| Assalamu Alaykumu Brothers and sisters..I need your advice to help me in a reality check. How can you tell if you are unqualified to do some things or if someone is constantly bombarding you with negativity? Just for an example, within minutes of being asked to do a khutba, this person would tell me how alot of people might be influenced by what I had to say, Islam is not about people's opintions there is right and wrong, that I can't just use the internet, I need lots of books which I don't have, I need to support everything I say, etc. Just constant advice that sounds like that which makes me insecure before I even pick up a pen. Do you think this person is right? It seems as though he is saying unless you are a scholar you should not be writing articles/khutbas? Is this fear valid reason not to try? Is it better to seek the rewards? Do you think there are criteria? What should one look out for when writing? I often feel so put down even though I try to believe it is merely an advice or criticism for the sake of Allah, but I am beginning to doubt it is the truth. Any comments? Jazakumu Allahu Khairan |
