Calling To Allah by Nobody: 4:49pm On Jan 18, 2016 |
_______
• The Prophet (blessings and peace of Allah be
upon him) said: “Convey from me, even if it is
only one verse.”
Narrated by al-Bukhaari, 3461
• Ibn Katheer (may Allah have mercy on him)
said, in his commentary on the first in which
Allah, may He be exalted, says (interpretation
of the meaning): “Let there arise out of you a
group of people inviting to all that is good
(Islam), enjoining Al-Ma‘roof (i.e. Islamic
Monotheism and all that Islam orders one to
do) and forbidding Al-Munkar (polytheism and
disbelief and all that Islam has forbidden). And
it is they who are the successful” [Aal ‘Imraan
3:104] :
What is meant by this verse is that there should
be a group of this ummah who carry out this
mission; however, that is also obligatory upon
every individual of the ummah according to his
means, as it is proven in Saheeh Muslim that
Abu Hurayrah said: The Messenger of Allah
(blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) said:
“Whoever among you sees an evil action, then
let him change it with his hand [by taking
action]; if he cannot, then with his tongue [by
speaking out]; and if he cannot, then with his
heart – and that is the weakest of faith.”
According to another version: “Beyond that
there is not even a mustard seed’s worth of
faith.”
From Tafseer Ibn Katheer , 2/78
• Shaykh ‘Abd al-‘Azeez ibn Baaz (may Allah
have mercy on him) said:
The evidence from the Qur’an and Sunnah
indicates that it is obligatory to call people to
Allah, may He be glorified and exalted, and
that this is one of the obligatory duties. The
evidence for that is abundant, such as the
verses in which Allah, may He be glorified, says
(interpretation of the meaning):
“Let there arise out of you a group of people
inviting to all that is good (Islam), enjoining Al-
Ma‘roof (i.e. Islamic Monotheism and all that
Islam orders one to do) and forbidding Al-
Munkar (polytheism and disbelief and all that
Islam has forbidden). And it is they who are the
successful”
[Aal ‘Imraan 3:104]
“Invite (mankind, O Muhammad Salla Allahu
alayhi Wasallam) to the Way of your Lord (i.e.
Islam) with wisdom (i.e. with the Divine
Inspiration and the Quran) and fair preaching,
and argue with them in a way that is better”
[an-Nahl 16:125]
“and invite (men) to (believe in) your Lord, and
be not of Al-Mushrikoon (those who associate
partners with Allah”
[al-Qasas 28:87]
“Say (O Muhammad Salla Allahu alayhi wa
sallam): "This is my way; I invite unto Allah (i.e.
to the Oneness of Allah - Islamic Monotheism)
with sure knowledge, I and whosoever follows
me (also must invite others to Allah i.e., to the
Oneness of Allah - Islamic Monotheism) with
sure knowledge”
[Yoosuf 12:108] .
So Allah, may He be glorified, has explained
that the followers of the Messenger (blessings
and peace of Allah be upon him) are those who
call people to Allah; they are the people of
insight. What is required, as is well known, is to
follow him and adhere to his way, as Allah, may
He be exalted, says (interpretation of the
meaning):
“Indeed in the Messenger of Allah (Muhammad
SAW) you have a good example to follow for
him who hopes in (the Meeting with) Allah and
the Last Day and remembers Allah much”
[al-Ahzaab 33:21] .
The scholars have clearly stated that calling
people to Allah, may He be exalted, is a
communal obligation (fard kifaayah) with
regard to the regions in which the callers live,
for every region and area needs the da‘wah
(call) and needs people who are active in this
field. So it is a communal obligation; ▶if
sufficient numbers of people undertake it, the
duty is waived from the others
and for the others da‘wah becomes a confirmed
Sunnah (Sunnah mu’akkadah) and a great
righteous deed.
But if the people of a specific area or region do
not undertake da‘wah, the burden of sin is
incurred by all of them, and it becomes
obligatory for all of them; each person must
undertake to call people to Islam, ▶according
to his ability. However, generally speaking, with
regard to every country, what is required is for
there to be a group that is devoted to the
mission of calling people to Allah, may He be
glorified and exalted, throughout the world, to
convey the message of Allah and to explain the
command of Allah by all possible means,
because the Messenger (blessings and peace of
Allah be upon him) sent out callers, and he sent
letters to people and to kings and rulers, calling
them to Allah, may He be glorified and exalted.
