The Importance of Calling to Tawhid (the Oneness of Allah) During the Season of Hajj
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner asks: Is there a word regarding the importance of calling to tawhid (the oneness of Allah) during the Hajj season, and distributing whatever is available of books and cassettes?
Answer:
The callers should strive in calling to Allah, and the scholars should strive during the season of Hajj, in Makkah, and in every gathering. It is incumbent upon the callers and the scholars to advise for the sake of Allah, to teach the people, and to encourage the circulation of beneficial tapes, beneficial books, and useful letters, provided they are reliable. All of this is good. Allah, Exalted and Majestic is He, said:[Fussilat 41:33] No one speaks better than this. And He, the Exalted, said: [An-Nahl 16:125] And whoever commands [An-Nahl 16:125] And the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Sahih Muslim 1893a Not one who does not act. The people are in greatest need of guidance and education during the time of Hajj, the time of 'Umrah, and the time of Ramadan, and likewise in Makkah, and so too in the gatherings that take place among people. Guidance and direction in these gatherings yield great benefit. May Allah guide everyone to what pleases Him, and perhaps this is sufficient. And may Allah send prayers and peace upon our Prophet Muhammad.

And who is better in speech than one who invites to Allah and does righteousness and says, "Indeed, I am of the Muslims."
وَمَنْ أَحْسَنُ قَوْلًا مِّمَّن دَعَا إِلَى اللَّهِ وَعَمِلَ صَالِحًا وَقَالَ إِنَّنِي مِنَ الْمُسْلِمِينَInvite to the way of your Lord with wisdom
ادْعُ إِلَىٰ سَبِيلِ رَبِّكَ بِالْحِكْمَةِand good instruction, and argue with them in a way that is best
الْحَسَنَةِ وَجَادِلْهُم بِالَّتِي هِيَ أَحْسَنُOne who guides to something good has a reward similar to
