DA’WAH RATIONALE

Islam is the perfect and complete religion for all mankind (Qur’an 5:3), Truly, it is the religion in the sight of Allah (Qur’an 3:19)- the only religion acceptable to him (Qur’an 3:85). It is the right religion, but most men do not know it (Qur’an 30;30). Allah, by his grace, has guided believers to the truth (Qur’an 2:213).

Indeed we, Muslims are really fortunate that Allah has guided us to the right path . It is imperative that we should do Da’wah (call or invite people to Islam ) as a way to show our gratitude to Allah for guiding us to Islam. We should do Da’wah purely for Allah’s pleasure for the following reasons:
Firstly: To do Da’wah is a divine commandment from Allah. Allah enjoins the believers to invite all mankind to Islam in Surah Nahl (16:125 ).
Secondly: Da’wah is the very Sunnah of prophet Muhammad (PBUH). Allah sent his messenger as a witness, a bearer of glad tidings and a warner.
Thirdly: Da’wah as a Sunnah is one of the best ways of serving Allah. Doing Da’wah or supporting it is a tangible manifestation of our noble service to Allah. If we carry it out or support it then surely our lives will be prosperous, as Allah says in the Quran that “you are the best of the peoples, evolved for mankind, enjoining what is good and forbidding what is wrong, and believe in Allah...” ( 3:110 ).
Fourthly: If we join the ranks of those who call towards Allah then we will be successful believers. Allah not only assures the Du’ats as the ones to attain felicity but also promises for them unlimited rewards (39:33-35 ).
Fifthly: It is our religious duty to do Da’wah and share knowledge of Islam.
We, Muslims in Mindanao should realize the importance of Da’wah and fulfill our obligation and responsibility which is delegated upon us by our Creator Allah. This is an urgent appeal to all of you, support us to propagate the message of Islam, contact 0915-5063652.
