When someone comes to you and wants you
to wants to ask you and says, I
want to enter Islam. Don't waste time. In
5 minutes you must sort the matter out
because you don't know what's going to happen
after that and you don't have to wait
for another person because why give them the
honor of it? You let them declare shahada.
There was a man who came to me
with some people and said they want to
enter Islam. I said, I want I want
you to say the shahada for them because
you worked with them. Why should I take
the honor of all of that? He said,
Oh, I didn't think of that. On the
day of judgment, when someone has accepted Islam
on your hands, do you know every good
deed they ever did? You have a full
reward for all of those deeds. Subhanallah.
That's why they say it's almost like you're
going to get Jannah for free.
So let people come into Islam. Don't make
it difficult for them. And then the rest
of the teachings of Islam, one of the
most important teachings of Islam, once you declare
your shahada is to learn Tahara. Tahara is
cleanliness.
The other day they were selling me baby
soft tissues on the traffic lights. I show
you I'm sure you guys have seen this
in Zimbabwe at the traffic lights. They sell
you a big box, a big packet of
baby soft tissues. Have you seen that? The
traffic lights. I opened my window. I said,
He
said, my brother, I don't use this. I
use water.
He looked at me and he started laughing.
And I explained to him, you're selling me
tissue, but I use water.
Subhanallah.
Immediately he knew. Then when I passed again,
he looked at me and said,
You are the guy who uses water. I
said, Hey,
You know, so it's amazing because
one of the first teachings of Islam
is how to use the toilet and to
wash your backsides.
SubhanAllah, don't be ashamed of it. Talk about
it. It's a honorable teaching.
The world went to Qatar for World Cup.
They were mesmerized by a shataaf. Shataaf is
a little spray,
the little spray to wash a bum. Subhanallah,
we took it for granted. People changed their
lives because of that. I know people who
became
Muslims because of that little spray. I'm saying
I better talk about it more often in
my speeches.
We are shy.
The cleanest
of all of us. Who are they? They're
Muslimians. Subhanallah, Arabic
May Allah Almighty grant us ease and goodness.
You should be considering yourself honored to talk
about any teaching of Rasulullah sallallahu alaihi wasallam.
