have you ever been asked by a non-muslim
friend
colleague or classmate tell us about
islam
at that point i am 100 sure that many
thoughts may be rushing inside your mind
what you should say should you speak
about prophet muhammad peace be upon him
how he was the excellent role model for
humanity
prophet jesus peace be upon him should
you mention about
solutions the quran has about the
scientific facts in the quran
what you should say how you should say
it many of us we may have trouble
in making a structured presentation a
short presentation about islam
inshallah in this video i will provide a
technique that i have been using for
many many years
it is simple alhamdulillah it is also
effective
[Music]
and that technique is omg
hi so you may be thinking omg stands for
oh my god it does not especially the
youth who are watching of you over here
this is going to be a fun technique easy
to remember
inshallah in the comment section i want
all of you to write down that you
memorized it you're practicing it
and inshaallah you are going to share it
with the non-muslim brothers and sisters
inshallah
so let's start with o so the o stands
for
oneness of god so the first and the
initial
concept that you want to share with
others is that god is only one in one
not one in three not multiple persons
multiple idols
but god is only one
and then along with that mention some of
the attributes of allah
he's powerful he's eternal he is
merciful
forgiving all-knowing independent
loving and a guiding creator so to
guide humanity allah did not came down
and became a human
he remained god and he appointed
messengers
and prophets
so yes the m stands for the messengers
that allah appointed all throughout
history
at this point you need to mention some
of the names of the messengers mentioned
in the quran
example ibrahimovic
another point that you need to mention
in this
second concept is that every single
messenger
they came to invite their people to the
submission of one god
every single one of them they came on
the faith of islam to practice
islam and to share islam with humanity
point number three
g stands for guidance
so the guidance from the quran and from
the noble life of prophet muhammad peace
be upon him
the way that i introduce this point is
that humanity needs guidance
and our creator has sent us the best and
the last and the comprehensive guidance
in the quran so over here
you can also mention some of the
solutions that
allah has in the quran for humanity's
problems
solutions against racism homicide
suicide breakdown of the family
structure
drug abuse gambling alcohol
you need to provide based on the short
time that you may have to interact with
the non-muslim
some solutions that islam has for
humanity's problems
so humanity inshallah with allah's
guidance
we can live in justice and harmony and
morality and unity
worshipping allah alone so g is for
guidance
h stands for the hereafter
so what you mentioned over here is you
give an analogy
you need to give this analogy all
throughout the semester
we follow the policies the guidance and
the instructions the teacher the
professor gives us
at the end of the semester there is a
evaluation
based upon how we perform the whole
semester our evaluation would be good or
bad
in the same way we say to them that
hereafter is the grand evaluation for
every single human who ever lived
and it is based upon two important
criteria
the belief that we held and the deeds
that we did in this world
so we need to say over here that every
single person will be standing
individually in front of allah
and allah will examine and allah would
grant
either paradise or hell fire may allah
protect us from the hell fire
so h is for hereafter so now the
non-muslim may be saying you know what
it makes sense that god is one in one
oh for one god it makes sense that
messengers and prophets
all of them came with one consistent
belief it makes sense that god has given
guidance
to previous prophets and the last
prophet muhammad peace be upon him
it makes sense that there has to be some
evaluation at the end
of our lives it makes sense now the
person may be thinking what should i do
next
you should do the i the i stands for
you invite you invite the person
to islam if the person says yes
then you go over the six beliefs the
five pillars any questions they may
have help them to recite la ilaha
muhammad rasulullah however if the
person says you know what give me more
time
depart from the person by exchanging
some literature maybe a translation of
the quran maybe a brochure maybe our
contact information keep in touch with
the person pray to allah for the
person's guidance
and inshallah at least from our side we
are doing our job of sharing islam
the obligation that allah has given to
us in the quran
surah 16 ayah number 125 allah says
that invite all to the way of allah
with wisdom and good preaching and
converse with them
in ways which are best and most gracious
so inshallah if you use this technique
inshallah it will be effective it will
be easy to remember
and with the help of allah inshallah
they would be guided
make it easy for us so all of us
inshallah eloquently by our actions by
our words
we share allah's guidance and may allah
make us ambassadors of islam and peace
to all of humanity
amen assalamu alaikum allah
