Qualification for Da'wah by Obtaining Distinction in a Course
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner says: Your Eminence the Shaykh, would I be qualified for da'wah (calling others to Islam) to the Salafi creed if I obtained distinction in a course held at the Office of Da'wah and Guidance? May Allah reward you with good.
Answer:
This is not achieved except through knowledge. If you know this in your memory and visualize it completely, then you have knowledge of it. However, mere distinction, when you have not understood the matter, is not sufficient. How many have obtained distinction with first-class honors and do not understand? And how many have obtained a passing grade or even failed, yet they have knowledge and understanding? The criterion is not certificates; the criterion is true scientific understanding and awareness. Yes.
