HAPPY MUSLIMS | FRIENDSHIP DINNERS
What is good for Muslims has got to be good for every one else for us to have peace, prosperity and progress. YEAR 2020 BRINGS HAPPINESS TO
MUSLIMS This format may be modified to suit Indian, UK or Australian Context or Figure out what works in your situation... if you want the change you have got to work at it.
1.
Fox Television has Noor factor that replaced O'Reilly factor in 2016 2.
Fatima Ali co-anchors the Nightline 3.
Zia Sheik is the metropolitan editor for New York Times 4.
Fareed Zakaria finishes 10 years as a The Editor of Time 5. 6. 7. 8. 9.
All of this is a reality The
news reports you hear in the year 2020 are balanced and
fair. What
can you have to do? First, meditate on these words and say to yourselves, "The
change begins with me" and "I am not a talker, I am a doer". This
is a possibility, if we are serious about it and really want to do
it. 14 More years
to go and we can make it happen. *Scholarship info below If we do not institute
changes now, do we have the right to gripe in 2020? ___________________________________________
DINNER
OUTCOME | 2 MILLION FRIENDS I had a very pleasant dinner with 6 people on Saturday 25th, none were my friends... I invited ordinary people who just enjoyed the company... enjoyed answering a few questions about Islam, and thanks to Allah for helping me resist the Dawah temptations successfully, as we also talked about how the used car sales people push you to buy something, you don’t even know about ... They walked out in peace knowing that all of us are good human beings and we are all on par. I
have nothing to gain from them and hope this process earns the good will for all
of us Muslims. Fixed Burgers, Salad and Fruits for $27.00. I bet some one can do it for less. *Dinner info
below
The numbers will work out this way: 6
people x 12 months == 72 If
10,000 Muslim families in Within
3 years 3 x 720,000 == 2,160,0000. That is every one in
Is
it worth it? Let other Muslims do it? Do
you think that these people will defend ill talk about Muslims,
if they hear one? Do
you think they will murmur when they see wrongs things about Muslims on TV?
It
may take more effort to get to that point, but goodwill goes a lot
farther. ___________________________________________ SCHOLARSHIP IN JOURNALISM To:

FRIENDSHIP DINNERS: Choose
an evening, let's say Saturday the 25th, budget permitting invite 2 to 6
individuals/couples with kids from different faiths from work,
from your neighborhood. (please do not invite your friends - let them
invite others) or from your day to day contacts. Just have a peaceful meal, be
yourselves, and let them be themselves. Talk about children, crime,
society...It is just a friendship dinner, it should not cost us more than
$50/ Let's keep it within that. You are welcome to share...Insha Allah we will
create a yahoogroup to learn about every one's experience. This group will grow
slowly but steadily and only "DOERS" need to enhance this group. No
matter how great the temptation is, at this time, at the first
meeting: 1)
Let us avoid talking about religion - Let us not go on to explain how
good our faith is, we will regret it - neither one will enjoy the dinner or the
meeting. 2)
Let us avoid talking politics - No bashing of any one at this time, just enjoy
our meal - politics will lead into argument and let's not spoil the good
thing. 3)
Our Dawah is our good behavior, and honoring them for who they
are, we will be honored by them automatically. I
hope we can set up the dinner this Friday or Saturday... even if we
have to invite just a couple. We can see the difference we will make in
one's year time, if we have 12 such dinners in a year.
Our Imams can envision the future and guide the community through the Juma Khutbas. ___________________________________________
Challenge yourselves
to An Evening of
Wisdom *************************************************************************** {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."
