Birmingham Road Show

Assalaamu Alaykum all,

I am pleased to say I was able to join with several other da'wah stalls from across the UK in birmingham city centre for a da'wah road show, a mega-uber-da'wah stall if you will with 4 stalls, massive banners, information boards, about 30 brothers and about 15 sisters, all giving Da'wah openly and publicly to the kuffar.

This mean't several da'wah stalls from all over the uk converging on Birmingham, combining our efforts, alhamdulillah the heavens opened up and we all got drenched (well I didn't as I brought an Umbrella) but showing the type of quick thinking and adaptability you need in Da'wah one brother with a bit of cash went and bought several gazeebos from Argos, the argos catalogues acting as anchors also to make sure the heavy weather didn't blow away our stalls and new tenty like structures.

You might think rain would stop us from giving Da'wah, but no, only wimps would let a bit of rain stop play. No we continued and what we found was only the sincere truth seekers stopped to talk to us and we were still really busy the whole day.

Amongst the memorable events of the day was one woman and two young men, only 11 year olds, embracing Islam, Allahu Akbar!



I never spoke to the new sister, but I heard one brother saying how he had told our two new young brothers of the exploits of the young sahabah in the fields of Da'wah and striving for the sake of Allah, how two 9yo boys did for the great enemy of Islam - Abu Jahl.

I also picked up an excellent new retort when one woman, remarking on our banner shouted that 'Jesus wasn't a muslim, he was christian.' So one quick thinking brother shouted back, 'Yes, indeed he was muslim and mary wore Hijab, go home and check your statues!'

The people were very curious and despite the rain I must have been busy most of the day, but imagine brothers and sisters probably 30 brothers and about 15 sisters all giving Da'wah, all talking to non-muslims at once, giving the message of Islam to the people, as well as having talks taking place with the microphone.

Unfortunately it had to end, but inshallah we will be back Birmingham again soon as the reception towards the message of Islam was excellent, may Allah swt continue to guide them to the truth.

May the Da'wah work continue to Birmingham, and all over the country so these kuffar can be guided to the truth, that Allah's deen can be made highest, ameen.

Assalaamu Alaykum,
Abu Abdillah
