Kisah benar..

Asalamualaikum

So today, after Maghrib, i was in the New Territory Masjid; and after prayer an uncle got up and said that they were going to hold a little khutbah on eman. As i looked around i realized that the place was filled with Tablighi Jammaat people. The first things that came to my mind was how people complain about these brothers. Most of these complaints come from the way they act, the way they adhere to certain islamic beliefs, and when and what they preach. Im sure that some of you may have even heard them be the butt of many jokes.

So during the khutbah im sitting there and i realize, "man this is taking to long". Anyways, the brother began to mention that Sheikh Zubair of SE Houston once gave a khutbah, and in the khutbah he mentioned that 65% of converts to Islam become murtad. He said, "Whenever we[Tablighi Jammat] go to give dawah to people's houses, they turn us away.............

"When we go to the first man who prays just 5 times a day, he asks, why are you telling me this? Go to the man who only prays once a day."

"When we go to the second man who only prays once a day, he says: 'Dont you know that i pray everyday?' Go to the man who only prays Jumma."

"When we go to the man who only prays Jumaah, he says: 'Dont you know i attend Jummah salat every week? I never miss it!' Go to the man who only prays Eid."

"When we go to the man who only attends Eid prayer, he says: 'Why have you come to give me dawah? I dont need dawah, i pray Eid salat every year, im already a muslim.' Go to the Kufaar."

"When we go to the kufaar to give dawah, he points at the first man and says: "My neighbor prays 5 times a day, but his manner and the way he treats people like his wife and children, and his adaab is so awful. I dont ever want to be like that. Why should i be like that awful man? What good comes out of praying to your Lord, but not acting like a good person and having proper adaab?"

The brother went on to further say: "If those 65% one day came to the masjid and said we want to learn about Islam, or we need financial help, or our family has kicked us out of our help and me have become Muhahirs for the sake of Allah...or anything like that, homw many of us are willing to do anything to help them? How many doctors will say: "I cant be bothered, i have to see many patients tomorrow?" How many Engineers will say: "My boss needs soemthing due tomorrow, i cant help." How many students will say:" I have a final in Business Statistics, i cant waste any time for you?" How many people are going to take these "others" into their homes and feed them, and take them to Marshalls and clothe them, and give them shelter until they can find a means of sustenance?

About 1400+ years ago, there were a group of immigrants that came from a city 200 or so miles away to Medinah. The people of Medinah: shopkeepers, vendors, diamond and jewellery sellers and others took these "others" into their houses and fed and cloth them. And they offered their protection. If the "Muhajirs" come to us to seek knowledge, and Islam, why do we turn them away by making excuses? Islam doesnt thrive on excuses and false promises, it lives off sacrifice in this world, for the next.

This is why the Tablighi Jammat focuses on Muslims, and this is the basis of their work.
