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