulullah
sallallahu alayhi salam it is said sometimes when he will, you could
feel the sound of a kettle boiling inside him, just from the concern
of why people are not listening
for LA laka Barfield, Neff? Sakala. Luqman
is where a caf Allah says, will you destroy yourself because of
the concern that they don't listen to this, this net, this Quran
that's the concern, whatever. Am I doing enough to save mankind?
And Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi salam being cattlemen begin the
final. So he encapsulated all of that concern of every Nabhi that
had come before. And the messages of all these Zambia,
pecans have finally given to him in one package, which is called
Islam Aleo Mark multicam Dina calm Welcome to equanimity. What are
the two the common Islamic Deen?
So just think of it this way that the Gambia were
very special people chosen by Allah but they were human beings.
Every time human beings went astray nations went astray they
would come sometimes Allah sent multiple Ambia at one time, such
as when
as a young enter time, yeah. Hi Ali salaam, salaam Zakaria, Allah
Sinha Musa al salaam Haruna Lisanna, Ibrahim Al Hassan, luta
Alyssa and sometimes there were multiple center bunnies, right?
They needed the most.
And you know what they did to some of them? They kill them. Okay,
this is the people we are dealing with today. ancestors, that's what
their ancestors were, this is what we get. Okay.
So
what about
we know Allah says rasool Allah SallAllahu Sallam has caught them
in the beginning, normal prophets are going to come. So en la de
already been 1400 years. We don't know when the day of judgment is
going to be up nations going to go astray between then and now.
They've already gone astray.
So what is the arrangement for rectification of human beings now?
This job has been given to the owner of Rasulullah sallallahu
Sallam as the final messenger because there's no more Nabil
that's going to come
I hope you hear this clearly. Whose job is it?
US don't say Omarosa isn't my job. Okay, don't make it third you
know, oh Ma.
This is very, very important to understand. Now, again, like with
everything else, there are rules.
There are requirements, there are principles, there are do's and
don'ts. Otherwise,
you give the surgical scalpel to somebody who doesn't know how to
use it, but are they going to do more harm than good?
Therefore, like everything else in our day
the our
Ilala has to be learned
to be able to do
so that's briefly the introduction to where we are.
So keeping that in mind let's start with the first idea and I
had just put it in this order
Allah subhanaw taala says all the we let him initiate on your regime
while the earth Nafi cool. Material Rasul.
Allah law which then a Bucha toggled for minha mon Had Allah wa
Amin Humann have fought I named him Bala. For see roofie Lord they
found guru K for carnality Betula Maka dB, this is from surah. An
eye on number 36. Last month, Allah says and indeed verily back
nuffic Cooley OMA 10 Rasulullah. We have sent among every nation
are also
see this is Allah's justice, he does not punish any nation he does
not destroy any nation till the message has been delivered to
them. So Allah subhanaw taala says, We have sent among every
nation Coonley OMA Rasul Allah and that book saying what an outward
Allah for which the Buddha would worship Allah and leave aside
taboo, taboo this all these forms of disbelief, distorted beliefs,
false worship.
Then he says, For men whom men had Allah and among those be
People who are given the message their blue some home Allah guides,
okay? And we know the story that most of the Gambia were rejected,
the majority always rejected. That's how it is. So it's not
always good to be in the majority. It's always good to be in the
minority.
But mean human comfort, Allahu Allah, Allah, and there are some
upon whom misguidance came because that is what they deserved. It's
not like Allah chooses randomly. Okay, I'm going to make this go
straight. It's what you bring to the table, how you receive the
message, according to that, Allah subhanaw taala produces the
results. So the same seed
of the best mango is put in one ground and it blossoms it gives
you the best fruit.
And the same seed is put in a barren ground and it dries up
nothing happens. So that's what happens
for C roofing or define guru Kapha Kanaka Tomoko Allah subhanaw taala
says, travel in the earth and see what was the end of those who
denied the messages.
So Allah Subhan Allah is telling us to be tourists on this earth,
but not tourists in our concept of tourism.
Eat Drink, have a good time.
Look at things when you look at the pyramids. When you look at Taj
Mahal, when you look at the ruins what does it do to you? What do
you learn what happened to these people? Okay, the lessons from
that not just selfies against it. Okay.
Wonder what was the might of this Pharaoh
and what is his end when you go to that museum?
Then when you see this dried piece of
whatever it is, that unlock preserved for us,
what is the end of those who denied the message?
So here Allah subhanaw taala is telling us that Allah subhanaw
taala
made arrangements of guidance for every nation
and now in the current nations to come. What is the means of that
guidance? Since no Rasool is going to come? We are We are the
deputies of Rasulullah sallallahu is
in the next idea
from Surah azab Allah subhanaw taala says yeah are you hon Nabi
in our cell Narco Shah he don't want my shit on when the draw what
Dalian in Allah He be evening he was Sirajul monniera
Yah yah NaVi
This is
an intimate way of calling Rasulullah Salallahu Salam. And in
the Quran, Allah subhanaw taala says yeah, Ibrahim, ja isa yeah
Musa Yeah, Zachary Yano, every prophet is called by the name
in the entire Quran. He never says Dr. Muhammad
Yeah, you heard Rasool Yeah. Johan NaVi. Yeah, you had Muslim Melia.
You will who
calls him by a laka because it's more honorable. So this is one of
the scholars have said that Allah subhanaw taala even though the
name Muhammad Sallallahu Sallam comes in ayat, but Allah never
addressed Dr. Muhammad. So Allah smart Allah says because it's
small into you and nippy in arson naka shaido MOBA, Shinwa Nadira
indeed We have sent you as a shy hit, which means as a witness over
all mankind
what does that mean?
What does that mean?
Everyone that's going to come. Who denied this message. Rasool Allah
salAllahu Alaihe Salam will be called on the Day of Judgment.
Did you convey a lot already knows Did you convey the message to
these people?
Allah Allah knows the answer
to Allah is conveyed the message
that's why at the hospital without What did he say?
He said, asked he said Have I conveyed the message to you?
Cut baluchari Salah This is what dental Amana when NASA uma
Ajanta Fila hubco jihadi he said the people said then you said
y'all Allahu Masha, Allah you are the witness that they are
witnessing that I have conveyed the message I've completed.
So he will be called Now if somebody is Rasul allah sallallahu
Sallam is called as a witness against somebody or some nation
What's gonna happen to that nation on the Day of Judgment?
Its destruction.
One day, I saw the Los Angeles alum
came to, I believe it's Abdullah Masada. The Alon said, read the
Quran to me. It said Yara surah Allah, how can I recite the Quran
to you when the Quran was authentic down to you? So no, I
like to hear it. So he started reciting from Surah Nisa
and Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi salam is listening to him till he
came to this idea
where the meaning of witches and from every nation, we will call a
witness because no lesson I'm going to call that a witness
again. And we will call you as a witness and help against this
Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi salam said,
husband, stop.
Mince his heart couldn't take just that thought. And then Abdullah
Abdullah Massoud said, I looked up and he was weeping, weeping at the
thought that I'll be called as a witness against my own people,
which is the Quraysh and all those who rejected it.
Okay, so Allah says we've sent you as a as a showerhead
or Mubasher giving you glad tidings for people who obey who
accept the message you've worked hard on, on on
applying that message in their lives and Bashara off glad tidings
of Jana and Allah's radar, His pleasure and a beautiful life in
this dunya and in the in the grave, and in the yovel PMR in the
Accra,
one of the era and if you reject his award
Allah uses both, you know, as they say, in today's language, the
carrot and the stick for some is giving the carrots good Beshara ya
allah Jana is water. You don't accept it, you want punishment, we
will offer you punishment.
With that, Ian Illa now it comes to no one who invites to Allah.
Again, that's what we're talking about. One of the main functions
the main roles of Rasulullah sallallahu Lisanna. Is the UN Illa
Allah be eaten up by the permission of Allah? Wa Siracha
muneera.
What is the Suraj? The sun, the example the mythologies given of
the sun that illuminates? Why is he called the sun? Why, why is the
sun? I can't say that the comparison of the sun because the
sun is nothing comparison to Rasulullah sallallahu.
But what does the sun do in our experience? The sun brings light.
It dispels darkness. So Rasulullah Salallahu Salam dispels the
spiritual darkness which is the ultimate darkness.
It warms people It benefits people that Sun doesn't discriminate
Whether you believe or disbelieve. It benefits everybody and it
produces life if there is no sunlight
or life will come to an end. So Rasool allah sallallahu alayhi
salam is coming is like that one that gives life spiritual life to
call.
If somebody doesn't want to accept, it's a different thing.
So the lesson there is,
I am the Deputy of Siena Molana Rasulullah sallallahu sallam.
Do I reflect some of that light in my life? People who encounter me,
are they illuminated? Are they benefited? Do they get a clear
message of Islam?
Do I have that in me to want good for others?
Otherwise, I'm just his almighty and his deputy in name.
So it puts the onus of responsibility on each one in
their own circles.
That Bashara should first come to me, the Bashara of obedience and
Iman, Iman among solid, that Bashar I should want that. And I
shouldn't be scared more than anybody else more than the kuffar
more than frown I should be scared.
There is the Janna there is a chance
now the best of human beings after the MBA was who according to our
scholars
one person sad
for you
When he saw birds sitting in the garden, he said, I wish I were
like you
because you have no fear of his app.
He said in another narration, I wish I was the hair on the body of
a movement. In other words, he has he is who he is, and yet he is
afraid of gender.
The second deputy about whom Rasulullah sallallahu sallam said
if there was going to be a Nebby, after me, it would be who? Magna
Carta.
He said,
If on the Day of Judgment, Allah subhanaw taala says, everyone can
go into Jannah except one person, I'd be afraid that one is going to
meet me.
And then he said, if on the Day of Judgment, Allah says everyone will
go to Jana and then we were who can go to Janna I have hope it
will be me. You have to have them. In other words, we don't have to
be confident to the level that okay, we are believers.
Get Jana is guaranteed inshallah it is but let's work towards it.
The next idea is from surah Majda 67. Allah subhanaw taala says
again
last time I said, Yeah, you have nubby here, you said yeah, uh, you
have Rasul Belinda, Uzi la la cama Rebecca Ilam tough and firmer, but
laughter risulta wala Yeah, Similkameen a nurse in Allah Allah
Dil Komal. kashering Yeah, you have a soon. Oh my dear messenger.
Been live mountain Zilla la cama Rebecca, convey, who live convey
the message, the rissalah that has come to you on Zillow, Ilica Mira
from your Rob
and then Allah Swan not that he was not going to do it. But this
applies just if you think of it more for us in lambda, and if you
don't do that, then you have firmer baluchari salata, then you
have not conveyed his message.
Of course, Rasulullah sallallahu sallam was going to do it? But
what does it imply? That your followers may not do it, and if
they don't,
then they have not conveyed the message they have left the
message. Okay? That is like some of our scholars give the example.
In some of those movies like you know, treasures of the last
distant that there is a cave in which there is sort of
unbelievable amount of treasures that people want to go at the
entrance of the cave, there is a snake sitting there
who doesn't allow anybody to go into benefit from within the cave,
and himself doesn't benefit from it. So person who takes the
message, keeps it to themselves doesn't allow it to be spread or
or shared. It's like that
not benefiting themselves not letting anybody else benefit. So
Allah said if you have if you do not, then you have not
conveyed that message. You have not fulfilled that
mission. Wala ja Similkameen a nurse and this is the idea after
which rasool Allah salAllahu Alaihe Salam removed his guards.
So you know, alira Delano used to have you know, there is a certain
there we are the, the resting place of Rasulullah sallallahu
alayhi salam, where Sedna alira The alarm used to sit standard the
guard
and when this idea came, Rasulullah sallallahu sallam said
no more guards for me, because Allah says Allah will protect you
from NAS NAS means all mankind. In Allahu Allah del Carmen carefree
and again,
it ends by saying, Allah doesn't guide the people who are careful
who denied the message. Yet he is saying Allah saying in the
beginning, convey the message and then says Allah doesn't. In other
words, your job is to convey the message, whether they accept or
whether that's up to them. So don't lose heart because they are
not accepting it. Allah does not guide people who will not accept
the message that's not Allah in a way. It's a constellation that
it's not your fault. You know, you're not
missing out on something that people are not listening. Okay, so
here's
the next Surah Nan.
Allah subhanaw taala now tells the prophets of Allah the Salah, of
what to convey first, that was the general message convey the
message.
Although Isla Seville Europe became a bit Hekmati well mer
either by now either
center, Raja Raja de lune bility. Here is an interrupt Baca who
animo, Beeman Golan surreally who Allah mu Bill mustard in
Allah Samantha, listen for the rule give Dawa for the O Allah
civilian a beggar to the path of your Lord Sabine.
Now there is no description of this path. It doesn't say call to
Tauheed it doesn't say call to Salah it doesn't say call to gold
o'clock call to good dealings with each other call to justice doesn't
last severely Rebecca to the path of your Lord. That's it.
So,
our beloved scholar,
Ali Hassan, Natalie, from Lucknow, Rama Talalay
say said about this idea, he said the word Sabine of versus Sabina,
Rebecca encompasses everything that's why Allah has not specified
because that path is all of that calling to 13 the correct email
all the duties to Allah subhanaw taala all the the interactions
with people is all covered in this one word. This is the eloquence
and elegance of the Quran.
The part of your Lord called to the summit of your Lord.
Then Allah qualified, Sabine.
also addressed to the Prophet Yes. So the O
is second person singular, it's a command. So second person, ALLAH
is commanding, singular.
Again, it starts there, but then it filters down to us as it was
not just for that time the Quran is eternal. So now when I read it,
this is a message for me. I have to do it.
Oh, Isla Seville, Arabica, then Allah qualifies, Bill Hikmah use
wisdom.
That's very, very important. And we'll talk about what that wisdom
while more either till Hasina and give beautiful
movie that is preaching, make people understand what java lang
bility here is and and if you argue if you use the GDL argument
or debate, do it in a beautiful way, don't do it. To win an
argument. Don't do it to put somebody down. Allah says do it
with with beauty with with elegance with wisdom so that a
person doesn't feel you know, defeated. You know, I, like you
know, we have sometimes we have many recordings of debates between
Muslims and this is not about debates, it's about conveying the
message. Okay? So that's what Allah subhanaw taala says
interrupt Bucha who Allah mu, the mandala and severely and indeed
your love Rob knows one who has gone astray from unsavoury from
his path. Well, who are Allah will motivate him and Allah knows the
ones who are guided. And again, there is only two response. Either
you're guided or you have gone astray. And somewhere close astray
but not as bad as astray is one who is
cautious. I don't care. That's also going to stream because he's
not benefiting from the message. Okay.
So Allah says he is aware of what's going to happen.
And then next is from Surah Yusuf, we've covered it before towards
the end of Surah Yusuf again
ALLAH is commanding Rasul Allah because it starts with
everything that starts with Paul is a command to second person will
singular which is also
called say to them, what has the he sabe Li, this is my path.
Seville Rebecca same Hi Lisa V Lee. This is my path. Okay. What
is my path?
At the row? Illa Allah Oh Allah, Allah He, I invite to Allah that
is
at
the hour, I give dower Illa Allah, Allah bossy, rotten with insight
with knowledge. I'm not just some random person ignorant. What I
don't know what I'm inviting to.
Now the comes in Anna hissing say you were manette Manitoba I need
and all those who do my Theva which is all you and me.
Anybody who's rasool Allah Ma says
I shall go now Maga rasool Allah is supposed to be in etbr
Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi salam, Pa which is obedience etbr
is to following. So Allah subhanaw taala monitor burning, man is open
everyone male and female child, old, anyone,
turbine whoever does mighty ba This is his path and what is his
path he will invite to Allah.
Allah Busey, written with wisdom with foresight with knowledge
was Subhan Allah and Glory be to Allah Allah is glorified above all
that debt and why do you need to invite because people add to Allah
subhanaw taala which they have no authority such as adding partners
to it. Okay, so Allah Swanton was to Han Allah and Allah is
glorified above all that they attributed the worship and take as
partners
were ma nominal Mushrikeen and telling us what allah sallallahu
sallam said to them that you are saying to them, I am not from the
Mushrikeen I am wash it. I am a person of Tawheed I am like my
father Ibrahim.
Okay. So this is IRA which clearly states for us that the messenger
ship the conveying a message did not finish with Rasulullah
sallallahu alayhi salam
and now Amanita Bonny me and those who do mighty
Is that clear
next is sorta an ad
and now how that sorority was stepping foot who who will attack
who soon
one at a time it also Bella Fatah raka bacon and severely dally con
was Sercombe La La Quinta taco
under her sorority the word Surat in Seville are similar
some slight technical differences about size and this and that
had this is Allah smart Allah say indeed this is my path was the
pain was that it was okay that we
that straight path as we say fuck that they are oh who do etbr Have
the straight path means walk on the stage it is not enough to know
the straight path and that's the another level of accountability
where you can't even plead ignorance that I didn't know
if you know the straight path you are you have to walk on it okay.
Allah subhanaw taala does not make promises for knowing he makes all
of his promises for Ramadan for acting on that knowledge
and then Allah Samantha so again Sarathi is my path was stuck in
this again it's a singular path. Sabine, singular, plural would be
suitable means there are multiple paths. Okay.
So
first, who will follow this path wallet? Wallet? Who super super
don't follow other paths? Okay, what is he telling you there is
only one correct path and that is what we have to understand when we
have some of these interfaith meetings and today with the
perennialism everything goes you know, we are all good. No, we are
not always 10 is one truth. Can you be you're okay you're okay you
know, we are interfaith.
Let everybody do their own thing. Yes, let everybody do their own
thing. But don't say that everybody's got the same end.
Because Allah says, Allah azza wa jal, Sula, Fatah Farah Kabir calm,
which separate you unsavoury Lee from his path. Again, it started
with Surat and that's the word Sabine. So V is that has come in
the same way. So Allah saying if you follow other paths, it will
take you away from that one path.
There Lika Masako, and this is what Allah has ordained for you
was Sercombe Lala Contacta consumer you have become people of
Taqwa of God consciousness. Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi salam
used to sometimes give you visuals, okay? Not just words. So
one day he took a stick, and he drew a line in the sand. And then
he drew some cross hatched lines like this. And he said, This is my
path. I said it was the game this is my sob. All of these paths if
You take any of these cross, detours at the end of every one,
there is a shelter. In other words you have gone astray
and then you decide to decide.
So, in other words,
Allah has made only one path to him.
Only one can
never be confused about this.
Then Allah subhanaw taala praises those who fulfill this duty of Tao
by praising them by saying woman axonal cola medmen Da Il Allahu La
sala home makalah in any minute Muslim, Allah says, He asks a
question, and whose word is better than one? Who calls towards? In
other words, nobody's word The answer is no one's word is better
than the word of the day illa Allah.
When my son who is more beautiful in their words, then the one who
calls in Allah
and then he qualifies the qualities of this color
wahama lasagna and he's not just a color, he is implementing his call
in his own actions, he is doing a masala which is walking on that
path towards which is calling
Amal sada what is Amal salad? What Allah loves, and is pleased with
what he has ordered. What is the Sunnah of Rasulullah sallallahu
Sallam done in the footsteps of Rasulullah Salallahu Alaihe Salam
as he did with the intention of pleasing Allah only that's among
Salah you could just done with another intention is not Amazon,
if it is done. Contrary, contrary to the Sunnah of Rasulullah
sallallahu. It is not Amazon, let's call it beta. I will do
something more. Magram has three three raka I want to do more I'm
going to do for if you do for you have gone astray.
Okay, so don't use your logic to say okay, more is better. Do what
you're told to do. So Allah qualifies the best words of words
of the day.
And he sort of
not just words, but he shows people by his actions, that he is
walking the path that he is a practicing Muslim makalah in any
mineral Muslim, and then he is humble enough to say, I'm just an
ordinary Muslim.
I'm just he's not arrogant. No, I'm giving Dawa. I'm better than
everybody else.
Okay, Allah international Muslim, because he even there he is afraid
even though he is doing good deeds, he's saying the best word
is still afraid. I'm like an ordinary Muslim. Humility
next to Surah Al Imran.
Now some people have said, is this Dawa, what is called for dine
which means an obligation for everyone?
Like salah, or is it a fault key fire, which means as long as some
people are doing it, it is sufficient.
For example,
Salah to join Jenessa
is the first what
Keifa some people attended sufficient. If nobody attended,
then it's a sin for everybody.
But if enough people attended it, it is sufficient for
so little Fajr is the spark key fire for Dine, fall day. Everyone
has that obligation.
Even though the sunrise is at 505. You have to get up before that.
Even if you slept at one o'clock because you're watching whatever
you have to get, because it's followed by.
So
our scholars have said, if you have the knowledge
and you're living in an environment where there aren't
sufficient people to convey the message or you're living in a time
where there is a lot of evil, then it becomes 49 for everybody.
But if you are in an environment where plenty of people are doing
now and the message is spreading, then it becomes a filthy fire.
And the time of Rasulullah Salallahu Alaihe Salam Allah
subhanaw taala revealed the silence when Alebrije while
coming to India, the owner Elan Hi, Marina, Bill Maru fairway and
Han Han and monka Willa Rika. Humble flatiron, Walter Commencal
Ahmed lead there arise some people out of you
let's not say all of you some men come from him
yeah the owner in health care who invite who do the work of Dawa
towards higher. But yeah Morona Bill Morrow for enjoin good and
forbid evil.
But we like
and these are people who are in a state of fala they're successful.
So as I was mentioning, the rewards of it,
if this these are people who are on the muffler,
I'd like to do it even if it may be faulty fire
because I want to be among the successful but this is proof that
in certain circumstances, it can be for the key fire it is not for
the iron in all situations.
Then Allah subhanaw taala again, honors the Ummah
to fire mutton rigidly NASDAQ Morona Bill maruf, Everton hound
anil munkar but to Winona Villa
unless one policies from the EU are the best of nation, the OMA
are sort of Lhasa Madison who's giving this title Allah swimathon.
Now you can say good, I'm all set. No, it is conditional what comes
after Quinton Clara on Martin Lin Oak Ridge bottlenose why? Because
you have been taken out for mankind for the benefit of
mankind. Not just by a label.
What is your your duty? What do you do Morona build models you
enjoy what is good and the ultimate of what is good is to
call people to the worship of Allah.
And to everything that Islam teaches the sharing of Islam,
to the morality of Islam, to the clock of Islam
interpersonal relationships,
how to bring up children, how to respect the elders, how to be
guests how to be hosts, like Abraham and s&m business dealings,
all aspects of it, who called towards what's my roof? But then
how Nonnenmacher and they don't just look away if if something
wrong is being done, nothing to do with walk away? No, your job is
either to stop it with your hand or with your turn. Or at least if
you don't have those this level of demand is to feel badly that this
is wrong mean that you cannot be indifferent to wrong that is being
okay, such as what is happening today in Philistine
so
I can do anything about it.
It's been a long time I've burnt out.
Let it continue. No,
doesn't it
but took me no Nabila.
You may have you have to have that basic belief in Allah subhanaw
taala. So belief in joining good, forbidding evil.
If you have the belief,
you are calling people to that belief. If you're doing good,
you're calling people. If you're doing wrong, you first correct
yourself then you stop others. Because if I'm doing wrong, if I'm
lying, then I can structure you innovation lie. If I'm cheating, I
can tell you you can cheat. So it comes from my own practice.
Otherwise my words are empty and I'm a hypocrite. And Allah will
hold me accountable.
Limit Hakuna
Matata. Listen, why do you say what you do not do Kabara Mactan
in the lion, hakuna matata.
It is a great sin in the sight of Allah
that you say something that you do not do. So one requirement for
believer is to be practicing.
In all aspects our deen is complete. It's not just sir. It's
not just good conduct. It's not just correct business. Every
aspect.
Then if we meet that criteria, if we have Eman in Allah subhanaw
taala imagine the outcry man in the angels, the seven or six
articles of pillars of Eman in the true sense and it shows in our
life it shows in our armor in our class, all of that. Then, and we
are calling people to the truth and we are stopping evil and we
are
Calling to good then we are fair.
That is the qualification. Okay.
So it's not just, you know, I'm born Muslim, I'm in America. And
we know is our people from this Omar going to go to hellfire?
Yes, some people will go, but not permanently because that is the
blessing of a shadow
no matter how evil but who wants to go there for a period of time.
So, Carol Martin, this is something to reflect on.
Allah has honored me to be part of this.
I was born in India, I could have been worshipping garnishes and
whatever else that they have
what was so special about me that I was not idol worship among the
majority
Alaska, Alaska
So, if Allah has done such a great favor of including me in the best
of Omaha, and that's a great reason. With every honor comes
responsibility. We have to fulfill that responsibility.
And then in the last two aisles I think that we have that we chose
for today
is Allah subhanaw taala telling us
he's told us what to convey what to invite to what to stop what not
to stop, how to do it methodology in a simple way. And last one the
lessons for the Marathi min Allah Hi, Linda Lang, welcome to Fadden
Valley, the Colombian food domain how lick five one was stuck.
FedLoan was sha
Allah Subhana Allah says for for Beamer, Rama team in Allah and it
is out of the Mercy of Allah.
Ling tele home talam legging is gentle that you were gentle with
the people.
In other words, the day is to be gentle. He's not aggressive. He's
not insulting. He's not loud, you know? Because our job is conveying
the message Our job is not converting people.
And that I will also I think we have that also. Allah subhanaw
taala tells us
so Allah saying it is by the mercy that this is again a manifestation
of Allah's mercy that he made Rasulullah sallallahu Sallam so
gentle and caring. Allah subhanaw taala says all Prophet sallallahu
alayhi salam, that you have been gentle and lenient, and you dealt
with them gently,
had you been
further than a believer? If you had been severe or hard, harsh,
harsh, because the environment that he came in, people were like
that, it was the opposite. They were very tough people, I mean,
just killing and this and that, hard hearted people
in that environment, Allah puts you know, in among the rocks, it
was a flower.
So, if you had been like that, they would have certainly
scattered away run away from you and abandon you. So what was so
magnetic about Rasulullah Salah that everybody
is Mannerism is a flock.
Safwan then Allah Santana says, they may be rough then I do bad
things, forgive them, forgive them. Imagine this is coming down.
After 12 years this rally and run which was revealed within
revealed after the battle, after all the persecution after battle
of butter after battle of
assassination attempts ridicule, killing all of that last month,
Alison FAFEN
what does it teach us? Sometimes somebody says one harsh word and
they're enemies for life.
I will never forgive. I will not forgive till my last breath and
then we will law II.
Yes, have you heard that? We've heard this in the masjid.
It should go. Forgive. We are human beings. We make mistake I
make mistake I commit sins. I may violate your rights. If I may do
it repeatedly forgive again.
If Allah didn't forgive us,
if Allah held us accountable if Allah stuck to justice only
Allah says he will end up
Quran says I would not leave a living creature on the earth. That
would be Allah justice. But wow, one Kathy, and he forgives
abundantly Kathy. So what should we do?
Often, Kathy, whoever wrongs you may feel bad after you get over
that emotional thing, forgive, move on.
And sometimes it's good to if you think you've somebody has wronged
and Allah makes them realize that settle the account. Yes, hello.
I was having a bad day. I did wrong, my bad. Forgive me. That's
all that's all it takes. And be sincere about it.
And the other person should also be more humble. About time you ask
for forgiveness. No, don't worry about it. Rather, I forgive you
without us. humbled because we are brothers in Islam.
Okay.
Our deen is so beautiful if we knew and practice the teachings of
this thing
and that's why, just for you,
that's people.
That's Allah loves. Allah is forgiving loves people who forget.
One of the Hadith says that those who forgive people will, Allah
will forgive them on the dirt.
Okay.
And then Allah subhanaw taala gives us another example of how to
give dower these this idea was addressed to Musa alayhis salam
and Haruna Salah when when they were being deputized to go to a
man who said
I am god frown, who is the the epitome of the worst of creatures
around
now Allah sending them Musa alayhis salam is already scared so
yeah, how are ya Allah? My tongue is a little hesitant I've got a
little thing and you know I have already killed somebody is going
to kill me. Send me. Harun is more eloquent than me. So you both go.
But go how
Akula Allahu Kallen Lee in
the two of you when you go talk to him in a gentle way, talk to Iran
in a gentle way, Colin lay in the most soft of speech,
let alone get the deco Yasha perhaps and Allah already knows
what the result is going to be. But it's for teaching us perhaps
he might think
and he might become afraid of Allah. That Allah knows that's not
going to happen because the end is already known to Allah. Yet it is
a lesson for us that even when you are calling to people such as
around
our clock doesn't change regardless of who is across from
us. Everybody can be gently with somebody who's gently sitting in
front of Dr. Bossy How can you not be gently
right
now
somebody opposite of sitting who's harsh and this and that, you still
have to be gentle otherwise there's no difference
so what is the responsibility? Is the clear deliverance of the
message we are not held accountable Allah will not ask Why
didn't so and so accept Islam at your hand?
Okay, Allah smart Allah says in Surah Noor a to Allah or to Rasul
for interval for in nama li Muhammad Allah Allah Kuma ko
Meltem into 22 to hooter do. Ramallah was willing to learn
Bilawal movie,
Allah subhanaw taala says again addressing Rasulullah sallallahu
Tsen call say to them, or to Allah obey Allah wa to Rasool, in other
words, obey the messenger me obey me for interval, but if they turn
away for in nama Alayhi Maha melden their burden is with them.
While I lay Kuma home and I'm on you, those who are calling towards
that. It's your responsibility is yours. If they turn away that
their response that's their responsibility
for you is your responsibility into Tiru data and if you obey
Him, to do you will be greatly guided wama Allah rasool Allah al
Bilawal movie and it is not the responsibility of Rasul Allah
salah, except, beloved movie in Berlin will be clear deliverance
of the message. That's his only responsibility whether you accept
or whether you reject. So unless mantle is telling us that our
responsibility is
biller will mean, it should not be a message that has been
compromised. It's not a message This is politically correct. We
have a clear message
if you're calling to toffee
and you're calling a Christian or somebody so yeah, you are also
people have to hit you know, you may say three but you know, we
know you know, clear, okay you cannot compromise the message.
Give your message. You don't have to trash what they believe, give
you a message, put it out there, how can Bartylla clear furniture
and then the results of whether somebody will accept Islam or not,
is not in your hand. Why? Because Allah said to Rasulullah
sallallahu in Nicoletta Dima nabta Indeed you in Nica you Muhammad
sallallahu alayhi salam best of humankind Salah lawless, you
cannot guide whom you love
Abu Talib, whom you love, you cannot guide him
in Nicola tehidy Min habita, whom you love so much. Wala can Allah
yah Dima? Yes, only Allah what it is Allah who guides whom He wants,
but who are Allah mu Bill moto Dean, and he is the one who knows
those who are guided. So that's the last idea that I wanted to
cover.
So we've given
an overview
of what Dawa is the virtues of Tao, as we said, Allah says, No
one's words are better. The OMA that fulfills this is the best of
Omar. And that Rasul Allah Subhan. Allah listen tells us that whoever
guide somebody to goodness or to fair will get the reward of all
the actions of that person.
So suppose in your life, five people accepted Islam
on the Day of Judgment,
when Allah gives you credit, for you know, 20, Hajj Ya Allah, I
only went there once. Where are these? There is some, you know,
error in accountability? No, you remember so and so.
He went for Hajj, and he gave Islam to his three children, they
all did Hajj. So in that family they were for Hajj over counted
giving you the equal reward and so and so. So people of Dawa will
come because we can only do so many, amen. But this is the that
pyramidal system, you know, that you've got so many people doing
things, they're working for you. They're your employees. Now.
Every salad that they do, every circuit that they give is also
Allah doesn't reduce any because Allah has no shortage of
illustration, he gives them the reward, he gives you equal reward
because Allah and this also from Allah, that he used you to guide
said that occasion of the Battle of Hiber
where the Jewish tribes who had betrayed the pact with Rasul
Allah, Islam, at the time of hunt, duck, 60 year of Asia, they went
and sort of sought refuge in Hiber on the fourth fiber which is about
150 160 miles north of, of Medina Surah Surah, allah sallallahu
Sallam decided that enough is enough. So the army went and they
were in this one there are multiple fortresses but this big
one fortress most of them had collected in there. And so you
know, backer or the Alana was given a surah Allah Allah Allah
Islam was there take you know, go on assault and see so two days he
tried, he couldn't break down before it condenses condenser.
Then in some narration said that Syedna hamara the Alana was given
the command
and he tried he couldn't clear but was very well fortified. Now you
can go everywhere in Saudi Arabia you can travel so next time you go
take a trip to heaven see the force of high value.
None Rasul allah sallallahu sallam said, he said
Tomorrow I'm going to give the flag
to one
in Whose Hand Allah will
open
not everybody's hoping.
Everybody's waiting next morning comes. And also Allah Allah
Listen, God this is ready to give the DARIAH the the banner of Islam
for the leader and his everybody's raising. You can imagine reasoning
yada yada sort of choose me choose me because then he says I know
where
bizarrely Ya Rasulullah he is sick he's got some problems with the
eyes sounds like conjunctivitis type of thing. But he can barely
open his eyes.
He's brought in you
can barely across, takes his saliva wipes over his eyes and it
says the Hadith It was as if nothing had happened. Then cresol
Rasul Allah gives them that I have the flag, Holly will conquer.
Allah said, Ya rasool Allah, I will go and I will destroy this.
But there's also will
be patient
when you face them.
First invite them to
invite them to Allah subhanaw taala. Invite them to Salah to
what it means to be a Muslim.
And then he took in other words, don't be there to conquer first
invite them and then he said, If Allah guides one person through
you, yeah, I think it is better than you then all the red camels
red camels were the prized possession of the Arabs. In other
words, it's more valuable to you than any of the luxuries and
things of this one person.
That tells you how important that is.
Virtues and there are many other virtues for peace status. We've
already talked about uniform back and forth key via different
situation, the call of the Dawa that we are calling towards the
leader of Allah subhanaw taala that is the objective conveyed
this message that there is one God there is one then there is one
path. We don't go into details. You can't have this you don't do
this, this. No
rasool Allah SallAllahu Sallam gave instructions to morph in
Java, you are going to the people of the book when you are going to
Yemen, call them to the head of Allah subhanaw taala if they
accept that, then tell them Allah has made five Celeste found on
you. If they accept that then tell them that Allah has put a zakat
for your wealthy people to take and to be distributed. Take it
from them and give it to their poor. that's it nothing more.
Don't don't drink don't do this happened towards the end of the
number one this is where we take all of our Hadith Omar has been
juggle being sent to the people of Yemen. So we call towards that.
Don't get into sometime people you know, when you're talking to
people, they want to get into details of why the hijab? Why
this? Why not pork join minster arguing into that, especially they
want to just bring it, try and bring them to this. So that's a
secondary issue.
Where women are oppressed in Islam,
my Lord is just why would he allow you not bring him to Allah. So use
your wisdom don't get caught up in
the most important is the characteristics and condition the
requirement of the dye is the person who is calling. And that is
your character. And, again, just in the interest of time,
Whoever accepts this duty to convey the message. You know, it's
very clear from the Quran and Sunnah that we should be true
living breathing examples of Islam in our lives, that the person
should see Islam, because Allah has put such attraction in the
true practice of Islam, that that is the best of Dawa more than any
other words that you can see that sometimes you have to say a few
things you say that. And that has to show in all of our private
conduct proper public transactions, dealings with
Muslims or non Muslims. You know, we don't take the position of some
of the people of the book that dealing with believers as one and
dealing with the non believers in a different way. No, we really
believe we deal with them justly in every way.
So we must have that noble o'clock that Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi
salam,
when Nicola Allahu lopinavir him you have to be truthful, you have
to be trustworthy, you have to be generous, you have to be kind, you
have to be merciful. You have to be caring, all of those beautiful
o'clock noble we should have in us as a caller to Allah subhanaw
taala as it said, hola Coco Al Quran that is what that we should
be living examples of the Quran like Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi
salam
number two Dawa will require sacrifice requires you know, time
and effort and all of that of your time and you should never expect
anything in return. Because this is what the NBR told us and local
Malaya mean adjourn in Nigeria Allah Allah, Allah
Amir used to tell the nation's they want we don't want any
thing from you we don't want recognition we don't want
compensation or other is a loss. We are doing this purely for your
benefit.
Knowledge as we've already said, you have to have sound knowledge
because ignorant person cannot invite to the right thing.
And I love zero 10 We've already said kindness and gentleness. It
can be harsh. We've talked about those Iots that Allah mentioned
even to the Quran. One time more person came in, he addressed one
of the Khalifa has a very harsh tone.
And he said to him again he said to him
You are not better than Musa
and I'm not worse than Pharaoh.
And when Allah said Musa to Iran he asked in return gently in other
words talked gently.
So mildness, gentleness as Rasulullah sallallahu Sallam
Santos, who said Salallahu Salam, that one deprived of gentleness is
deprived of all good. And that whenever gentleness is added to
anything, it makes it more beautiful.
Wisdom and hikma? No, this is a big topic. This is a topic in
itself. What is wisdom?
Generally speaking,
what to say? When to say how much to say, when to stop reading the
language, body language.
Knowing the time is the right time. Now you're walking with
somebody in the middle of the mall, you're not going to talk
about as I will cover
in Johanna, that's the wrong place. Wrong time. Okay, so proper
place, proper time. And don't try and give the whole injection that
was supposed to be given in 30 days, one day.
I don't know if this guy I'm going to catch him again. Let me give
him the full dose. Okay, know
how much this is wisdom.
Allah says call with wisdom. And again, always assess benefit if
this person receptive or not, is this person, I'm not getting into
an argument, then I withdraw.
If I'm finding hostility this one the time
because I don't want to cause more harm.
I don't want to say something that person insults Allah subhanaw
Balinese message. So I stopped before that sometimes you have to
be careful. Even when Muslim sometimes the so called different
levels of Muslims.
I have had to pause many times, sometimes with family members
because I know if I say something more, what's going to come out of
their mouth is almost the level of comfort. And you don't want to
push somebody to that point, especially if you know because
some people are impulsive. They get into this and they'll say
something. For example, you're talking about sooner? Well, I
don't guess it's a Sunday. I'm not you know, it's not a fun. It's not
golfer
so you don't push people to that level. That's wisdom, patience in
the face of rejection, denial, ridicule, and also patients that
will I'm giving such beautiful data. Why isn't this person
accepting Islam? Why isn't the shahada coming? That's not your
job, patient, the person that we give Shall I may give some time to
convey to give shahada and Ramadan to people who have never seen
democratic of mine. He may have dealt with many people who was,
you know, this is going to go I'm just the one who makes the person
repeat it, that's all.
When the time is right, that shahada will come if it is written
for them, as Allah says if he chooses
how do you expect somebody who's grown in one faith suddenly that I
have given five minutes of dark that it should be a faith changing
experience for this person? That's what they grew up with.
Give them time be patient, how many times you do a sudo masala
Listen Go to Abuja * with the same message.
Okay, patients
in one surah Allah subhanaw taala told Rasulullah sallallahu whether
we show you how masala Salam part of what we have promised them or
cause you to die Your duty is only to convey the message and on us is
that okay? In other words, you may not even see the results of what
you think. However those results will come. Someone you talk to
today you die and you're gone. Five years later, that person not
thinks about it and
you are not shown reason Rasulullah sallallahu Sallam did
not live to see Islam spread all beyond the
Arabian Peninsula beyond dangers, okay.
And another quality the ability to communicate effectively the clear
deliverance. It should be in a language
Step people understand our last one Allah says, and nama Allah
rasool Allah, Allah will Mubin you know, for ma sunnah min Rosalyn
Illa Bill discerning kami. Allah did not send messengers except in
the language of the people, teach people so that they can
understand.
eloquence is the simplest words that clearly deliver the message.
We're not trying to impress people with big words and this and poetry
and this clear, it's understood. That's what true, eloquent says,
the prophets of Allah and Islam was given as a blessing from
Allah, what's called Joe Amira al Kalam means in a few words is to
convey oceans of knowledge. So
and again, keep the objective foremost clear conveyance, verse
of the message versus conversion or reversal. That is not our job.
Sometimes we are so enthusiast, cynical, cynical, man. You know,
sometimes you push person doesn't, I don't want to say.
And then when I'm not going to say what have you done?
That person said that.
Bring it to that point, when you leave it, you've put the seeds,
the seed germinate. Can you imagine if we were, you know,
gardeners, and we put the seed there, and then we're hammering on
it, putting more Come on, come on, come on, come on, come on, seat is
going to germinate that it's when it is written for it.
Just remember that.
So individually, we take every opportunity that Allah gives, if
you have the finger for people around you, that Allah will give
you the opportunity. And Allah will give you the lead in how to
lead into something. So it's not like I have become a salon owner.
Say I shall not lie that there is only one God. Get to know the
person, let them talk, find out things you know,
then only at the right moment, and you're thinking in your mind,
yeah, Allah find an opening for me to introduce blessings, one of the
best pure blessing is to remind them, you know, we are so blessed.
And nobody can deny we're so blessed.
God is so great. And nobody can argue with then you say, you know,
look at the blessing of this. Look at this, look at this, look at
this. You know, we have to be grateful.
So using wisdom, to
take every opportunity where there is an opportunity and
having concern for mankind
Surah Surah, Allah salAllahu Alaihe Salam, some of the earliest
revelations were Madatha and zamil. came in the early with
you with Dr. Comfort under command stand and one.
Go and two people. Yeah, you had Muzammil Camilla and luckily now
at night you stand so in the daytime his job was calling people
to Allah in the nighttime his job was the Allah, your guidance you
mercy for this people. So you are trying to make connection between
people and Allah.
That's why
now if somebody is sincerely calling to Allah subhanaw taala
and trying to live that life do you think Allah will not keep them
on the straight path? Allah will not guide
to this is one way of safeguarding your own day.
So may Allah subhanaw taala makers, true followers and etbr in
the footsteps of Rasulullah sallallaahu Salam who accept this
responsibility as deputies of Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi salam
so that when we meet him on the day of judgment, we can say we can
hold our heads up high, we're not seeing him like this. So ya rasool
Allah, I took your message to the best of my deficient abilities and
I did the best I could.
And then you will see
the beautiful smile of Russell
and with that, He will give you from the Kawartha you drink my
Inshallah, may Allah subhanaw taala makers, Diane Illa Allah be
in the history Raja manera in etbr Rasul Allah son Elias,
sha Allah we'll open it up for comments and questions and
anything else.
