Books That Aid in the Jurisprudence of Da'wah
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, he says: Are there specific books recommended in the field of the jurisprudence of da'wah?
The Shaykh:
Like this book we are reading; it contains the jurisprudence of da'wah with clarity and focus. Yes.
The questioner:
Honorable Shaykh.
The Shaykh:
Also, before that, the Noble Qur'an. Reflect on the verses that describe how to call people to Allah, and read the verses concerning the messages of the messengers and their calling of their nations, and how they called them. Read this and consult the reliable tafsirs (exegeses) on this. Yes.
The questioner:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success.
The Shaykh:
Also, the biography of the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him). Review the biography of the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) and how he called people from the beginning of his mission until Allah took him to Himself. How did he call people? Follow the methodology of the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him). As for following a methodology invented by a group of people, a sect, or a party that has established a methodology for them, no.
Take the methodology of the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) and do not take the other methodologies. Yes, because every one of these parties has a methodology they follow, and they have forgotten the biography of the Messenger. They have forgotten what the Qur'an indicated, which is the biography of all the messengers. They have forgotten this. They follow the methodology of so-and-so, or the methodology of the party, and they pledge allegiance to it. No, this is not acceptable. There is no pledge of allegiance except to the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) or to the rulers of the Muslims. No one pledges allegiance to anyone else. Yes.
