Asaamualikum' guys, welcome to smile to Jannah
I don't really follow football much
you guys probably know more than me
but there's this player called Mohamed Salah
if there was any name that could give the most dawah it's this name mate
it's got Mohammad in it and it's got salaah in it
apparently Mohamed Salah has been causing a big storm mate
and Salah of course for me he's as good a bet for player of the year as anybody
I think he has been sensational, Salah.
Excellent finishing yet again from Mo Salah, just how important is he?
Yeah I mean he keeps doing it and running out words to
describe him obviously has been top class, it's important he keeps doing that
Now he's moved to Liverpool, and he's just scoring goals non-stop but the fact
that people are so excited about him, and him being a Muslim who's practicing is amazing
I think we can learn a lot from Mohamed Salah and here are a few points that I
think we... meaning you and me
not the wee in the toilet because that's disgusting
us can learn from that mate yeah
#1: let your success talk
a lot of us complain "oh I'm a Muslim, I got a beard, my name is Mohammed
I'm not gonna be successful"
And this whole negativity pushes you down
because when you're negative, what happens is you
start giving up when opportunities do come along, because of your negativity
you don't grab those opportunities, so it's like a self-fulfilling prophecy.
But when you're positive, when something does come along you're gonna grab it
when you grab it it's gonna push you foreward
#2: Win people's respect rather than begging for it
This guy couldn't even speak proper English mate
his Liverpool fans didn't really care about that, he had a beard, curly hair
like it was all going wrong for him but when he started out pacing people
He started scoring goals he won people's respect he didn't ask for it
And number three. Any time he scores a goal, the amount of time that
he's done sajda (prostration),
that he's been caught doing dua (supplication)
on the pitch guys on the pitch
What do we learn from this? Remember Allah in times of prosperity,
and Allah will remember you in times of distress
Number four: Confidence in your identity will inspire others
Now this guy didn't change himself based upon where he was he was,
he stood by his Islamic identity and his cultural Egyptian identity
and guys he's now inspiring other people
And number five: Your belief does not hold you back
rather it gives you an edge
and with Mohamed Salah his belief is propelling him foreward,
he's got talent and he's using his belief to propel it forward
obviously if you're talentless guys,
then I mean you need to take time to build that talent
build that talent and don't just blame people around you or another scapegoat
which is your religion
So guys remember Mohamed Salah in your dua mashaAllah he's doing excellent excellent work
and he's an inspiration to millions
Be happy with the success and inshaAllah try to promote Islam in other fields rather
than just expecting people to just accept Islam because you hand them
a free Qur'an, or just because you can talk really well
Guys, people want to see Islam they've heard plenty about Islam
They've heard plenty they now want to see it
So, may Allah make you and I such that we become an embodiment of Islam
rather than a deterrent for people to accept Islam
it doesn't matter if you and I can't speak properly no problem
Just let your actions do all the talking
from knowing him and seeing him...
I like to see players who score week in week out
He's not doing interviews after the game, maybe he's a bit shy
but I like the humility in him as well.
It's how you conduct yourself outside how you address
other people and Masha Allah - Mohamed Salah they see him smiling
you see him giving his t-shirt to little kids mashallah amazing inspiration
and yeah, may Allah grant him more success and more strength
Until next time guys
Asalaamu Alaikum
