 Muslim must not equate this task (DA’WAH) as being similar with
other kinds of professions. It is AMANAH as a mission and sacred
trust – not a vocation nor even to be likened as any other ‘career’.
 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.
AN-NASEEHAH – Sincere Advice

 Muslims from 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 the Wisdom (AL-HIKMAH) and accumulated experience gained
regionally by local scholars/teachers/propagators, is imperative. Today’s
Muslim educators, must be reminded of this and that they be mindful of
the ADAB towards them to humbly strive to learn and to continue the
work.
 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.
