DA'WAT AND ITS VIRTUES
VERSES OF QUR'AN
(To correct one's faith and deeds and for the correction of the faith and deeds of all mankind
one must struggle to revive the effort of Da'wat in
the path of Allah and on the pattern of Rasiilulliih $allalliihu 'alaihi wasallam
throughout the world.)
وَاللَّهُ يَدْعُو إِلَى دَارِ السَّلاَمِ وَيَهْدِي مَنْ يَشَاءُ إِلَى
صِرَاطٍ مُسْتَقِيمٍ (يونس: 25.
Allah Subhanahu wa Ta'ala says:
And Allah invites to the abode of
peace (Paradise),and leads whom
He wills, to a straight path.
Yunus 10: 25
ادْعُ إِلَى سَبِيلِ رَبِّكَ بِالْحِكْمَةِ وَالْمَوْعِظَةِ الْحَسَنَةِ
وَجَادِلْهُمْ بِالَّتِي هِيَ أَحْسَنُ إِنَّ رَبَّكَ هُوَ أَعْلَمُ بِمَنْ ضَلَّ
عَنْ سَبِيلِهِ وَهُوَ أَعْلَمُ بِالْمُهْتَدِينَ (النحل: 125
Allah Subhanahu wa Ta'ala said to
His Prophet Sallallahu 'alaihi wasallam:
Invite (mankind) to the way of
your Rabb (Islam) with wisdom (with the reasoning of the Qur'an) and excellent preaching (with
softness and humility in a manner
which effects the heart).
(An-NaI)l 16: 125
Note: Here some of the basic principles of work of Tabligh have
been explained in a brief manner.
(هُوَ الَّذِي بَعَثَ فِي الأُمِّيِّينَ رَسُولاً مِنْهُمْ يَتْلُو
عَلَيْهِمْ آيَاتِهِ وَيُزَكِّيهِمْ وَيُعَلِّمُهُمْ الْكِتَابَ وَالْحِكْمَةَ
وَإِنْ كَانُوا مِنْ قَبْلُ لَفِي ضَلاَلٍ مُبِينٍ (الجمعة:2
Allah Subhanahu wa Ta'ala says:
He (Allah) is Who has sent among the unlettered people a Messenger from amongst themselves, reciting
to them His verses (that is by
means of the Qur'an he invites
them, advises them and prepares
them to accept Islam), and to
purify them (from the filth of
disbelief and polytheism and to
cultivate excellence in conduct),
and teaches them the Book and
Wisdom (Sunnah).And verily they
were most obviously lost in error.
AI-Jumu'ah 62: 2
وَلَوْ شِئْنَا لَبَعَثْنَا فِي كُلِّ قَرْيَةٍ نَذِيرًا (الفرقان: 51.
فَلاَ تُطِعْ الْكَافِرِينَ وَجَاهِدْهُمْ بِهِ جِهَادًا كَبِيرًا (الفرقان: 52
Allah Subhanahu wa Ta'ala says:
If We willed, We could raise up a
Warnerin every village (in your
time and would not have burdened
you with the mission singlehandedly,
but to increase your reward We have given you this
tremendous responsibility and this
is indeed Allah's bounty on you).
So obey not the disbelievers, but
strive against them by means of the
Qur'an with a great endeavour
(the unbeliever will be happy if you do
not endeavour for inviting people
towards Allah. However, you
confront the unbelievers with
strong reasoning from the Qur'an
and invite all, repeatedly, with
great vigour). AI-Furqan 25: 51-52
