Those who haven’t promoted the deen, they are wrong. But those who have demoted it, they are even more wrong. The non-Muslims who are around you, they are going to get hold of you in the life after death to complain that you were the neighbor but you were never ever introduced them to the goodness not even by your character. Those people who do not invite others to Islam even through their character, that’s bad. But what is worse than that? Those who chase away others from Islam through their smelly behavior. Yes, that is worse. So, ask yourself as a duty of yours as a Muslim. Have I introduced Islam to others? Have I made it beautiful so my children can follow? Have I made it beautiful so that those around me can be encouraged to be good Muslimeen? And then the other question you ask yourself. Have I done things in my life or here and now am I doing things that makes people look at me and hate this religion that I follow? If that is the case, we have tons and tons to improve. Everyone makes a plan for life. Why don’t we make a plan for the life after as well? Today if you were to have a salary and that salary is not increasing for the last 10 years. You would probably look for a better job even if your job is quite good. You would say, “I have no promotion and I have no increment.” You are upset. How then do we expect the life after death to be a beautiful life when we are not prepared to increase the goodness we have and to deposit that amount in the bank of Allah (SWT). I am not prepared to improve on my salah. I am not prepared to improve on my dress. My Brothers and Sisters, we are sometimes becoming worse as time passes. Every one of us, we have room to improve it. Ask yourself how I can improve. If you are a person who is progressing, In that case you are a good Muslim even if that progress happens to be an inch at a time. You are really a good Muslim. Thank Allah that He has given you an opportunity to look into and introspect into yourself and to be able to become a better person. May Allah (SWT) forgive us and may He grant us steadfastness and strength. (Ameen)
