So, what do we know about DA’WAH?


AN-NASEEHAH:“Do not miss the forest for the trees”

IMPORTANT

QUESTION

What are we inviting or calling people to?

• Is it calling them towards only to ‘what you like’ about Islam?

• Is it to your ‘organization’ or to UKHUWWAH-ISLAMIYYAH?

• Or, limited only to your area of ‘specialization’?

• Is it to a ‘culture’ or is it really to ADDEENUL-ISLAM?

but forget it yourselves, though you read the Scriptures?

Have you no sense at all?””

((Qur’an: Baqarah : 2: 44Qur’an: Baqarah : 2: 44))



Can you answer without using simplistic cliché like “To invite people Islam”

…. but provide the message and aspects which appeal to people in general?

“All of my people (UMMATI ) will enter paradise except those who

refuse.” They said : O Messenger of Allah, Who are those who refuse?.

whoever disobey me is one who refuses (to enter it).”

If by DA’WAH we mean “inviting or calling”

people towards AD-DEENUL-ISLAM ….

• … is our knowledge of AD-DEENUL-ISLAM correct?

• ... Is the approach of learning AD-DEENUL-ISLAM able develop us to

share its beautiful message to anyone especially to the majority of

people in Singapore?

• … is our calling people to, or the way we invite non-Muslim, in

accordance with that which our Prophet Muhammad ملسو هيلع هللا ىلصملسو هيلع هللا ىلص would

have approved?

• ... is our approach of DA’WAH able to convince the non-Muslim?


Do not equate this task (DA’WAH) as being similar with other kinds of professions. It is AMANAH as a mission and – not a vocation.

Remember, it has been carried out by an unbroken chain of DU’AT, faithfully linked to the Prophet Muhammad s.a.a.w.

This legacy is the foremost concern because DEEN-AL-ISLAM has been perfected and there will be no more new prophet sent to all mankind after our Muhammad s.a.a.w.

Every Muslim are to be developed towards assisting DA’WAH ISLAMIYYAH, in whatever capacity they attained, the most basic is to become Witnesses of Islam with their life for others.

AN-NASEEHAH – Sincere Advice



Potentials, opportunities & Amanah:1. All the people who are invited or have accepted Islam already possess

the inherent goodness, value and capabilities like that of raw minerals.

When they become Muslims, it is with their education in Islam that

would actualize, perfect and manifest their respective potentials.

2. Therefore make DA’WAH and ensure their education – literally their

“understanding the religion Islam” (FAQIH - FID-DEEN) is in accordance

with that which the Prophet ملسو هيلع هللا ىلصملسو هيلع هللا ىلص had done whereby they were all

harnessed to serve Allah’ cause fulfilling the legacy – they became the

best and exemplary community as witnesses to all mankind.

3. If Muslims are developed not to primarily serve the Ummah but for

other cause, it may be deemed betrayal towards His Messenger ملسو هيلع هللا ىلصملسو هيلع هللا ىلص.

“People are like minerals, the best of them in Jahiliyah

will still be the best amongst them in Islam,

so long as they have proper (profound) understanding.”

(Hadith reported by Bukhary, Muslim, Darimi and Ahmad)


Each region may underwent its own unique history, experiences especially of “civilizational osmosis”. Therefore to have knowledge and true appreciation of their respective history, to benefit from the work of previous scholars and propagators, managing proper transmission of their work with ADAB, especially in learning adequately of Wisdom and experience gained by them, is imperative.

This is crucial – failure in fulfilling this is being ungrateful and can lead to (KHIYAANAH) treachery to the Prophetic legacy.

Remember, Allah SWT has stipulated the criteria for carrying it out.

In my advice to some of my students, I have reiterated my In my advice to some of my students, I have reiterated my

’AIN’AIN,, which needs to be re-looked into again. which needs to be re-looked into again.

My concern was because I sensed that many may have learnt My concern was because I sensed that many may have learnt

of life to strive upon. of life to strive upon.

For many, For many, FARDHU‘AINFARDHU‘AIN are regarded merely as things to be are regarded merely as things to be

and the Mercy of Allah – as “and the Mercy of Allah – as “transformative program of transformative program of

changing our entire worldview and paradigmchanging our entire worldview and paradigm.”.”


Remember, by being Muslims we are not doing Allah s.w.t. any

favour, whereas it is Allah Who has favoured us with Islam.

Actually when Muslims re-orientate themselves and regard the

“ARKAAN-AL-ISLAM” as crucial ‘building blocks’ of their life and

that each fulfilment of these ARKAAN (singular – RUKUN) must

be appraised upon by how close (TAQARRUB) they have become

towards Allah s.w.t., only then can they extricate themselves out

of the malaise which some have analysed and described (which I

termed as “Dr. Jekyll & Mr. Hyde” syndrome


“Dr. Jekyll & Mr. Hyde” syndrome – i.e. intermittently lapsing

into forgetfulness or heedlessness (GHAFLAH), then

remembrance, then forgetfulness of Allah again in a kind of cycle

in life), causing their identity as Muslims to be compromised e.g.

referring to himself / herself as “Secular-Muslim” !?

This is because their worldview of and the fundamental

understanding of Islam perhaps may be faulty, partial and

truncated, whereas the spirit of Islam should dominate and

permeate our entire existence.


Allah warns us of this forgetfulness in some people, and with the

Qur’an and the teachings of His Messenger Muhammad s.a.a.w.,

He wants to guide us to be different:





““Let not the free disposal (and affluence) of the Let not the free disposal (and affluence) of the

disbelievers throughout the land deceive you. A disbelievers throughout the land deceive you. A

brief enjoyment; then, their ultimate abode is Hell; brief enjoyment; then, their ultimate abode is Hell;

““But, for those who fear their Lord, are Gardens But, for those who fear their Lord, are Gardens

under which rivers flow (in Paradise); therein are under which rivers flow (in Paradise); therein are

they to dwell (for ever), an entertainment from they to dwell (for ever), an entertainment from

Allah; and that which is with Allah is the Best for Allah; and that which is with Allah is the Best for
