The conditions that must be met by a da'iyah (caller to Islam) residing in non-Arab lands.

The Shaykh : And therefore, for one to be a da'iyah (caller to Islam) in those lands, as I mentioned earlier, those conditions are required of him. Among them is that he must stay for a long time. I was invited to be present there, and I have an official request from the mufti, but I know that if I went there, what would I do? Sit for a week, two weeks, or three? I would be more of a deterrent than a da'iyah (caller to Islam), because they would see my prayer and worship as different from what they are accustomed to. So, I must stay there for years until they understand the correct da'wah (call to Islam) and the da'wah (call) begins to bear its fruit. But I am not prepared, neither in terms of the circumstances I am living in, nor in terms of the vitality I used to enjoy before.

The questioner: May Allah reward you with good, Shaykh.

The Shaykh : And beware of yourself.
