"When Muslims Work Together".
A very very recommended lecture to listen/watch, at least the first introductory video (link below).
Some of the questions answered by the speaker in the video above are:
> Different stages of struggle that a person may face.
> Why do we have to do extra and concern too much on others while I have fulfilled all the mandatory?
> Why there are so many Muslim organizations? Why can't we unite under one big organization? How to deal with this diversity?
> Why it is unhealthy to stick and fanatic to just one organization/logo/label?
> What motivates us to do good?
The most important point from the lecture that I find very important for every Muslim to internalize is that no matter what have we done or how much time/energy/time we have spend on Islamic and community work, the person who will benefit the most from those work is ourselves, you, me.
We gain more knowledge and skills through experiences, and reward from Him insyaAllah.
As our number of contribution increases, we shouldn't be more proud but more humble because the changes are never upon us, are never due to our power.
We work because of Allah and to seek His blessing.
Only Allah alone have the power to change hearts and things.
Allah can make changes happen without us and Allah doesn't need us.
May Allah always remind us to be more and more humble servant through our short time in this life. Ameen.
Wallahua'lam.
