Dawah Language
By Irshad
Mahmood – Director, Siraat-al-Mustaqeem Dawah Centre
Language of Dawah should
be in mother
tongue of the person to whom it is given, e.g. if one’s mother
tongue is Russian, you should do Dawah in Russian and give the Quraan
Translation in Russian if they are interested, similarly if one’s
mother tongue is Chinese, you should do Dawah in Chinese and give the
Quraan Translation in Chinese if they are interested. BUT for those,
whose mother tongue is Arabic, you must do Dawah in Arabic and you must
give them original Quraan in Arabic if they are interested. There are
still millions of Arabic speaking Non-Muslims around the world
including Muslim countries like Egypt, Jordon, Lebanon, Syria and Iraq
etc. Before doing Dawah you must first prove yourself that you are true
honest, devoted and very helpful and sincere. Rasool Allah (saw) first
proved himself that he was true honest and trustworthy etc. before he
became messenger of Allah.
Adopting
the right Media to do Dawah is necessary:
It is not only language
but also
Media plays a key role in doing Dawah. In one of the lectures, Sheikh
Tauseef Ur Rehman mentioned his reason that there are lots of shirk in
the media and someone has to be there to clear all misconceptions that
is one of the reason why he started coming on the media although he
hate to come on media.

In simple terms, if you
leave any gap
shaitaan will enter. For all this you have to turn on the light of the
Quraan to through away the darkness. If you leave the media (internet,
movie etc.) shaitaan will spread his message, similarly if you leave
the music, shaitaan will spread his message, what I can see clearly,
just in Pakistan alone many youngsters have craze of movies and love
songs etc. But if we come up there with true message of the Quraan,
they will sure come towards Islaam, Inshaa Allah. Clear example we can
see, in India, when it was extremely hard to do Dawah in front of
Indian Bhajans, Auliyaas discovered this new techniques and they used
exactly same instruments to do Dawah. Although they had a great break
through in Hindus and many converted/reverted to Muslims in the past in
India. BUT very sadly, later people changed and instead of passing
Quraanic message, they deviated from the Quraan.
Now it is time to bring
back our
youths from deviated music etc. to Islaamic Nasheeds etc. by giving
true Quraanic message in that by using exactly same modern musical
instruments, but strict to Quraan and only true Quraaninc message in
that. Prepare good Islamic Cartoons to train our little cute infants
and kids to come to the Quraan.
Remember: These
medias are just a bridge to call towards the Quraan.
Get
out from your barrack / hujra / cave and start doing Effective Dawah
from the Quraan with wisdom by all means including modern technologies,
