Quran’s Lesson - Surah Al-A’raf 7, Verse 176, Part 9
وَلَوْ شِئْنَا لَرَفَعْنَاهُ بِهَا وَلَٰكِنَّهُ أَخْلَدَ إِلَى الْأَرْضِ وَاتَّبَعَ هَوَاهُ ۚ فَمَثَلُهُ كَمَثَلِ الْكَلْبِ إِنْ تَحْمِلْ عَلَيْهِ يَلْهَثْ أَوْ تَتْرُكْهُ يَلْهَثْ ۚ ذَٰلِكَ مَثَلُ الْقَوْمِ الَّذِينَ كَذَّبُوا بِآيَاتِنَا ۚ فَاقْصُصِ الْقَصَصَ لَعَلَّهُمْ يَتَفَكَّرُونَ
And had We willed, We would surely have elevated him therewith but he clung to the earth and followed his own vain desire. So his description is the description of a dog: if you drive him away, he lolls his tongue out, or if you leave him alone, he (still) lolls his tongue out. Such is the description of the people who reject Our Ayat (proofs, evidences, verses, lessons, signs, revelations, etc.). So relate the stories, perhaps they may reflect.
اور اگر ہم چاہتے تو ان نشانیوں سے اس (کے درجات) کو بلند کر دیتے مگر وہ تو پستی کی طرف جھک گیا اور اپنی خواہش کے پیچھے لگ گیا۔ ایسے شخص کی مثال کتے کی سی ہے کہ اگر تو اس پر حملہ کرے تو بھی ہانپتا ہے اور نہ کرے تو بھی ہانپتا ہے، یہ ان لوگوں کی مثال ہے جنہوں نے ہماری آیات کو جھٹلا دیا۔ آپ ایسے قصے ان سے بیان کرتے رہئے شاید یہ لوگ کچھ غور و فکر کریں۔
[Al-Quran 7:176]

Obligation of Friday Prayer
عن طارق بن شهاب عن النبي صلی الله عليه وسلم قال الجمعة حق واجب علی کل مسلم في جماعة إلا أربعة عبد مملوک أو امرأة أو صبي أو مريض
It was reported from Tariq bin Shihab (may Allah be pleased with him), from the Prophet (peace be upon him) that he (peace be upon him) said: “The Friday prayer in congregation is an obligation on every single Muslim, except for four: An owned slave, a woman, a child and a sick person.”
حضرت طارق بن شہاب رضی اللہ تعالیٰ عنہ سے روایت ہے کہ رسول صلی اللہ علیہ وآلہ وسلم نے فرمایا جماعت کے ساتھ نماز پڑھنا ہر مسلمان پر واجب ہے سوائے چار طرح کے لوگوں کے ایک غلام پر، دوسرے عورت پر، تیسرے بچے پر، چوتھے بیمار پر۔
[Sunan Abu Dawud, the Book of As-Salat, Hadith: 1067]

How to respond to a hater...

How to respond to a hater...
#pamphlet was handed to this gentleman but he refused to take it and he started giving hate speech about #Islam and shouting that #Jesus is the #savior and we should believe in him.
First we told him, imagine Jesus peace be upon him is standing with us, how will we react to each other? This as a start cooled him down.
And from there we had 3 hours talk that ended by believing that Jesus is a prophet just like #Muhammad peace be upon them and the #God#Allah is the #Lord the same God for all humanities.
So he said he just needs more time to discover more about Islam. After that, he did not just took the #pamphlet but also went to the dawah table and took many other materials including a copy of the Holy #Quran.
May Allah bring him back to the straight path as Jesus said:
"And indeed, Allah is my Lord and your Lord, so worship Him. That is a straight path." Quran 19:36
