Da'wah Obligations and Methods
Page 165
Thus, Da`wah to Allah can be a collective or an individual obligation according to circumstances. As for rulers and those in authority, it is more obligatory for them to convey Allah's Message to every possible country through all possible means and in all languages. They have to convey Allah's Commands in all languages so that the faith of Islam can be conveyed to all people in their languages. Da`wah to Allah has become easier, as means like radio, television, press and others are now available. Preachers have to convey Allah's Commands by every possible means in religious ceremonies and Friday Khutbahs (sermons).
They have to propagate the faith of Islam everywhere, each according to his capacity and religious knowledge. Due to the spread of destructive principles, such as atheism, denial of Allah, denial of divine messages, denial of the Day of Resurrection, Christianization and other misleading missions, Da`wah to Allah has become an obligation that has to be fulfilled by Muslim scholars and Muslim rulers. They have to propagate Islam everywhere by all possible means, written or spoken. They should not neglect such an obligation and depend on other people to carry out such a task. This is because there is a dire need for cooperation, participation and mutual support to fulfill the obligation of propagating Islam more than ever. It is a fact that the enemies of Islam support one another to raise doubts about Islam. They call people to do what can take them out of the bale of Islam. Therefore, it has become obligatory for Muslims to face such atheistic activities by Islamic activities Islamic Da`wah by all possible means. This will be fulfillment of one of the obligatory duties made by Allah for His servants, which is Da`wah to Him (Exalted be He).
