Factors That Aid in Da'wah
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner says: Shaykh, what are the factors that aid in da'wah and help one overcome the deceptions of Satan during da'wah, such as despair, laziness, and the like?
Answer:
First, da'wah is not undertaken directly except by the people of knowledge who know the rulings of da'wah to Allah the Exalted. They must be scholars and know the rulings of da'wah: how to call people with wisdom, secondly with admonition, and thirdly with the best kind of argument. This is not done well except by the people of knowledge. If he is among the people of knowledge and has knowledge of what he is calling to, he must also be patient in bearing the hardships and harm he encounters in the path of da'wah. He must be patient with that. Yes.

May Allah reward you
