Sharing The Light

Assalaamu alaykum

Dear Friends

I pray that you are well.

How would you feel to stumble around in the dark, not knowing which way to go? You would be hoping for at least a spark. Then you when find light, you know how it feels...

The darkness of this world is illuminated by Islam--the guiding light. And we should want to share this light with other people.

The guidance of Allah is one of the greatest gifts He has bestowed upon us. Life without guidance is dark and lonely. It is uncontrollable and without purpose.

It is not in our power to guide anyone, rather, that belongs solely with Allah. But we do have the opportunity to convey the beautiful message of Islam with words that are eloquent and articulated. We should nurture truth and understanding while exercising patience.

Allah Almighty says in the Qur'an,

Invite to the way of your Lord with wisdom and good instruction, and argue with them in a way that is best. Indeed, your Lord is most knowing of who has strayed from His way, and He is most knowing of who is [rightly] guided. (125)

(An-Nahl:125)

And put your trust in Allah that He knows best who is worthy of guidance, and don’t despair.

Indeed, [O Muhammad], you do not guide whom you like, but Allah guides whom He wills. And He is most knowing of the [rightly] guided. (56)

(Al Qasas 28:56)

Whoever Allah sends astray - there is no guide for him. And He leaves them in their transgression, wandering blindly. (186)

(Al A-raf 7:186)

A group [of you] He guided, and a group deserved [to be in] error. Indeed, they had taken the devils as allies instead of Allah while they thought that they were guided. (30)

(Al A’raf 7:30)

May Allah guide us and our loved ones on the straight path and illuminate our lives with His Light. Ameen.

Please don't forget us in your night prayers. Jazakallahu khairan.

And Allah knows best.
Wassalaam
