The present age is highly favourable to the communication of the word of God. Today we are living in an age of religious freedom, with communication facilities available as never before in human history. And we are in possession of effective dawah
literature,
books,
audios and
videos explaining Islam in the modern idiom. In such a situation there is simply no excuse for anyone to shirk the duty of dawah. No one, man or woman, can be excused from it on the plea that he did not have the ability to do dawah work.
To perform dawah work today, one is not required to abandon all one’s activities and then study all the relevant subjects to become a scholar, for all these steps have already been taken. Now, without changing your life’s plan at all you can make dawah a part of your life, and fulfill your dawah responsibilities in the best possible manner.
Now all you have to do is involve yourself in the dawah mission of
Al-Risala,
Al-Quran Mission. Powerful dawah literature has already been produced by this mission in a number of languages. You should simply keep this literature with you all the time, so that whenever you happen to meet anyone, you may present a copy to him by saying:
“Sir, this is for you.”
You can keep this literature in your office, in your shop, in your institute — at a place visible to the visitors. People will take copies on their own and read them. This is the spirit of an age in which people want to know more and more about everything. We have to avail of this opportunity and work to the advantage of dawah. The times have done their job, now it is our responsibility to learn of modern opportunities and avail of them fully.
