When actions speaks louder!

Character plays a major role of inviting mad3u to taqwa. You may be great in delivering speech but your action makes most of the effort of making mad3u conscious of Allah. There was a story of a muslim man. He was raised by a muslim family. But his family’s deen was some kind of complicated. It was totally mixed up with other religion. He grown up in New York and never really practicing Islam at that time. He used to get into fight with his mother, he went to jail, he used to be in mob gangs and all kind of stuff.

Later on, he repented and starts looking for god. As his name was muslim so he started to search about Islam. He started going to masjid and starts learning how to pray. One day his wife [who was not a muslim at that time] realized that his husband had changed. He was praying, beers was gone from the fridge, he was not going out with his drinking buddies and he did not spend his weekend in Atlantic City anymore. He was a different guy! And the guy did not tell anything to his wife. He didn’t even asked the wife to wear hijaab or to pray. 

The guy went to meet a scholar in their city. He told the scholar of their current situation that he was becoming more religious and her wife was still a christian. And he did asked for help! The scolar said ‘ Don’t say anything about islam. Just be the best husband you can be and to that, just study what kind of husband that our prophet had shown to us’. In the other word, just follow the sunnah!

At first he did make some argument with her wife about christianity but none of them really worked. 3 years goes by and he stops debating about christianity. He just be what he can be as the best husband. One day as he was making maghrib, his wife joint him in solah! He was totally curious and asked her after solah.

H: What happen?

W: No, nothing..

H: No you have to tell what’s going on.

W: It’s  complicated [like most women said]. Eventually the wife told the husband that she was really amazed with his husband. The way he treated their family. The way he plays with their child. It was totally different. She never saw a man treated their family like he was. Even his father was not so good to her. It was so beautiful. This religion can’t be wrong.

Subhanallah! You can see Islam in the way people communicate and socializing. It was’t just about being in masjid, remembering as many ayah of quran, spits out the knowledge at someone and how many qoutes of scholars you can deliver. It is about how are you living up your life. If people can see that, you are calling them to the taqwa. -UNAK-

I'm not so good when it comes to practical but do pray for me and tell me if I did anything wrong :)
