One of the best of the Muslims
are those who call others towards Islam.
And you know, there are 2 main ways
of calling people towards Islam. 1 is,
by inviting them verbally. And the other is,
just through our character and conduct. If you
take a look at the Jawah,
and the region of Far East Asia. And
how Islam spread there to the degree that
today we have the most number of Muslims
on the globe concentrated in that region.
You will find that it's there through the
business people and the others who came. Their
character,
conduct and uprightness,
automatically invited people towards this beautiful faith of
Islam.
If one person were to accept the deen
through an effort of yours, by the will
of Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala, automatically,
you would achieve a lot. Because every salah
they read, you have a reward.
But the difficulty is, some people believe you
should not be kind to non Muslims. You
should not be good to non Muslims. You
should look at them with a dirty eye.
Astaghfirullah.
That is not Islam. In fact, Islam is
the opposite.
Where you need to treat every non Muslim
as a potential Muslim.
Every non Muslim is in fact a not
yet Muslim.
They would be
keen
on Islam
if we had to lead our lives properly.
But
we lie, we cheat, we swear, we deceive.
We are unfaithful.
What else? We have so much in terms
of negativity. We fight each other. We are
disunited. What else?
We oppress our women sometimes in the name
of Islam. And we say this is religion.
And then, what do what else do we
do? We don't want to greet one another
as Muslims.
What what are we showing? What are we
showing to the non Muslims? May Allah subhanahu
wa ta'ala forgive us. May he grant us
strength.
My brothers and sisters, it's about time
we educated ourselves regarding Islam.
Feel the hope in the mercy of Allah
Allah is all merciful. Allah loves you. He
wants to forgive you.
He is looking for any excuse to forgive
you. He wants to give you paradise.
He is looking for any excuse to give
you that paradise.
Give him that excuse. Turn to Allah. Turn
to Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala. Really.
You know,
we always say to ourselves that Allah sends
us reminders. We know that reminders come to
us.
But do you know that there is a
limit to the amount of reminders that will
come to you before
we will become expired? Or
the wrath overtakes
us. May Allah protect us.
