“Every person has a legacy. You may not know what your impact is, and it may not be something that you can write on your tombstone, but every person has an impact on this world.” What is it that you are doing for this world?

Our legacy should be established based on what the Rasool (saw) and his Sahabah (Rah) called to in Makkah.

The Messenger (saw) called his nation (qawm) to collectively submit in accordance with revelation, to institutionalise and implement it, promising them the treasures and women of Rome and Persia in this life and jannah in the next – a socio-political revolutionary message.
The call began at a banquet with his own clan, an autonomous polity, who rejected it unable to and then publicly with the clans of Quraysh at mount Safa. He then focused discussions on tribal leaders and elites (mala’un) trying to win them over. Individuals enquired about his call and believed in him becoming his companions, whom he cultured secretly to build a party, that was later deployed against Quraysh’s support base, albeit brutally resisted. Throughout the Messenger (saw) was prohibited from joining power with Quraysh or using violence.
This was the legacy of Muhammad (saw) and his Sahabah and it should be what we pursue. Imam Malik would say what made the first generation great is the only matter that can make the last generation great.
