In the Name of Allah, the Magnificent,
the Merciful
DAWAH ILALLAH & ITS MANIFOLD DIMENSIONS
[Shamim A Siddiqi]
·
1.Message of all Prophets
of God is the same - Form Adam to Mohammed
(S):
·
Allah is our creator and sustainer :
We must be obedient to Him- always to follow what He commands to do and keep
away what He prohibited us not to do;
·
He created this cosmos and what it
contains for all human’s Physical needs & urgency: Then He sent Humans to
earth as his vicegerent and trustee of what we see and possesses and not as
Master. As such, we all are Accountable to Him after death [both the Messenger
what he delivered and his people for the manner we used them on earth: To be
rewarded by God if used them for benefit of mankind and to be punished by Him
if used for destruction/Debasement of human society.
·
The model to follow is the life
pattern of the Messenger of time. Prophet Muhammad (s) is the last Messenger to
humanity and will continue to be so till Doomsday.
·
To call humanity to the fold of the
Creator and Sustainer till we breathe the
last;
2. The Job assigned to the Messenger: Ref: Verse# 129
of Al-Baqarah:
1. Presentation of the
Book: 2. Teaching/Explaining
the Book with wisdom; 3. Purification
of his followers- both thought process and character building; 4. Presenting his own life as the Model
& Establishing a Model society/State for humanity to follow till Doomsday. [Ref:
Verse #125 of Surah Al Nahal + 41:33]
3. Messenger’s
Accountability & that of his Ummah to whom he was sent: Verse #109
of Surah Al-Maidah: “On the
Day when Allah gathers together the Messenger and saith: What are your response
(from mankind)? They say: We have no knowledge. Lo! Thou, only Thou are the
knower of the things hidden.”
·
The Messengers will be asked: have
they delivered the Message properly. Then his people will be asked: How they
responded to the call of the Messenger [Ref Al-Airaf #7:6&7]
The Domain of Accountability from the followers of each
Ummah: 1. How for you obeyed your God and
fulfilled His rights upon you:
4. THE RIGHTS OF ALLAH TO BE QUESTIONED IN AKHIRAH FROM
EVERY MUSLIM:
1. Have you followed what He commanded to do and where you disobeyed or
failed to follow Him? [The followers must know his Do & Don’t];
2. How far you kept the trust He placed in your hands honestly as Amanah and
where you failed to do so and misused it – including your Time, Talents, Energy
& Resources?
3. How far you invited the people of your time and delivered the Message
of GOD to other people [the humanity] as the Messenger did to you?
·
Our
success on the Day of Judgment depends on our correct answers that O My Lord! I
did what you ordained me to do through your Messenger. Only he/she will enter
into Jannah. The rest will be thrown into Hellfire.
5.
THE SIGNIFCANCE OF ACCOUNTABILTY ON THE DAY OF
JUDGEMENT:
1. What a horrible Day it would be when
you alone will be standing with your scroll of deeds in your hands before your
Lord Who knows all about your ins and outs and all and everything will be
witness against you including your body parts. Its importance can be envisioned
for the following event.
2. One day Rasulullah
(s) asked his (s) beloved companion, Abdullah Bin Maswood (RA) to recite the
Qur’an for him (S). He responded: Should I recite the Quran to you when the
Quran was directly revealed to you? Rasulullah (S) asked: You recite to me. Hearing
this, Ibne Maswood (RA) started reciting the Quran from Surah Al-Nisa. He was
of one the best Q’uari of the Quran and when he reached to verse #41: “But
how (will it be with them) when We bring of every people a witness, and We
bring thee [O Mohammed (S)] a witness against these? Rasulullah (S), realizing the horrible reality of that Day was crying
like anything. Seeing his condition IBNE Maswood (RA) stopped recitation.
References from the Quran:* Surah Al-ASR; Surah Luqman: 17. Surah
Al-Hadeed: 25; Surah Al-Surah: 15; Al-Saf: 9; Surah Al-Fathe: 28; Al-Maida: 116
to 118: [Request you all to study all above noted
Verses from Tafheem or Tadabbur whatever you have]
6. WHAT IS
DAWAH ILALLAH – THE INTENSIVE DAWAH WORK? It is to call the
people of the land to the fold of their Creator and Sustainer in a continuous
process till he or she accepts the Deen of Allah as the only Way of file. It is
a disciplined and organized effort. It is a person to person contact on
individual level to thrash out the individuals who stand with us and who are
deviated. Those who stand with you absorbed them into Jemaah and went on
increasing their numbers till the circle envelopes an Electoral Constituency to
enable you to send your own representative to the National and Provincial Assemblies
as it is suitable.
IMPORTANT
NOTES:
1. All the above Qur’anic References give due emphasis over the task of
Dawah Ilallah to the people of the land where one lives and the humanity at
large at Global Level. Without this homogenous Dawah efforts, Allah’s Deen cannot
be established NOW anywhere on this earth.
2.
In the context of modern world the USA
must be its focus point to begin with. The Muslims of America have an enormous
responsibility on their shoulders as the USA is the Epoch Center of modern
Jahiliyah as the Makkah was at the time of Rasulullah (S). He (S) started the
IM of his (S) time from Arabian Peninsula, As such, today’s Muslims must
organize the IM of the age form the USA – the Epic Center of all modern evils
and vices. It will be all Khair. The Way Allah’s Nusrah Came as promised by Him
in Verse # 69 of Al-Ankabut. Similarly, the Nusrah will come to us assuredly when
we will start a genuine effort in this age – a challenge for ICNA. Our MGA’s have
to accept this challenge, the only way to get into Jannah in the context of modern
world.
3.
It will give a great boost to the
back home Movements which are bogged down in the wake of the tragedy of 9/11,
the collapse of the Arab Spring and the constant interference of secular world
in Muslim countries. This will be the
Game of Rebound – playing in America and reaping the harvest in Muslim lands.
4.
It will usher in the era of building
ultimate Global Islamic Movement to fulfill the Ba’sat-e-A’lami of Rasulullah
(S) which is long due upon all living Muslim men and women being the Ambassadors
of Rasulullah (S) at large [Reference to my Book: “Global Islamic Movement –
Why & How,”] available on my website: www.dawahinamericas.com
5.
ICNA’s MGA’s have to play a great
role in this process as the pioneers of the Muslim Renaissance to begin with
from our Land of Opportunities as the Khair for humanity at large.
6.
Equally, in its wake, the USA and its
people will get an enormous chance to play as the Savior of mankind with Muslim
Ummah as a whole when we all will stand together for Justice to all and malice
to none.
7.
It is imperative on all of us that we
must stand together to play our role in remodeling this human abode and carve
out a place of eternal pleasure in Paradise that is destined for a Muslim and
Muslimah who lives and dies for this supreme honor in both the worlds and the
cost of immense sacrifice that we have to pay with the Tawfeeq of our Allah
(SWT) and we have to beg for it with every passing moment of our life.
8.
Ameen! Allah Hummah Barik Fe
Hey. May Allah (SWT) bless our will to
fulfill our determination, to seek the best of both the worlds!
