AsalaamuAlaykum,
Bismillah, Hope this reaches ya’ll in the highest state of health and iman inshAllah,
Well just reading through this thread and glancing over the opinions of the users wallahi does make you think, SubhanAllah the disunity in our community wow I cant even emphasise what a rut of a Ummah we are in, May Allah make the trials easy for us and give us tawfeeq to deal with such hardships that overcome us and enable us to change the state we are in Ameen, The hadith you stated Abd’Majid in your first post about the companion who reverted several men, Yano it makes you cry why the beings of this Earth have this sort of fear in giving dawah, I am personally telling my own viewpoint, As I have stated in other posts I didn’t take any interest in seeking ilm about Islam and coming closer to deen, I was brainwashed by this sick western thinking that you should just live life on the edge and with shaytan at begging you night and day to disobey Allah its hard coming to terms with the reality.
Afraid to give dawah? Me personally feel at times when confronted by atheists/agnostics I don’t have enough knowledge myself to be waffling on, However I do try my best when confronted by peeps asking me, I can honestly say I do but that’s not a matter of not doing it, it’s a matter of having the ability to do so. On occasions as I said I don’t feel I have enough ilm myself to be shouting my mouth off, I gotta fix up myself otherwise all I say will sound hypocritical.
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?
Yano glory be to Allah who made you acknowledge this, Listen iman comes in different levels, don’t give yourself a hard time, subhanAllah quite rightly we are not as pure as the Sahabah etc but if you really struggle and try to do everything fi sabilillah then MashAllah and as for your sins akhi, Allah decreed his mercy overcomes His anger and yano just do the best you can on this dunya and seek His forgiveness, the first step to giving dawah is checking you’re implementing it yourself!...This is surely Allah testing your patience and iman, akhi do your best to give dawah to them, do your utmost best, try try try and try again, do du’aa then and only then do you leave it to Allah [SWT]…the people of this worl can only be helped to the extent Allah has decreed…InshAllah He guides them to the True path! Ameen thumma Ameen
In all honesty I know for defo I am not fulfilling my duties as a muslimah and aint helping the ummah but quite rightly I aint a knoweldgable gyal myself and I need to attain dawah myself, I’m a sinner in this dunya as are we all but I know Imma let down, and I don’t compare to some gyals I know mashAllah @ them, but wallahi I think I am however on the right path as I have taken this into account and inshAllah do du’aa for me that I fix maslf up…before its too late …
InshAllah my last advise would be to practice what you preach
Uzkurni fi du’aa ikum wal muslimeena wal muslimaat
MashAllah all you brothers and sisters who have highlighted this issue, May Allah reward you!...
