Imam Zuhri, one of the great Muhadiths, and also one of the teachers of Imam Malik,
he said that Islam spread the fastest after Fatah Makkah because for the first time,
the non-Muslim was able to see the life of an ordinary Muslim up close.
Let me repeat that.
Imam Zuhri said that Islam spread the fastest after Fatah Makkah because for the first time,
a non-Muslim was able to see the life of an ordinary Muslim up close.
Now please notice, he did not say that Islam spread because for the first time,
people were able to come and listen to these great Khudwas and these great Bayans,
and they were able to see Rasulullah up close, or Abu Bakr al-Siddiq ,
or Umar ibn al-Khattab , and so on.
No, no, no. Ordinary Muslim.
Islam spread because of the non-Muslims.
Islam spread because the person looked at the carpenter, and he looked at the barber,
and he looked at the farmer, and he looked at the shepherd, and he looked at the ordinary
person who he was dealing with on a daily basis, and the Islam that he saw, the Islam
that he saw was so beautiful that...
Please come, please come.
The Islam he saw was so beautiful that people came to Islam.
Islam was spread by the winning of hearts, not by the sword.

Ordinary non-Muslims saw the life of an ordinary Muslim up close.
They were able to go to their house.
They were able to talk to them.
They were able to see them.
They dealt with them in business, and this converted them, converted their hearts.

Here, remember this, whether you like it or not, whether you think it is fair or not,
people are going to look at you and they will say what?
There goes a Muslim.
They don't know who is Zuhair.
How do they know who is Zuhair?
There goes a Muslim.
There goes a Muslim.
Now that picture, that impression, they will carry away.
They will know, they will carry away.
They will not even check that with you.
They will not even ask that with you.
They are not going to come to you and say, you know what?
I saw you behaving like this, but is this how your prophet used to behave?
You think they would ask this question?
No.
As far as they are concerned, this is what a Muslim does.
If it is good, alhamdulillah, mashallah, great people, man, look at this.
What if it is bad?
Same thing.
Oh, this is what Muhammad taught them.
This is what Muhammad taught them.
So, we want to make sure that we give people the right impression about Islam.
And that means no matter where you are.

They are looking at you.
