Guidance for Dā‘ī in Prophetic Model And Illumination of Wrong Notions in Da‘wah Context

Abstract

Unlike other religions, Islam does not divide its followers into two distinct categories of clergy and laity and the absence of clerical order imposes on every Muslim the obligation to convey the divine message of Islam to whole mankind through percept and example. Sunnah of Prophet Muhammad (May the blessing and peace of Allah be upon him) is indeed a light house for Muslim to understand and propagate Islam. This paper attempts to highlight issues of core significance like devotion, dedication, humbleness, clarity of vision and being a role model from sīrah with illumination of wrong notions spread in da‘wah context.
