CHAPTER ONE

1.0   INTRODUCTION

All praise is due to Allah (S.W.T), whom we ask for help and from whom we seek forgiveness. We seek refuge with Allah from the evils withinourselves and the evils of our actions. He who Allah guides has no one who can lead him astray and He whom He led astray has no one to guide him. Peace and blessings of Allah be upon His noblest servant, His Messengers and prophet (Muhammad) and his companions, his family and those that follow their footsteps until the Day of Judgment.

The institution of Da’awah that is calling people to the way of Allah (S.W.T) and His prophets is an orthodox tradition which traces its origin from the previous Prophets of Allah (S.W.T) before Prophet Muhammad (S.A.W). Allah said in the glorious Qur’an

“Indeed, We have revealed to you, (o Muhammad), as We revealed to Noah and Prophets after him. And We revealed to Ibrahim, Isma’il, Ishaq, Yaqub, the descendants, Isah, Ayub, Yunus, Harun and Suleiman, and to Dawud We gave the Zabur (of psalms)”¹

The above verse of the glorious Qur’an showed clearly all Prophets served the same purpose of Da’awah with the seal of Prophet Muhammad (S.A.W).

A Da’awah means inviting other people to enter in to the religion of Allah for Allah created the creations for His worship, in the glorious Qur’an Allah said,

“And I did not create the Jinn and mankind except to worship me”.²

Therefore, from the above mentioned verse of the glorious Qur’an, it is clearly understood that Allah (S.W.T) created both jinn and mankind and command them to worship none but Him alone, So for that reason, the cardinal objective of Da’awah is to educate the collective and individual people to know the best of worshiping Allah alone.

Da’awahi.e (calling people to the commandment of Allah)is an event carried out by all the MuslimUmmah by sending the different message at different times through His selected men (messengers) from generation to generation to deliver the message of Islam. Allah the Most High stated in the glorious Qur’an

how was the end of the deniers.”³ “and We certainly sent in to every nation a Messenger, (saying), worship Allah and avoid taught, and among them were those whom Allah guide and among them upon whom error was (deservedly) decreed. so proceed (i e travel) through the earth and observe
