While doing so, they were humiliated, insulted and abused. But they demonstrated patience and steadfastness. Whenever they faced hostile reaction from their people, they followed Divine Methodology in their Da'wah effort and repelled the evil in the best possible manner. They showed highest moral character.

Should we forget about ‘the older consumer’? An expert roundtable on market s...ILC- UK
In an ageing society, understanding and engaging with ‘the older consumer’ is of pressing interest for businesses who want to realise the potential of the market. But it is not an easy market to understand or describe.
A key issue to be addressed by marketers is to avoid a homogenisation of older people. The diversity of consumer spending of this group is often lost in ageist perceptions of ‘what older people want’. Despite this however, it remains to be seen if the commonalities of ageing – such as wealth depletion and physiological changes – nudge older people to gravitate to a norm.
In Dec 2010, ILC-UK and the Personal Finance Resource Centre (PFRC) at the University of Bristol published a report which explored what and how older people spent their income (Consumption Patterns Among Older Consumers). The evidence from this report fed into the ILC-UK report for Age UK on older consumers (The Golden Economy).
ILC-UK and PFRC have teamed up again to further explore issues around consumption and old age, funded by the Economic and Social Research Council Secondary Data Analysis Initiative. At this seminar we presented new evidence which explores patterns of expenditure among older people and considers what explains these.
During the seminar we:
Considered how our spending varies as we age, including setting out average and overall spending by age group;
Segmented older households based on their patterns of expenditure;
Considered the validity of a single ‘older consumer’ model.

And prepare for them what you can of power and steeds of war by which you may the enemy of Allāh and your enemy. [Sūrah al-Anfāl (8):60]

1. Da'wah refers to the act of conveying the message of Islam and inviting people to worship Allah alone. It was the basic mission of all prophets.
2. There are many virtues associated with da'wah mentioned in the Quran and hadiths. The reward for those who engage in da'wah is tremendous, as they receive the same reward as those who follow their message.
3. The Prophet Muhammad said guiding others to do good is equal to doing the good deeds oneself, and guiding someone to Islam is better than owning valuable red camels. Da'wah is thus considered a noble endeavor in Islam.

Qingzhen Shiyi is an Islamic theology work in Chinese language authored by an eighteenth century Chinese Muslim scholar known as Jin Tianzhu. The main reason for writing this book was twofold: (2) removing suspicion from the then Chinese government officials’ minds that Muslms’ behavior was against the Chinese culture and practices, and (2) letting Chinese Muslims know the original
teachings of Islam concerning their daily lives. This work appears to be theological cum jurisprudence because the author has discussed Islamic practices from these two angles. His arguments are to some extent apologetic because to justify the efficacy of Islamic rites and rituals the author has brought the views of Confucius. He has also been logical to explain why certain Muslim practices were highly appreciable. This paper aims at introducing that Chinese Muslim scholar and his work Qingzhen Shiyi, focusing mainly on Tianzhu’s theological views on God,
reward and punishment etc. and legal views on lawful and unlawful, celebration of Eid festival, charity work, wearing skullcap, ritual bath etc.
The document discusses marriage ages across different time periods and cultures. It notes that in many places prior to the 20th century, including parts of Europe and early America, marriage at ages as young as 4-7 years old was common. The age of consent was typically puberty (12-14 years old) in these cultures. The document also discusses that in early Islamic law and culture, marriage required consent but could be arranged by parents for their daughters, though consummation did not occur until after puberty. It argues that Aisha's marriage to Muhammad at a young age was considered normal at the time.
Not just Muslims, but every single human being has to answer the most fundamental question at some point in his or her lifetime:
"Why was I created? Why am I here? What am I doing in this world? Why did God create me?"
These questions are questions which each and everyone of us reflects on at some point during their life. We have some answers, which are given generally but usually these answers don't satisfy us - seeming somewhat simplistic. So, we still wonder: "Why me? Why here?". I know all of you (Muslims), are saying, "To worship Allah, khallas (finish). What more is there to say? Why do we need to have a big long talk on why we were created when we all know it is to worship Allah?!"
But wait. If this is presented to a non-Muslim, the next logical question would be, "Why does Allah want us to worship Him?" Then your stuck, which can only mean that in our own minds it is not really clear. Why did Allah create us to worship Him?
The document discusses the results of a study on the effects of a new drug on memory and cognitive function in older adults. The double-blind study involved 100 participants aged 65-80 who were given either the drug or a placebo daily for 6 months. Researchers found that those who received the drug performed significantly better on memory and problem-solving tests at the end of the study compared to those who received the placebo.
This document is the preface to Jeffery Lang's book "Struggling to Surrender: Some Impressions of an American Convert to Islam". In 3 sentences:
Lang wrote this book to explain to his daughters why he converted to Islam, as their question prompted his personal reflections on becoming Muslim. The book shares his experience and reactions to Islam rather than being an authoritative text, focusing on topics of general concern to converts. As a convert from a Christian background, Lang struggled with reconciling Islamic tradition and had questions about reconciling prior religious traditions with his new faith.

At- Tauhid (The Oneness of Allah)
Allah the Almighty said:
"And I (Allah) created not the Jinns and men except they should worship Me (Alone)."
(51:56)
And He stated:
"And verily, We have sent among every Ummah (community, nation) a Messenger
(proclaiming): 'Worship Allah (Alone), and avoid (or keep away from) Taghut (all false deities
etc. i.e. do not worship Taghut besides Allah).' "
(16:36)
And He said:
“And your Lord has decreed that you worship none but Him. And that you be dutiful
to your parents. If one of them or both of them attain old age in your life, say not to them
a word of disrespect, nor shout at them but address them in terms of honour. And lower
unto them the wing of submission and humility through mercy, and say: 'My Lord! Bestow on
them Your Mercy as they did bring me up when I was small.' "
(17:23, 24)
And He said:
"Worship Allah and join none with Him in worship."
(4:36)
And He said:
"Say (O Muhammad May the peace and blessing of Allah be upon him ): Come, I will recite
what your Lord has prohibited you from: Join not anything in worship with Him; be good and
dutiful to your parents; kill not your children because of poverty -We provide sustenance for you
and for them; come not near to shameful sins (illegal sexual intercourse, etc.) whether committed
openly or secretly, and kill not anyone whom Allah has forbidden, except for a just cause
(according to Islamic law), This He has commanded you that you may understand. And come not
near to the orphan's property, except to improve it, until he (or she) attains the age of full
strength; and give full measure and full weight with justice. We burden not any person, but that
which he can bear. And whenever you give your word (i.e. judge between men or give evidence,
etc.), say the truth even if a near relative is concerned, and fulfill the Covenant of Allah. This He
commands you, that you may' remember. And verily, this is My Straight Path, so follow it, and
follow not (other) paths, for they will separate you away from His Path. This He has ordained for
you that you may become Al-Muttaqun (the pious)."

It seems that current missionary work requires spending a lot of money, preparing a lot of materials, and traveling to far away places, so that it feels like missionary work. But what was the result they brought back? It's just a lot of photos of activities, fun eating, drinking and some playing games. And then we have to do the same thing next year, never ending. The church once mentioned that a certain missionary would go to the field where she used to work before the end of his life. It seemed that if she had not gone, no one would be willing to go. The reason why these missionary work is so difficult is that no one obeys God’s words, and the Bible is not the main content during missionary work, because in the eyes of those who do not obey God’s words, the Bible is just words and cannot be connected with life, so Reading out God's words is boring because it doesn't have any life experience, so it cannot be connected with human life. I will give a few examples in the hope that this situation can be changed. A375
Why is this So? ~ Do Seek to KNOW (English & Chinese).pptxOH TEIK BIN
A PowerPoint Presentation based on the Dhamma teaching of Kamma-Vipaka (Intentional Actions-Ripening Effects).
A Presentation for developing morality, concentration and wisdom and to spur us to practice the Dhamma diligently.
The texts are in English and Chinese.
1. Divine Methodology of Dawah
Da'wah, as we know, is an obligation upon every Muslim man and woman. The Holy Qur'an
tells us Da'wah is the most favorite act loved by Allah (swt). It is the practice of His
Prophets (Peace be upon them), the chosen servants of Allah who struggled in order to
convey Allah's message to people despite afflictions, and hardships. While doing so, they
were humiliated, insulted and abused. But they demonstrated patience and steadfastness.
Whenever they faced hostile reaction from their people, they followed Divine Methodology in
their Da'wah effort and repelled the evil in the best possible manner. They showed highest
moral character.
Da'wah is also the Sunnah (practice) of Prophet Muhammad (Peace be upon him). Allah
recognized him as Daa'ee Ila-Allah ("Daa'ee" or "Daa'iah" means the one who calls people
to Allah).
"O' Prophet Muhammad (Peace be upon him) We have sent you as witness, and a bearer of
glad tidings, and a warner. And as one who invites to Allah (Islamic Monotheism) by His
leave, and as a lamp spreading light." (Qur'an 33:45-46)
He (Peace be upon him) worked in the most difficult circumstances and gave a practical
demonstration of excellence in moral character during his Da'wah effort. He did everything
possible to convey Allah's message despite the most difficult response from the Makkan
people. He remained firm, patient and confident of Allah's help and victory. He associated
his will to the will of Allah and showed how to follow Allah's method in doing the Da'wah
work.
Doing Da'wah is the individual responsibility of every Muslim man and woman. Allah
commanded the believers to do whatever they can in order to spread Allah's message. He
made the Muslim Ummah (community), both individuals and groups responsible for this
noble cause.
"You (true believers in Islamic monotheism and followers of Prophet Muhammad (Peace be
upon him) and his sunnah) are the best of peoples ever raised up for mankind; you enjoin
Al-Ma'roof (good) and forbid Al-Munkar (evil), and you believe in Allah." (Qur'an 3:110)
"Let there arise out of you a group of people inviting to all that is good (Islam), enjoining
Al-Ma'roof (whatever is good) and forbidding Al-Munkar (whatever is evil). And it is they
who are successful." (Qur'an 3:104)
Abu-Saeed Al-Khudhri narrated the Prophet (Peace be upon him) saying: "Anyone among
you who notices some thing evil should correct it with his own hand, and if he is not able to
do so, then he should prohibit it with his tongue, and if he is not able to do so, he should at
least consider it as bad in his heart, and that is weakest of faith, i.e. the lowest degree of
faith." (Narrated by Muslim)
While the Qur'anic text talks about the importance of this obligation on the Muslim
community both individuals as well as groups, we note Da'wah provides a unique way to
open communication channels with other communities in order to inform them about Al-
Islam, the religion of human dignity and honor. Through Da'wah, a Daa'iah can remove lots
of misunderstandings, misrepresentations about this beautiful religion, and spread
messages of peace, justice and fairness.
2. Since Qur'an declared Da'wah an individual responsibility, the question that arises here as
to what should be the right way of doing Da'wah and what methodology and manners can
be useful and result oriented.
In the Qur'an, Allah (swt) mentioned a complete and comprehensive set of Divine
Guidelines about Da'wah, which include methodology, manners as well as the main
characteristics necessarily acquired by those engaged in the field of Da'wah. They should
learn and acquire those characteristics, and prove themselves as devoutly obedient servants
of Allah. It is extremely important they apply Divine methodology and manners in their
Da'wah effort to make it a complete success.
It is therefore, required from individuals, groups, and people in-charge of organizations
involved in Da'wah work, to make sure they pay necessary attention towards their
personality building process; thereby making themselves as perfect examples of true and
sincere obedience of Allah. They should develop permanent habit of seeking Allah's help and
forgiveness. By following the sunnah of Prophet Muhammad (Peace be upon him) in their
daily life they should provide excellent examples of moral and ethical behavior. "Indeed in
the Messenger of Allah you have a good example to follow, for him, who hopes for (the
meeting with) Allah and the Last Day, and remembers Allah much." (Qur'an 33:21)
Allah (swt) guided His Prophet (Peace be upon him) throughout his Da'wah effort and asked
him to apply divine manners when he conveyed Allah's message to the Makkan people,
including his own family members, and others. Allah addressed Prophet Muhammad (Peace
be upon him) and said:
"O'Muhammad (Peace be upon him) invite mankind to the way of your lord (Islam) with
wisdom, and fair preaching, and argue with them in a way that is better. (Qur'an 16:125).
Applying wisdom-full approach in Da'wah is key to success. Hikmah (wisdom) is a gift from
Allah. "He grants Hikmah to whom He wills, and he to whom the Hikmah is granted, is
indeed granted abundant good. But none remember (receive admonition) except men of
understanding". (Qur'an 2:269)
Good communication skills and presentation style as well as nice way of talking help make
Da'wah effort a true success. Allah commanded Musa (Moses) (Peace be upon him) to adopt
a soft and mild approach when He sent him along with his brother Haroun (Aaron) to the
Fir'aun (Pharaoh).
"Go both of you, to Fir'aun (Pharaoh). Verily he has transgressed. And speak to him mildly,
perhaps he may accept admonition or fear Allah." (Qur'an 20:43-44)
Development of necessary skills that make the Daa'iah able to defend evil with good and
ability to face hostile reaction with patience also make Da'wah effort successful. This quality
leaves a good impression on people and provides instant and positive results by mercy of
Allah.
"The good deed and the evil deed can not be equal. Repel the evil with one which is better,
then verily he, between whom and you there was enmity (will become) as though he was a
close friend." (Qur'an 41:34)
3. The most essential quality required during Da'wah work is that of patience and
steadfastness. Quality of patience and self-restraint will be of tremendous help to the
Daa'iah to carry out his work in all circumstances.
Allah commanded His beloved Prophet (peace be upon him) to keep patient. A Daa'iah must
show self-restraint in case of hostile reaction, argument, or abuse.
"And be patient; verily Allah wastes not the reward of the good doers." (Qur'an 11:115)
In Qur'an we find several examples where Allah commanded His Prophet (Peace be upon
him) to practice patience.
"O Muhammad! (Peace be upon him) keep patience to what they say and ignore them in a
good way" (Qur'an 73:10)
"And endure you patiently O' Muhammad (Peace be upon him), your patience is not but
from Allah, and grieve not over them (polytheists and pagans), and be not distressed
because of what they plot." (Qur'an 16:127)
"Therefore be patient O' Muhammad (peace be upon him) as did the "Messengers of Strong
Will" (i.e. Noah, Abraham, Moses, Jesus, and Muhammad, Peace be upon them) (Qur'an
46:35)
"Verily many Messengers were denied before you O' Muhammad (Peace be upon him), but
with patience they bore the denial, and they were hurt; till our help reached them, and none
can alter the words (decisions) of Allah. Surely there reached to you the information (news)
about the Messengers (before you)." (Qur'an 6:34)
A Daa'iah should always try to turn to Allah, learn how to increase his trust in Him and seek
His help and protection. Allah commanded His Prophet (Peace be upon him):
"And if an evil whisper comes to you from Shaitan (Satan), then seek refuge with Allah.
Verily He is All-Hearer, All-Knower." (Qur'an 7:200)
Prophet Muhammad (Peace be upon him) said: " The case of a believer is wonderful. There
is good for him in every thing, and this characteristic is for him alone. If he experiences
something pleasant, he is grateful, but if he comes across some adversity, he patient and
submissive (to Allah's will) and that is good for him." (Narrated by Muslim)
A Daa'iah should, therefore, develop necessary skills that help him carry out his work in all
circumstances and try to maintain a purely practical approach with beautiful communication
and preaching style. This kind of approach will help Daa'iah become more acceptable to
people. In case of hostile reaction, Allah requires Daa'iah to learn how to repel evil in the
best possible way. Therefore, they should be well-prepared and patient enough to face any
possible evil; be it in the form of mockery, un-necessary argument, or refusal, resistance,
or non-acceptance and try to respond with the best possible way. At the same time the
Daa'iah should demonstrate highest moral and ethical behavior to Muslim & Non-Muslim
communities at all times. The Prophet (Peace be upon him) said: "The best among you are
those who possess the best manners." (Al-Bukhari/Muslim)
4. He (Peace be upon him) also said: "I have been sent to bring good behavior to the highest
perfection." (Musnad Ahmad)
The Daa'iah need to show highest amount of patience and self-restraint at the time of anger
and learn how to forget and forgive people in order to excuse those who treat them badly.
"Show forgiveness, enjoin what is good, and turn away from the foolish." (Qur'an 7:199)
This particular quality should be a permanent part of the Daa'iah's personality.
"And the (faithful) slaves of the Most Gracious (Allah) are those who walk on the earth in
humility and sedateness, and when the foolish address them (with bad words) they reply
back with mild words of gentleness." (Qur'an 25:63)
A Daa'iah must show kindness and mercy in all his actions and endeavors. The Prophet
Muhammad (Peace be upon him) said: "Whoever is devoid of kindness and mercy, is devoid
of all goodness." (Abu-Dawoud)
In order to become a successful Daa'iah, one must possess sound Aqidah (beliefs). Aqidah
makes a person truly recognize Allah (swt) and maintain his contact with Him. A Daa'iah is
required to put his faith into practice with sincerity and devotion and discharge all
obligations due to Almighty Allah by completely associating himself with His will. It is
necessary to make his intention only to please Allah. "Actions are governed by intentions.
Everyone is rewarded for what he intended," the Prophet (Peace be upon him) said in a
Hadith.
A Daa'iah has to make sure he abstains from whatever is forbidden. He must completely
stay away from "Riya" (show off). Development of strong conviction and strength in saying
the truth without fear and hesitation is also needed. The quality of awareness of Allah will
make the Daa'iah strong and confident in all his efforts. Habit of effective control over anger,
passions, desires, and temptations will help make Daa'iah, a person of determination and
strong will power. Abu Hurairah narrated the Prophet (Peace be upon him) as having said:
"A strong person is not he who can overpower his rival in wrestling, but rather he who
controls himself when roused to anger." (Al-Bukhari, Muslim)
Acquisition of these characteristics will be helpful to attract more people and make Da'wah
efforts more effective and result oriented. It is also necessary to practice faith in all sincerity
before the Daa'iah decides to teach or preach others. Therefore, all those interested to do
Dawah, must present themselves as perfect examples of similarity in sayings and actions
and avoid doing otherwise. Allah (swt) said: "O' you who believe! Why do you say that
which you do not do? Most hateful it is with Allah that you say that which you do not do".
(Qur'an 61:2-3)
Good communication skills and presentation style is also helpful. A Daa'iah needs to develop
that unique divine quality with which he may be able to remove enmity and hatred from the
hearts of people and make them as good friends. Therefore it is extremely important to
obtain necessary knowledge and training in order to plan a logical and mature Da'wah
strategy in an organized way. Sufficient knowledge of the area including city, country,
language, and ethnicity of the people as well as working knowledge of mass media can
prove very useful. The Daa'iah has to provide correct and authentic information. He should
be well prepared and experienced enough to know how to document his talk with the Qur'an
5. or the Sunnah of the Prophet (peace be upon him). This will be of great help to the Daa'iah
in order to comprehensively define his mission to the people. Once the Daa'iah learned and
completely understood Allah's method of doing D'wah, he will be able to convince and
satisfy more people in case of argument, but without compromising basic established
principles. Keeping this in mind, Da'wah without divine manners and characteristics should
always be avoided. Any Da'wah activity without mature strategy and careful thinking may
lead to un-necessary discussions and arguments and might result in hurting people's
feelings and prove harmful rather than being useful and productive. The Prophetic teachings
require faithful believers to protect the individual dignity and honor at all times.
The Prophets of Allah (Peace be upon them) gave the most beautiful and practical
demonstration by applying this divine methodology in their Da'wah effort. Afflictions and
hardships did not make them leave hope in Allah's promise. They taught others how to
practice that unique quality of "patience & self-restraint" by which Allah can remove enmity
and hatred from the hearts of people and change enemies into close friends. Their
permanent relationship with Al-Mighty Allah (swt) made them seek refuge in Him in order to
overcome incitement of discord from the Shaitan. It is because of their strong conviction
that they became ultimate winners and qualified for Allah's victory at the end.
In order to see the application of this divine methodology in practical sense, let's examine
few examples from the Qur'an.
Allah narrated the story of Prophet Nuh (Noah) (Peace be upon him) who humbled himself
for almost a thousand years in order to convey Allah's message to his people.
"And indeed We sent Noah to his people, and he stayed among them (for the purpose of
doing Da'wah) a thousand years less fifty years (inviting them with patience to believe in
the oneness of Allah and discord the false deities)". (Qur'an 29:14)
Nuh (Noah) (Peace be upon him) adopted a simple style of Da'wah. He concentrated on his
mission in a focused way and was aware of his responsibility:
"Indeed We sent Noah to his people and he said: O' my people worship Allah. You have no
other god but Him.(None has the right to be worshipped but Allah). I fear for you the
torment of a great Day". (Qur'an 7:59)
His people mocked at him and abused him. He faced a hostile reaction from them when
they accused him of being in error.
"The leaders of his people said: " verily we see you in plain error". (Qur'an 7:60).
Prophet Nuh (Noah) (peace be upon him) followed the divine instruction and made his
answer based on Hikmah (wisdom) and beautiful preaching. He was very polite while
addressing them and showed self-restraint. He loved to be simple and chose to repel the
evil with the best possible way.
Noah said: "O my people there is no error in me. But I am a Messenger of the Lord of
Mankind". (Qur'an 7:61)
He explained his mission and informed them of his responsibility to convey Allah's message,
and did not involve in un-necessary argument.
6. "I convey unto you the messages of my Lord and give sincere advice to you. And I know
from Allah what you know not". (Qur'an 7:62)
We find another beautiful example in Prophet Hud (Peace be upon him)'s story.
"And to Aad people We sent their brother Hud. He said: O' my people worship Allah. You
have no other god to worship; none has the right to be worshipped but Allah. Will you not
fear Allah"? (Qur'an 7:65)

Hearing this, his people accused him of being foolish and lair.
"The leaders of those who disbelieved in his people said: Verily we see you in foolishness,
and verily we think you are one of the liars". (Qur'an 7:66)
In the face of this accusation he stood firm and showed himself as perfect example of
patience and self-restraint. He answered this accusation in beautiful preaching. He was
simple and focused. He did not choose to repel evil with evil. His response proved that
"goodness and evil can-not be equal".
"Hud said: O' my people! There is no foolishness in me, but I am a Messenger from the Lord
of the Mankind. (Qur'an 7:67)
Then he explained about his mission.
"I convey unto you the Messages of my Lord, and I am a trustworthy adviser/well wisher for
you". (Qur'an 7:68)
We have another example in Prophet Shuaib (Peace be upon him)'s story.
When he invited them to listen to Allah's message and started talking, they made an attack
on his character and mocked at him of being "the only right-minded person" in a sarcastic
way.
"They said O'! Shuaib! Does your prayer command that we give up what our fathers used to
worship, or that we give up doing what we like in our property? Verily, you are the forbearer,
right-minded! (They said this sarcastically.) (Qur'an 11:87)
He did not return fun and mockery because he realized his mission and responsibility. Being
fully aware of their actions, he tried to explain the right way to worship Allah and bring
them to right path. Here he showed remarkable amount of patience and highest individual
character. He demonstrated a complete similarity in his saying and action to prove his point.
"He said: O' my people! Tell me if I have clear evidence from my Lord and He has given me
a good sustenance from Himself (shall I corrupt it by mixing it with the unlawfully earned
money). I wish not, in contradiction to you, to do that which I forbid you". (Qur'an 11:88)
He informed them about his personal approach and his method in regards to his Dawah
work.
7. His answer tells us he knew how much he needed Allah's help and support in carrying out
his responsibility. We also knew that success in Dawah comes only by Allah's grace and
mercy.
"I only desire reform to the best of my power. And my guidance cannot come except from
Allah. In Him I trust and unto him I repent". (Qur'an 11:88)
In the story of Prophet Ibrahim (Abraham) (Peace be upon him) we notice that he adopted
a purely mature and logical approach when he talked to his people. He was simple, focused
and to the point. He wanted them to really think and apply their own wisdom to what they
used to worship. He explained the true concept of Lordship and informed them that the Lord
possessing absolute authority and control over the entire universe is the one and only god
worthy of being worshipped. Through Da'wah, he actually challenged their concept of
lordship told them that Allah is the only and absolute Giver of sustenance. He also explained
about the life of the Hereafter.
"And (remember) Abraham when he said to his people: worship Allah alone, and fear Him:
that is better for you if you did but know. You worship beside Allah only idols, and you only
invent falsehood. Verily, those whom you worship besides Allah have no power to give you
provision. So seek your provision from Allah alone, and worship Him alone, and be grateful
to Him. To Him alone you will be brought back." (Qur'an 29:16-17)
The following incident happened when the treaty of Hudaybiah was being signed between
Prophet Muhammad (Peace be upon him) and the representative of Quraish (people of
Makkah):
"When the agreement was to be committed to writing, Ali Bin Abi Talib, who acted as a
scribe began with the words: Bismillah-ir-Rahman-ir-Rahim, i.e. " in the name of Allah, the
most beneficent, the most merciful" but the Makkan plenipotentiary, Suhail Bin Amr
declared that he knew nothing about Ar-Rahman and insisted upon the customary formula
"Bismika-Allahumma, i.e., "In your name O' Allah!". The Muslims grumbled with uneasiness
but Prophet Muhammad (Peace be upon him) agreed. He then went on to dictate, "this is
what Muhammad (Peace be upon him), the Messenger of Allah has agreed to with Suhail
Bin Amr." Upon this Suhail again protested:
"Had we acknowledged you as a Prophet (peace be upon him), we would not have debarred
you from the sacred House, nor fought against you. Write your own name and the name of
your father." The Muslims grumbled as before and refused to consent to the change. The
Prophet (peace be upon him), however in the larger interest of Islam, attached no
importance to such an insignificant detail, erased the words himself, and dictated instead:
"Muhammad, the son of Abdullah (peace be upon him)." (The Sealed Nectar pp. 343)
The above incident is a beautiful example to prove that as Daa'ee Ila-Allah, (one who calls
to Allah) Prophet Muhammad (Peace be upon him) not only possessed but also
demonstrated in practical sense all divine characteristics as well as other skills necessarily
acquired by a Daa'iah. Therefore, he was able to tackle and solve the most delicate situation
of his time and for the satisfaction to all. Here we see him as Daa'iah and a perfect
strategist. He adopted a purely logical approach full of wisdom. His strategy was unique of
its kind. He showed that quality of patience and steadfastness as well as good
communications skills are the cornerstone for the success of any Da'wah activity anywhere
in the world.
8. If a Daa'iah tries to follow the divine set of guidelines and applies Qur'anic manners within
the Prophetic demonstration, Allah guarantees success for him in all circumstances, and
makes his effort result oriented. We should always remember that Allah always helps those
who help His cause.
