Question:
The means of da'wah (calling others to Islam) are based on divine text. Is this the correct view?

Answer:
The means of da'wah (calling others to Islam) are subject to independent legal reasoning; they are not based on divine text.
What is based on divine text is knowledge. One must have knowledge.
Say, “This is my path; I call to Allah with insight,قُلْ هَذِهِ سَبِيلِي أَدْعُو إِلَى اللَّهِ عَلَى بَصِيرَةٍ
[Yusuf:108] When knowledge comes, it is to be implemented. Knowledge is conveyed through writing, speech, the telephone, or any means available for calling people to Allah.
