My heart is torn between East and West. I live somewhere between the present and the past. I don't know who I am.
Narrated by ‘Abdullah bin ‘Amr - The Prophet (PBUH) said:
“Convey (what you have learned from me ) even if it is only one verse.” [Bukhari, Volume 4, Book 56, Number 667]
Don’t ever use a lack of knowledge as an excuse for not telling others about Islam. Dawah can be as simple as telling someone that you’re Muslim That could be the instigating factor for them to go and find out more about Islam. Many people are just ignorant about Islam and that does not translate into a lack of intelligence on their part bur rather a lack of information.
The only responsibility of the messenger is to propagate a message clearly. It’s not your job to convert people to Islam, guidance comes from Allah. Therefore, you should seize every opportunity to make dawah, follow the example of Prophet Yusuf (PBUH) who made dawah even when he was in prison!
The Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) said: “Charity is prescribed for each descendant of Adam every day the sun rises.” He was then asked: “From what do we give charity every day?” The Prophet answered: “The doors of goodness are many…enjoining good, forbidding evil, removing harm from the road, listening to the deaf, leading the blind, guiding one to the object of his need, hurrying with the strength of one’s legs to one in sorrow who is asking for help, and supporting the feeble with the strength of one’s arms- all of these are charity prescribed for you.” He also said: “Your smile for your brother is charity.”
It doesn’t hurt to smile, you get so many people nowadays who are so caught up in their own little world, that they completely forget about the world that revolves around them and everyone within it. Someone might really need that smile today, imagine the difference a smile can make to their day.
Smile, it’s charity =)
