Dawah Tips

As a Muslim Dawah is our Duty, Hazrat Muhammad (SM.) said in his Bedai Hajj, It's  our duty to spread his message to next generation.

Dawah: The purpose of  Dawah is to invite people, both Muslims and non-Muslims, to understand the worship of Allah as expressed in the Qur'an and the sunnah of the prophet Muhammad(SM.).

The importance of Dawah has been emphasized many times in the Quran:

Who is better in speech than one who calls to Allah, does righteous deeds and says indeed I am among the Muslims.
                                                                     —Quran , Sura 41 (Fussilat), ayah 33

You are the best nation raised up for humankind. You enjoin righteousness, forbid corruption and you believe in Allah.

                                                                       —Quran , Sura 3 (Al-Imran), ayah 110

Let there arise among you a group inviting to all that is good, enjoining righteousness and forbidding evil. Those are the successful ones.

                                                                      —Quran , Sura 3 (Al-Imran), ayah 104

Call to the way of your Lord with wisdom and good preaching.

                                                                      —Quran , Sura 16 (An-Nahl), ayah 125

In the Hadith, Muhammad (SM.) mentioned to emphasize importance and virtues of Dawah:

"Whoever directs someone to do good will gain the same reward as the one who does good."

 

"Whoever calls to guidance will receive the same reward as the one who follows him without any decrease in the reward of his follower."

 

"For Allah to guide someone by your hand is better for you than having red camels."
 (In ancient Arabia, camels– especially of a reddish hue – were considered particularly valuable property.)

 

"Convey from me, even if it be only a single verse."
