Think On These ThingsFutility It is the habit of some ignoramuses to waste their time in nonsensical talks. For example many people seek to know the verdict regarding Hadhrat Muawiyah (Radiallaahu Anhu). But, this is a matter which does not concern them in any way. Once a man whose occupation was to dye garments came to Hadhrat Maulana Muhammad Naeem Lucknowi and asked: "What are your findings regarding Hadhrat Muawiyah?" The venerable Maulana replied: "Go and dye garments. If the case of Hadhrat Maulana Muawiyah is put to you, say that you had probed it but no one gave you any information thereof." Similarly, people who lack the knowledge of even the Faraaidh of Salaat ask questions such as: "Were the parents of Rasulullah (Sallallaahu Alayhi Wa Sallam) Muslim?". On the Day of Qiyaamah we will not be questioned about such matters and here on Earth none of our activities depend on having the knowledge of these things. One should not be concerned about others. Be concerned about your own evil. [ Hakimul Ummat ] |

{Invite (mankind, O Muhammad ) to the Way of your Lord (i.e. Islam) with wisdom (i.e. with the Divine Inspiration and the Qur'an) and fair preaching, and argue with them in a way that is better. Truly, your Lord knows best who has gone astray from His Path, and He is the Best Aware of those who are guided.}
(Holy Quran-16:125)
{And who is better in speech than he who [says: "My Lord is Allah (believes in His Oneness)," and then stands straight (acts upon His Order), and] invites (men) to Allah's (Islamic Monotheism), and does righteous deeds, and says: "I am one of the Muslims."} (Holy Quran-41:33)
The prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: "By Allah, if Allah guides one person by you, it is better for you than the best types of camels." [al-Bukhaaree, Muslim]
The prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) also said, "Whoever calls to guidance will have a reward similar to the reward of the one who follows him, without the reward of either of them being lessened at all."
[Muslim, Ahmad, Aboo Daawood, an-Nasaa'ee, at-Tirmidhee, Ibn Maajah]
