This video was sponsored by Muslim Mastery, inshallah, to build confidence in speaking.
00:00:17.300
Confidence is very important. Confidence was one of the things that led me to this time.
00:00:21.120
Not my own confidence, but the confidence of Zakhir Naik, Ahmed Dira.
00:00:24.160
The confidence that he had in his religion made me realize, why is he so sure about what he's speaking?
00:00:29.420
So guys, when it comes to confidence and how to speak, you need this in marriage, work, colleagues, friends, giving dawah.
00:00:35.040
So brothers and sisters, many dais have also taken this course, inshallah.
00:00:37.580
Please check in the link below. Let's get straight to the video.
00:00:42.380
Assalamualaikum warahmatullahi wabarakatuh, brothers and sisters and dear friends.
00:00:44.640
I came across a video on Instagram of sister Aisha Mercedes.
00:00:48.660
Her mom reacting, her mom's a non-Muslim, reacting to Mufti Meng.
00:00:53.440
So here's a video we're going to watch for ourselves, inshallah.
00:00:54.880
I find it very profound because a lot of the times when it comes to dawah and how we make Islam look,
00:01:00.260
some of the things about how much Qur'an you know, how much you recite, etc.
00:01:04.500
But it boils actually back down to how one carries himself, akhlaq and adab, character.
00:01:09.820
And the Prophet said so much important stuff about this.
00:01:11.600
So here's the video we're going to be reacting where Mufti Meng surprises Aisha's mother,
00:01:17.980
And let's see what we can take from this because I think there's some really important reminders, inshallah.
00:01:20.780
So here is the video. Let's get into it, inshallah.
00:01:22.500
He's obviously been doing it for a long time because...
00:01:25.660
But I don't know if I kept that one. He was really, really young.
00:01:35.620
Or not get angry or something, which I thought that'd be good for you.
00:01:41.680
You just popped up. I get a lot of things. But what goes with you?
00:01:47.360
Yeah, he's really good. He's got a good personality. He's fun with it and stuff.
00:01:51.560
Yeah, you see, I take it to people straight away, otherwise not.
00:01:55.220
People like him, the way he tells whatever he's telling, it would attract a lot of people, I would think.
00:02:03.280
There's a lot that I hear and I think, yeah, you're probably talking to him.
00:02:05.840
Not many of them would I listen to, no matter what we're talking about.
00:02:11.100
It's not like, I can't understand, like, he's talking so much.
00:02:14.880
I speak long words that I can't understand while he's talking, but he's very, very full of people and talking like everybody could understand.
00:02:22.280
And he sounds very genuine to me and believes in what he's saying.
00:02:25.920
He's not just preaching it. He's explaining things.
00:02:28.340
So anything of this that comes on, I like to listen to.
00:02:44.740
And you know I'm not listening, obviously, but I really find the way you talk.
00:02:49.240
How do you, how do you get so open-minded and wise?
00:03:00.020
Because I have watched quite a few people and I haven't really, they haven't stood out for me.
00:03:07.020
You know, to be honest with you, they are, they are a few of them.
00:03:12.900
So maybe what you're saying, perhaps there is some form of a connection between us.
00:03:20.080
It kind of, the way you say things, it's believable.
00:03:24.980
It so hits me like, yeah, I could listen to this person.
00:03:30.120
I'm really fussy about, you know, because not everyone tells the truth.
00:03:37.100
Sometimes I have to improve on some of the, maybe some of the stuff.
00:03:49.400
But we have to put ourselves in the shoes of others when we're talking to them.
00:03:59.040
That was pleasant to see because at the end of the day, I have non-Muslim family members.
00:04:02.760
And if, I mean, I would be really happy if, I mean, if my dad was to watch someone that's an Islamic influence or whatever, which he doesn't.
00:04:11.680
But if he was like, you know, touched by someone who was like, you know what, okay, look, I have my opinions about Islam and whatever it is.
00:04:17.360
But this one person, yeah, you know, I would try my best to get that person at all costs to speak to my dad.
00:04:23.020
Because to me, that's like, maybe that is the missing key to my dad accepting Islam or any other family member for that matter.
00:04:29.120
So to me, I would have done exactly the same thing.
00:04:35.360
But there's a few things we need to understand because the Prophet Muhammad, peace be upon him, said,
00:04:38.300
I came for nothing but a perfect good character.
00:04:42.720
It's from Imam Khari when it comes to, it's called Al-Adab al-Mufad.
00:04:45.760
It talks about the akhlaq and manis of your dealings with variety of things.
00:04:50.560
And it's so important because many times we are told that a person of good etiquette, good akhlaq.
00:04:57.320
A person who'd be praying qiyam, fasting, extra fasting and doing all the extra stuff, but has ill manners, will enter the fire.
00:05:07.840
And a person who does the basics, but has good akhlaq and manis, will enter Jannah.
00:05:13.060
The Prophet, peace be upon him, said, the two things that be heavy on your maqiyamah are tawheed and one's good manners.
00:05:21.580
Good manners is not saying, oh, please, thank you, how are you?
00:05:24.020
The Prophet had the utmost brilliant character.
00:05:27.900
So much so, it was an evidence to the wahee being sent to him.
00:05:33.360
Because people are like, how could it be this person who doesn't lie?
00:05:37.080
That's why when he got the revelation and he came down and he said, cover me, cover me, I don't know what's going on.
00:05:48.540
Do you see how she connected his character, his akhlaq, his adab, the way he carries himself, to Allah has got your back.
00:05:56.320
In today's time, you have Muslims who pray, who read Quran, who wear hijab, who grow beard, who wear thaw, etc.
00:06:02.500
You look at the akhlaq and adab, it's got nothing to do with Islam, bro.
00:06:10.460
You look at the adab and adab, you think to yourself, if this person became a Muslim, wow, amazing.
00:06:20.040
You start to have good manners with Allah by not associating partners to him, by not saying Allah has a son.
00:06:33.520
This is having ill, bad manners with Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala.
00:06:44.780
The Prophet Muhammad sallallahu alayhi wa sallam.
00:06:47.000
By saying sallallahu alayhi wa sallam is showing your good manners to the Messenger of Allah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam.
00:06:53.080
Not, yeah, it's our Quran, only Muslim sunnah, whatever it is.
00:06:57.380
You try to abide by his sunnah to the best of your ability.
00:07:03.640
When is the last time you checked on your neighbors?
00:07:05.100
When is the last time you went to your neighbors and said,
00:07:17.500
They came to Islam via Yemeni traders who would go and trade with them.
00:07:20.760
And they were so upholders of honesty and transaction.
00:07:27.280
It was a ripple effect of people coming to Islam.
00:07:34.720
So, and then after that, one's good manners is with their self.
00:07:48.300
You say to yourself, is this good manners within myself?
00:07:52.960
The ones, have you seen the ones who, they wrong their self.
00:07:58.420
So, all I want to say, Brahman Sis, I want to wrap up on this, inshallah, is.
00:08:01.800
May Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala guide her mother, inshallah, because at the end of the day,
00:08:04.680
I know how it is to have a parent that's a non-Muslim and you're scared.
00:08:07.940
If they die in that, I'm not going to make dua for them.
00:08:13.200
So, the full video is on Sis Aisha Matej's channel.
00:08:16.120
But in the meantime, Brahman Sisters, let's have good manners, good akhlaa, good adhaf, inshallah.
00:08:19.680
And may Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala bless Mufti Malk and the works that he's doing.
00:08:23.860
And forgive him for the shortcomings that we all do, inshallah.
00:08:26.940
And make dua for the sisters, mother, inshallah, she accepts Islam.
00:08:32.040
May Allah make us uphold this of good akhlaaq and good adhaf.
00:08:34.540
That people see Islam in us rather than hear it.
