00:03:58 --> 00:04:00
			Some people think when we speak about Dawah
		
00:04:01 --> 00:04:03
			that we all mean making Dawah to non
		
00:04:03 --> 00:04:04
			Muslims.
		
00:04:05 --> 00:04:08
			The word Dawah is a very common term
		
00:04:08 --> 00:04:09
			in Arabic, and linguistically,
		
00:04:10 --> 00:04:12
			it means to call.
		
00:04:12 --> 00:04:13
			It's a general term.
		
00:04:14 --> 00:04:16
			So it means to make dua to Muslims
		
00:04:17 --> 00:04:20
			and dua to non Muslims as well.
		
00:04:20 --> 00:04:22
			There are some people who are Muslims just
		
00:04:22 --> 00:04:25
			by name. Their name is Mohammed al Hassan.
		
00:04:26 --> 00:04:28
			But this behavior is not Islamic.
		
00:04:29 --> 00:04:31
			Some people are born Muslim
		
00:04:32 --> 00:04:34
			and it says this person has moved in
		
00:04:34 --> 00:04:34
			their
		
00:04:35 --> 00:04:36
			driver's license
		
00:04:36 --> 00:04:38
			back home or in their ID
		
00:04:39 --> 00:04:40
			but they're not practicing Islam.
		
00:04:41 --> 00:04:43
			So we need to make dawah to them,
		
00:04:43 --> 00:04:45
			to give them the sayha advice,
		
00:04:46 --> 00:04:49
			to tell them about what is haram and
		
00:04:49 --> 00:04:50
			what is haram.
		
00:04:51 --> 00:04:54
			But before we speak about the techniques and
		
00:04:54 --> 00:04:54
			the
		
00:05:56 --> 00:05:57
			knowledge and wisdom.
		
00:05:58 --> 00:06:00
			So these are requirements for someone who makes
		
00:06:00 --> 00:06:02
			dawah to Muslims.
		
00:06:02 --> 00:06:06
			Also, in Surah Tursu, Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala
		
00:06:22 --> 00:06:24
			I call for the way of my Lord
		
00:06:24 --> 00:06:26
			as and as those who follow me
		
00:06:27 --> 00:06:28
			with Basir.
		
00:06:34 --> 00:06:34
			Both.
		
00:06:51 --> 00:06:53
			You have to be kind and nice when
		
00:06:53 --> 00:06:55
			you give naseihah to people.
		
00:06:55 --> 00:06:58
			Because most of us, we are human beings.
		
00:06:58 --> 00:07:00
			We don't like to be corrected.
		
00:07:01 --> 00:07:02
			This is a universal
		
00:07:02 --> 00:07:03
			characteristic
		
00:07:04 --> 00:07:05
			of humans.
		
00:07:06 --> 00:07:08
			We don't like to be corrected.
		
00:07:09 --> 00:07:11
			So you don't have to be nice
		
00:07:11 --> 00:07:13
			and kind and wise when you speak to
		
00:07:13 --> 00:07:14
			people, otherwise
		
00:07:15 --> 00:07:16
			they're not going to listen to
		
00:07:16 --> 00:07:17
			you.
		
00:07:44 --> 00:07:47
			So Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala when he sent
		
00:07:48 --> 00:07:51
			Musa and Hawoon to the pharaoh, the arrogant,
		
00:07:52 --> 00:07:54
			he said, I'm your lord, the most high.
		
00:07:56 --> 00:07:59
			And he was an arrogant and oppressor person,
		
00:08:00 --> 00:08:01
			but still Allah
		
00:08:01 --> 00:08:03
			told Musa and Harun to go and bid
		
00:08:03 --> 00:08:06
			to him and say a nice word,
		
00:08:06 --> 00:08:08
			a goodly word, a kind word.
		
00:08:10 --> 00:08:12
			Otherwise, he will not listen to them.
		
00:08:13 --> 00:08:15
			So this is number 1. Number 2,
		
00:09:17 --> 00:09:19
			Don't lose hope in the mercy of Allah
		
00:09:19 --> 00:09:22
			subhanahu wa ta'ala. He forgives all sins. He
		
00:09:22 --> 00:09:24
			is the most forgiving, most merciful.
		
00:09:42 --> 00:09:44
			The prophet salawahu alaihi wa sallam says in
		
00:09:44 --> 00:09:46
			an authentic hadith in submitting
		
00:09:47 --> 00:09:49
			that Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala says so it's
		
00:09:49 --> 00:09:50
			a quitsi hadith.
		
00:09:51 --> 00:09:54
			O son of Adam, if your sins fill
		
00:09:54 --> 00:09:56
			the distance between the heavens and the earth
		
00:09:57 --> 00:09:58
			and you come back to me asking for
		
00:09:58 --> 00:09:59
			forgiveness,
		
00:09:59 --> 00:10:00
			I will forgive you.
		
00:10:02 --> 00:10:04
			So how come that Allah Subhanahu Waala says
		
00:10:04 --> 00:10:06
			I will forgive people
		
00:10:06 --> 00:10:09
			and you tell your brother or your sister
		
00:10:09 --> 00:10:12
			who's not practicing that Allah would never forgive
		
00:10:12 --> 00:10:12
			you?
		
00:10:12 --> 00:10:15
			Why do you close the gates of mercy
		
00:10:15 --> 00:10:16
			of Allah Subhanahu Wa
		
00:10:17 --> 00:10:18
			Ta'ala?
		
00:10:21 --> 00:10:22
			Don't tell the people that you will go
		
00:10:22 --> 00:10:24
			to the head fire, cursed class.
		
00:11:06 --> 00:11:06
			Sometimes
		
00:11:07 --> 00:11:09
			this is number 3.
		
00:11:09 --> 00:11:11
			Sometimes when we give nasiha to a Muslim
		
00:11:11 --> 00:11:13
			who's not practicing,
		
00:11:14 --> 00:11:16
			we will on talking about the hellfire.
		
00:11:18 --> 00:11:20
			We don't mention paradise where the rewards were
		
00:11:20 --> 00:11:22
			salah. Someone is not praying, for example,
		
00:11:23 --> 00:11:25
			We keep talking about the hilfar the hilfar,
		
00:11:25 --> 00:11:27
			the punishing, the choking, the crying,
		
00:11:28 --> 00:11:30
			the barbecue, and the hilfar.
		
00:11:31 --> 00:11:33
			But we never mention the jazah or the
		
00:11:33 --> 00:11:35
			reward for those who pray.
		
00:11:35 --> 00:11:37
			So you have to remind them of the
		
00:11:37 --> 00:11:40
			jazah or the reward agenda to motivate the
		
00:11:40 --> 00:11:41
			bond.
		
00:11:42 --> 00:11:43
			Some guys,
		
00:11:43 --> 00:11:46
			when they make down to the people, they
		
00:11:46 --> 00:11:47
			keep talking about the head fire
		
00:11:50 --> 00:11:51
			and
		
00:11:55 --> 00:11:57
			they describe it so thoroughly and so professionally,
		
00:11:58 --> 00:12:00
			they make you feel the reward and raise
		
00:12:00 --> 00:12:00
			this.
		
00:12:02 --> 00:12:04
			No. You have to remind the people of
		
00:12:04 --> 00:12:07
			being reward as well for doing good deeds
		
00:12:07 --> 00:12:09
			or avoiding something ill.
		
00:12:10 --> 00:12:11
			You have to show both,
		
00:12:12 --> 00:12:14
			sides of the picture. You don't dwell on
		
00:12:14 --> 00:12:15
			the hellfire.
		
00:12:18 --> 00:12:20
			Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala waif al Hadith al
		
00:12:20 --> 00:12:21
			Qudsi wa'hmati
		
00:12:21 --> 00:12:25
			sabhat gabbi. Allah says in Abu al Hadith
		
00:12:25 --> 00:12:27
			that my forgiveness, my mercy
		
00:12:28 --> 00:12:31
			comes before my anger and my punishment.
		
00:12:32 --> 00:12:33
			So if number
		
00:12:34 --> 00:12:35
			4,
		
00:13:03 --> 00:13:05
			So when you see a brother
		
00:13:05 --> 00:13:07
			not praying, for example, he prays a couple
		
00:13:07 --> 00:13:10
			of prayers but he gets lazy, he doesn't
		
00:13:10 --> 00:13:12
			pray the rest of the prayers, You go
		
00:13:12 --> 00:13:13
			and talk to everyone
		
00:13:14 --> 00:13:16
			except for the brother. You look at him,
		
00:13:16 --> 00:13:18
			they'll say how much you make backbites backbites
		
00:13:18 --> 00:13:19
			all the time.
		
00:13:21 --> 00:13:23
			You talk to the brother and give him,
		
00:13:23 --> 00:13:24
			they'll say how to correct
		
00:13:41 --> 00:13:42
			So Isa says,
		
00:13:43 --> 00:13:45
			what do you do if you see your
		
00:13:45 --> 00:13:46
			brother asleep
		
00:13:46 --> 00:13:48
			and his lie is uncovered
		
00:13:49 --> 00:13:52
			while he's asleep? What do you do?
		
00:13:59 --> 00:14:01
			You uncover him all the way to the
		
00:14:01 --> 00:14:02
			Milibah.
		
00:14:45 --> 00:14:46
			You exaggerate,
		
00:14:46 --> 00:14:47
			you exaggerate,
		
00:14:47 --> 00:14:49
			you add more drama
		
00:14:50 --> 00:14:52
			to the sin. You add more drama to
		
00:14:52 --> 00:14:54
			the mistake of the brother.
		
00:15:34 --> 00:15:37
			Mister so and so, did so and so,
		
00:15:37 --> 00:15:39
			something wrong, the prophet salallahu alaihi wa sallam
		
00:15:39 --> 00:15:40
			wouldn't say why mister
		
00:15:41 --> 00:15:44
			Ibrahim or mister Ismail did so and so.
		
00:15:44 --> 00:15:46
			The prophet salallahu alaihi wa sallam would say,
		
00:15:46 --> 00:15:49
			why do some people say this or do
		
00:15:49 --> 00:15:49
			this?
		
00:15:50 --> 00:15:52
			Allah, the prophet, is gonna speak in very
		
00:15:52 --> 00:15:55
			general terms so he doesn't humiliate
		
00:15:56 --> 00:15:57
			the brother or the sister.
		
00:15:58 --> 00:16:00
			And in the same time, he's making Naseeha,
		
00:16:00 --> 00:16:02
			and he is educating
		
00:16:02 --> 00:16:03
			the Muslim community.
		
00:16:04 --> 00:16:07
			So this is number 4. Number 5,
		
00:16:58 --> 00:16:59
			So you don't insult
		
00:17:00 --> 00:17:02
			or make dua against the people who are
		
00:17:02 --> 00:17:03
			not practicing.
		
00:17:03 --> 00:17:06
			You make dua for guidance for them, but
		
00:17:06 --> 00:17:09
			you don't pray against them and you don't
		
00:17:09 --> 00:17:11
			insult them or cuss at them.
		
00:17:11 --> 00:17:14
			A man, a drunkard, was brought to the
		
00:17:14 --> 00:17:14
			prophet
		
00:17:15 --> 00:17:17
			so some people started to cuss at him
		
00:17:17 --> 00:17:19
			and insult him.
		
00:17:19 --> 00:17:20
			So So the prophet asked him and said
		
00:17:20 --> 00:17:21
			don't say this.
		
00:17:22 --> 00:17:24
			Make God for him. Don't insult him.
		
00:17:25 --> 00:17:26
			Don't insult him. Don't assault him. Don't assist
		
00:17:26 --> 00:17:28
			the shaitan against your brother.
		
00:17:29 --> 00:17:30
			Because technically,
		
00:17:30 --> 00:17:33
			if this brother who's not practicing or he
		
00:17:33 --> 00:17:34
			does something wrong,
		
00:17:47 --> 00:17:49
			You have to give them a sayah. You
		
00:17:49 --> 00:17:50
			have to be good to them. And make
		
00:17:50 --> 00:17:52
			dua that Allah
		
00:17:53 --> 00:17:55
			will give them Hiday and will give them
		
00:17:55 --> 00:17:56
			guidance and forgive them.
		
00:19:58 --> 00:20:00
			So when we make nasiha to people, we
		
00:20:00 --> 00:20:02
			shouldn't look down
		
00:20:02 --> 00:20:03
			upon them.
		
00:20:03 --> 00:20:05
			You should be kind and you should be
		
00:20:05 --> 00:20:06
			respectful.
		
00:20:06 --> 00:20:08
			If someone doesn't have a beard, it doesn't
		
00:20:08 --> 00:20:10
			mean you offend them or you show disrespect
		
00:20:10 --> 00:20:13
			to them. If a sister doesn't wear the
		
00:20:13 --> 00:20:16
			hijab, you shouldn't disrespect them or offend them.
		
00:20:16 --> 00:20:18
			You should give them nasiha in a nice
		
00:20:18 --> 00:20:18
			way.
		
00:20:19 --> 00:20:22
			Otherwise, they will not listen to you. And
		
00:20:22 --> 00:20:25
			what matters for Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala is
		
00:20:25 --> 00:20:26
			how your life ends
		
00:20:27 --> 00:20:28
			in obedience or disobedience.
		
00:20:30 --> 00:20:31
			And also,
		
00:20:31 --> 00:20:34
			what matters for you, we don't hate someone
		
00:20:34 --> 00:20:35
			who is not practicing.
		
00:20:35 --> 00:20:37
			We don't hate we hate
		
00:20:37 --> 00:20:38
			the un Islamic
		
00:20:39 --> 00:20:39
			behavior
		
00:20:40 --> 00:20:42
			they do. We don't hate them as brothers
		
00:20:42 --> 00:20:46
			and sisters. We just hate their evil deeds.
		
00:21:03 --> 00:21:03
			Islam.
		
00:21:06 --> 00:21:09
			He is saying this scholar, he is saying
		
00:21:09 --> 00:21:10
			that a sin
		
00:21:11 --> 00:21:13
			that will humble you before Allah Subhanahu Wa
		
00:21:13 --> 00:21:15
			Ta'ala and bring you back to Islam
		
00:21:16 --> 00:21:18
			is better in the sight of Allah than
		
00:21:18 --> 00:21:20
			a good deed that will make you arrogant.
		
00:21:21 --> 00:21:23
			Because some people go arrogant because of their
		
00:21:23 --> 00:21:26
			good deeds. Some people are humbled by sins
		
00:21:26 --> 00:21:28
			and I'm not saying that you should sin.
		
00:21:28 --> 00:21:30
			I'm saying that sometimes
		
00:21:30 --> 00:21:32
			a sin will bring you back to Allah
		
00:21:32 --> 00:21:34
			Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala because you feel regretful
		
00:21:35 --> 00:21:36
			and remorseful.
		
00:21:38 --> 00:21:39
			In conclusion,
		
00:21:40 --> 00:21:43
			I used some of these texts with some
		
00:21:43 --> 00:21:44
			brothers in the US and here.
		
00:21:45 --> 00:21:47
			Some people used to smoke and they never
		
00:21:47 --> 00:21:50
			pray Fajd on time. And when I made
		
00:21:50 --> 00:21:52
			Naseeh after them, they prayed on time and
		
00:21:52 --> 00:21:54
			they started coming to the Russians for Fajd
		
00:21:54 --> 00:21:56
			and they went smoking.
		
00:26:00 --> 00:26:02
			So the first one, if you need them,
		
00:26:02 --> 00:26:04
			give them salah with greetings of peace.
		
00:26:05 --> 00:26:08
			Number 2, if they invite you, you have
		
00:26:08 --> 00:26:09
			to accept the invitation,
		
00:26:10 --> 00:26:11
			if you can.
		
00:26:12 --> 00:26:13
			Number 3,
		
00:26:13 --> 00:26:16
			if they ask for your advice, you have
		
00:26:16 --> 00:26:18
			to give them sincere advice.
		
00:26:20 --> 00:26:21
			Yes. Number 4,
		
00:26:22 --> 00:26:22
			if he or she sneezes and they say
		
00:26:22 --> 00:26:23
			Alhamdulillah, you have to say Alhamdulillah to
		
00:26:41 --> 00:26:43
			And don't get me wrong. The last part
		
00:26:43 --> 00:26:45
			of the hadith says, if he or she
		
00:26:45 --> 00:26:47
			dies, you should follow him or her. It
		
00:26:47 --> 00:26:50
			doesn't mean you should die right after them.
		
00:26:51 --> 00:26:53
			It means you should follow their funeral.
		
00:26:54 --> 00:26:55
			So I'm just making sure you got this
		
00:26:55 --> 00:26:56
			right.
		
00:28:56 --> 00:28:59
			Before you advise other people so no one
		
00:28:59 --> 00:29:02
			will listen to you if you're not following
		
00:29:02 --> 00:29:04
			what you teach other people.
		
00:29:05 --> 00:29:06
			And I always wonder,
		
00:29:07 --> 00:29:09
			because I have seen it several times. A
		
00:29:09 --> 00:29:10
			father
		
00:30:11 --> 00:30:13
			The first thing that we
		
00:30:13 --> 00:30:16
			learn from the Surah Al Qasasalah is to
		
00:30:16 --> 00:30:18
			choose the right time to give advice
		
00:30:59 --> 00:31:01
			So imagine if you raise some money
		
00:31:01 --> 00:31:03
			off in the middle of the night just
		
00:31:03 --> 00:31:05
			to give you the say how to pray
		
00:31:05 --> 00:31:06
			properly.
		
00:31:06 --> 00:31:09
			They will say, thanks for coming. Shut the
		
00:31:09 --> 00:31:11
			door. Turn on the lights.
		
00:31:11 --> 00:31:13
			I don't want to hear nothing about prayers.
		
00:32:48 --> 00:32:50
			To prepare them for the shot, for the
		
00:32:50 --> 00:32:51
			advice.
		
00:32:51 --> 00:32:52
			So you have for example,
		
00:32:53 --> 00:32:54
			Yani, if a brother,
		
00:32:55 --> 00:32:58
			is not precise to go on with Tajweed,
		
00:32:59 --> 00:33:01
			but he or she has a very good
		
00:33:01 --> 00:33:01
			voice.
		
00:39:18 --> 00:39:20
			So in this story,
		
00:39:20 --> 00:39:21
			the prophet
		
00:39:22 --> 00:39:22
			would
		
00:39:23 --> 00:39:25
			advise people in in pride. He wouldn't,
		
00:39:27 --> 00:39:30
			as brother Nader Najm says, he wouldn't tar
		
00:39:30 --> 00:39:31
			and feather them.
		
00:39:45 --> 00:39:48
			Because nobody else heard about the mistake except
		
00:39:48 --> 00:39:51
			for himself, so he would narrate this hadith
		
00:39:51 --> 00:39:52
			after the death of the prophet
		
00:39:53 --> 00:39:55
			And this is the only way we knew
		
00:39:55 --> 00:39:57
			about the mistake and how the prophet
		
00:39:57 --> 00:39:58
			corrected the person.
		
00:40:11 --> 00:40:13
			When he answered to this time, he went
		
00:40:13 --> 00:40:14
			out to the prophet, saw a woman in
		
00:40:14 --> 00:40:16
			a camp. So one day, he was walking
		
00:40:16 --> 00:40:19
			by himself. So he saw a group of
		
00:40:19 --> 00:40:20
			beautiful
		
00:40:20 --> 00:40:22
			ladies. So he went to his tent. He
		
00:40:22 --> 00:40:24
			put on his nicest clothes, and he went
		
00:40:24 --> 00:40:27
			to them. He started to chitchat with them.
		
00:40:52 --> 00:40:53
			I said,
		
00:40:53 --> 00:40:56
			these ladies I have a very violent
		
00:40:56 --> 00:40:58
			rebellious camel and these ladies are making a
		
00:40:58 --> 00:41:01
			rope for me so I will tie my
		
00:41:01 --> 00:41:03
			camel so it doesn't run away.
		
00:41:03 --> 00:41:05
			And he said, I knew
		
00:41:06 --> 00:41:06
			utterly,
		
00:41:07 --> 00:41:08
			completely, entirely,
		
00:41:08 --> 00:41:09
			100%
		
00:41:09 --> 00:41:12
			that the promised officer knew that I was
		
00:41:12 --> 00:41:13
			a liar.
		
00:41:13 --> 00:41:15
			So the promised officer is gonna say if
		
00:41:15 --> 00:41:16
			they can be left.
		
00:41:17 --> 00:41:19
			A few days later, he said, I was
		
00:41:19 --> 00:41:20
			walking in the street.
		
00:41:20 --> 00:41:21
			Then
		
00:42:08 --> 00:42:10
			and he prayed to our Arsunan
		
00:42:10 --> 00:42:12
			and he sat in front of me. When
		
00:42:12 --> 00:42:13
			I saw the prophet waiting
		
00:42:14 --> 00:42:16
			for me and I knew what he was
		
00:42:16 --> 00:42:19
			going to say, so I started to recite
		
00:42:19 --> 00:42:21
			the Longi Surah in the book. So the
		
00:42:21 --> 00:42:22
			prophet salallahu alayhi
		
00:42:26 --> 00:42:28
			wa sallam came closer to me while I
		
00:42:28 --> 00:42:30
			was standing in the prayer and said, I'm
		
00:42:30 --> 00:42:31
			waiting for you.
		
00:42:32 --> 00:42:33
			Pray as long as you would. I'll be
		
00:42:33 --> 00:42:35
			waiting for you all day long.
		
00:44:22 --> 00:44:23
			So
		
00:44:23 --> 00:44:25
			the last advice from the prophet,
		
00:44:26 --> 00:44:28
			you have to be nice and kind and
		
00:44:28 --> 00:44:29
			good and courteous
		
00:44:30 --> 00:44:31
			to the people when you gave the Muslim.
		
00:44:31 --> 00:44:33
			You shouldn't offend them.
		
00:44:33 --> 00:44:36
			In this hadith, a bit of it, someone
		
00:44:36 --> 00:44:37
			who just accepted Islam,
		
00:45:05 --> 00:45:07
			It is not for your nation.
		
00:45:07 --> 00:45:10
			So the person according to the other nation
		
00:45:10 --> 00:45:11
			by Yag Ahmed was moved
		
00:45:12 --> 00:45:13
			by the kindness
		
00:45:13 --> 00:45:14
			and the generosity
		
00:45:15 --> 00:45:17
			of the prophet, salaam alayhi, and he said,
		
00:45:17 --> 00:45:17
			oh, Allah,
