Think Before You Speak! - Abu Hakeem Bilal Davis

How many people do this?  We don't think about what is coming out of our mouths.  Only after we have said what we wanted to say, we realise that we have said and the damage that we have caused.  If this is with regards to the matters in our worldly life, how about some of the statements that come out of our mouth with regards to the matters related to affairs of our religion.

Do not utter speech that you will have to make excuse for tomorrow. Do not be a motor-mouth.  Contemplate and examine what you are about to say just like to examine fruit before you purchase it. 

Listen to Abu Hakeem Bilal Davis (hafidhahullah Ta'ala) as he gives us a beautiful reminder with regards to this matter.
Abu Hurairah (رضي الله عنه) narrated that the Prophet ﷺ said: "Whoever invites to guidance will be rewarded like those who follow him in the guidance are rewarded, and that will not decrease the reward of those who have followed him." [Collected by Imām Muslim]

Why Don't You Teach in Urdu? - Abu Idrees Muhammad

Urdu is a language that the da'wah has been void of for a long time. 

Abu Idrees Muhammad (hafidhahulalh Ta'ala) was asked during the: How to Live as a Muslim During Challenging Times conference in 2017, held by our brother at alBaseerah in Bradford, why don't the Salafee teachers teach in Urdu and Punjabi.

Listen to the answer that he (hafidhahullah Ta'ala) gave with a little Urdu input by Abu Hakeem Bilal Davis (hafidhahullah Ta'ala).
NOTE: For authentic material in the Urdu language visit the website of our brothers at Maktabah Salafiyyah, Islamabad.
