Lead People to the Way

Our Holy Prophet ﷺ says if you become the means of guidance for someone, if Allah ﷻ makes you the means, it is better for you than the whole world. This is what our Holy Prophet salla Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam says. A person who becomes the means of guidance for people receives a reward more precious than this world for each person.

Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla gave so many rewards and Thawab in order for people to have goodness, for people to reach guidance. This world has no value. In the sight of Allah ﷻ people are valuable. And a person who brings people to the good way, a person who is the means of guidance attains so much virtue and saves others. He brings great rewards and Thawab for them as well.

The time we are living in is a strange time. People are not clear. This matter is not meant for everyone. There are some people; we wish that they show the right way to people, whom they are the means of guidance for, and they do so without involving their personal interests and only for the pleasure of Allah ﷻ. Because if they turn from the way just a little, they will leave the way later. Therefore, the intention must be pure. The intention must be good so that the result is also good. Your actions should not turn to be bad.

Even if little, lead people to the right way and say, “This is the way. Keep on this way. It is the way of Allah ﷻ and our Holy Prophet ﷺ. Keep on this way. Even if little, do not leave this way. This way is your salvation”. You should encourage them as much as you can without putting pressure and without forcing. When they come to the way, they will advance slowly with the permission of Allah ﷻ.

Our Holy Prophet salla Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam was ordered to make people say “La ilaha illaLlah Muhammadun RasuluLlah”. When they say this word, the rest will follow slowly with the good intention. And the result will be good. They will be saved. You will have saved people from hell. Insha’Allah may Allah make us and everyone successful in this beautiful work. May people attain this great virtue insha’Allah.

Even if only one person, it is ok. If you decide to put everyone on the right way, you won’t be able to bring anyone. But one by one, you can do it insha’Allah. May Allah ﷻ give true Iman to all of us. May our ends be good insha’Allah.

Wa min Allah at-Tawfiq. Al-Fatiha.
