Re: Jamaat
Read thoroughly every aspect of the lives of the companions of the Prophet sallallahu aleyhi wasallam, from authentic books, and then look at these people. You won’t find much of a difference, in terms of the direction they give to their life. Of course, in terms of commitment no one can reach the dust of the feet of the Sahaabas and the friends of Allah subhana wata’aala.
It is very easy to spend your time and money on yourself and your family (which is their right). BUT it definitely requires a bigger heart to spend such a large amount of money and time (without any worldly incentive but rude response of people) in spreading the message of the Prophet (Saw), the way the Sahaabas did. YES, it was because of Sahaabas time and efforts “away from their families” that you and me are born muslims. , by the grace of Allah (swt). How many people have you and me converted to Islam by spending our time away from families only when our “job”, “Salaries” and “TADA” demanded.
It is because of their efforts and blessings of Allah (swt) that the Muslim in the west who used to write their name “Joesph” now easily write “Yousuf”. Look at halal meet shops here and there which couldn’t be found in abundance in non-Muslim countries few decades ago.
Yes but they are not converting people, they are preaching to the converted. I respect them for trying to encourage muslims to be better, but I would respect them even more if they we actually trying to convert non-muslims.
