Da'wah and Socks? Just love it!

بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم


Ever heard of the "Socks" model?let me take a situation from the pavements nearby Falaki Street nearby Mara Hostel. At most times,it is full of people walking by.

Everyday,there is this young man,spreading his blanket,arranging the socks in orderly manner,from dark coloured socks from the left side,and brighter pairs to the right.

Since Egypt is fairly dusty during summer,he would very often clean and brush his socks from time to time to maintain the quality and cleanliness of his products. He would call the passersby to visit his shop.

If they come passing by,he will be happy,and if they doesn't,he would not run after them. At some time he might shouted in a clear and confident tone,

"3 pairs for 10 pounds captain!"

"Take a look ma'am. These are the latest design! "

As for his appearance,of course he will suit up neat and tidy. Those who came usually doesn't want to know the percentage of polysterr and cotton of those socks right? 

He would just say how cozy and lovely they are.

If only they want to know more,he will be more than pleased to share his knowledge. 

Now, see yourself as that young man,in real life. The product you promoting is Islam,a divine religion from Allah, not even comparable by socks,

 and those passersby are people around you. 

What can you see?

What can you observe?

The best way of calling others to Islam is by our attitude itself. Let us always remind ourselves that dakwah is not an easy task, it may take a very long period, even Prophet Nuh as called his people for more than 900 years, yet the numbers subscribing him were very discouraging. 

You may not have that much time, but Allah has all the time he needed. 


And don't ever expecting people to always listen to you, because it is Allah who touches their hearts, not us, not even the Prophet of all Prophets,Muhammad bin Abdullah (Peace be upon him).

We are just obliged to preach them with wise words and beautiful preaching. Do the best, and leave the rest to Allah! 


وَلْتَكُن مِّنكُمْ أُمَّةٌ يَدْعُونَ إِلَى الْخَيْرِ وَيَأْمُرُونَ بِالْمَعْرُوفِ وَيَنْهَوْنَ عَنِ الْمُنكَرِ ۚ وَأُولَٰئِكَ هُمُ الْمُفْلِحُونَ 


And let there be [arising] from you a nation inviting to [all that is] good, enjoining what is right and forbidding what is wrong, and those will be the successful. 
(ali Imran : 104)

Da'wah and socks? Just love it ! <3 div="div">

Intifada al-Aqsa: Peristiwa, sebab dan kesan

-
oleh Adib 'Afifi bin Abdul Rahim Latar belakang Terma intifada secara harafiahnya bermaksud gegaran. Perkataan al-Aqsa, juga dikenali sebagai Baitul Muqaddas adalah merupakan tempat ibadah ke-3 paling mulia dalam Islam. Judaisme merujuknya sebagai Temple Mountain, tapak paling mulia dalam agama Yahudi dan didakwa pernah dibina atasnya Haikal Sulaiman. Intifada al-Aqsa merujuk kepada kebangkitan rakyat Palestin menentang Israel. Lawatan provokasi Ariel Sharon ke Haram As-Syarif pada 28 September 2000 adalah merupakan pencetus yang mengakibatkan kemarahan dan kebangkitan rakyat Palestin. Kebangkitan ini dinamakan Intifada al-Aqsa atau Intifada ke-2. Ianya berlaku 2 bulan selepas gagalnya Proses Oslo. Intifada al-Aqsa berlangsung tidak hanya semata-mata kerana tindakan Ariel Sharon, tetapi juga adalah hasil siri peristiwa selama berpuluh tahun dan multifaktorial yang membawa kepada kebangkitan ini. Namun dalam artikel yang ringkas ini saya hanya akan mengulas salah satu fakto
