raise be to the Lord of the worlds, and peace and blessing be 12
upon the seal of the Prophets and Messengers, the one sent as 13
a mercy to the worlds; Muhammad al-Ameen, and on his family, 14
companions and those who followed him with Ihsaan until the Day of 15
Judgement. As for what follows: 16
17
* This book, “The Da’wah to Islam”, deals with one of the most 18
important subjects presented in the Islamic arena. This subject is wide, 19
with many branches, and delicate. It is a subject whose terrain is rugged 20
and not smooth. The Alimmah (scholors) and mujtahidoon from our 21
past - may Allah be pleased with them - did not discuss it at great length 22
as they did with other topics, such as the ‘ibadaat (ritual worships), 23
mu’amalaat (societal transactions), marriage and inheritance etc. The major 24
part they discussed in the subject of, “the call to Islam” revolved around 25
“enjoining the ma’roof (good) and forbidding the munkar (evil)” and 26
around the individual da’wah. This is because it did not occur to them 27
that the Islamic Khilafah would be uprooted, the Islamic state would be 28
destroyed, the Islamic Sharee’ah would be suspended and that the Islamic 29
lands would be transformed from dar al-Islam (the domain of Islam) to dar 30
al-kufr (domains of kufr). If any such thing did occur to them, then they 31
would not be able to present answers and solutions to it, because the 32
mujtahid solves real issues and not issues that are expected or assumed. 33
34
Therefore, this book merely contributes to the subject. We do not claim 35
that it is complete and comprehensive. However, it is a serious attempt 36
to relocate this subject from the whims, wilderness, extravagance and 37
blind imitation of the Kuffar to the correct Islamic Shar’ee foundations. 38

* This book, “The Da’wah to Islam”, deals with one of the most 18
important subjects presented in the Islamic arena. This subject is wide, 19
with many branches, and delicate. It is a subject whose terrain is rugged 20
and not smooth. The Alimmah (scholors) and mujtahidoon from our 21
past - may Allah be pleased with them - did not discuss it at great length 22
as they did with other topics, such as the ‘ibadaat (ritual worships), 23
mu’amalaat (societal transactions), marriage and inheritance etc. The major 24
part they discussed in the subject of, “the call to Islam” revolved around 25
“enjoining the ma’roof (good) and forbidding the munkar (evil)” and 26
around the individual da’wah. This is because it did not occur to them 27
that the Islamic Khilafah would be uprooted, the Islamic state would be 28
destroyed, the Islamic Sharee’ah would be suspended and that the Islamic 29
lands would be transformed from dar al-Islam (the domain of Islam) to dar 30
al-kufr (domains of kufr). If any such thing did occur to them, then they 31
would not be able to present answers and solutions to it, because the 32
mujtahid solves real issues and not issues that are expected or assumed. 33
34
Therefore, this book merely contributes to the subject. We do not claim 35
that it is complete and comprehensive. However, it is a serious attempt 36
to relocate this subject from the whims, wilderness, extravagance and 37
blind imitation of the Kuffar to the correct Islamic Shar’ee foundations. 38

that it requires more than one, two or three decades? This is because the Yaman narrated from the Messenger , “I said: ‘What if the Muslims 2
kutlah (block) does not work in an open-ended manner, rather it works have no jama’ah nor an Imam?’ He said: 3
on the basis of executing its plan within the timeframe demanded by the 4
nature of this plan. Otherwise, the block is not serious or is working 5
without guidance. Second, if the block fails to execute its plan and realise 6
its aim within a reasonable amount of time, does this mean that it has 7
made mistakes in some of its programmes and therefore, it must review 8
these programmes to rectify them? Or does this mean that the block is 9
not sincere to Allah and that is why Allah did not fulfill the victory at their 10
hands? Such a book is supposed to answer these issues. 11

22
“O you who believe, guard your own souls; if you follow guidance, no hurt can 23
come to you from those who went astray.” [TMQ 5:105]. Thus they understand 24
from this that the Muslim is only responsible for himself and his family “There will not be a year or a day that will come upon you save 25
and not responsible for carrying the da’wah to people. that which follows it is worse than it, until you meet your Lord”, so 26
the matter leads him to despair, hopelessness and abstention from action. 27

and not responsible for carrying the da’wah to people. that which follows it is worse than it, until you meet your Lord”, so 26
the matter leads him to despair, hopelessness and abstention from action. 27
