Can't talk to them Kafirs?

Salaam brothers and sisters

 

You might be cursing and screaming at the news presenter insulting islam and muslims on the t.v screen.

 

You might be really vexed at the antislamic weblog which distorts the islamic teachings!

 

 

You might be angry at the antislamic professor at your Campus,the guy on the train that stares at you all funny or the rightwing newspaper that ridicules muslims everyday!

 

Your probably frustrated and asking yourself why don't they leave islam alone?

 

You might be asking yourself, why it is muslims are attacked in their own lands and then called terrorists?

 

Some of us will react in different ways!

 

Some of us will scream and rant like we are on the battlefield.Remember those muslims who torch embassies, burn flags and generally act like anarchists?

 

Some of us will literally hide our faces and pretend that nothing is happening!

 

Some of us will declare ourselves "moderate muslims" and appease the enemies of islam even thought they are openly insulting islam!

 

Do you remeber the story of Fircown(pharoah)?

 

The man who responded to the message of Monotheism like this:

 

They said, "Have you come to us to turn us from what we found our fathers doing, and to gain greatness in the land? We do not believe you." (Qur'an, 10: 78

 

Whom Allah swt described as:

 

to Pharaoh and his ruling circle. But they were proud and were a haughty people. (Qur'an, 23: 46)

 

The man who arrogantly claimed:

 

Pharaoh called to his people, saying, "My people, does the kingdom of Egypt not belong to me? Do not all these rivers flow under my control? Do you not then see?" (Qur'an, 43: 51)

 

The man whom Allah swt had described like this:

 

Pharaoh exalted himself arrogantly in the land and divided its people into camps, oppressing one group of them by slaughtering their sons and letting their women live. He was one of the corrupters. (Qur'an, 28: 4)

 

The man whom Musa a prophet of God was reluctant to meet:

 

They said, "Our Lord, we are afraid that he might persecute us or overstep the bounds." (Qur'an, 20: 45)

 

The man who even had the arrogance to declare this:

 

(, "I am your Lord Most High!" (Qur'an, 79: 24)

 

 

Despite all this Allah swt urged Musa and Harun calayhi salam to convey the message like this:

 

Go to Pharaoh; he has overstepped the bounds. But speak to him with gentle words so that hopefully he will pay heed or show some fear." (Qur'an, 20: 43-44 )

 

 

" Go to him and say, "We are your Lord's Messengers so send the tribe of Israel away with us and do not punish them. We have brought you a Sign from your Lord. Peace be upon those who follow the guidance." (Qur'an, 20: 47)

 

 

Do you remember the story of Musab Bin Umayr?

 

The youth who gave up his wealth for Islam!

 

The youth who was imprisoned by his own mother and cut of ties with his tribe,friends and even family!

 

The first envoy of Islam!

 

The youth who performed hijra for the sake of Allah subxana watacala and his prophet salalahu calayhi wasalam!

 

The wealthy youth who came back from Abysnia with torn clothes !

 

The youth who the prophet saw described like this:

 

 

"I have seen this Musab with his parents in Makkah. They lavished care and attention on him and gave him all comforts. There was no Quraysh youth like him. Then he left all that seeking the pleasure of God and devoting himself to the service of His Prophet."

 

The youth who bravely held up the banner of islam in the battle of Uhud and heroically left the dunya with words:

 

B]"Muhammad is only a Messenger. Messengers have passed away before him,"[/b]

 

The wealthy youth whom the prophet of Islam stood over and praised:

 

"Place the garment over his head and cover his feet and legs with the leaves of the idhkhir (rue) plant."

 

"Among the believers are men who have been true to what they have pledged to God."

The Messenger of God testifies that you are martyrs in the sight of God on the day of Qiyamah."

 

 

As-salaamu alayka yaa Musab... As-salaamu alaykum, ma'shar ash-shudhadaa.

As-salaamu alaykum wa rahmatullah wa barakatuhu.

Peace be on you, O Musab... Peace be on you all, O martyrs. .

Peace be on you and the mercy and blessings of God.

 

Have you heard the story of how this heroe of Islam reacted when one the chieftans of Medina insulted him?

 

Once Musab and Sad were sitting near a well in an orchard of the Zafar clan. With them were a number of new Muslims and others who were interested in Islam. A powerful notable of the city, Usayd ibn Khudayr, came up brandishing a spear. He was livid with rage. Sad ibn Zararah saw him and told Musab:

"This is a chieftain of his people. May God place truth in his heart." "If he sits down, I will speak to him," replied Musab, displaying all the calm and tact of a great daiy.

The angry Usayd shouted abuse and threatened Musab and his host. "Why have you both come to us to corrupt the weak among us? Keep away from us if you want to stay alive." Musab smiled a warm and friendly smile and said to Usayd: "Won't you sit down and listen? If you are pleased and satisfied with our mission, accept it and if you dislike it we would stop telling you what you dislike and leave.""That's reasonable," said Usayd and, sticking his spear in the ground, sat down. Musab was not compelling him to do anything. He was not denouncing him. He was merely inviting him to listen. If he was satisfied, well and good. If not, then Musab would leave his district and his clan without any fuss and go to another district.

Musab began telling him about Islam and recited the Quran to him. Even before Usayd spoke, it was clear from his face, now radiant and expectant, that faith had entered his heart. He said:

"How beautiful are these words and how true! What does a person do if he wants to enter this religion?"

"Have a bath, purify yourself and your clothes. Then utter the testimony of Truth (Shahadah), and perform Salat. Usayd left the gathering and was absent for only a short while. He returned and testified that there is no god but Allah and that Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah. He then prayed two rakats and said:

"After me, there is a man who if he follows you, everyone of his people will follow him. I shall send him to you now. He is 'Sad ibn Muadh."

Sad ibn Muadh came and listened to Musab. He was convinced and satisfied and declared his submission to God. He was followed by another important Yathribite, Sad ibn Ubadah. Before long, the people of Yathrib were all in a flurry, asking one another.

"If Usayd ibn Khudayr, Sad ibn Muadh and Sad ibn Ubadah have accepted the new religion, how can we not follow? Let's go to Musab and believe with him. They say that truth emanates from his lips."
