The BIGGEST sunnah

Sometimes I wonder why am I doing this, write, I mean. Why do I write? Why do I want to share about things that I understand about Islam? Why do I do all these things that seemed endless and somewhat pointless to some people?

Because Rasulullah did it.

Da’wah or calling people to good is simply the biggest sunnah ever which we fail to realize most of the time.

We don’t breed gold or money by doing da’wah but we hope, by carrying out his sunnah and His message, we would breed people who, like the famous sahaba, Umar al Khattab r.a., once said, ‘youth’ that worth more than a room filled with gold, youth that understand the meaning of Islam and not simply a Muslim by noun.

Why do the Muslims of Makkah readily surrender their life the moment they are required to do so, be it to protect Rasulullah or when they are tormented for accepting Islam as their way of life?

Remember the story of Sumayyah and her family, remember Bilal saying ‘Ahad’ continuously even when he was tormented by his owner in the middle of the desert. We would think that these people must have been out of their minds, devoting themselves to a religion that is new to the people at that time.

Yes, they were out of their minds by logic, but it is only because they visualize Jannah in front of their eyes, as real as anything that we can see, and they believe in Allah’s promise that He will not forsake the people who is steadfast in His religion.

MashaAllah!

InshaAllah I am able to understand, perhaps a little bit of what they felt about Islam though my tests were not as severe because that is the limit that I am able to face by Allah’s decree.

Doing da’wah is not for nought, that, I can say as much.

This life is nothing but a mirage so live well, be of benefit to others and make your short stay worthwhile.
