The speaker discusses the ways in which Muslims call others towards Islam, including verbally inviting them to come to Islam and through character and conduct. They also criticize those who call them "unsuff aims" and try to be like non Muslims. The speaker argues that Islam is the opposite of everyone being a non-M-thirsty Muslim and that there is a limit to the amount of reminders that will come to one person before they become expiration.

			One of the best of the Muslims
		
00:00:02 --> 00:00:05
			are those who call others towards Islam.
		
00:00:05 --> 00:00:07
			And you know, there are 2 main ways
		
00:00:07 --> 00:00:09
			of calling people towards Islam. 1 is,
		
00:00:10 --> 00:00:12
			by inviting them verbally. And the other is,
		
00:00:13 --> 00:00:15
			just through our character and conduct. If you
		
00:00:15 --> 00:00:17
			take a look at the Jawah,
		
00:00:17 --> 00:00:19
			and the region of Far East Asia. And
		
00:00:19 --> 00:00:22
			how Islam spread there to the degree that
		
00:00:22 --> 00:00:25
			today we have the most number of Muslims
		
00:00:25 --> 00:00:27
			on the globe concentrated in that region.
		
00:00:27 --> 00:00:29
			You will find that it's there through the
		
00:00:29 --> 00:00:32
			business people and the others who came. Their
		
00:00:32 --> 00:00:33
			character,
		
00:00:33 --> 00:00:34
			conduct and uprightness,
		
00:00:35 --> 00:00:38
			automatically invited people towards this beautiful faith of
		
00:00:38 --> 00:00:38
			Islam.
		
00:00:41 --> 00:00:43
			If one person were to accept the deen
		
00:00:44 --> 00:00:45
			through an effort of yours, by the will
		
00:00:45 --> 00:00:48
			of Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala, automatically,
		
00:00:48 --> 00:00:51
			you would achieve a lot. Because every salah
		
00:00:51 --> 00:00:53
			they read, you have a reward.
		
00:00:55 --> 00:00:57
			But the difficulty is, some people believe you
		
00:00:57 --> 00:00:59
			should not be kind to non Muslims. You
		
00:00:59 --> 00:01:01
			should not be good to non Muslims. You
		
00:01:01 --> 00:01:03
			should look at them with a dirty eye.
		
00:01:04 --> 00:01:05
			Astaghfirullah.
		
00:01:06 --> 00:01:08
			That is not Islam. In fact, Islam is
		
00:01:08 --> 00:01:09
			the opposite.
		
00:01:09 --> 00:01:13
			Where you need to treat every non Muslim
		
00:01:13 --> 00:01:14
			as a potential Muslim.
		
00:01:15 --> 00:01:18
			Every non Muslim is in fact a not
		
00:01:18 --> 00:01:18
			yet Muslim.
		
00:01:19 --> 00:01:20
			They would be
		
00:01:21 --> 00:01:21
			keen
		
00:01:23 --> 00:01:24
			on Islam
		
00:01:24 --> 00:01:27
			if we had to lead our lives properly.
		
00:01:27 --> 00:01:28
			But
		
00:01:28 --> 00:01:31
			we lie, we cheat, we swear, we deceive.
		
00:01:32 --> 00:01:33
			We are unfaithful.
		
00:01:33 --> 00:01:35
			What else? We have so much in terms
		
00:01:35 --> 00:01:38
			of negativity. We fight each other. We are
		
00:01:38 --> 00:01:39
			disunited. What else?
		
00:01:40 --> 00:01:42
			We oppress our women sometimes in the name
		
00:01:42 --> 00:01:45
			of Islam. And we say this is religion.
		
00:01:45 --> 00:01:47
			And then, what do what else do we
		
00:01:47 --> 00:01:49
			do? We don't want to greet one another
		
00:01:49 --> 00:01:49
			as Muslims.
		
00:01:50 --> 00:01:52
			What what are we showing? What are we
		
00:01:52 --> 00:01:55
			showing to the non Muslims? May Allah subhanahu
		
00:01:55 --> 00:01:57
			wa ta'ala forgive us. May he grant us
		
00:01:57 --> 00:01:57
			strength.
		
00:01:58 --> 00:02:00
			My brothers and sisters, it's about time
		
00:02:00 --> 00:02:03
			we educated ourselves regarding Islam.
		
00:02:04 --> 00:02:06
			Feel the hope in the mercy of Allah
		
00:02:07 --> 00:02:10
			Allah is all merciful. Allah loves you. He
		
00:02:10 --> 00:02:12
			wants to forgive you.
		
00:02:12 --> 00:02:14
			He is looking for any excuse to forgive
		
00:02:14 --> 00:02:16
			you. He wants to give you paradise.
		
00:02:17 --> 00:02:19
			He is looking for any excuse to give
		
00:02:19 --> 00:02:20
			you that paradise.
		
00:02:20 --> 00:02:23
			Give him that excuse. Turn to Allah. Turn
		
00:02:23 --> 00:02:25
			to Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala. Really.
		
00:02:26 --> 00:02:26
			You know,
		
00:02:27 --> 00:02:30
			we always say to ourselves that Allah sends
		
00:02:30 --> 00:02:32
			us reminders. We know that reminders come to
		
00:02:32 --> 00:02:33
			us.
		
00:02:33 --> 00:02:34
			But do you know that there is a
		
00:02:34 --> 00:02:36
			limit to the amount of reminders that will
		
00:02:36 --> 00:02:37
			come to you before
		
00:02:38 --> 00:02:40
			we will become expired? Or
		
00:02:40 --> 00:02:41
			the wrath overtakes
		
00:02:42 --> 00:02:43
			us. May Allah protect us.
