Activism- Worrying For Society: Yasser Ibrahim
1)Wake up
2)Clean up (Meaning your Iman)
3)Stand up
Jobs of Believers- to facilitate for everyone
Find yourself a place to goodness. Examples:
-Homeless Shelters- Are the homeless not people too??
-Soup Kitchens
-Big Brother/Big Sister
Sharpen Your Mind-The first verse to be revealed was "Iqra" (Read)
Soften Your Heart- Care for others. The Prophet (saw) said "Don't laugh excessively, for it hardens your heart and kills your dignity"
Strengthen Your Body- Even exercising is sadaqah. Your body will speak either for you or against you on the Day of Judgement.
Moral Consistency- Wrong is wrong, even if everybody is doing it.Right is right even if only one person is doing it.It's not a big deal to be right when everyone is right
It's a big deal to be right when everyone is wrong
-The only time you should look down on a person is when you are helping them up
-Our job is to bring understanding not to convince
How to maintain motivation
-Motivation has to come from within
-needs to be fed or it will fade away
Ihsan: Doing the right thing
At the right time
At the right manner
