How is it possible for me to recognize
that this particular human being believes in the
sign of Allah
unless I recognize
that he's a Muslim, or he's a woman.
Usually,
when you attend a conference,
the delegates,
they wear a label,
or they wear a badge,
on which is mentioned
the name of the delegate,
and his designation,
or the place where he comes from.
If
it's a conference
of intellectuals,
maybe
the profession is mentioned,
Whether he's a doctor or engineer or an
advocate,
if it's a conference
or specialist
in the field of medicine,
the specialty is mentioned.
Whether he's a cardiologist,
a heart specialist.
Whether he's a neurologist,
a brain specialist,
whether he's
a urologist,
a specialist of the kidney, whether he's a
gynecologist,
a specialist in the disease of the woman,
whether he's a pediatrician,
a specialist of the children,
the specialty
of that person is mentioned.
This batch
are a label,
which the delegates wear. It's a sort of
an informal introduction.
If you want to ask any question
about the heart,
you'll ask a cardiologist.
If you want to know about something about
the brain,
some later advances,
you'll go and approach a neurologist.
If you want to know something about the
treatment of the disease of the children, you'll
approach a pediatrician.
This batch is a sort of an informal
introduction.
It's a requirement
that every Muslim
should also have a label.
For example,
I'm wearing a badge.
I have a label
on which it's mentioned
Allah.
Any person,
whether Muslim or non Muslim,
when he sees this badge, even if he
cannot read Arabic,
he will realize it is something in Arabic,
and he'll immediately realize that this person is
a Muslim.
It's an informal introduction,
introducing myself that I'm a Muslim.
There are various other batches available,
and we have
a great variety in the Islamicist Foundation.
Batch of mentioning,
That there's no god but Allah, and prophet
Muhammad
is the messenger of Allah
We have batches mentioning Quran
is the word of God for universal guidance.
When a person sees the batch,
a non Muslim,
he must also be inquisitive.
That
What is this badge you're wearing?
What does it mean Allah?
And you have an opportunity
to do dawah.
He may ask that Quran, the word of
God. What is this Quran?
An opportunity
to talk.
It's not possible
for all the Muslim to
wear a badge like the 1 I'm wearing.
It's difficult.
It's not freely available, and it's also expensive.
Therefore, I wouldn't say that everyone should wear
a batch, and neither do I wear a
batch always.
I don't wear this batch always. Just a
few times.
Not always.
When I wear the coat, I wear a
badge. Not always. It's not practical that every
Muslim should wear such a badge.
Why don't we Muslims
wear a label
which
is being worn
since ages, and it's already there in our
community.
Since ages.
I'm referring
to the beard
and the cap.
But why don't we Muslims wear the label?
That is sport a beard
and wear a cap.
There may be many Muslim brothers of mine
who may ask me,
what does
the cap and the beard have to do
with Islam?
Do I have to wear a cap and
sport a beard
for Allah
to recognize that I'm a Muslim?
For Allah
to recognize any human being, whether he's a
Muslim or not, He doesn't require us to
wear
a cap or sport a beard.
Allah
is a mega. He has the knowledge.
If you deserve Jannah,
heaven,
Allah will give it to you.
If you deserve Jahanam, *, Allah will give
it to you. Allah doesn't require
a person to wear the cap, or sport,
or beard to recognize whether you're a Muslim
or not.
But the question I ask that how will
I, as a Muslim,
who doesn't have
will recognize
whether the person in front of me, whether
he's a Muslim or not? How will I
recognize?
