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!

Brother the feeling your not doing enough is a sign of good iman we can all improve our iman, I understand where your comming from, I often travel by bus and it goes through the city centre when there I look out the windows as far as my eyes can see I see non-muslims this shows that were lucky to be muslims but were far from perfect in giving dawa and we should all at least try and give dawa as much as possable.
Yeah Ahmed Deedat videos makes you feel that way. Brother, which video did you watch? Also great article Mashallah
"Muhammad SAWS in the bible part 2", subhanAllah, its too true sis! Why cant we jus nicely tell people wats right and wrong? Why are we so afraid of being shunned by people? Should we not be more scared of being shunned by Allah?

I'm afraid if I watch it right now I might just burst out crying because I'm feeling very emotional after listening to some Qur'an and I am just not in the right time or place to be crying :'(
But it's true, this Ummah is in a sad state and desperately needs to start recollecting itself and standing up for Islaam.....May Allah help us all Ameen....

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...
