Question:
May Allah reward you. What knowledge does the caller to Allah and the one who enjoins good need to learn?
Answer:
The one who calls people to Allah must have knowledge.[Yusuf 12:108] That is, he must have knowledge: “Invite to the way of your Lord with wisdom,” and wisdom is knowledge. [An-Nahl 16:125] The one who calls people to Allah needs knowledge before he calls; he must learn.
He learns from the shaykhs, he learns from the shaykhs in the mosques or in their gatherings, he learns in the houses of knowledge from the scientific institutes and the colleges of Shari'ah and the colleges of the principles of religion. He must learn before he calls to Allah, because knowledge is a condition for calling to Allah. Yes.
