00:00:00 --> 00:00:02
			But I've seen in Darul Olam Durban and
		
00:00:02 --> 00:00:03
			all these masajids
		
00:00:04 --> 00:00:05
			and Islamic institutes,
		
00:00:05 --> 00:00:08
			people are coming out qualifying as a Hafiz
		
00:00:08 --> 00:00:10
			and a Sheikh only to become an imam
		
00:00:10 --> 00:00:11
			of a masjid
		
00:00:12 --> 00:00:14
			and the majority of them have forgotten the
		
00:00:14 --> 00:00:14
			responsibility
		
00:00:15 --> 00:00:16
			of dawah.
		
00:00:17 --> 00:00:20
			To invite your own Muslims, that's one problem.
		
00:00:21 --> 00:00:23
			To invite non Muslims
		
00:00:24 --> 00:00:26
			to explain to them about Islam,
		
00:00:26 --> 00:00:29
			to take the message of Islam to them.
		
00:00:29 --> 00:00:33
			If you can't let them understand Islam or
		
00:00:33 --> 00:00:35
			bring them to accept Islam, you are letting
		
00:00:35 --> 00:00:37
			them understand the message of Islam, take the
		
00:00:37 --> 00:00:40
			message to them. That's our job.
		
00:00:42 --> 00:00:44
			And I you know why I said my
		
00:00:44 --> 00:00:45
			my my last week
		
00:00:45 --> 00:00:46
			experience?
		
00:00:47 --> 00:00:48
			I have a brother here who's a witness.
		
00:00:48 --> 00:00:50
			Your next brother here?
		
00:00:50 --> 00:00:52
			Alright. 2 brothers who are here who witnessed
		
00:00:52 --> 00:00:53
			me.
		
00:00:54 --> 00:00:56
			We went into a Muslim restaurant
		
00:00:58 --> 00:01:00
			owned by an Arab brother because we saw
		
00:01:00 --> 00:01:02
			Arab food. I said, alright. Halal.
		
00:01:04 --> 00:01:06
			So one on on our way back from
		
00:01:06 --> 00:01:07
			there,
		
00:01:07 --> 00:01:10
			about 7 of us went. Four brothers flew.
		
00:01:10 --> 00:01:12
			Me and 2 other brothers drove back.
		
00:01:13 --> 00:01:14
			Went into a halal
		
00:01:16 --> 00:01:17
			Arab restaurant.
		
00:01:20 --> 00:01:21
			I
		
00:01:22 --> 00:01:22
			know
		
00:01:25 --> 00:01:27
			you like to like stories, so everybody quiet
		
00:01:27 --> 00:01:28
			to hear the story. What's next?
		
00:01:35 --> 00:01:37
			So there was this girl by the register,
		
00:01:39 --> 00:01:40
			of course we thought she was Arab,
		
00:01:43 --> 00:01:46
			so only to realize she was not Muslim.
		
00:01:46 --> 00:01:48
			I said, are you Arab? She said, no.
		
00:01:48 --> 00:01:49
			Are you Muslim? No.
		
00:01:50 --> 00:01:51
			She said, I am
		
00:01:52 --> 00:01:54
			Mexican. I said, oh beautiful. I said, you
		
00:01:54 --> 00:01:56
			look like Arab, I have 2 brothers you're
		
00:01:56 --> 00:01:56
			a witness.
		
00:01:57 --> 00:01:59
			And you know, it was very interesting
		
00:02:01 --> 00:02:04
			that the sister was so nice and so
		
00:02:04 --> 00:02:06
			kind and serving.
		
00:02:06 --> 00:02:08
			I mean, I could swear she was a
		
00:02:08 --> 00:02:10
			Muslim but because she said she was Muslim,
		
00:02:10 --> 00:02:12
			we had to believe she was a Muslim.
		
00:02:14 --> 00:02:16
			And I kept on telling the brothers, I
		
00:02:16 --> 00:02:17
			said, you know, that sister could be a
		
00:02:17 --> 00:02:19
			Muslim. She should be a Muslim. She's working
		
00:02:19 --> 00:02:21
			in a Muslim environment serving halal food.
		
00:02:23 --> 00:02:26
			We ever ate, we left, went to the
		
00:02:26 --> 00:02:27
			car ready to go,
		
00:02:27 --> 00:02:29
			only to know I lost my keys.
		
00:02:31 --> 00:02:33
			Looking all over, we went in the store
		
00:02:33 --> 00:02:36
			next door where we walked walked in, no
		
00:02:36 --> 00:02:36
			keys.
		
00:02:37 --> 00:02:38
			I don't know what strike me. I said,
		
00:02:38 --> 00:02:40
			let's check back in the restaurant, but I
		
00:02:40 --> 00:02:42
			didn't go anywhere in the restaurant except sit
		
00:02:42 --> 00:02:43
			on the tip by the on the chair.
		
00:02:44 --> 00:02:46
			And right where we're sitting, I normally clip
		
00:02:46 --> 00:02:48
			my keys on my waist. It's really, I
		
00:02:48 --> 00:02:51
			think, the first time these keys fell off,
		
00:02:51 --> 00:02:52
			a clip, strong clip.
		
00:02:53 --> 00:02:55
			Oh I had it in the garage.
		
00:02:57 --> 00:02:58
			And when I picked up the keys, the
		
00:02:58 --> 00:03:00
			sisters like, I know you guys enjoy the
		
00:03:00 --> 00:03:02
			food that's why you came back.
		
00:03:03 --> 00:03:05
			I said, well yeah, of course.
		
00:03:06 --> 00:03:07
			And then,
		
00:03:07 --> 00:03:10
			whichever customer she was dealing with left.
		
00:03:10 --> 00:03:12
			And I said, sister,
		
00:03:12 --> 00:03:13
			so you know, so
		
00:03:14 --> 00:03:16
			what religion do you belong to?
		
00:03:16 --> 00:03:18
			She said, I have no religion.
		
00:03:19 --> 00:03:20
			Already struck me.
		
00:03:21 --> 00:03:22
			Think what I'm telling you.
		
00:03:23 --> 00:03:24
			I have no religion.
		
00:03:25 --> 00:03:27
			So then we started giving her dua.
		
00:03:28 --> 00:03:29
			Asked the brothers to go in the car
		
00:03:29 --> 00:03:31
			and bring the yellow dua brochure, one God,
		
00:03:31 --> 00:03:32
			one religion,
		
00:03:33 --> 00:03:35
			give it to her, started telling her about
		
00:03:35 --> 00:03:35
			halal and
		
00:03:36 --> 00:03:39
			pork and alcohol because she tried to use
		
00:03:39 --> 00:03:42
			a a halal menu Dawah operation because she's
		
00:03:42 --> 00:03:43
			in food.
		
00:03:44 --> 00:03:46
			And then started telling about God and she's
		
00:03:46 --> 00:03:49
			she was so receptive to learn about Islam
		
00:03:50 --> 00:03:52
			and to know about Islam. She took the
		
00:03:52 --> 00:03:53
			dua material.
		
00:03:53 --> 00:03:55
			She accepted, I don't have no religion and
		
00:03:55 --> 00:03:57
			it's like, you know, she's like, it's just
		
00:03:57 --> 00:03:59
			like I wish someone could teach me about
		
00:03:59 --> 00:04:00
			Islam.
		
00:04:00 --> 00:04:03
			She was so willing to know more about
		
00:04:03 --> 00:04:03
			Islam.
		
00:04:04 --> 00:04:06
			And that strike me. That strike me. The
		
00:04:06 --> 00:04:09
			sister took some more Dawah brochures not only
		
00:04:09 --> 00:04:10
			for herself but to give other people.
		
00:04:11 --> 00:04:13
			And I'm saying here is a non Muslim
		
00:04:13 --> 00:04:15
			girl working in a Muslim restaurant.
		
00:04:17 --> 00:04:19
			Sometimes we Muslims only think about money.
		
00:04:20 --> 00:04:22
			You only think about business.
		
00:04:23 --> 00:04:25
			You got non Muslims working with you.
		
00:04:26 --> 00:04:28
			You pay, you hire.
		
00:04:29 --> 00:04:30
			I'm not telling you to force them to
		
00:04:30 --> 00:04:31
			accept Islam,
		
00:04:32 --> 00:04:34
			but you don't even give them the message
		
00:04:34 --> 00:04:34
			of Islam.
		
00:04:45 --> 00:04:48
			Let these radical imams brainwash some of us.
		
00:04:49 --> 00:04:51
			We come here, we sit, we sleep in
		
00:04:51 --> 00:04:53
			khutbas, we don't get the message, that's why
		
00:04:53 --> 00:04:54
			we miss it. All All I need you
		
00:04:55 --> 00:04:55
			to be grateful.
		
00:04:56 --> 00:04:58
			Allah. Are you telling me Allah
		
00:04:59 --> 00:05:01
			will not protect the the prestige of Muhammad
		
00:05:01 --> 00:05:03
			salallahu alayhi was only living for business?
		
00:05:04 --> 00:05:06
			That's all our dream. Let me see who
		
00:05:06 --> 00:05:07
			shall save you now.
		
00:05:07 --> 00:05:08
			Nobody.
		
00:05:09 --> 00:05:09
			Nobody.
