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:

Assalam-O-Aliqum Brother,

I am really happy to see this forum, which is based on absolutely authentic sources of Islam i.e Quran and Sahi Hadith. May allah give you reward in both worlds and May allah help all of us to accept truth. Brother Iam actually a working lady , my work is IT related management. May I help in any way to propagate this truth with you ppl.

(There may be some grammatical and spelling errors in the above statement. The forum does not change anything from questions, comments and statements received from our readers for circulation in confidentiality.)

Answer:

Sister wishes to help

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 none worthy of worship but Allah Alone, and we bear witness that Muhammad (saws) is His slave-servant and the seal of His Messengers.

May Allah Subhanah reward you with the best of this world and the Hereafter for your kind comments of encouragement for our humble efforts in the propagation of the Truth.  If our humble and modest efforts have helped even one brother or sister get closer to Allah and His Deen of Truth, then we would consider ourselves indeed fortunate to have been given this opportunity by the Lord Most Merciful to serve in His Cause.  We hope, beg, and pray the Merciful Lord accepts our humble and weak efforts, forgives us our shortcomings, and saves you, us, and all the believers from the torment of the Hell Fire.  Ameen.

Dear and beloved Sister in Islam, I cannot find the words to express the satisfaction and sense of encouragement that the members of this humble forum have felt in their hearts after reading your offer to help in furthering the Noble Cause of our Lord Most Gracious. 

Beloved Sister, in His Sublime Mercy and Grace, the Lord Most Merciful has enjoined the team of this humble forum to expend a portion of their time and efforts in servicing and moderating this web-site in the only hope that the Lord Most Gracious will accept our humble and weak efforts, and forgive us our several and severe shortcomings in serving His Cause.  We, your humble brothers and sisters of the forum, are absolutely honored and wholeheartedly accept your offer to help our team in furthering the Cause of Allah Subhanah; and in absolute humility and hope we humbly beseech and implore The Lord Most Gracious to accept your intention to serve in His Cause, and include you, as a member of our humble team when that Day inevitably arrives when the Lord Most High will shower His Mercy and Grace upon His believing slaves.

The absolute biggest help we require from you at this time sister is that you remember and include your humble brothers and sisters of this forum in your supplications unto your Lord, beseeching Him to accept our humble and weak efforts and bestow upon you, us and all the believers His Mercy on a Day when nothing but His Mercy and Grace will determine one’s entry into His Realms of Paradise.   Allah is our witness sister, if you could remember to include us in your supplications unto your Lord, there would be no bigger help and favor one in this world can possibly do for another.

Allah says in the Holy Quran: Chapter 16, Surah An-Nahl Ayat 125:

Invite to the way of your Lord with wisdom and excellent admonition and argue with people in the best manner. Your Lord knows best who has gone astray from His Way and who is Rightly guided.

We have been blessed by the Lord to have direct access to a team of scholars, researchers, writers and moderators in our team, but in spite of the best efforts of every brother and sister on our humble team, we have been able to forward our bi-weekly articles to only 50,000 subscribers out of a world population of almost 6 billion, each of whom is a deserving candidate that the Message of our Lord is presented to him/her in the best and most polite manner. Beloved sister, if you really wish to help us further the Cause of the Lord Most Merciful may we suggest that you collect and forward our and/or other good articles on Islam to as many brothers and sisters on the internet as you possibly can. If you could spend some of your time and efforts in finding only 10 brothers or sisters a day through the internet who are willing to accept you forwarding these articles to them, that would be 300 people a month and 3,650 people a year to whom the Message of your Lord has reached through your efforts alone!  This effort of yours will go a long way in yours and our striving to propagate the Truth of the Lord to as many people as possible.  Beloved Sister, even if only one of those whom you have introduced were to get closer to their Lord Creator, Allah is our witness, none in creation can even begin to comprehend the rewards you will receive from your Lord Most Merciful on that Inevitable Day when all of mankind are gathered in His Majestic Presence!

Allah Says in the Holy Quran Chapter 47 Surah Muhammad verse 7:

7        O ye who believe! If ye will help (the Cause of) Allah, He will help you, and plant your feet firmly (in His Way).

Sahih Al-Bukhari Hadith 5.521 (part)          Narrated by Sahl bin Sad

The Messenger of Allah (saws) said: ‘I swear by Allah! Even if a single person is led on the Right Path (of Islam) by Allah through you, then that will be better for you than the nicest red camels (the most prized possession of those times.)."

Fortunate are those who chose to spend their time and their energy in helping the Cause of Allah, and fortunate and blessed indeed are those who have Allah, the Lord and Supreme Master of the Worlds, as their Protector and their Helper!

May the Lord Most High accept your intention to help in striving in His Cause, and from His Mercy and Grace grant you and your family the best in this world, and especially the Hereafter.

Whatever written of Truth and benefit is only due to Allah’s Assistance and Guidance, and whatever of error is of me alone.  Allah Alone Knows Best and He is the Only Source of Strength.

Your brother and well wisher in Islam,

Burhan
