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!

I know the question related to the 'Ya' is asked of anonymous.92, I hope she wont mind if I step in to answer. You say 'Ya' when you are directly addressing someone. For example, "Ya Allah". Literal translation is "OH Allah". The meaning is Iam directly calling upon Allah. In arabic when you call someone you say 'ya'. Like, 'Ya Akhi'='Oh brother'. 'Ya Ukhti'='Oh sister'. It is used always when you are directly addressing someone.
Now, since we believe that only Allah(SWT) is ever hearing, we can only use 'Ya' for Him. Since we also believe (atleast a faction of us) that the Prophet (SAWS) cannot hear us and is not ever present and hearing, to say 'Ya Muhammad (SAWS)' implies calling upon him directly. This is then wrong because, as said, only Allah(SWT) is all hearing and upon whom we can call on directly.
Just so you know, there is a group of muslims who use an ayat in the Quran to prove that prophet Muhammad (SAWS) is present and can here us today. If you will, research into it, and may Allah(SWT) guide us all. Aameen.
I hope it is clear.
WAllahu Alim.
May Allah(SWT) forgive me and us all and guide us. Aameen.
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]
Hope, InshaAllah, someone more knowledgable and able can answer.
WAllahu Alim.
Alaikum Salaam.
EDIT: Wa Iyyakum brother.
EDIT again: I hope someone more knowledgable can answer this because I just realized that the brothers sig is sending salaam on the Prophet(SAWS). We say this in our salaat as well. So Iam not a 100% sure anymore if it is wrong in this particular case. Sorry for any confusion brother Abd'Majid and sis Aalimah.
ask an imam
This would be great.

The alim didn't give me proof. But he is extremely knowledgeable. You can only use Ya if the person is present or alive. Muhammad pbuh is only human. He is neither present nor alive.
Yes,We Should do dacwa wherever ,whenever,
Most people think Dacwa is picking up a Mic n Lecturing to ppl
We Shold practice Islam to the best of our abilities,ppl will be attracted to Islam then,,,
Like,one tyme my tutor told me, i had to come the next day no matter wat,I told her i'll come INSHALLAH,At first she was uncormfortable,i translated it to her,I CAN COME ONLY IF GOD WILLS,meaning i have no power watsoever,it wasn't upto me,
I also love the leaflets of harun yahya,wAMY Mashallah,it occured to me more that once to give it to non muslims,but something holds me back,first i think they'll tear it apart,n they contain Quranic verses,
I feel a bit dodgy about harun yahya, why must he always put music in his DVD's .
Also i understand about the ripping quranic ayyat, but didnt the prophet saws send out letters to kings with "Laa illaha illala wa muhammadur rasullulah" written on it?

na3am akhee..also with the "Basamalah" on it aswell
then we should put our trust in Allah and not fear doing the same as the perfect role model had done. Recently i thought of distributing CD's with beautiful recitation and talks to non-muslims.InshaAllah more people should try doing this...

could you give me this Aalim's name ukhti or where ever it was you got this information from
BarakAllahu feek Sis
Errmmm I don't think you will know him as he he is not famous and doesn't want to be.
But if you are doubtful remember what Shaikh Abdul Qadir Jilani said that when you are in doubt regarding a matter in Islam just don't do it.
Sorry.. Not exact phrase...
