Small yet Significant

My pastime of reading comments on Islamic videos on youtubes especially coming from non-Muslims is indeed an eye opener.

-how a simple adhan is able to move a non-Muslim's heart

-how a beautiful recitation of al-qur'an is able to bring someone to testify the shahadah

-how a simple kindness to a non-Muslim is able to bring out the realization that his world lagged behind Islam in terms of humanity

-how a meaningful rendition of a nashid or du'a is able to shed their tears

-how they point out that there's no big deal in a white western man becoming a convert because everyone has to make a choice at one time or another even if you are a born Muslim

-how the perfect creation of the worlds and the laws regulating them only point to the existence of the Omniscient, Omnipotent, and Omnipresent Creator

-how the injustices to Islam and Muslims make them much more determined to learn more about Islam

All these point to the wide opportunities for any Muslim to make their contributions, to leave a legacy, to perform 'amal jariah...most importantly to invite everyone to the Mercy of Allah and save themselves from the torment of the fire on the day of judgment by conducting their lives and affairs in this world in accordance with Allah's wishes.

Wallahua'lam
