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
Dawah is the best of words and deeds
The call to God
The best deeds and the best words
God Almighty said
Who is better in speech than he who calls to God?
He did good deeds and said that I was a Muslim
Al-Saadi, may God Almighty have mercy on him, said
In interpreting this verse
This is an interrogative in the sense of decided negation
That is, no one said it better
Any words, manner, or situation
Whoever calls to God
By teaching the ignorant
And bite the heedless and the vulnerable
And arguing with invalids
The command to worship God in all its forms
Encourage and improve it as much as possible
And rebuking what God has forbidden
And making it ugly in every way requires abandoning it
Especially from these
Calling for the origin and improvement of the religion of Islam
And argue with his enemies in a way that is best
And prohibiting the opposite of it, such as disbelief and polytheism
Enjoining good and forbidding evil
Al-Hasan Al-Basri said regarding this verse:
This is God's beloved
This is God's guardian
This is God's best
This is the most beloved of the people of the earth to God
God answered his call
He called people to what God answered his call
He did good in his answer
He said that I am a Muslim
This is God's successor
Good speech requires wisdom
God Almighty said
Invite to the path of your Lord with wisdom and good advice
And argue with them in a way that is best
Great reward and great reward
Among the virtues of advocacy is the great reward
Because preaching guides people to the truth
And guide them to their Lord and their deity, Glory be to Him
He kept them away from the causes of his anger and punishment
God Almighty loves that and rewards him
It was mentioned in the two Sahihs
That the Prophet, may God bless him and grant him peace
He said to Ali, may God be pleased with him
By God, God will guide one man through you
Better for you than red camels
This includes it in general
Guidance of non-Muslims
And the guidance of Al-Aas from the Muslims
So where is the seeker of His Excellency?
May God have mercy on the preacher
Supplication is a reason for the mercy of God Almighty
God Almighty says
And the believing men and believing women
Some of them are guardians of each other
They enjoin what is right
And they forbid evil
And they perform prayers
And they pay zakat
And they obey God and His Messenger
Those will God have mercy on them
God is Mighty, Wise
See how God made mercy
For those who have these qualities
By preaching, enjoining good, and forbidding evil
Our nation has become the best of nations
God Almighty said
You were the best nation ever created for mankind
You enjoin what is right
And they forbid evil
You enjoin what is right
And they forbid evil
And you believe in God
Ibn Kathir, may God have mercy on him, said
Who among this nation is characterized by these qualities?
Join them in praising and praising them
Omar bin Al-Khattab, may God be pleased with him, recited this verse
Then he said
Who is pleased to be from that nation?
Let God's condition be fulfilled in it
And whoever is not characterized by that
I liken the People of the Book whom God condemned to His saying
They would not refrain from the evil they had done
What they were doing was miserable
Mujahid said
You were the best nation ever created for mankind
On the conditions mentioned in the verse
And the conditions mentioned in the verse
It is enjoining what is right, forbidding what is wrong, and believing in God
In this verse, this nation is praised as long as they practice this and are characterized by it
Imam Al-Qurtubi said
If they abandon change and conspire in evil
The name of praise has disappeared from them
We give them the name of slander
This was the cause of their destruction
Scientists said
He prioritized enjoining good and forbidding evil over faith
Because belief in God is limited to those who believe
The one who enjoins good and forbids evil is a believer
And his faith went beyond that
So he spread what he believed in
Therefore, he was given precedence over all other believers
Atonement of sins also occurs through commands and prohibitions
As in the hadith of Hudhayfah bin Al-Yaman
The preacher is the best of people
It is enough that the preacher lives for Islam
He carries on his shoulders the greatest message
Thus, to be a successor to the prophets and messengers
Not someone who lives an empty life
There is no concern, no goal, and no message
The farmer in this world and the hereafter
The call to God is a reason for success in this world and the hereafter
God Almighty says
And among you there will be a nation who invite to good and enjoin what is right and forbid what is wrong.
And those are the successful ones
If they do it, they will become successful and among the elite of the believers
Firmness in religion
The call to God is one of the reasons for steadfastness in religion
God Almighty says
O you who believe, support us, may God support you and make your feet firm.
Let everyone who walked in the convoy of advocacy rejoice
May God grant him steadfastness in religion
And the strength to stick to it
Increased faith and complete certainty
Integrity and variety of good deeds
May God reward him for his advocacy efforts
Ibn al-Qayyim, may God have mercy on him, said
The servant’s guidance, education and advice to others
The door of guidance opens for him
Because the reward is of the type of work
The more he guided him, the more he changed and taught him
May God guide him and teach him
He will become a guide, a guide
Ibn al-Qayyim's letter to one of his brothers
Preachers are the most powerful and consistent people over time
This is something we see in our reality of great scholars
He read the news of scholars and prayed
Like Ahmed bin Hanbal
Who was victorious and served the religion on the day of strife
The fruit was his
May God make him steadfast in religion
And grant him patience with the temptation of imprisonment and flogging
This is Sheikh Al-Islam Ibn Taymiyyah
Who Nasr al-Din
With his writings in response to the followers of false religions and sects
Nasr al-Din sought to spread knowledge in all fields
The fruit was his
That God strengthened him when he was imprisoned
They are the strongest people who remain steadfast over time and changing circumstances
And in the most severe cases
The divine preacher
Who cares about his faith education
It balances between worship and advocacy
Between knowledge, work and education
He gives each side what it deserves
Of time, effort, money and attention
God will take care of your affairs
unanimously agreed upon by those working in the field of advocacy
Every time you put in this call
Your religious and worldly affairs are settled
Because you live for God, not for yourself
This is the ultimate sacrifice
So you will notice if you work sincerely
Ease and simplicity of life
Perhaps you remember what Dr. Al-Sumait’s wife said
It is in a scary place in Africa
You say, Abdul Rahman
Is the happiness of the people of Paradise like our happiness now?
So accustom your family to humility and sacrifice for the religion of God
Yes, it is a sacrifice to God
So what did we offer?
By calling to God
You gain heartfelt comfort
Do you find the joy of life?
If you don't find it, hurry
Throw yourself into this invitation
And the days will not go away
Until you find great comfort and relaxation
You will regret the days gone by
