In the name of God, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful
We are pleased at Sheikh Hasa Islamic Center
To present to our valued listeners
Reading a book
Muslim treasure
In the virtue of calling to God
Written by John Yaar Bamerni
Calling people to God is the greatest job
And abandoning it is the greatest punishment
The penalties for abandoning the call are many
Including first
Replacement
God Almighty said
If you turn away, he will replace you with a people other than you
Then they will not be like you
Secondly
Cursing and deprivation of God's mercy
God Almighty said
Cursed are those who disbelieved among the Children of Israel
On the tongue of David and Isa bin Maryam
That is because they disobeyed and transgressed
They would not refrain from the evil they did
What they were doing was miserable
Third
Enmity and hatred
God Almighty said
And from those who said
We are Christians who have taken their covenant
They forgot luck
They forgot a portion of what they were reminded of
So we induced enmity and hatred among them
Until the Day of Resurrection
And God will inform them of what they were doing
Fourth
Destruction and destruction
God Almighty said
When they forgot what they were reminded of
We opened the doors to everything for them
Even if they are happy
Even when they rejoice in what they were given
We took them by surprise
So they are confused
He cut off the roots of the people who had wronged
Praise be to God, Lord of the worlds
Fifth
Division, disagreement, and torment in this world and the hereafter
God Almighty said
And let there be a nation among you who calls to goodness
And they enjoin what is right
And they forbid evil
And those are the successful ones
And do not be like those who became divided
They disagreed after clear evidence came to them
And for those will be a great punishment
If a nation abandons the call, it will suffer three calamities
The first is to care about this world and neglect the afterlife
The second is spending money, time, and thoughts on things other than the interests of religion
The third is to imitate the infidels in their way of life
And they have to learn to transfer their way of life to Muslim countries
If the call to God is established, all the doors of goodness are opened
Faith and good deeds enter people's lives
Good morals include patience and forgiveness
And kindness and mercy in their lives
And the infidels enter the religion
The disobedient enters into acts of obedience
If we do not call to God
All the doors of evil were opened
All evil entered and all good came out
And if faith, good deeds and good morals come out
In its place came disbelief, corrupt work, and bad morals
Then in the end people leave the religion of God in droves
They also entered it in crowds
God's Sunnah
You will not find any change in the Sunnah of God
Every Muslim is responsible
God will hold him accountable for his unilateral action
It is worship
And on social work
It is the call to God
God will question both the supplicant and the one being called on the Day of Resurrection
What they were doing in this world
God Almighty said
Let us ask those to whom it was sent
Let us ask the messengers
Let us narrate to them with knowledge while we were absent
The weight on that day will be correct
Those whose scales are heavy are the ones who are successful
And those whose scales are light are those who have lost their souls
Because they wronged Our verses
And God Almighty said
And the afternoon
Man is in loss
Except those who believe and do righteous deeds
And exhort one another to truth and exhort one another to patience
Our nation in this time has become a weak and targeted nation
Nations claimed it
The eaters also quarreled over their bowl
Because Muslims are negligent in enjoining good deeds
Then ignorance and sin began to spread
Who would be willing to copy the characteristics of believers?
Those who enjoin good and forbid evil
There is no doubt that no sane Muslim wants this situation for himself
Ibn al-Qayyim, may God have mercy on him, said
What religion and what good is there in them?
He sees God's prohibitions violated
His boundaries are lost and his religion is abandoned
And the Sunnah of His Messenger, may God bless him and grant him peace, is rejected
He is cold-hearted and silent
Dumb devil
Also, the one who speaks falsehood is a speaking devil
Is the calamity of religion except one of these?
Who if their food and leadership are handed over to them
There is no caring about what happened to religion
And these, despite their fall from the eyes of God
And God hates them
They have been afflicted with the greatest calamity in this world
And they do not feel
It is the death of hearts
The heart, the more complete its life
His anger toward God and His Messenger was stronger
And his victory for religion is complete
The nation will not achieve its goodness
She attains her glory, honor and dignity
She wins with her prosperity and success
Unless its members, men and women, stand up
Everyone can do their best to spread goodness
So by doing this and rushing to it
And preferring God’s pleasure over the world
And communicating the truth and cooperating in it
Each according to his situation
Which would be a reason for his satisfaction
He brought all good and repelled all evil
And by being deceived by the world and its adornments
And neglect of God
Refraining from commands and prohibitions
Humiliation, humiliation and shame occur
In this world and the hereafter
Anxiety and distress occur
Blessings are taken away and curses befall
May God have mercy on those who help in religion
Even half a word
But destruction
In abandoning what the servant is able to do
From the call to this religion
Look at your situation
What does God keep you busy?
If he uses you for his religion
So stand firm
Perhaps this is one of the reasons why he loves you
Even if you spend your energy and time
And your money is just for the world
So hurry to hold yourself accountable
Before it's too late
Only those who hate it should fail. Oh God, resurrect him
Even if they wanted to leave
They prepared for him
But God hated sending them
So he discouraged them and it was said that they sat with those who were sitting
And you don't know
Perhaps God discouraged them from preaching
Or providing services to its people
Because God Almighty knows their hypocrisy
And their deception of Islam and its people
And if they had participated with them
They harmed them and did not benefit them
Who is the preacher?
Who gave a smile
Or a gift or a book
Or the knowledge of an ignorant person
Or enjoin good and forbid evil
Or give a speech
Or send a clip on social media
And all this with the intention of calling
He is an advocate
This is the grace of God, which He gives to whomever He wishes
God is of great bounty
The smart bag
He does not stop praying as long as his heart beats
If he encounters an obstacle or is unable to find his way
Search for another
steadfast until he meets his Lord
Calling people to God causes harm
From her
Hypocrisy and insincerity
And eat the world with religion
And selling the words of God and His Messenger for a fee
The call to self and the love of fame
And calling for a diet of ignorance and fanaticism
Like someone who calls for a party, sect, or group
He does not accept invitations from anyone else
God commanded us to call to Him and not to call to anything else
And everyone who left the foundations of the call
He called as he pleased
It is plagued with many pests
Including self-praise
And wonder and pride
And keen on prestige and position
And contempt for others
And consider the faults of those calling to God
And spending on his desires
Leave spending on debt
The duties and good deeds became burdensome for him
And expand the permissible things
He found it easy for him to waste time arguing and lusting
God Almighty said
When they forgot what they had been reminded of, We opened them
The doors of everything even if they rejoice
Even when they rejoice in what they were given
We caught them suddenly, and they were paralyzed
He cut off the roots of the people who had wronged
Praise be to God, Lord of the worlds
Al-Fawzan said frankly
May God protect him
If some people do not praise and encourage
Leave the invitation
This is evidence that he does not call to God
Rather, he calls to himself
