The Importance of
Dawah and Tabligh
All praise is for Allaah, Lord of the
Worlds, who ordered us to follow
His Messenger (sallallaahu ‘alaihi
wa sallam) and to call to His Way,
and may Allaah send praises and
blessings of peace upon our Prophet
Muhammad, and upon his family,
his companions, and those who
truly follow them until the Day of
Judgement.
To proceed: The meaning of
Da’wah is to invite. Da’wah has two
dimensions external and internal,
External Da’wah is to invite non-
Muslims to islam, and Internal
Da’wah is to remind the Muslims
about their duties to Allah and the
teachings of Islam taught by our
beloved prophet (sallallaahu ‘alaihi
wa sallam).
The person who does such a work
is called a Da’ee
Calling to Allaah (ad-Da’wah
ilallaah) is the way of the Messenger
(sallallaahu ‘alaihi wa sallam) and his
followers, as Allaah, the Most High,
says:
Say, O Muhammad (sallallaahu
‘alaihi wa sallam): This is my way, I
call to Allaah (i.e to the testification
that none has the right to be
worshipped except Allaah, alone, with
no partner) upon certain knowledge -
I, and those who follow me. I declare
Allaah free and far removed from
all that they associate as partners
with Him, and I am free of those who
worship anything else along with
Him. [Soorah Yoosuf 12:108]
Indeed calling to Allaah was the
mission of all the Messengers and
their followers, in order to bring the
people out of darkness and into light,
from unbelief (kufr) to true Faith
(eemaan), from shirk to tawheed, and
from the Fire to Paradise.
An important matter for Muslims to
realise is that da`wah is an obligation
upon them.
Allah (subhaanahu wa ta`aalaa)
says in the Qur’aan: Invite to the
Way of your Rabb with wisdom and
beautiful preaching; and argue with
them in ways that are best and most
gracious, for your Rabb knows best,
who have strayed from His Path, and
who receive guidance. (An-Nahl:
125)
He says: You are the best of
peoples, taken out for mankind. You
enjoin what is right, forbid what is
wrong, and believe in Allah. (Al-
Imran:11O)
“Let there be a group of people
amongst you inviting to all that is
good, enjoining al-ma`roof [i.e.
Islamic Monotheism and all that Islam
orders one to do] and forbidding
al-Munkar [polytheism and disbelief
and all that Islam has forbidden]. And
it is they who are successful.” [al-
Qur’aan, Aal `Imraan (3):104]
The Prophet (sallallaahu `alayhi
wa sallam) has said: “Convey
from me, even one verse.” [al-
Bukhaaree] Conveying the message
therefore does not require a high
level of scholarship, it is in fact a
responsibility of each and every
Muslim, according to his or her ability.
There are numerous verses of
the Quran and the Ahadith of Nabi
(Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam) that
emphasizes on the importance of
Da’wah.
All praise is for Allaah who has
made it easy for us to take part in
Da’wah in this day and age with the
Barakah of Dawah and Tabligh.
We have seen great changes in
the life’s of individuals, communities,
around the world, Asia, America,
Africa, China, and Middle East
throughout the world through the
Barakah of this work Dawah and
Tabligh.
PARADISE FOR ALL MANKIND.
This was the Motto of Prophet
Muhammad Sallallahu Alaihu
wasallam. He even cried at the
death of a Jew. We are his ummati
our concern should be same. To
start simultaneously from ourself,
family, locality, country to whole
mankind till the day of Judgment.
Dawah is very effective tool for our
correction also. Our success for life
here and Hereafter THE LIFE AFTER
DEATH is in obeying commands
of Allah and following Path of
Hazrat Muhammad sallallahu Alahi
Wasallam. MAY ALLAH ENABLE AS
TO PARTICIPATE IN DAWAH AND
TABLIGH AND GO IN JAMAAT.
