One in a million

Assalamualaikum.

Yes, indeed we're one in a million.
Why?
because, Allah has chosen us to convey His religion.
There are thousands people tried to join this 'kempen menutup aurat dengan sempurna' but, no, Allah chose us instead of them.
Why?
Because Allah know that we are capable, we are stronger.
He, Allah azza wa jalla, know us more than we know ourselves.

Yes, it was my first time ever joining a street dakwah (since i couldn't make it at putrajaya)
This MADS was held simultaneously throughout Malaysia expect  for Johore was canceled due to some problems. And the main point for Mads KL was at As-syakirin mosque nearby KLCC.
There, we're divided into 3 groups, the blue group in KLCC, the purple group (which was my group) placed in pavillion and the last one, maroon group placed in bukit bintang. Each group consist of four leaders, which my group's leaders were Kak Handi, Tasha, Kak Fiqah khalid and Kak syafiqah.
bla bla bla, briefing, taaruf (ice-breaking), doa and we headed to Pavillion.
I was so nervous to the max that at some point i felt very regret joining this kind of event. But, no, i remembered what my leaders had said "daie must be qowiy (strong) Don't easily give up". Come on, it's now or never. You should at least give it a try.

Arrived. My heart keep beating so fast. I kept on praying and salawat so that Allah will ease us. You know, selawat is the best thing to do when you're feeling nervous or something bad happened to you. Well, it happens to me a lot recently. And each time troubles approach me, I kept on selawat and everything went fine Alhamdulillah. So you shall give it a try. In sha allah it will help a lot.

In pavillion, the group was divided into smaller group which consist three people. And I was paired with Kak Farah and Zaini (which i called her akak earlier because she is taller than me so i thought she must be older than me. haha). Some short briefing, and everyone went to search spot and start their dakwah. (Oh, each of us also given 2-3 goodie bags to be given to the society)

"Takpa, saya masih cantik lagi...(she thought that we're selling cosmetics)"

"ye. saya faham. in sha allah saya akan berubah..."

"Can i take picture with you? (a germany girl)"

"Tadi sebenarnya dah ada orang macam kamu ni tegur makcik. Tapi makcik tak ambil goodie bag tu. Makcik sebenarnya boleh je pakai macam kamu semua ha. Tapi itulah..Takpalah, kamu bagi je benda ni (goodie bag) dekat orang lain. Ramai lagi orang lain yang tak pakai tudung kamu boleh dakwah (the makcik wears tudung)"

"takpa dik, makcik dah lambat ni......"

These are some reactions we had. And there were some who just ignored us like they didn't see us at all. Astaghfirullahalazim! Malaysian oohhh Malaysian....

Despite all the hardship in doing dakwah to the society, it was indeed really fun. I still remember how exhausted i was walking from Klcc to pavillion that i almost give up. But I stand up again and said in my heart "Rasulullah had things even worse. The distance rasulullah had to walk is way too further compared to what I had. Rasulullah even kena redah panas terik kut. So, never ever whinning! Rasulullah sacrifice a lot for you, tapi kau? Baru dakwah sikit, panas sikit, dah nak putus asa!" Yeap, I scolded myself for pampering myself too much.

So what can i conclude here is, each of us is a daie (a preacher). And what daie do is just attract and invite others to worship Allah.

"Hey bro, let's go to work." "Hey, let's go to study."

And yes, even you only said so, it is count as dakwah. Because go to work is one of worship. We go to work to find a halal sustenance, to feed our family, to find moneys and give them as sedekah. And you study to gain knowledge. And when you go to school or go to study, it is count as jihad.So yes, they are dakwah and the people who convey dakwah is a daie.

So people, everyone can be a daie, no, we are already a daie. So, never ever stop doing your dakwah. Spread this beautiful religion. Cause Allah will count them and reward you in hereafter. I know, Dakwah is not an easy thing. So maybe you can start dakwah-ing to yourself first. Turn to a better muslimah, make your aurah clean and clear, watch out your ikhtilat and more. There is no need to change drastically, do it slowly. But what the most important is, your nawaitu. Make sure it is lillahitaala. In sha allah, Allah will help us. People might hate us when we convey dakwah tu them, but it is okay. Never get offended by their words. Keep on praying to Allah to grant them hidayah.

p/s: To Mads Selangor, stay qowiy sisters. Allah send you His test as a present to show that He still love and care about you. Allah know what is our aim and niat. He won't burden us with something that we aren't capable with. So, believe in yourself that you gonna make through this. Allah will always be with the believers. May Allah reward us and grant as syahid. Amin ya mujib.

Jihad fisabillah~
