My dear brothers and elders in Islam, This work is work of Allah SWT. And in this work, it does not depend on how talented a person is. Rather, in this work, the most important thing is that how can a person accepted by Allah SWT. Acceptance is the criteria for this work, not tha talents and the abilities. And because we do not have this in our environment, so what we think is that let`s bring people the people who are talented to this work. But the really is, my dear recpected brothers and elders, this work is for those people who are accepted by Allah SWT.
It happens to that point, that a person who does not have qualities or any abilities or any talents, so what? When he comes through the way of acceptance, he becomes so talented and Allah give him so much that he exceed those people who have talent. This is the way of acceptance of Allah; this is how Allah SWT accepts a person. And it happen that when Allah SWT desires to accept a person, this person has go through different tests and trials. different decisions and circumstance are put on this person. This person has go through this circumstance and conditions. And while passing throughthese different tests,trials and conditions, this person reaches a level that he becomes acceptable to Allah SWT. Because Allah SWT choose ; Allah says ''[........] from the people he wants to do this work.
So when Allah SWT chooses a person, that person has go through various tests and trials, so that different benefits can get inside this person. He goes through all that, so that through that, diferent qualities become embedded in the person. And because of these qualities, this person becomes accepted by Allah SWT.....
Allah SWT mentions about Ibrahim AS that he underwent so many tests, And Ibrahim AS passed all those tests. And when he passed all those tests, Allah SWT choose him as Imam, as Imam of the millat and Iman of the deen. Allah SWT choose him. This is what the acceptance of Allah SWT is ; that when a person goes through this process, then Allah SWT chooses him and selects him. And this is the most importance thing, that how a person get accepted by Allah SWT.
First of all, every worker must assess his personal life. This is very essential and very important. Maulana Ilyas Saheb RA used to say that Allah SWT will protect this work with such people that have the qualities to carry out this work. The people with such qualities and such arttributes that they will be carry out this work, than through them Allah SWT will protect the effort.
As such, there are four things that must come in the life of a human being; the first is 'ibadah, then akhlaq, mu'amalat and mu`asharat. Ibadah is between a person and Allah SWT. The rest-akhlaq mu'amalat and mu`asharat-the character of a person, the dealings of a person, tha sosial life of a person; this is between a person and the other people. Between a person and Allah SWT, there is just one aspect ; between a person and other people, there is three aspects. That`s why Maulana ilyas RA, in Hayatus Sahabah, has written a chapter where he was written how through tha akhlaq of the Sahabah RA, Allah SWT gave Hidayah to other people. Their Akhlaq, their character, their dealings and their mu`amalat became a means of hidayah for other people.
The first thing which a person is tested is in his patience. One Jewish scholar once came to Rasulullah SAW, and he wanted to test Rasulullah SAW in his patience, to see if he was a really nabi, and to see dealings Rasulullah SAW. And he dealt with Rasulullah SAW very harshly, and very rudely. But as harshly as he dealt with Rasulullah SAW. Rasulullah SAW even more patience. Patience and forbearance are signs of prophethood. He showed more patience, because Ambiya` AS are given this quality of patience. They have so much patience, that whatever conditions come upon them, they would make sabr and make patience on those conditions, until the desicion of Allah SWT comes afort. They tolerated those conditions and had patience so that Allah SWT can open the doors hidayah for them. The temperament of a da`iee is one of patience and tolerance, and thus these must be adopted in the lives of every worker.
The life Rasulullah SAW before prophethood was such that he was considered ''Sadiqul Ameen'', that he was truthful, pure and trustworty. Rasulullah SAW had all this qualities, even before prophethood, because he was in a position where he frequantly had to deal with people. That is why we are told again and again that we should read Hayatus Sahabah, and we should carry out this effort according to the temperament and the methodology that is shown through the lives of Sahabah. If we carry it out in this manner, then our efforts will be accepted. But if we do not read it, or keep these examples in front of us, and the live of Rasulullah SAW is not in front of us, then we will deviate from that path. We will cheating with one onother, lying with one another, betraying one another, hating one another. And we will carry out the work in this manner. And what will happen is that the work will be destroyed.
That is why it is very necessary to recognize that the first quality that the Ambiya` AS developed was the quality of patience, and we have to bring this quality inside ourselves. And the more a person has patience, the more Allah SWT use him as mean of hidayah. There is a chapter in Hayatus Sahabah which mentions those qualities of Rasulullah SAW which were linked to the hidayah of other people; among those, the first quality mentioned was that of patience. So we must bring this qualities inside us.....
