			We come to the third subcategory
		
00:00:06 --> 00:00:12
			of the role of a Muslim and non Muslim society that is dealing with non Muslims. And that third
subcategory is our
		
00:00:15 --> 00:00:17
			What is the meaning of the Arabic word our
		
00:00:19 --> 00:00:22
			those who come from the Indian subcontinent.
		
00:00:24 --> 00:00:25
			They know the meaning of the word Davos.
		
00:00:27 --> 00:00:31
			The moment you hear the word Davos, you start thinking of a biryani, or a plow
		
00:00:33 --> 00:00:40
			da via data does not mean Biryani. opala. dava means to call to invite
		
00:00:41 --> 00:01:18
			and an invitation can only be given to an outsider. So dava specifically means inviting a non Muslim
towards Islam. When you speak about Islam to a Muslim, the more appropriate word is Islam, which
means to repair which means to improve. But when we speak about Islam to non Muslim inviting him
towards Islam, the more appropriate word is Dawa. Though this word dava is used synonymously both my
speaking to Muslim as well as non Muslims. But specifically Dawa means inviting the non Muslims
towards Islam.
		
00:01:19 --> 00:01:28
			And this Dawa is a fourth and every Muslim especially those Muslims who are living in a non Muslim
society.
		
00:01:30 --> 00:01:48
			I started my talk by quoting a verse from the Quran from Surah lm Ron chapter number three was 110.
Well, last month, Allah says kuntum Cara Amata Nikita Atlanta's only Muslims, he are the best of
people it was for mankind.
		
00:01:49 --> 00:01:53
			Allah has given us an honor and calling us among the best of people.
		
00:01:55 --> 00:02:02
			Whenever there is honor, it is always followed up with responsibility. There is no honor without
responsibility.
		
00:02:03 --> 00:02:04
			For example,
		
00:02:05 --> 00:02:10
			in a school, the principle has got more honor than a teacher.
		
00:02:11 --> 00:02:14
			A teacher has got more honor than a clerk.
		
00:02:15 --> 00:03:02
			But simultaneously, the principal has got more responsibility than a teacher. A teacher has got more
responsibility than a clerk. There is no honor without responsibility. Allah has given us an honor
in the Quran as calling us the Hydra among Muslims. He had the best of peoples of all for mankind.
Don't you think we have responsibility? The reply is given in the same words Allah continues and
says morona Bill maruf town animal care but una bella because we enjoy what is good and we forbid
what is wrong. And we believe in Allah. If we do not enjoy what is good, and if we do not forbid
what is wrong, we aren't fit to be called as Hydra oma. We are unfit to be called as Muslims. It is
		
00:03:02 --> 00:03:06
			compulsory for every Muslim, that invites
		
00:03:08 --> 00:03:13
			non Muslims he invites them towards the good and forbids them from going wrong and believe in Allah.
		
00:03:15 --> 00:03:18
			Allah says in the Quran, in Surah, Muhammad,
		
00:03:20 --> 00:03:21
			chap number 47
		
00:03:22 --> 00:03:32
			was limited. That if you do not do your job, if you do not for the responsive they are less giving
you Allah says
		
00:03:33 --> 00:03:49
			Allah, just double common Garam Allah will substitute in a place and other people so malacanang
Salah, and they will not be like you. If you do not do your job. If you do not follow the
commandments of Allah subhanho wa Taala Allah will substitute in your place and other people and
they will not be like you.
		
00:03:51 --> 00:04:07
			Allah says in the Quran in surah baqarah chapter number two was the 143 that we have made you and
