Engaging in da'wah before acquiring knowledge
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh:
He says: I am interested in da'wah, but I do not have knowledge. Learn first, and then engage in da'wah. Do not call people to Allah when you have not learned. You will be rewarded for your good intention, for loving da'wah, and for wanting to call people. A person is rewarded for his intention if he intends good, even if he is not able to carry it out. He is rewarded for his intention. The evidence is the hadith of the one who wishes to be like the one who spends in the cause of Allah, and the one who wishes to be like the accomplished scholar; he is rewarded for his intention.
