“I am an old man who is 75 years of age. Please tell me how can I do dawah work as I did not do it in my entire life. I don't have good health, but after listening to your talks, I now have a burning desire to do dawah work before I return to Allah.”Asked by Faroq

maulana, agla sawal bheja hai jinhon ne unhon ne apni location nahi likhi hai aur un ka naam un ka naam farooq sahib hai. unhon ne likha hai ke: "maulana, i am an old man who is 75 years of age. please tell me how can i do dawah work as i did not do it in my entire life. i don't have a good health, but after listening to your talks, i now have a burning desire to do dawah work before i return to allah. can you give me some advice so that i don't die disappointed?" bohat achi aap ki khwahish hai.

ab mein yeh kahunga ke aaj hum is daur mein hain jabke allah rab ul alameen ne saari duniya ko hukum de rakha hai ke mere jo bande khade hon dawah ke liye, un ko kaho infrastructure free mein supply karo, free mein. misalan dekhiye, choti choti kitabein dawah par, islam par free mein aap ko ab harj hasil hain. to aap pocket mein rakhiye, jeeb mein rakhiye, koi to jo jo milta hai us ko dete rahey. koi doctor mila to doctor ko de dijiye.

to yeh bohat hi aasan hai, bohat hi aasan hai. sirf tadap chahiye, tadap jazba chahiye, spirit chahiye aur allah se dua karna yeh chahiye. maulana, agla comment bheja hai shayan tahir sahib ne. unhon ne likha hai: "i am from karachi, pakistan. i want to know if cps is here. i want to be part of the dawah work. i am doing it now with different groups. all are doing good, alhamdulillah, but your wisdom and mission i think is the need for the day." is mein koi sawal hai?
55:32
nahi, comment hai maulana un ka. maulana, agla comment bheja hai doctor aslam khan sahib ne saharanpur se. unhon ne likha hai: "without the quran, this world becomes meaningless. without joining the here, after with it, after dawah, the entire matter takes a new dimension of hope. cps team has made this present world extremely meaningful and extremely valuable." riaz bhatt sahib ne srinagar se likha hai: "today mind awakening lecture regarding duties of middle ummah is very timely, as majority of muslims have forgotten this primary duty." maulana sahib, my question is that: how can we multiply these efforts? bas logon ko kahiye ke woh lecture ko sunein, dawah pamphlets padhein, quran ko padhein. mind ko awaken karne ki zaroorat hai.
56:48
ek hi zaroorat hai ke logon ke mind ko awaken kiya jaye. bas baqi sab cheezein apne aap aati hain. in awareness ko khatam karna hai, awareness lana hai. is ke baad sab cheezein apne aap aati hain. faraaz khan sahib ne delhi se likha hai: "maulana, god is saying, ab to tumhein koi problem nahi hai. this reflects the great rahmat of god. god wants us to be successful and he is showering all his rahmat to make us successful. how sad would be our end if he fail even after such high level support which is working for us?" maulana, agla sawal lete hain jo miss sadia ne bheja hai usa se.
