Tarbiyyah


Tarbiyyah is not everything, but everything need tarbiyyah



Rasulullah s.a.w when he passed away, he didn't leave any glamorous buildings. The masjid of Madina was mud. The floor was sand, and the roof was palm leaves which will drip water on them when it rains.

Rasulullah s.a.w did not pave any roads. He did not established a financial network of business. Rasulullah s.a.w didn't leave behind any books. 

All that Rasulullah s.a.w leave behind was QURAN!
And he left it behind not in MUSHAF, not in BOOKS. But he left it behind ENGRAVED in the heart of the sahabah r.a. That was the product that Rasulullah s.a.w left behind. That was the effort of the dawah of Rasulullah s.a.w.

He left behind the sahabah
And every blessings that we enjoy today is the result of that. The religion didn't spread much in the time of Rasulullah s.a.w. It spread in the time of Abu Bakar r.a and Umar r.a. It spreads in the time of Khilafah of Banu Umayyah and Banu Abbas. Rasulullah s.a.w has the sahabah that he trained in Makkah or in Madinah; which were not many (hundred or hundred plus). These are the ones who start off with him in Makkah. 

But every one of these men, you could just THROW THEM ANYWHERE in this world and LEAVE THEM. LEAVE THEM! ALONE! They've take care the religion.

So TARBIYAH is the most important thing. It is more important than your buildings, the more important than the institutions. 

The most important thing is the tarbiyah. And that is how Islam will carry on
