Lessons from Sheikh

“Basically, our da’wah is in our behavior. One has to call to Islam none except himself! One does not have to tell anyone to observe Islam if he follows the religion himself. The people would follow our example.”

 

“We should show goodwill, be merciful and honest towards each other, and remember the importance of true worship of the Almighty, which would serve as our personal example in demonstrating the beauty and purity of Islam.”

 

“Imams are those people who induce and call people to do good and warn against the condemned and forbidden. But for this call to be heard and useful, the theologian first of all must himself follow what he preaches.”

 

“The sphere of spiritual and moral work is a very responsible nowadays. Thus, one should be an example for others. He must be tactful and merciful to the people and respect the needs of those who turn to him. It is very important to ennoble the morals and try to be a true Muslim. It is also necessary for us to keep our mosques in order and create favorable conditions for the believers. Every one of us must love the region and its people. The people would follow those who are good-natured. Thus, one should ennoble his morals and follow the Sunnah of the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ. May Allah give us strength and health, so that we could work for the benefit of Islam and the content of the Allah!”
