How is dawah defined in our religion? What is dawah supposed to look like? Do you suggest any resources for learning more about dawah?\"}]}","answer":"{\"ops\":[{\"insert\":\"The dawah we are called to do is prophetic dawah—inviting people to Allah by connecting creation to the Creator. It must be rooted in grassroots efforts that focus on teaching the basics of Islam, clarifying misconceptions, and planting seeds of love for Allah and His Messenger in people's hearts, nurturing them so they grow and flourish. This requires embodying genuine care and compassion for others, without calling attention to oneself or seeking fame, followers, wealth, or power.\\n\\nTrue dawah means seeing oneself as a servant and inheritor of the prophetic mission. It is done purely for the sake of Allah, expecting no compensation, praise, or even love in return. The aim is to unite hearts in devotion to Allah, not to any person, group, movement, sect, or ideology. It is about conveying the truth with sincerity and without compromise. For anyone seeking to understand what true dawah entails, studying the life of the greatest caller and teacher, ṣalla-l-lāhu ʿalayhi wa sallam, is indispensable.\\n\\nMay Allah guide us back to the prophetic tradition.\"}]}","tags":[{"_id":"668d9fe80b76658b4c2328bd","tag":"Worship: Dawah","count":24}],"createdOn":"2024-10-02T01:26:45.787Z"}
