Find Yourself Leading a Happier Life This is likely to be achieved through knowing you have helped somebody else to feel happier, which is a result of them coming close to Allah subḥānahu wa taāla (glorified and exalted be He) and following the way of his beloved Prophet Muhammad ṣallallāhu alayhi wa sallam (peace and blessings of Allāh be upon him). Giving da’wah can include giving advice to a fellow Muslim who is going through a difficult time and reminding them how Allah subḥānahu wa taāla (glorified and exalted be He) is near and always there for them to turn to. Therefore, the da’wah given does not require you to be a specialist beforehand, as the Prophet ṣallallāhu alayhi wa sallam (peace and blessings of Allāh be upon him) said: “Convey from me, even one verse.” [Bukhari] Also, if you are blessed enough to be used as a tool by Allah subḥānahu wa taāla (glorified and exalted be He) to guide someone to Islam then that should provide you with a warm glow inside knowing you have helped to save a person from shirk. Think about a non-Muslim neighbour or colleague you have and how you would feel if they accepted Islam on your hands with the grace of Allah subḥānahu wa taāla (glorified and exalted be He). Again, it is worth thinking about that person and if they died in that state of disbelief. As Muslims, since we know where those that disbelief will dwell forever, would we wish that for them or any of the non-Muslims around us? The Prophet ṣallallāhu alayhi wa sallam (peace and blessings of Allāh be upon him) in relation to this says: “By Allah, if a single person is guided by Allah through you, it will be better for you than the best of camels.” [Bukhari] Additionally, Allah subḥānahu wa taāla (glorified and exalted be He) says Himself about the people that are successful: “Let there arise out of you a group of people inviting to all that is good, enjoining Al-Ma’roof (Islamic monotheism and all that Islam orders one to do) and forbidding Al-Munkar (Polytheism and disbelief and all that Islam has forbidden). And it is they who are successful.” [Qur’an: Chapter 3, Verse 104] Who would know better than Our Creator about what is success and those that are successful?
