Translation of the Qur’an
It should be perfectly clear that the Qur’an is only authentic in its original
language,Arabic.Since perfect translation of the Qur’an is impossible,we
have used the translation of the meaning of the Qur’an’throughout the book,
as the result is only a crude meaning of the Arabic text.
Qur’anic ayatand transliterated
words have been italicised.
Ahadith appear in bold.

* This book, “The Da’wah to Islam”, deals with one of the most 18
important subjects presented in the Islamic arena. This subject is wide, 19
with many branches,and delicate.It is a subject whose terrain is rugged 20
and not smooth. The Alimmah (scholors) and mujtahidoon from our 21
past - may Allah be pleased with them - did not discuss it at great length 22
as they did with other topics, such as the ‘ibadaat (ritual worships), 23
mu’amalaat(societal transactions),marriage and inheritance etc.The major 24
part they discussed in the subject of,“the call to Islam”revolved around 25
“enjoining the ma’roof (good) and forbidding the munkar (evil)” and 26
around the individual da’wah. This is because it did not occur to them 27
that the Islamic Khilafah would be uprooted,the Islamic state would be 28
destroyed,the Islamic Sharee’ah would be suspended and that the Islamic 29
lands would be transformed from dar al-Islam(the domain of Islam) to dar 30
al-kufr(domains of kufr).If any such thing did occur to them,then they 31
would not be able to present answers and solutions to it, because the 32
mujtahid solves real issues and not issues that are expected or assumed. 33
34
Therefore,this book merely contributes to the subject.We do not claim 35
that it is complete and comprehensive. However, it is a serious attempt 36
to relocate this subject from the whims, wilderness, extravagance and 37
blind imitation of the Kuffar to the correct Islamic Shar’ee foundations. 38

on the basis of executing its plan within the timeframe demanded by the 4
nature of this plan. Otherwise, the block is not serious or is working 5
without guidance.Second,if the block fails to execute its plan and realise 6
its aim within a reasonable amount of time, does this mean that it has 7
made mistakes in some of its programmes and therefore,it must review 8
these programmes to rectify them? Or does this mean that the block is 9
not sincere to Allah and that is why Allah did not fulfill the victory at their 10
hands? Such a book is supposed to answer these issues. 11
‘Then you abandon all those groups, even if you have to bite 12
* The book of “The Da’wah to Islam” is supposed to answer some onto the trunk of a tree until death comes to you as such.’”So they 13
questions and dispel some doubts and correct the concepts relevant to understand from this that in the event that the Khaleefah of the Muslims 14
them.For example: does not exist,then it is not obligatory on the Muslims to work for the 15
establishemnt of the Khilafah,rather what is required from someone is 16
1 - There are those people who misunderstand the saying of Allah ; to isolate himself until he dies. 17
18
4 - There are those who misunderstand the noble hadith: 19

21
22
“O you who believe, guard your own souls; if you follow guidance, no hurt can 23
come to you from those who went astray.”[TMQ 5:105].Thus they understand 24
from this that the Muslim is only responsible for himself and his family “There will not be a year or a day that will come upon you save 25
and not responsible for carrying the da’wah to people. that which follows it is worse than it,until you meet your Lord”,so 26
the matter leads him to despair,hopelessness and abstention from action. 27
2 - There are some who misunderstand the meaning of the sacred 28
hadith: 5 - There are those who say that the change of affairs is the task of the 29
Mahdi and it is not our job.The result would be to refrain from action. 30

* This book has dealt with most of the issues mentioned in this 32
“It is not right that a believer should humiliate himself, and introduction,just as it has addressed many other issues.If it is deficient 33
expose himself to an affliction, which he cannot bear.” Thus, he in any way then perfection lies with Allah alone.Perhaps,the second 34
understands from this that every action which exposes him to hardship edition will be more exhaustive and complete with the help and aid of 35
such as imprisonment,expulsion from work and the anger of the unjust Allah .We pray to Allah that He makes this book of benefit to the 36
rulers etc, he must avoid it even if he abandoned the da’wah and Muslims and that He rewards its author with the best reward. 37
complied with the unjust rulers. 38
Peace and blessings of Allah upon our Master Muhammad,his family 39
