After watching an Ahmed Deedat video i cant stop feeling like im just a waste and a half!
We are capable of changing a whole nation, Islam has been completed by Rasullulah saws, through one man, Abu Dharr al-ghifari a TWO WHOLE tribes accepted islam. THROUGH ONE MAN!
Why does it feel like no-one does enough in propagating the message?
[PIE]
That was because there came to them messengers with Clear Signs, but they said: "Shall (mere) human beings direct us?" So they rejected (the Message) and turned away. But Allah can do without (them): and Allah is free of all needs, worthy of all praise. [/PIE]
This makes it too clear that Allah does not need us, his religion will prevail with his will and his will alone. But only will we get benefit from helping, we should see it as an honour to give dawa as much as we can! YET IT SEEMS LIKE WE ARE AFRAID SOMEWHAT TO GIVE DAWA? Why is this?
Im not even gonna lie, at work i see so much sin and i only express a tiny bit of my disgust towards it, IS THIS THE HEIGHT OF MY IMAAN?
A famous hadith:
[PIE]SAHIH MUSLIM
Book 001, Number 0079:
It is narrated on the authority of Tariq b. Shihab: It was Marwan who initiated (the practice) of delivering khutbah (address) before the prayer on the 'Id day. A man stood up and said: Prayer should precede khutbah. He (Marwan) remarked, This (practice) has been done away with. Upon this Abu Sa'id remarked: This man has performed (his duty) laid on him. I heard the Messenger of Allah as saying: He who amongst you sees something abominable should modify it with the help of his hand; and if he has not strength enough to do it, then he should do it with his tongue, and if he has not strength enough to do it, (even) then he should (abhor it) from his heart, and that is the least of faith.[/PIE]
How many of us do this? In all honesty? Seriously? Whats wrong with us that we cant get ourselves to change what we see with our tongues or hand, the majority would just feel the disgust in our hearts. InshaAllah please brothers and sisters for the good of this Ummah lets try act as though only Allah see's us, who cares if the world mocks and jeers! Tomorrow i will act upon what i say here inshaAllah, at work i will act out with my tongue at least if not with my hand!
Oh and Amirs are no acception!
[PIE]
SAHIH MUSLIM
Book 020, Number 4569:
It has been narrated on the authority of Umm Salama that the Messenger of Allah (may peace be upon him) said: In the near future there will be Amirs and you will like their good deeds and dislike their bad deeds. One who sees through their bad deeds (and tries to prevent their repetition by his band or through his speech), is absolved from blame, but one who hates their bad deeds (in the heart of his heart, being unable to prevent their recurrence by his hand or his tongue), is (also) fafe ( so far as God's wrath is concerned). But one who approves of their bad deeds and imitates them is spiritually ruined. People asked (the Holy Prophet): Shouldn't we fight against them? He replied: No, as long as they say their prayers.[/PIE]
Our nation has become so westernized and used to the constant sinning that we seem to have stopped acting out towards it. From now on even if i see my boss drinking or smoking i will inshaAllah at least say:
"You are only damaging yourself and those around you, dont you see no good comes out of what you do?"
Lets all try to act on this inshaAllah.
PS: Im sry if this offends anyone, i just really felt as though i had to let it out!

Lol @ Moses!!
I own most of Ahmed Deedat dvds. Muhammad in the bible is one of my favourites. Brother, you should watch the debate between Ahmed Deedat and Anis Shorrosh Is Jesus God. If you felt motivated with Muhammad in the bibe you seriously will enjoy this debate. An alim told me when you watch debates don't listen to the christian side. Just so you know...
I seen that one sis, trust me im a HUGE Ahmed Deedat fan, i love the passion of that brother .

Ahmed deedat was zakir naiks teacher, zakir naik himself anounced his death and asked everyone to pray for him. Thats why zakir is top but in my honest opinion, the way Ahmed Deedat got his point across was better Alhamdullilah

Woww!!!!!!!! I didnt know that!!! Thats propa hevi!!!!!
He was paralysed before he died.. but even at that time Allah gave him the strength to communicate with christian missionaries and do dawaah, all the while from his chair.. May Allah's mercy be upon him.
I've given dawa to quite a lotta people at work through out the last few days, in all honesty can anyone else say anything similar? Please bro's sisters i encourage you, give dawa to everyone, even to an extremely practising muslim just encourage him to be better! Trust me it helps!!!!

In high school a few years ago I gave dawa to some of my teachers. They treated me like a freak and they seemed like they couldn't wait to get rid of me. Wasn't very successful...

JazakAllah u khairun brother, for sharing the video. It was my first Ahmed Deedat video, and MashaAllah he was a blessed speaker. And so true are his words. "Spineless" and suffering from a nasty bout of "inferiority complex".
May Allah(SWT) forgive us and guide our ummah. Aameen.
"O you who believe! What is the matter with you, that when you are asked to march forth in the Cause of Allah (i.e. Jihad) you cling heavily to the earth? Are you pleased with the life of this world rather than the Hereafter? But little is the enjoyment of the life of this world as compared with the Hereafter."
"If you march not forth, He will punish you with a painful torment and will replace you by another people, and you cannot harm Him at all, and Allah is Able to do all things." [9:38,39]
I know this ayat is in relation to those who were hesitant in joining in Jihad at the campaign of Tabuk. But I feel it applies to us as well. We fail at just following the truth and speaking the truth.
Spineless.
WAllahu Alim.
May Allah forgive me if Iam in error and guide me.
May Allah(SWT) forgive me and us all and guide us! Aameen.
JazakAllah again.
Alaikum Salaam
"Do ye enjoin right conduct on the people, and forget (To practise it) yourselves, and yet ye study the Scripture? Will ye not understand?" [2:44]
May Allah(SWT) forgive us and guide our ummah. Aameen.
AMEEN THUMMA AMEEN!!!

Sis jazakAllah khair wa barakAllah feekum that was an inspiration and a half wallahi!! its so true... wat is wrong wiv us.. let us find out and destroy it inshaAllah!
"If you march not forth, He will punish you with a painful torment and will replace you by another people, and you cannot harm Him at all, and Allah is Able to do all things."

Yeah, i think it can also apply to dawaah. I think we should also learn the correct way to do it. Are there any rules for dawah?
