The purpose of our creation

Exercise
Please list the top 5 critically important

priorities in your life in this world

Go home and ask your family & friends and

see what their priorities are

Not even 1/100 will put Da’awa as Priority No.1

Question
What do you think the Sahaba would have

said if they had been asked this question?

What does Allah tell us about their priorities?

The Deen is still the same

So are the duties of the Muslims
‫‪Loved Allah above all else‬‬

An-Nur 24:37-38
Men whom neither trade nor sale diverts from the
Remembrance of Allâh nor from performing As Salât
(Iqâmat-as-Salât), nor from giving Zakât. They fear a Day
when hearts and eyes will be overturned.
That Allâh may reward them according to the best of
their deeds, and add even more for them out of His
Grace. And Allâh provides without measure to whom He
wills

And Allah loves them

And when the Mu’minoon saw Al Ahzâb (Confederates),
they said: "This is what Allâh and His Messenger had
promised us, and Allâh and His Messenger had spoken
the truth, and it only added to their faith and to their
submissiveness (to Allâh).
Among the believers are men who have been true to
their covenant with Allâh. Of them some have fulfilled
their obligations (been martyred), and some of them
are still waiting, but they haven’t changed [covenant
with Allâh] in the least

Say (O Muhammad SAW): "O mankind! Verily, I am
sent to you all as the Messenger of Allâh - to Whom
belongs the dominion of the heavens and the
earth. Lâ ilâha illa Huwa (none has the right to be
worshipped but He); It is He Who gives life and
causes death. So believe in Allâh and His
Messenger, the unlettered Prophet who believes in
Allâh and His Words [Revelations], and follow him
so that you may be guided."

last (end) of the Prophets. And Allâh is Ever All Aware of
everything.
Our responsibility
Rasoolullah was sent to all of humanity
and he was the last of the Messengers and
Prophets.
So the responsibility of conveying his
message devolves upon us, his Ummah
until the end of time.

 Indeed Allâh conferred a great favor on the believers

when He sent among them a Messenger from among

themselves, reciting unto them His Verses (Qur'an), and
purifying them (external & internal), and instructing
them (in) the Book (Qur'an) and Al Hikmah [Sunnah]
while before that they had been in manifest error

4 – Responsibilities of Rasoolullah
Ikhlaas
4 – steps for the Da’aee
1. Learn the Qur’an
2. Purify yourself: External & Internal
3. Learn Islam
4. Live the Sunnah & Seerah

Rasoolullah ’s method is the best

1 – Learn the Qur’an
Tajweed : Learn it
Memorize : As much as you can
Recitation : Learn to do it well
Meaning & connection : Work on it
Reflection & practice : Do it

Continuously assess your own progress

2 – Purify yourself
Purity of the body
Wudhu, Ghusl, clothes, no smoking or tobacco
Purity of the heart
Ikhlaas, free from shirk & kufr, superstition, bida’at
Purity of the mind
Free from rebelliousness, bowed in submission
Purity of actions
Not doing anything that is prohibited
Purity of speech
Not speaking anything that is prohibited

Allah is pure and likes the pure

3 – Learn Islam
Seerah
Because it is the standard
Sunnah
Because it is the method
Shari’ah
Because that is the framework

Only Right Knowledge drives Right action

4 – Live the Sunnah
The Sunnah is the method of practicing Islam
Imaam Az-Zuhri said, ‘Islam spread fastest
after Fatah Makkah because for the first time
the non-Muslim was able to see the life of the
ordinary Muslim.’
The ‘Life of the Ordinary Muslim’ was the
Sunnah in practice

The Sunnah brings Islam alive

Ita’at and Ittiba
Ita’at is the ‘What’
Allah ordered us to pray
Ittiba is the ‘How’
Rasoolullah showed us how to do it
It is not possible to obey Allah (Ita’at)
without following (Ittiba) the Sunnah of
Rasoolullah

People who reject Sunnah reject Islam

That’s why Allah ordered
ِ ‫يِن‬ ِ ِ
‫قُ ْل إِن ُكنتُ ْم حُت بُّو َن اللّهَ فَاتَّبعُو حُيْبْب ُك ُم اللّ ُه‬

A’al Imraan 3:31. Say (O Muhammad SAW to mankind):
"If you (really) love Allâh then follow me (follow
my Sunnah), Allâh will love you and forgive you of your
sins. And Allâh is Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful."
The Critical Sequence
The Critical Sequence
1. Prepare the soil
 Akhlaaq & Personal example

2. Plant the seed

 Invite to Islam with softness & love

3. Water the seed

 Tears before Allah because only He can
guide

Method of all the Anbiya

Sequence is essential
1. Planting without preparing the soil
 Seed won’t germinate or will die soon after

2. Soil prepared but seed not planted

 Nothing will grow

3. Soil prepared, seed planted but not

watered
 Seed may germinate but will die

Like the farmer, work and ask Allah

Presenting the Message
Connect with Allah
Ask for the help of Allah
Live the Da’awa
Your credibility depends on this
Say it like it is
No diplomacy with the Message
Islam is incomparable
Every other way is wrong & in Hellfire
Connect with Allah
Tawba: Sincere repentance to Allah
Remove all disobedience from life
Follow the Sunnah scrupulously
Kasratus sujood: Tahajjud & Nawaafil
Fasting: Sunnah fasts
Dhikr: Qur’an, other adhkaar
Sadaqah: it cools the wrath of Allah
Ilm: learn Deen correctly & systematically
Live the Da’awa

Speak with passion
Speak like a Believer
Don’t be apologetic or defensive
You have no authority to change anything

Creator, Sustainer, Only one to worship
Rasoolullah
Last & Final Messenger
Life of this world
Transitory & temporary
Aakhira
Day of Judgment, Accountability

Don’t argue, avoid controversy

Messenger – Yahya Al Kalbi
In the name of Allah the Merciful, the Beneficent
From Muhammad, the Messenger of Allah
To Heraclius, the Great One of the Romans
 
Peace be on those who follow the right guidance. I
call you to believe in Islam. Accept Islam and you will
be safe and Allah will give you double the reward. If
you decline you shall bear the responsibility for the
farmers (your people) disbelief.

In the name of Allah the Merciful, the Beneficent

To Kisra, the Great One of the Persians
 
 Peace be on him who follows the right guidance, believes in
Allah and His Messenger and declares that there is no deity
except Allah the only god who has no partners and Muhammad
is his slave and His Messenger . I wish to convey to you Allah ’s
call for I am His Messenger to all of mankind sent with the task
to warn all those who are alive that doom will befall the
unbelievers. If you submit to Allah you will be safe, if you
refuse, you shall bear the responsibility for the Magians.
Messenger – Hatib ibn Abi Baltha
In the name of Allah the Merciful, the Beneficent
From Muhammad Ibn Abdillah
To Al Muqauqas, the Great One of the Copts
 
 Peace be on those who follow right guidance. I wish to convey to
you the message of Islam. Accept Islam and you will be safe.
Accept it and Allah will double your reward. Should you turn
your back on it, you will bear the responsibility for the Copts.
People of the Book, let us come to a fair agreement that we will
never worship anyone but Allah and will not ascribe divinity to
anyone else and that none of us will give the status of lord to
anyone alongside Allah . If they refuse say to them, ‘Bear
witness that we submit ourselves to Allah .
 It’s Allah’s Deen
It’s not yours to change
Islam is incomparable
Islam is unique, distinct, distinguished,
different, stands out and is its own ‘Brand’
Differentiate yourself & your presentation
Stand out – Never blend in
For people to choose, the choice must be
clearly presented

Islam is Allah’s gift to all of mankind

Islam is chosen by Allah
