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.
