Spiritual reward of a year’s worship for every word

Islamic sisters! This Madanī example holds a lesson for those Islamic sisters and brothers who make comments such as: ‘No one listens to us! I’ve been making individual effort on him/her for ages, but nothing happened!’ I would politely like to remind them that ‘our job is to preach, convincing is not our responsibility.’ If we continue our personal preaching efforts without losing spirit, then اِنْ شَــآءَالـلّٰـه عَزَّوَجَلَّ one day, we will witness the positive consequences of our endeavours, and even if we do not, then اِنْ شَــآءَالـلّٰـه عَزَّوَجَلَّ at least, we will earn spiritual reward for preaching goodness.

Sayyidunā Mūsā Kalīmullāĥ عَـلٰى نَبِـيِّـنَا وَ عَـلَيْـهِ الـصَّلٰوة ُ وَالـسَّلَام humbly asked   Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ, ‘O Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ! What is the reward for anyone who calls his brother towards good and prohibits him from evil?’ Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ answered, ‘I grant him the reward of one year’s worship for each and every word he speaks and I feel shyness to punish him in Hell.’

(Mukāshafa-tul-Qulūb, pp. 48)
