وان ما نرينك بعض الذي نعدهم او نتوفينك فانما عليك البلاغ وعلينا الحساب

وَإِن مَّا نُرِيَنَّكَ بَعْضَ ٱلَّذِى نَعِدُهُمْ أَوْ نَتَوَفَّيَنَّكَ فَإِنَّمَا عَلَيْكَ ٱلْبَلَـٰغُ وَعَلَيْنَا ٱلْحِسَابُ

Dawah is not about results, it is about fulfilling our responsibility of propagating and conveying the message. 

Often we may face setbacks or grow increasingly frustrated at the fact that our voices are not being heard when we advocate for  the truth, for justice and morality. We may feel that our efforts are not yielding any results, and that we may never ever get to see the change or the victory which we yearn for. 

Calling towards the truth does not mean that you will see victory or change we desire to see in this life. 

Allah repeatedly clarifies that the mission of the Prophet (peace be upon him) is to convey the message,  not to be concerned with the results: 

(1) 'And whether We show you part of what We promise them, or We cause you to die [before it], your duty is only to convey, and upon Us is the reckoning.' (Surah Ar-Ra’d, 40)

(2) 'So be patient. Indeed, the promise of Allah is true. And whether We show you some of what We have promised them or We cause you to die — to Us will they be returned.' (Surah Ghafir, 77)

This recurring phrase in the Qur’an- {فَإِمَّا نُرِيَنَّكَ... أَوْ نَتَوَفَّيَنَّكَ}   ('Whether We show you… or We cause you to die'),  invites deep contemplation.Even after all the harm, denial, arrogance, and war the Prophet (peace be upon him) faced, Allah tells him: 'You are only responsible for doing your duty. Do not be attached to the results.'

Even witnessing Allah’s punishment upon the arrogant perpetrators of injustice and disbelievers was not something for him to long for. His task was to act and move on. The matter is not his. The mission is not his. The entire affair belongs to Allah , and Allah does with it as He wills. 

We may never get to see the full scale impact of our efforts in Dawah or in advocating for a just world. That is in the hands of Allah and out of our hands. What lies within our reach though, is the duty to convey and to remind, and to do so sincerely and continuously as the Prophets did (peace be upon them).

SubhanAllah..!
JazakAllahu Khairan kaseeran for wording such a quick transformation of the heart, very inspiring and thoughtful, it was highlighted in a way for doing our best with a heavy cautioned, mindfulness and humility, then leaving the rest upon the Creator of the universe, MashaAllah, BarakAllahu feekum.!

Muslims are facing various challenges and conflicts around the world. It is natural to desire to see positive outcomes in these battles as soon as possible. We hope that those spreading disinformation experience the consequences of their actions. We wish for accountability for the Western establishments that support and enable acts of genocide. We hope that the oppressive forces responsible for inflicting suffering and ethnic cleansing upon Muslim populations face justice. We also desire that media outlets promoting false narratives and disinformation face a decline in influence. These wishes reflect the concerns of the oppressed and their allies. However, Allah reminds Prophet SAW (and by extension us) in these verses that the fulfilment of His promises with the enemies may not happen before our deaths. In the next verse, Allah reassures the Prophet about the comfort in witnessing the diminishing power of disbelievers as their lands get sliced off from the sides. Examining the current situation, it may appear to be the opposite. Yet, we find solace in the fact that the perpetrators are badly losing the information war, with more people becoming curious about and embracing Islam despite false narratives. Surveys indicate that the younger generation overwhelmingly supports Palestine despite the money and efforts pumped in by Western establishments. Allah may or may not manifest all His promised consequences for the wrongdoers in this life before our death. Our responsibility is to convey the *message* - combat disinformation, advocate for justice, raise awareness about historical context, exert pressure on politicians where possible and the best *message* we can all convey is by being the best versions of ourselves. The ultimate judgement rests with Allah, and we hope to witness justice in our lifetimes but it is an absolute certainty after we die and in the Hereafter.

#ReflectinginCrisis

MashaAllah, your reflection on the challenges faced by Muslims around the world and the desire for positive outcomes is both thought-provoking and inspiring. Your reflection is reassuring, at a time where our collective iman is being tested, that there will be ultimate justice, if not in this life then most certainly in the hereafter. May Allah reward you in abundance and may Allah grant justice and freedom to our brothers and sisters in Palestine and to all those suffering. Amen
