*The Duty to Share the Message*
One of the main things that should encourage a Muslim to invite others to Islam is to realise that the person in front of you — the driver, the house worker, the café employee, or the person sitting next to you on a plane — might never meet you again.
If you think about it, this person might die without knowing Islam and end up in the Fire. On the Day of Judgment, he might stand before Allāh and say, “O Lord, this Muslim saw me but never told me about Islam. He didn’t explain the Qur'ān to me, didn’t tell me to believe in Prophet Muḥammad (peace be upon him), and no one ever told me what Islam really is.”
This thought should make you feel responsible.
My dear brother, I once met a Christian man and spoke to him about Prophet Muḥammad (peace be upon him). I told him how Allāh sent Moses, then Jesus, and then Muḥammad (peace be upon him). The man was surprised and said, “This is the first time I’ve heard that God sent Muhammad after Jesus.” I asked him how long he had lived among Muslims, and he said, “Sixteen years.”
Sixteen years living among Muslims, yet he didn’t know that God sent Muhammad after Jesus! We really need to fix this shortcoming.

When You Treat Others Well for Allāh’s Sake: Their Ingratitude and Lack of Appreciation Will Not Hurt You
Sheikh ’Abdurrazzaq Al-Badr ḥafidhahullāh said:
Subḥānallāh! Sincerity to Allāh, the Almighty and Exalted, in one’s deeds is of the utmost importance. When you deal with people in a manner through which you seek closeness to Allāh, then if they fall short in fulfilling your rights, you do not expect any reward from them for the good you have done. Rather, you hope for your reward from Allāh alone.
Thus, you do not become distressed as those do who perform their deeds for the sake of people and not for Allāh, for such a person feels great pain when he does good to others out of personal motives—seeking some benefit or favour from them—only to be met with ingratitude or mistreatment. He is deeply hurt when they turn away from him and respond to his kindness with cruelty.
But the one who deals with others sincerely for the sake of Allāh does not feel such distress when their behaviour changes, for he never expected anything from them in the first place. His deeds are with Allāh, and what is with Allāh is never lost. [As Allāh Almighty says:] “And Allāh does not allow the reward of those who do good to be lost.”
