Mu' meneen Brothers and Sisters,

As Salaam Aleikum wa Rahmatullahi wa Barakatuh.  (May Allah's Peace, Mercy and Blessings be upon all of you)

One of our brothers/sisters has asked this question:

Answer:

Email subscription

In the name of Allah, We praise Him, seek His help and ask for His forgiveness. Whoever Allah guides none can misguide, and whoever He allows to fall astray, none can guide them aright. We bear witness that there is no one (no idol, no person, no grave, no prophet, no imam, no dai, nobody!) worthy of worship but Allah Alone, and we bear witness that Muhammad(saws) is His slave-servant and the seal of His Messengers.

Sahih Al-Bukhari Hadith 4.192 (part) Narrated by Sahl bin Sad

The Prophet (saws) advised Hadrat Ali (r.a.) and said, "Be patient, till you face them and invite them to Islam and inform them of what Allah has enjoined upon them. By Allah! If a single person embraces Islam at your hands (i.e. through you), that will be better for you than the red camels (the most prized possessions in those times)."

May Allah Subhanah reward you for striving in the Cause of Allah Subhanah and making efforts to present the true deen to those who have been misguided. If through yours or our humble efforts, we are able to bring even one brother or sister closer to the deen and to Allah Subhanah, it would be better for us than amassing the most prized possessions this world has to offer!

Beloved sister in Islam, you could simply click the icon on our website ‘Islamhelpline.com’ which says ‘subscribe’ and list the email addresses and the names of the brothers and sisters you wish to subscribe to our forum. Or you can e-mail us a list of e-mail addresses of people you feel will benefit from our forum. If Allah Wills and Helps us, we will forward the articles to them on a regular basis, Insha Allah.

May Allah Subhanah reward you for your concern for the brothers and sisters whom you wish to subscribe to the forum so that they may learn more about the Truth in light of the Quran and Sunnah. If by your efforts, even one brother or sister comes closer to the Truth of Islam, your reward in the Presence of the Majestic Lord will be guaranteed, Insha Allah.

We hope, beg, and pray that our Merciful Lord accepts yours and our humble striving in His Cause, and keep us steadfast on this Path of Truth until He Decrees to recall us back to His Magnificent Presence. Ameen.

Whatever written of Truth and benefit is only due to Allah’s Assistance and Guidance, and whatever of error is of me. Allah Alone Knows Best and He is the Only Source of Strength.

Your Brother in Islam,

Burhan
