LEARN ISLAM , NOT INHERIT IT

learn islam, not inherit it

-Tarek Al Saleh-

Thats a part of today's friday prayer's sermon. I totally agree with him. Today's people only take islam for granted. Some of em even only islam in title, but in reality, they dont even practice that religion. oh people.know that Islam is a complete religion. Its straight, its perfect, and its pure.

i ve read somewhere about a professor who said something like this to a mua'laf(not really a mua'laf, he's muslim for like 10++ years) who tried to involve in a discussion aabout islam

YOU ARE NEW TO ISLAM. WHAT DO YOU KNOW. WE ARE ISLAM SINCE WE WERE BORN. SO STAY OUT OF THIS

What the hell? Quality of one's iman doesnt count bcoz one was born as a muslim, but how many deeds one has done and if one is really taking care of his/her compulsory ibadah. We usually see people who are new in islam give preaches, but in fact they are new in islam. Why does this happen? Because they learn islam by heart. They learn to know, and learn to understand. That's why sometimes, they tend to have more knowledge than us who 'inherit' islam from our parents. we only follow and copy what our parents do, but we dont really try to learn more about what and why we are doing that. We take islam for granted.

This is a little summary about today's friday sermon(some of the points, i added up myself). It was by Tarek Al Saleh, A master graduated guy from Palestin. He ll be returning to Palestin tomrw(i think).
He's the president of Islamic Society in UNMC. Its sad to lose a good brother like him :-S

He read a wonderful poem that he wrote himself on that sermon. twas in arabic.not really understand it, but hey, he almost cried.haha. i assume the poem is nice :)

Allah bless you Tarek Al Saleh.
