The call to enjoin the truth and enjoin patience
0:14
Allah, the Exalted, says: "By time, indeed, mankind is in loss."
0:20
“Save those who believe and do good works, and exhort one another to truth and exhort one another to endurance.” (103:3)
0:29
And the plural form, "and they enjoined upon each other the truth and enjoined upon each other patience."
0:34
This implies that the call to truth requires the cooperation, gathering, consultation, and coordination of reformers among themselves.
0:44
Individual calls are not sufficient, and concerning this, Allah, the Almighty, says:
0:50
"And let there be from you a nation [as] inviting to good, enjoining what is right and forbidding what is wrong."
0:55
And the Prophet, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, said:
0:58
"A group from my Ummah will continue to be victorious upon the truth,"
1:03
"those who forsake them will not harm them until the Hour comes, and they are thus."
1:09
Narrated by Muslim.
1:11

1:17
is among the most important means and methods of calling to Allah.
1:21
For the enemies fight the religion of Islam and its people through cooperation and planning among themselves.
1:28
And they devise wicked plans for that.
1:31
So, it is not correct to confront them with individual efforts.
1:35
Rather, a collective confrontation is necessary.
