Huzoor صلی الله علیه وسلم and his role in Social Service
– Naeem sb, Medical Guidance Centre (JIH Mumbai)
Some excerpts from the lecture:
✨ We need people in the Ummat who are torchbearers of social work to present the Islamic message of service.
Huzoor صلی الله علیه وسلم was renowned for being trustworthy and truthful even in the days of ignorance before he was appointed a messenger. We should emulate his character.
✨ Social service is a form of silent dawah and is extremely effective in this regard.
✨ We should be known as a group who is helpful to all people, irrespective of their religion and race.
✨ A person who lives and dies for himself alone can not expect to be successful in the hereafter.
✨ A person who feeds, clothes the needy and visits the sick would find Allah near the needy. (Hadees)
✨ Striving for the welfare of widows and downtrodden is as good as participating in jihad in Allah’s way. (Hadees)
✨ An orphan’s supporter would accompany the Prophet in jannah like the index and middle finger (Hadees)
✨ Social service can lead to a renaissance in society, get people closer to Islam and quell negative propaganda against Islam.
✨ We might be held severely accountable for Huqooqul ibad (Rights of fellow men) on the plains of Hashr
