Mufti Menk – You Need To Appreciate And Move On

People who revert to Islam,

and they come as a result of the

approach that you've used,

as a result of, them being able to

relate to the way you've worded things.

Alhamdulillah, they are in their 1,000.

Yeah. And so when I know

that this has happened, it makes me ignore

a guy who hasn't converted a single person

talking about your method and the way you

do things and so on. Like, he is

a big,

great, successful daddy, you know. Mhmm. I think

to myself, they haven't studied and they don't

know. They have blinkers. They haven't seen societies,

and perhaps they don't even know the role

that

the environment plays in shaping the methodology of

dawah.

Because you and I know that the hikmah,

the method,

it it all depends on your environment as

well, the orf and the people around you

and what's going on at the time and

so on. So, masha'Allah, when you see people

coming into the faith and there comes a

time when they would

move on to some other masha'ih who go

into different types of details, different disciplines,

someone who might be a little bit stricter,

who might come across with a little bit

more

direct approaches and so on. And, Alhamdulillah, that's

what we expect.

I don't expect you to stay in grade

1 and 2 forever.

You need to move on. But if you

don't appreciate the primary school teacher,

you're not gonna appreciate anywhere else because you're

not gonna move on.
