Summary: His messages to you, The miraculous signs to you, so you, can now become committed to guidance. Now become serious. This was step 2.<br> Step 2 was; Hold onto the Qur'an, and use that as an excuse to create brotherhood. Use as an excuse to create unity. You know what we're seeing here tonight? This is not Nouman Ali Khan, this is Power of Qur'an. This is Quran. It create Unity. You didn't even know each other. But I sense a genuine brotherhood.. You feel it too. This is powerful. This is what Qur'an can do. So you can be committed to, you can feed off from each other's energy, and you can be more and more serious. More and more committed to the direction that Allah want you to go into.<br> The final step; if we get through this step; and we have a healthy community. And we have brotherhood among each other, then we are ready for the next step. You don't go to the next step until you take care of step 1, and step 2. Eventually we will be at step 3. What's step 3?<br> ''Out of you, a group should rise, they should be made up of people from you. And the job will be to call people to good things. They will always be inviting people to good things. In other words, not everyone of us gonna hit the podium. But there will be a group that will come from us, when the brotherhood is created, counts of talents will be identified and we are going to horn those talents, and the entire community is going to invest in those talents, they are going to rise. And they are going to call people to good. Can you imagine, young people from our community, our own community, one day giving the Khutbas, one day inviting people to good. One day going on talk shows, and responding to people who are hating on islam. Our own kids that are born and raised here. Can you imagine that day? It's an incredible thing. When they're from among you. Calling to good.<br> Probably one of the most, misunderstood concepts in the entire Quran. Actually I was gonna spend about an hour and a half just on this tonight, but I can't. But I'll summarize what I can for you. The translation says, most of the time, ''They command the good, and forbid the evil'' How many people have heard that before? Command the good, forbid the evil, right? Many would have heard this before right? Very very shallow translation.<br> Ya'muroon means it’s a spectrum of things. Amr means suggesting something, advising something, trying to convince someone to do something, you know, encouraging someone to do something, and commanding someone to do something. Is there a difference between suggesting and encouraging and commanding? There is right?<br> It starts with suggestion, and you know there is different situation. Ill give you a real life, really simple example. Or I think its simple right, ''Dinner is ready. I'm going to call my dad to dinner, and I'm going to call my son to dinner. Dad is downstairs, son is upstairs. Im going to say to my son, "DINNER IS READY!!". I'm going to say to my dad, ''Aba, ehh dinner is ready''. I did Amr in both cases. In one case, I used the authority. In the other case, I used respect, request right? Two different things. Two different situations. Amr bin ma'roof depends upon the situation. You don't go commanding people. You don’t take out your haram gun and 'haram..haram..haram…….' Everything's haram!! You cant do that. Don't do that! No! No! No!<br> We have unfortunately, some of us social constipation in our masajid, in some places, we have it....i know it’s a bad term but..i feel that way..like its almost like you can't be happy in a masjid. And if you smile and say, salam alikum, the guy goes like…'MASJID…NO happiness here'. Oh man masjid's supposed to be a place to be happy. Don’t be judgmental on people, don’t tell people, 'you shouldn't be doing this, that’s haram you know..thats not right you know'. This happened in a masjid recently, this youth came to the masjid in ramadan, last ramadan,
