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.
