The Shaykh : Third: You must be well-informed about what?
About the method of calling.
Many callers lack this, or to put it more accurately, some callers lack it.
You find in them a great deal of zeal, enthusiasm, and impulsiveness that prevents them from restraining themselves from what they want to carry out, so they call to Allah without wisdom.
And Allah, Mighty and Majestic, says:[An-Nahl 16:125].
But this good caller, whose heart Allah has filled with zeal for His religion, cannot control himself. When he finds evil, he attacks it like a bird attacking meat, and he does not think about the consequences resulting from that, not only for himself, but for him and his counterparts among the callers to the truth, because you know that the truth has enemies.
[Al-Furqan 25:31], for every prophet, is it for the person of the prophet or for what the prophet calls to?
For what the prophet calls to. Every prophet's call has an enemy from among the criminals.
Therefore, it is obligatory for the caller, before he moves, to look at the results and measure them. Perhaps in that moment, what he does will extinguish the heat of his zeal.
But that action will extinguish the fire of his zeal and the zeal of others in the future.
It may be in the near future rather than the distant future.
For this reason, I urge my brother callers to use wisdom and patience. They know that Allah, Mighty and Majestic, said:[Al-Baqarah 2:269].
And they know that Allah said:[An-Nahl 16:125].

And Allah, Mighty and Majestic, says:
Invite to the way of your Lord with wisdom and good instruction, and argue with them in a way that is best
ادْعُ إِلَن سَبِيلِ رَبكَ بِالْحكْمَة وَالْمَوْعظَة الْحَسَنَة وَجادِلْهُم بِالًتِي هِيَ أَحْسَنُBut this good caller, whose heart Allah has filled with zeal for His religion, cannot control himself. When he finds evil, he attacks it like a bird attacking meat, and he does not think about the consequences resulting from that, not only for himself, but for him and his counterparts among the callers to the truth, because you know that the truth has enemies.
And thus have We made for every prophet an enemy from among the criminals
وَكَذَلِكَ جَعَلنا لِكُلِّ نَبِيّ عَدُوّا منَ الْمُجْرِمِينFor what the prophet calls to. Every prophet's call has an enemy from among the criminals.
Therefore, it is obligatory for the caller, before he moves, to look at the results and measure them. Perhaps in that moment, what he does will extinguish the heat of his zeal.

He gives wisdom to whom He wills, and whoever has been given wisdom has certainly been given much good
يُؤْتِي الْحِكْمَةَ مَن يَشَاءُ وَمَن يُؤْتَ الْحِكْمَةَ فَقَدْ أُوتِيَ خَيرَا كثيراAnd they know that Allah said:
