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.
