DA’EE’S TRAINING ROGRAM – [DTP]

FOR MUSLIM YOUTH

[December 5, 2007]

 

 

I would like to put before you some hard facts of our existence in America as Muslims:

 

1. Since the time of Rasulullah (S), world and its means have changed but not the Method and the process of Dawah Ilallah towards “introducing & spreading” His Deen to the people of the land

2. Islam is no where visible or found in a dominant position on earth as the Deen of Allah in the body politics of the land.

3. While efforts towards Iqama of His Deen are going on around the world, the USA had become super mega-power, is conscious of its dominant position, striving hard to control the world through the spread of its culture and secular values, and is determined to conspire and militarily oppose the emergence of Islam anywhere on earth as a political entity.

4. This process must be stopped through Extensive and Intensive Dawah activities, failing which, Islam will never emerge as a political entity anywhere in this world.

5. This situation demands that genuine and sincere efforts must equally be made in this country towards Dawah Ilallah to its logical conclusion and that needs a team of trustworthy and effective Da’ee Ilallah in the context of the modern world on the pattern Rasulullah (S) built his (S) team at the very outset of his (S) mission. America is no exception to it.

6.  I have been advocating and urging our American Muslim leadership for decades to work for it on the same lines but, practically, it has turned a deaf ear to it.

7.  On April 22, 07, in our meeting at the residence of Mohtram Wahid Bhai in Milwaukee, I emphasized the same point and we resolved to work in that direction but more than six months have passed and the progress is hardly visible.

8.  Finding no way out and feeling the urgency of the situation, we have resolved, with the “Mashwarah” of Forum’s brothers, to build the requisite Team of Da’ees, starting from NY early in 2008 and expanding all over the country later on gradually in sequence. 

 

9. In the appended Flyer, you will find the comprehensive Da’ees Training Program [DTP] towards building the effective Teams of Da’ees. I urge your help, close cooperation and Du’a to get it implemented as envisaged therein.

 

10. The entire process of DTP has been divided into EIGHT HEADS and each head is further divided into sub-subjects/ sub-Topics. You are requested to earmark the subject  or subjects that you would prefer most to undertake teaching to the students or the would-be Da’ees. 

 

11. After selecting the subject/topics, you will suggest the reading material and fix the possible time when you will be able to teach the students at NY. We will set up your time schedule within the parameters of our on-going program at NY and shall give you ample time to visit us during a weekend, stating clearly: how many hours you will take to teach your undertaken subject with full justice. In our humble way we will try to meet your air passage, Insha Allah.

 

The Program is appended below:
