00:00:03 --> 00:00:05
			According to one narration of the prophet, some
		
00:00:05 --> 00:00:06
			narrations
		
00:00:06 --> 00:00:08
			says, those who will be the most
		
00:00:08 --> 00:00:10
			conspicuous people on the day of judgment are
		
00:00:10 --> 00:00:11
			the Muadbins.
		
00:00:11 --> 00:00:13
			The ones who called out for adhan. Why?
		
00:00:14 --> 00:00:16
			When you say come to prayer, every single
		
00:00:16 --> 00:00:18
			person who comes to prayer, you get a
		
00:00:18 --> 00:00:20
			full reward of all the salahs that every
		
00:00:20 --> 00:00:22
			one of them have made. So
		
00:00:22 --> 00:00:23
			the hadith says
		
00:00:26 --> 00:00:28
			It's a long hadith. It says, if people
		
00:00:28 --> 00:00:31
			knew the value of the adhan, they would
		
00:00:31 --> 00:00:32
			literally draw lots,
		
00:00:33 --> 00:00:35
			fight with each other to make the adhan.
		
00:00:35 --> 00:00:39
			But today, Adhan, sometimes people say, oh, the
		
00:00:39 --> 00:00:39
			Mu'adhim.
		
00:00:40 --> 00:00:41
			And they look at him as though he's
		
00:00:41 --> 00:00:43
			one of the lowest in society.
		
00:00:46 --> 00:00:48
			But he will be the most conspicuous
		
00:00:49 --> 00:00:52
			because he called people towards the house of
		
00:00:52 --> 00:00:52
			Allah.
		
00:00:53 --> 00:00:56
			And Allah chose him for something very, very
		
00:00:56 --> 00:00:58
			important, and he has such a great reward.
		
00:00:58 --> 00:00:58
			So
		
00:00:59 --> 00:01:02
			sometimes we don't value things that are valued.
		
00:01:02 --> 00:01:03
			Have you ever come up to the imam
		
00:01:03 --> 00:01:04
			or the Mu'adin
		
00:01:05 --> 00:01:06
			or the people running a masjid and just
		
00:01:06 --> 00:01:07
			said, jazaakumullahqir.
		
00:01:08 --> 00:01:09
			May Allah reward you guys for the good
		
00:01:09 --> 00:01:11
			work you're doing? Salaam Alaikum. And you went
		
00:01:11 --> 00:01:12
			away.
		
00:01:12 --> 00:01:14
			What did you do? You encouraged them. If
		
00:01:14 --> 00:01:15
			that encouragement
		
00:01:15 --> 00:01:17
			made them do a little bit more or
		
00:01:17 --> 00:01:19
			made them happy, you were rewarded for it.
		
00:01:19 --> 00:01:22
			In fact, we only pick on errors today.
		
00:01:22 --> 00:01:24
			You know what you guys? You put too
		
00:01:24 --> 00:01:25
			many lights, you're wasting electricity.
		
00:01:26 --> 00:01:28
			You know what? There's no air condition. You
		
00:01:28 --> 00:01:29
			know what? There are too many this or
		
00:01:29 --> 00:01:31
			there's too many we just keep on picking
		
00:01:31 --> 00:01:33
			and picking and picking. So your name gets
		
00:01:33 --> 00:01:35
			written but on the wrong side. On the
		
00:01:35 --> 00:01:36
			wrong side, mashallah.
		
00:01:37 --> 00:01:39
			You really want? You can offer something. Don't
		
00:01:39 --> 00:01:41
			say that you did this and did that.
		
00:01:41 --> 00:01:43
			Say, look, I brought this inshallah, you guys.
		
00:01:43 --> 00:01:45
			If you if you feel, oh, I would
		
00:01:45 --> 00:01:47
			like to contribute in this way to solve
		
00:01:47 --> 00:01:49
			this problem and that that's the way we
		
00:01:49 --> 00:01:51
			should do things. May Allah Almighty continue to
		
00:01:51 --> 00:01:52
			use us to serve the deen. Every one
		
00:01:52 --> 00:01:54
			of us, all of us, you do not
		
00:01:54 --> 00:01:55
			have an excuse.
		
00:01:56 --> 00:01:58
			You have to call towards the deen of
		
00:01:58 --> 00:02:01
			Allah. It's part of your faith. You have
		
00:02:01 --> 00:02:03
			to. Even if you don't know much, at
		
00:02:03 --> 00:02:05
			least through your character, your smile will break
		
00:02:05 --> 00:02:06
			through the people's hearts.
		
00:02:08 --> 00:02:11
			May Allah Almighty really make us feel that.
		
00:02:11 --> 00:02:12
			And I know there are some who might
		
00:02:12 --> 00:02:14
			be sitting and thinking, well, you know, I
		
00:02:14 --> 00:02:16
			can't really call others. What do I know?
		
00:02:16 --> 00:02:16
			No.
		
00:02:16 --> 00:02:19
			Whatever you have whatever you have, you have
		
00:02:19 --> 00:02:20
			to share
		
00:02:20 --> 00:02:23
			it. You you cannot remain with goodness and
		
00:02:23 --> 00:02:24
			not share it.
