For example when you draw lines and you
draw hard line I don't want to talk
to these people don't want to you know,
sit with these people. Don't want to look
at these people. Don't want to get back
at these people. Don't want to you know
what you have done.
If you are a student of knowledge and
you know that your effect and impact will
probably bigger than be bigger than theirs, they
wouldn't be able to deviate you.
For Dawah,
there's nothing like that. Dawah, I have been
to the churches. I have been to other
places. I've been to places of worship of
others, not in order to participate with them,
in order to go there and deliver a
lecture about the deed when they've invited me.
If someone invites you today to the main
church here in the city to say, please
come at 10:15 today, we want you to
speak for 15 minutes about Islam. Would you
go?
As a student of knowledge, would you go?
Even if the whole of Abuja said, ah,
that sheikh went to the synagogue.
You would consider it a duty and go.
Because I just went 10:15. I spoke for
15 minutes about the deen of Islam. Answered
1, 2 questions. I came back, and I'm
out. Is that dua? It's dua. Someone who
has never lived in an environment where there
are such churches and synagogues will tell you,
why did you go?
Make tober. My brother, this opportunity of dower,
you've never smelled it in your life. We
are living in it.
Do you get what I'm saying? Another thing
is what did I do? I'm a student
of knowledge. If that was the case, how
did the prophet sallallahu alaihi wa sallam expand
the deal of Allah? How did he give
dua if he didn't even sit with these
people for dua purposes?
I'm not talking of to create love and
a bond. There's there's nothing like that.
