What is required for Da'wah to Reach a Person?


Alḥamdulillāh, Mufti Zameel-ur-Raḥmān of UK has given us permission to publish his post on our blog. We have given the title. It is reproduced hereunder:

 [All that is required for da‘wah to reach a person is that they have heard via several channels of the name of Muḥammad, that he claimed and really believed himself to be a Prophet and is said to have produced miracles. Once this message has reached them, they are dutybound to investigate. If they ignore the impulse to investigate, or due to worldly attachments no impulse to investigate even arises in them, and therefore do not believe based on ignorance, they are kāfir. A large portion of today’s westerners fall into this category. Just a basic message has to reach them: Muḥammad, he claimed and really believed himself to be a prophet, he has miracles - that's it. Most educated westerners, I believe, have received this message. That is sufficient for them to be mukallaf. The exception Imām al-Ghazālī refers to, apart from those who never heard the name Muḥammad at all, are those who were raised believing that “Muḥammad” was not a serious figure but someone who falsely claimed prophethood (e.g., for fame or for a personal agenda). Meaning, this was all they were ever told and never heard a basic outline of the truth because of being distant from Muslim societies. But, if someone hears both the distorted version and also a basic outline of the truth (that Muḥammad was a serious figure who sincerely claimed prophethood and was said to have performed miracles), then they are mukallaf to investigate.]

Is MTJ a GIGOLO?

  Is MTJ a GIGOLO?  What is a gigolo? Let us study the definition properly first,    In simple terms, a gigolo is a man who lives off the earnings or gifts of a woman. Now, is MTJ a gigolo or not? That's the question. Let us analyze the following program of MTJ in UK in January 2024, The 'spiritual evening' with MTJ was held in a concert arena. What kind of spirituality was being imparted there?  That's problematic enough. What is worse is what follows, Prior to the 'spiritual evening', there was a FEMALE ONLY meet and greet. Astaghfirullah. Then, a VIP meet and greet for 99 pounds! What were the women doing spending 99 pounds to meet a strange bearded man, who poses with his kurta and turban on? This is nothing but prostitution and reverse prostitution.  This evidence is enough to denounce MTJ and his filthy antics.  Once again, the hosts of MTJ in South Africa are called upon in advance to cancel the events of this filthy vile Shia loving gigolo.

I AM A VERY CONCERNED MUSLIM...

  I AM A VERY CONCERNED MUSLIM... 1. For this reason, I see, understand and realize that Islam is under attack. I have closely followed societal trends in the past, but now I feel empty of what I would previously experience from my practices as a Muslim, without the frills and fusses of modernism. I AM A VERY CONCERNED MUSLIM... 2. I understand that what my parents, grandparents, and family did before - also as concerned Muslims - is very different from what the modern Muslim community is doing.   I AM A VERY CONCERNED MUSLIM... 3. I know that Islam teaches modesty and shame, so I shall not engage in free mixing at family functions, nor shall I attend lecture events with mixed audiences, even if the speaker seems very famous. As a concerned man, I shall not attend programs of a woman, and as a woman, I shall not attend the lectures of strange men, except if it is fully in-line with Hijab, with a solid barrier, where I cannot see the speaker, and he cannot see me. I AM A VERY C...

Why has Jolani & the Mujahideen who Liberated Syria not Marched against Israel? - Mawlana Afzal Ismail

  Why has Jolani and the Mujahideen who liberated Syria not marched against Israel? This is a question many Muslims are asking. There are important lessons to learn from the timelines of the liberation of Al-Aqsa by Salah-ud-Deen Ayyubi rahimahullah.  559 - 565 AH - Egypt 569 AH - Yemen 571 AH - Damascus 579 AH - Aleppo 581 AH - Mosul 583 AH - Tiberius 583 AH - Ascalon, Jaffa, Acre, Beirut, Siddon 583 AH - Jerusalem In other words, Salah-ud-Deen Ayyubi rahimahullah began his military campaign in Egypt in 559 AH and liberated Al-Aqsa in 583 AH. It took 25 years. In the last 5 years, there have been two major positive developments in the Muslim world: 1. Afghanistan was liberated from the kufr plots of the Americans 2. Syria was liberated from the oppressive Shia Only time will tell how the current Syrian leadership will influence Al-Aqsa and Palestine. May Allah guide them and protect them from the plots of the enemies of Islam. The oppression and brutality of Israel will end. ...
