Kind: captions Language: en [Music] AC [Music] alhamdulillah the prophet am gave precedence to calling people to Islam over anything else and this is the core message of a messenger to call people to worshiping Allah Asel alone and not to associate others with him and to implement his commands his Shar it was reported that once a man came to the prophet in full armor and he said oh prophet of Allah should I fight with you or should I accept Islam so the man was not Muslim yet so he was asking should I join your forces and fight the enemy and then accept Islam or should I accept Islam first the prophet saidat accept Islam then fight with us so the man did that and fought till he was martyred the prophet saidat he did so little yet was rewarded a lot it was said that this was he was so often called to Islam and he would reject and refuse till the day of when the Battle of uh took place on that day he simply accepted Islam and went to fight so they found him among the wounded severely and badly so they said to him what had happened to you did you go out to fight just to avenge your people or what he said no I had an interest in Islam so I accepted Islam and this is what had happened to me and he died as a martyr and the prophet when he was told about him he said he is among the people of paradise therefore it's completely wrong from those who when encountering people interested in Islam they postpone their Islam they put hurdles in their face they tell women no if you accept Islam you have to divorce your husband and leave your family in order to make them certain of what they want to do but not knowing this would backfire and prevent a lot of them of them from accepting Islam we always tend to forget we're not judges we are callers and preachers to Islam the prophet Alat wasam used to ask those who reverted to Islam to convey the message to tell their people about our beautiful religion Malik may Allah be pleased with him said that when we went to the prophet and gave him the Pledge of Allegiance we stayed in Medina for 20 days or so then we learned the Quran and we learned the religion the prophet said to usat who was so merciful with us he said if you were to go back to your country then teach them how to pray the prayers in such times in the such format and whenever the Salat is due one of you has to call for the aan and one of you should lead the prayer now calling people to Islam is not a mission without any difficulty there might be some setbacks and these setbacks can be really severe for instance the prophet Alat once sent his companions and others with him two two tribes that pretended to be Muslims and when they reached that area and was called between mecah and asan they ambushed them betrayed them and 200 Idol worshippers fought against them one or two surrendered the rest fought until they were marted among them was may Allah be pleased with him and there was a bounty on his head so Allah protected his body by sending bees and hornets and when it was Nightfall when it was night there was rain and flood that took his body and hid it and people could not find it because they wanted to decapitate it and bring the head as a collect to collect the bounty on it also the prophet Alat sent 70 of his best companions to Ned so that they would call the tribes of it to Islam however the tribes leader betrayed them and killed them all now these setbacks did not prevent the Muslims from giving dawa it did not intimidate them and we had never heard anyone blaming Islam for their death like people people nowadays tend to do whenever someone does something good and there happens to be a setback to it they say ah this is all because of Islam this is all of because of your nikab this is all because you grew your beard and you committed to to your religion no these are tests from Allah all what we have to do is to comply and to fulfill our obligations and to O obey Allah's commands whatever happens this is part of the Divine decree and our result of the tests would be apparent on the day of judgment inshallah the prophet Al also sent his companions all over the place to teach people he sent mu and Abu musar to Yemen as teachers and preachers and judges and the prophet sallallahu alaihi wasallam those who were ignorant about the rulings of Islam he would not reprimand them he would not scold them or be harsh to them as in the case of that Nomad who urinated in the Masjid imagine someone coming and urinating in the middle of the Masid ignorance he spoke to him softly when he kept on eating and eating and eating until he could differentiate between a white thread and a black thread that he had on his pillow and not knowing that this white thread and black thread refers to the break of dawn in the midst of the darkness of the night the prophet taught him in a very gentle and kind way also may Allah be pleased with him when in the middle of the congregational prayer someone sneezed so he replied to him by saying and when people looked at him and at the time it was okay to look around and they gave him a stern look he complained and said why are you guys looking at me like this and he spoke loudly during the Salah so they started clapping on their thighs to shut him off and and not to speak after the prayer was over the prophet summoned himat he says by Allah there was no better teacher than him he did not scold me he was not rude with me he just simply said to me this prayer is not suitable for such Talk of the people and it's only for praising Allah glorifying Allah and reciting the Quran those among them who did well and offered a lot of good deeds he would give them the Glad Tidings even if these Good Deeds were pre Islam time may Allah be pleased with him before he became a Muslim at the time of Jah he set free 100 slaves and gave charity the worth of a 100 camels load so he says I ask the prophet Alam oh prophet of Allah these things that I I used to do for the sake of Allah before I became a Muslim I was an idol worshiper but I did it for the sake of Allah would I be rewarded for it and the prophet said to himam you have reverted to Islam and all what was in the past is going to be accredited to you and this is evidence that when a person accepts Islam whatever Good Deeds he did before he became Muslim would also be counted for him and he used to also praise and compliment those who become Muslims for what was in them so that even if they were not Muslim at the time it would encourage them to become Muslim like what the prophet did to when he said in you there are two characteristics that Allah loves perseverance and tolerance and this shows you how just and fair was the prophet unlike those ignorant imbeciles today who go around targeting famous Scholars and duat and celebrities if we must say among the Muslims who are doing a wonderful job calling people to Islam teaching them preaching them and the people love them yes nobody's perfect there has to be some and shortcomings here and there but it's not something essential it's not something to deal with nevertheless these people are like flies they only detect what's bad and they totally ignore the good work they had done no wonder these people are on great danger because they try to tarnish the reputation of good preachers and Scholars and students of knowledge only to promote their or their own Scholars and this is not the methodology of the Quran even the Quran Allah Asel praises the people of the scripture for their honesty and it says and among the people of the scriptures is he who if you entrust him with a great amount of wealth he will return it to you so Allah Asel praises the Christians and the Jews for their honesty and does not turn a blind eye to it like these people do and the prophet Alat wasam used to also give money to Those whom he think that it would draw them closer to Islam as in the Battle of thif when he was once overlooking a valley filled with sheep and next to him was a nomad with his jaw dropping and he said to him do you like this and The Nomad said of course great huge wealth and the prophet said it is yours so The Nomad took the money and rushed to his people saying to them oh people accept Islam for by Allah Muhammad gives the way of a person who does not fear poverty his generosity is unmatched and this shows you how the prophet sallallahu alaihi wasallam did not have this dun in his heart it did not control him rather he controlled it and he utilizes he utilized it to call people to Islam and for the sake of Allah and Allah Knows [Music] Best for [Music]
