An offer to help
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:
asak dear brother, i am very glad to c
such an excellent work going on in our community. it was just recently that i started recieving mals from yr website, initially i
thought it was bohri community propogating
thier own causes so i
deleted first couple of mails without reading them, today i
spared time and went thru yr site as well, i am very gladto c this. inshaallah
Allah will give u succes in both the worlds. I just
read the question about a bohri critisising
us muslims, and i just got to know what they think, sine i never had a bohri friend in my
life, it was very difficult to understand thier
reasoning. after reading yr reply i
came to know these Mullas charge thier
visiting fees, this is so obvious that thier
intention is money. Yr movement should be made stronger and each meber of yr group given a target to convert(revert) any X nos of bohris in a week/month, whatever
it is, since u already have friends in that community n i
believe atleast youngsters of today would listen to
u, rest is in the hands of Allah (if HE wishes so). pls tell me how can i be of
any help 2 u. I am an ASP programmer (not very experiencd)
but if i can help u in any manner i
would be glad. salaams 2 all my bros ALLAH HAFIZ

Answer:
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.
All Praise is due to Allah Subhanah Alone Who has had Mercy on us, and guided us to
the Straight Path of Islam. Brother,
you cannot imagine our happiness when we received your email, and you cannot
imagine what your thoughts mean to us.
May Allah Subhanah reward you with the best in
this world and honor you with the highest Firdaus in
the Hereafter. Ameen.
The best way you can help us
brother, is that you supplicate Allah Subhanah for us
and implore him to give us the wisdom, patience, and steadfastness to strive in
His Way to the best of our ability. We constantly pray and beg our Merciful
Lord to accept our humble deeds, have Mercy on all the believers, forgive us
our shortcomings, and save us all from the torment of the Hell Fire. Ameen.
Brother, you will help us and
contribute to the Cause of Allah by propagating the Truth of the Holy Quran to all who are around you, wherever in the world you
may be… and especially to our Bohra brethren, as they
have a bigger right upon us as they are our people. May Allah Subhanah
help us and guide us to invite all who want to listen to good caution, to the
very words and Message of our Merciful Lord.
Brother, another way you can
help us is by collecting and sending us the email addresses of the brothers and
sisters who might be interested in receiving the Message of Truth; or you could
create your own database of email addresses and forward our humble
articles, or any other good Islamic
articles from the Holy Quran to them. If we are able to help even one brother or
sister to come closer to the guidance of the Holy Quran
through our efforts, we will have done our duty towards them.
Jazak Allah Kheir and May Allah Subhanah
reward you immensely for your suggestion on strengthening this humble effort of
ours. Brother, obviously it would be
difficult to monitor each member on the forum, or give him/her a task of trying
to convert an ‘x’ number of our Bohra brethren in a
specified time. Besides, Allah has only
made it our duty to invite mankind to the Truth of Islam… to guide someone or
leave them astray, is in the Sole Power and Domain of Allah Subhanah! Thus, the best way you can help us is pray to
Allah for us, and forward ours or any good Islamic messages to all you know and
can reach. And leave the rest upto Allah Subhanah! Allah Subhanah will
never ask any of the believers how many people did they convert in the course
of their lives… but what He will question the believers about, is whether they
proclaimed and declared His Message of Truth to mankind.
Allah says in the Holy Quran Chapter 3 Surah Ale Imran verse 110:You (muslims) are the best community which has been raised for the guidance of mankind. You enjoin what is right, and forbid what is evil and you all believe in Allah Alone.
May Allah Subhanah
bless you and your family, and always keep you and us all, in His Infinite
Mercy and Protection.
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,
