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

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.

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.

“ASTUTE, SAGACIOUS, DISCERNING, etc.” This quality must be reflected in us, as Islam values
knowledge, wisdom, learning, thoughts, reasoning etc. In fact the
first FARDH (Obligation for Muslim) is for every male and female,
to seek knowledge and learning, from the cradle to the grave.
In fact Islam is sensible and for those who think, It is not for the
fools and the unreasonable.
