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:

Brother Burhan: Assalamu Alaikum WW.

The Prophet has said in a Hadith - (meaning) "Convey from me even if it is a single verse". How can I convey this in this electronic age (I'm not Aalim/sheikh, I'm just a normal person working in an office, but I want to do something for my religion for the sake of that Hadith). Please guide me jazaka ALLAH khyran.

(There may be some grammatical and spelling errors in the above statement. The forum does not change anything from questions, comments and statements received from our readers for circulation in confidentiality.)

Answer:

Convey from me even a verse implementation

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 none worthy of worship but Allah Alone, and we bear witness that Muhammad (saws) is His slave-servant and the seal of His Messengers.

Allah says in the Holy Quran: Chapter 16, Surah An-Nahl Ayat 125:

Invite to the Way of your Lord with wisdom and excellent admonition and argue with people in the best manner. Your Lord knows best who has gone astray from His Way and who is Rightly guided.

Allah Says in the Holy Quran Chapter 3 Surah Ale Imran verse 110:

110 Ye (believers) are the best of peoples evolved for mankind, enjoining what is right forbidding what is wrong and believing in Allah.

Allah says in the Holy Quran Chapter 66 Surah Tahreem verse 6:

O you who have believed, save yourselves and your families from a Fire whose fuel shall be men and stones; over which shall be appointed fierce and stern Angels, who never disobey Allah’s Command, and they only do as they are commanded!

Respected brother in Islam, one definitely does not need to wait until one becomes an ‘aalim’ or a ‘shaikh’ or a scholar in the deen to fulfill the command and guidance of the Messenger of Allah (saws): ‘Balligo anni walaw aayah’ (Relate from me even if only one Aayah)!

Whatever much or little knowledge from the Quran or the Sunnah might have reached one, one is guided by Allah and His Messenger (saws) to search for every opportunity to declare these Wise Dictates of the deen to anyone who is willing to listen to good caution!

If perchance one is not blessed with eloquence or with knowledge, one may enjoin the good and forbid the evil by giving one’s loved one or friends or colleagues a good cassette or a good book or even only a pamphlet on the deen of Islam…..or in this age of ‘vast and fast’ communication, send or forward a good text message or an email on the guidance of Islam!

Allah and His Messenger (saws) have declared it obligatory upon every adult sane believer who sincerely believes in Allah and the Last Day to strive their absolute utmost to further the Cause and Spread of Islam…..so much so that if there is one who knows no more than that there is no god worthy of worship except Allah Subhanah Alone…..he should act according to it and declare and explain it to anyone who might be willing to listen to his good caution!

Allah Says in the Holy Quran Chapter 22 Surah Hajj verse 78:

78 And strive in His cause as ye ought to strive: He has chosen you and has imposed no difficulties on you in religion; it is the cult of your father Abraham. It is He Who has named you Muslims both before and in this (Quran); that the Messenger may be a witness for you, and ye be witnesses for mankind! So establish regular prayer, give regular charity, and hold fast to Allah! He is your Protector, the Best to protect and the Best to help!

Respected brother in Islam, if one makes a sincere intention to spend even only a portion of their time and their energy and strive in the Cause of Allah Subhanah to help spread the Word and the Cause of Islam…..Allah is our witness brother, the Lord Most Majestic will help them find innumerable ways within themselves to fulfill their noble intention.

Allah Says in the Holy Quran Chapter 47 Surah Muhammad verse 7:

7 O ye who believe! If ye will help (the Cause of) Allah, He will help you; and plant your feet firmly (in His Way).

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

Your brother and well wisher in Islam,

Burhan
