Invitation Towards Allah

IN THE PATH OF ALLAH

Dawaah (Invitation towards Allah) has to be one of the aims of every Muslim.

Tablig means ‘to deliver. Whether a person be in his own house, shop, factory, office or farm, whether he is the employee or the employer, whether he is alone or in a jamaat whether he is in the bazaar or in the mosque, whether he is a pious Aalim or just an ordinary Muslim, it is his duty to fulfil the wishes of our Holy Prophet (and carry out the work of Dawah

This work of Dawaah can be carried out through

  1. Direct propagation - The way one leads one’s own life, which is also Dawah.

For example: Dealing honestly with others; respecting one’s elders, loving youngsters, helping others; helping the poor, or generally passing one’s life in the footsteps of our Prophet saw. It has to be remembered that Dawaah has to be to oneself first before it is to others.

  1. To go in the path of Allah is one of the pillars of Islam and is a great form of Ibadah (Worship). The verses of the Holy Quran make this abundantly clear.

And let Time be witness; verily man is in a great loss except, of course, those who believe and do righteous deeds and who enjoin truth and enjoin patience.

REASONS TO PROCEED

he cannot benefit from doing that work. It is also a fact that unless a Unless a person is fully aware of the reasons for doing something person is fully aware of the rewards of his work, that person would not carry out his duties to the best of his ability.

THE DUTY OF EVERY MUSLIM

By virtue of the fact that Rasulullah (was the Last of the Prophets, the duty of Dawaah (invitation to Islam) devolves upon each and every member of his Ummat

The Holy Quran very clearly outlines not only the benefits of going in the Path of Allah but makes very clear the duties imposed on the Ummat of Rasulullah saw )

SUCCESS IN BOTH THE WORLDS.

Success in both the worlds depends on enjoining what is right and forbidding indecency.

“Let there arise out of you a band of people inviting to all that is good, enjoining what is right, and forbidding what is wrong: They are the ones to attain felicity” (ie. Attainment of desires, hoppiness, success, prosperity, freedom from anxiety in this world and the next). (Surah Aai-i-Imraan, Surah 3, Ayah 104)

THE BEST WORDS

The best words are those spoken by an inviter (a Daa’ly)

“Who is better in speech than one who calls (men) to God, works righteousness and says, “I am of those who bow in Islam”? (Surah Haa-Mim Sajda, Surah 41, Ayah 33)

ORDER OF ALLAH

Allah orders Rasul-lullah (s) to proclaim the message.

“O Apostle! proclaim that (message) which hath been sent to thee from thy Lord.”

OBJECTIVE OF LIFE OF RASUL-LULLAH (

The objective of the life of Rasul-lullah and his followers is Dawaah (enjoining right and forbidding evil).
