The Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) strived hard to build the Muslim nation, SubhanAllah (Glory be to Allah) he (peace be upon him) has succeeded in his struggle to convey the message. 'Say: Truly, my prayer and my service of sacrifice, my life and my death, are (all) for God, the Cherisher of the Worlds' [Qur'an 6:162]. Don't be a Muslim that has been crippled by the gaps in your knowledge in Islam. Be a part of this beautiful Ummah. Work together and help each other so that we can truly lead a life on the Straight Path.

ALWAYS REMEMBER
'I bear witness that there is none worthy of worship except Allah, the One, without any partner. And I bear witness that Muhammad (peace be upon him) is His servant and His messenger'

Da'wah- The MESSAGE

As-Salaamu Alayikum wa Rahmatilahi wa Barakatu,

My dear brothers and sisters from Islam, this page is dedicated to DAWAH with the help and guidance of my Lord Allah azawajal. It is an important part of life for a Muslim.

I am here to answer any questions on Islam to the best of my knowledge and of other Muslims Insha'Allah.
Da’wah is relaying the message given to you and inviting others to Islam, as explained by this verse in the glorious Qur’an

"Invite (all) to the way of thy Lord with wisdom and beautiful preaching; and argue with them in ways that are best and Most Gracious: for thy Lord knoweth best, who have strayed from his path, and who receive guidance ‘’ (Qur’an 16:125)

Islam has been slandered by the media and has been titled under terrorism but this is not true. Islam directly translates into peace and a Muslim is a person who submits themselves in god. Does this sound violent and dangerous? Find out the truth  and see the TRUE SPLENDOUR OF ISLAM.

Ask me for any questions that you may have and InshAllah I will answer with the best of my ability. Allow me to aid you to learn about the true religion InshAllah.
Do not make the media your only source of knowledge!

“Let there arise out of you a group of people inviting to all that is good (Islam), enjoining Al-Ma’ruf (i.e. Islamic Monotheism and all that Islam orders one to do) and forbidding Al-Munkar (polytheism and disbelief and all that Islam has forbidden). And it is they who are the successful.”(Qur’an 3:104)

Insha’Allah YOU will be able to join me and help me in bringing the TRUE RELIGION to the community and those interested in Islam, let us build this Ummah for the sake of Allah (swa) and his messenger (pbuh). Our duty as a Muslim is to pass on the message of Islam; it is to warn them of the truth which Allah azawajal has enlightened our heart with.

“There is no compulsion in religion. Verily, the Right Path has become distinct from the wrong path. Whoever disbelieves in Tâghût [false deities and false leaders] and believes in Allah, then he has grasped the most trustworthy handhold that will never break. And Allah is All-Hearer, All-Knower.”(Qur’an 2:256)

The aim is not to convert by giving da’wah by informing them of the truth because only Allah (swa) has the power for placing light of truth in the heart of those who disbelieve.

“It is true thou (Muhammad sallallaahu ‘alahi wasallam) wilt not be able to guide everyone whom thou lovest: but Allah guides those whom He will and He knows best those who receive guidance.”(Qur’an 28:56)

This is the last sermon by the Prophet Muhammad (saws) which was delivered on the ninth day of Dhul Hijah, 10 A.H. (632 A.D.) in the valley of Mount Arafat. The contents of the message were collected from different narrations, and there are other parts to it that are not mentioned here:

‘’....... All mankind is from Adam and Eve, an Arab has no superiority over a non-Arab, nor a non-Arab has any superiority over an Arab; also a white has no superiority over a black, nor a black has any superiority over white except by piety and good action. Learn that every Muslim is the brother of another Muslim, and that Muslims constitute one brotherhood. Nothing shall be legitimate to a Muslim which belongs to a fellow Muslim unless it was given freely and willingly. Do not, therefore, do injustice to your selves.......All those who listen to me shall pass on my words to others, and those to others again; and may the last ones understand my words better that those who listen to me directly. Be my witness O Allah, that I have conveyed Your message to Your people."

To gain understanding of Islam, is by looking at the holy scriptures ‘The Qur’an was given to our Prophet (saws) and by looking at the life of Prophet (saws) and following his Sunnah. The Qur'an is the greatest bounty given to us By Allah (azawajal). This complete guidance given to us by the Qur'an is magnificent and our Lord (swa) gave us mercy in being able to read and understand His beautiful words-Allahu Akbar.

The Qur'an should be the light of our chest, the spring of your heart and the communication of Allah (azawajal).The Qur'an is the miracle given to our beloved Prophet Muhammad (saws) and to his Ummah-SubhanAllah. Do not neglect the gift given to us by our Lord (swa), this can be achieved by many different ways and few outlined below:

1) Recalling the words of the Qur'an at every opportunity available
2) Memorise the beautiful words and the best time of learning is the last 2/3 of the night and during Fajr Salah
3) Understanding the meaning of the glorious Qur'an
4) When reading each verse try to find a way of implementing the verse into your life. This can be helped by reading the tafsir of the Qur'an.(A website that is currently providing the public with free tafsir of the Qur'an is http://quran-tafsir.org/).

Our full time occupation is being a Muslim and preparing for the akirah (hereafter) because we are only travellers in this Dunyaa (this world). It is all our responsibility to spread the word and convey the message of Islam. We owe it to the Ummah and we owe it to our Muslim brothers and sisters and we owe it to Allah azawajal to bring forward Islam. InshAllah the WILL stand up, mobilise, unify, make our voice heard and this is a form if Ibadaah (worship) to Allah (swa). The Ummah is going through trials and tribulation. Each and every one of us are going through times of hardship and so let us grow strong and steadfast, strengthening the Ummah.

Fi'amanillah my beloved Ummah
