What serves as a booster for da’wah activities? This can be understood by taking the example of the physicist Murray Gell-Mann of the US, who won the Physics Nobel Prize in 1969. He was acknowledged for his contribution in bringing order to man’s knowledge of the seemingly chaotic profusion of subatomic particles.

When Mr. Gell-Mann made his prize-winning discovery in the field of physics, he was overcome with the irresistible desire to make others aware of its facts. He innovated a scheme for this purpose. In the American city of Auspen, he arranged a cabaret show and invited the educated people. The show started and gradually reached its peak. Then suddenly some strange thing happened. In the words of the reporter, “Near the end of the show, physicist Murray Gell-Mann jumped up from the audience, dashed to the stage and exclaimed, “Stop everything! I have to explain to you the theory of the Universe. I understood how everything works.”

After the discovery of a truth, one cannot help but announce it to the world. Like a bursting force, it must come out of his existence and deluge the surroundings. Discovery makes a man a dayee—the caller of Truth. The case of Islamic da’wah is the same. If we could truly and sincerely realize the fact that tremendous opportunities are lying around us for spreading the message of Islam in the world, our body and soul would become restless to let this message be out. With even sharper intensity, we would behave like Murray Gell-Mann. We would dash before the people and proclaim, “stop everything and listen! We have the most important, the most momentous message for you. You acutely need it. Your life in this world and the life hereafter will be dismal without knowing this reality, and the reality is Islam, the preserved religion of God.”

Dawah Activism is, in fact, our ticket to paradise. It is in performing the prophetic role that we entitle ourselves to receive salvation in the Hereafter. May God guide us and accept the work that we are trying to do to make the following hadith come true:

 “There will be no home remaining – big or small – in which God has not entered the word of Islam.” – Musnad Ahmad
