00:00:03 --> 00:00:05
			I may not be able to complete all
		
00:00:05 --> 00:00:08
			my points, but a very important point as
		
00:00:08 --> 00:00:09
			far as implication
		
00:00:10 --> 00:00:12
			the implications of Tahit in human life is
		
00:00:12 --> 00:00:13
			concerned.
		
00:00:13 --> 00:00:15
			We always look forward for a profession.
		
00:00:18 --> 00:00:18
			And today,
		
00:00:19 --> 00:00:20
			the world thinks the best profession
		
00:00:21 --> 00:00:22
			is a doctor.
		
00:00:22 --> 00:00:24
			Next, maybe engineer or
		
00:00:25 --> 00:00:26
			IT, etcetera.
		
00:00:28 --> 00:00:28
			And
		
00:00:30 --> 00:00:30
			my
		
00:00:31 --> 00:00:33
			mother wanted me to be a heart specialist.
		
00:00:33 --> 00:00:35
			I was inspired by Sheikh Dzad. Most of
		
00:00:35 --> 00:00:36
			you know about it.
		
00:00:36 --> 00:00:38
			I chose to become a doctor because it
		
00:00:38 --> 00:00:39
			was the best profession. But after a minute,
		
00:00:39 --> 00:00:40
			I
		
00:00:40 --> 00:00:41
			realized
		
00:00:42 --> 00:00:43
			that the best profession is not a doctor.
		
00:00:44 --> 00:00:46
			The best profession is that mafaddai,
		
00:00:46 --> 00:00:47
			calling people to Allah.
		
00:00:48 --> 00:00:50
			Allah says in the Quran
		
00:00:50 --> 00:00:52
			chapter 41 verse 33.
		
00:00:57 --> 00:00:58
			Who is better in speech than one who
		
00:00:58 --> 00:01:00
			invites to the way of thy Lord? Works
		
00:01:00 --> 00:01:03
			righteousness and saves their emotions. So the best
		
00:01:03 --> 00:01:06
			profession is of a dai. What was the
		
00:01:06 --> 00:01:06
			profession
		
00:01:07 --> 00:01:08
			of Muhammad sallallahu alaihi wa sallam?
		
00:01:09 --> 00:01:10
			Doctor? Engineer?
		
00:01:11 --> 00:01:14
			IT? You are the Dai, messenger of Allah.
		
00:01:15 --> 00:01:17
			And after the messengers of Allah have gone,
		
00:01:17 --> 00:01:18
			they will not come.
		
00:01:18 --> 00:01:20
			It is the Dai who get the people
		
00:01:20 --> 00:01:21
			called people to Allah.
		
00:01:22 --> 00:01:24
			Allah says in Surin Branch chapter 3104,
		
00:01:25 --> 00:01:26
			let let there rise out of your band
		
00:01:26 --> 00:01:29
			of people that invite people to the truth
		
00:01:29 --> 00:01:30
			and
		
00:01:30 --> 00:01:32
			prevent them from doing what is wrong.
		
00:01:33 --> 00:01:36
			One of the main important implications of tawhid
		
00:01:36 --> 00:01:38
			in human life is tawah,
		
00:01:38 --> 00:01:41
			and Allah gives the master key for dawah.
		
00:01:41 --> 00:01:43
			So in Imran chapter 3 was 64 Allah
		
00:01:43 --> 00:01:43
			says,
		
00:01:44 --> 00:01:45
			oh, people of the book.
		
00:01:48 --> 00:01:50
			Come to common terms as we've assigned you.
		
00:01:50 --> 00:01:52
			Which is the first term? Allah.
		
00:01:52 --> 00:01:54
			That we worship Anbat Allah.
		
00:01:55 --> 00:01:57
			That we associate the partner with the team.
		
00:02:00 --> 00:02:02
			That we erect not among ourselves, lords and
		
00:02:02 --> 00:02:03
			people other than
		
00:02:03 --> 00:02:04
			Allah.
		
00:02:04 --> 00:02:06
			And if they turn back,
		
00:02:08 --> 00:02:10
			we bear witness that we are Muslims bowing
		
00:02:10 --> 00:02:11
			over to Allah.
		
00:02:11 --> 00:02:13
			This verse of the Quran according to me
		
00:02:13 --> 00:02:15
			is the master key for dawah. Come to
		
00:02:15 --> 00:02:18
			common terms. So when you're doing dawah with
		
00:02:18 --> 00:02:20
			the non Muslim, you should come to common
		
00:02:20 --> 00:02:22
			terms and the most important is Allah.
		
00:02:22 --> 00:02:23
			That
		
00:02:23 --> 00:02:24
			we worship them but Allah.
		
00:02:25 --> 00:02:27
			I tell to all my Da'i students.
		
00:02:28 --> 00:02:30
			While doing Da'wah, you can start with with
		
00:02:30 --> 00:02:32
			science and with history. No problem. But your
		
00:02:32 --> 00:02:34
			main focus should be
		
00:02:34 --> 00:02:35
			tahid.
		
00:02:35 --> 00:02:37
			If you cannot remove the shirk
		
00:02:37 --> 00:02:39
			from the life of that non Muslim, your
		
00:02:39 --> 00:02:40
			dawah is useless.
		
00:02:40 --> 00:02:42
			You may convince him I'll call his haram.
		
00:02:42 --> 00:02:44
			You may convince poke his haram. He may
		
00:02:44 --> 00:02:46
			stop his adultery. He may stop with riba,
		
00:02:46 --> 00:02:49
			but he does not stop shirk. Your dawah
		
00:02:49 --> 00:02:49
			is useless.
		
00:02:50 --> 00:02:51
			He will not go to Jannah.
		
00:02:51 --> 00:02:53
			So as a day, your main aim should
		
00:02:53 --> 00:02:56
			be tawhid. You can start with commonalities,
		
00:02:56 --> 00:02:59
			science, no problem. But your main aim should
		
00:02:59 --> 00:03:01
			be tawhid. If you do not instill tawhid
		
00:03:02 --> 00:03:02
			and remove
		
00:03:03 --> 00:03:03
			the shirk
		
00:03:04 --> 00:03:06
			from the non Muslim or Dawah use this.
		
00:03:06 --> 00:03:08
			And the most important surah,
		
00:03:09 --> 00:03:11
			the concept of tawheed is Surah class, chapter
		
00:03:11 --> 00:03:13
			number 112, verse number 1 to 4, we
		
00:03:13 --> 00:03:14
			said,
		
00:03:15 --> 00:03:17
			says Allah 1 and only. Allah.
		
00:03:17 --> 00:03:19
			Allah, the absolute internal.
		
00:03:20 --> 00:03:22
			He begets not nor he's begotten. Then
		
00:03:24 --> 00:03:25
			They're nothing like him. This is a full
		
00:03:25 --> 00:03:27
			line definition of Allah,
		
00:03:28 --> 00:03:30
			which is given in the glorious Quran. Any
		
00:03:30 --> 00:03:32
			person saying so and so candidate is God.
		
00:03:32 --> 00:03:34
			If that candidate fits in the full line
		
00:03:34 --> 00:03:35
			definition,
		
00:03:35 --> 00:03:38
			we Muslims have got no objection in accepting
		
00:03:38 --> 00:03:40
			that candidate as God. Number 1,
		
00:03:41 --> 00:03:43
			say the love and lonely. Number 2,
		
00:03:44 --> 00:03:44
			Allah.
		
00:03:44 --> 00:03:46
			Allah is absolute eternal.
		
00:03:57 --> 00:03:58
			In identifying
		
00:03:58 --> 00:03:59
			Allah.
		
00:03:59 --> 00:04:01
			This is the litmus test.
		
00:04:01 --> 00:04:04
			It is the touchstone of theology
		
00:04:04 --> 00:04:06
			and doing Dawah is a further in Islam.
		
00:04:07 --> 00:04:09
			Surah Al Asar upon Imam Shafi.
		
00:04:09 --> 00:04:12
			If this Surah alone was revealed, it would
		
00:04:12 --> 00:04:14
			have been sufficient for Isaiah. Allah says in
		
00:04:14 --> 00:04:16
			Suri Asar chapter 1, 3, waslam 1, 2,
		
00:04:16 --> 00:04:18
			3. I would like to end my talk
		
00:04:18 --> 00:04:19
			with the Surah.
		
00:04:26 --> 00:04:28
			By the token of time, man is wellily
		
00:04:28 --> 00:04:30
			in a state of loss, except those who
		
00:04:30 --> 00:04:33
			have faith, those who have righteous deed, those
		
00:04:33 --> 00:04:34
			who exert people to truth, and those who
		
00:04:34 --> 00:04:36
			exert people to patient and for saving. There
		
00:04:36 --> 00:04:39
			are minimum 4 criteria for any human being
		
00:04:39 --> 00:04:41
			to go to Jannah. Number 1, iman. Number
		
00:04:41 --> 00:04:43
			2, righteous deed. Number 3,
		
00:04:44 --> 00:04:46
			that is Dawah and Isla. And number 4,
		
00:04:47 --> 00:04:49
			inviting people to patience and perseverance. You may
		
00:04:49 --> 00:04:51
			be a very good Muslim. You may be
		
00:04:51 --> 00:04:53
			offering 5 times salah. You may be giving
		
00:04:53 --> 00:04:55
			zakat. You may be fasting in the month
		
00:04:55 --> 00:04:56
			of Ramadan. You may have gone for Hajj.
		
00:04:56 --> 00:04:58
			But if you don't do dawah,
		
00:04:58 --> 00:05:00
			appoint us, sir, you shall not enter Jannah.
		
00:05:01 --> 00:05:03
			If Allah wants to forgive you and put
		
00:05:03 --> 00:05:06
			you in Jannah, that's Allah prerogative. Allah's prerogative.
		
00:05:06 --> 00:05:09
			But under normal circumstances, if you don't do
		
00:05:09 --> 00:05:11
			dawah, you will not enter Jannah. You have
		
00:05:11 --> 00:05:13
			to be minimum part time,
		
00:05:13 --> 00:05:14
			but the best
		
00:05:14 --> 00:05:16
			is a full time. I'd like to end
		
00:05:16 --> 00:05:18
			my talk. The implication
		
00:05:18 --> 00:05:21
			of tawhid in human life. The best profession.
		
00:05:21 --> 00:05:24
			Allah says in Suri Fusilat chapter 41 was
		
00:05:24 --> 00:05:26
			number 33 and my talk. Woman has
		
00:05:31 --> 00:05:32
			Who is better in speed than one who
		
00:05:32 --> 00:05:34
			invites to the way of thy Lord? Works
		
00:05:34 --> 00:05:35
			righteousness
		
00:05:35 --> 00:05:37
			and say I am a Muslim.
