Effective
Communication
By
Irshad Mahmood – Director, Siraat-al-Mustaqeem Dawah Centre
Effective communication
is important
for living systems for power, control and survival. Without effective
communication societies or systems cannot organize themselves or
perform desired functions.
Living systems or societies are information processing units and
information can only be communicated effectively if the communication
channels are free from any disturbance or noise.
As an example: For transactions in banks, they need error free
transactions, “NOT A SINGLE MISTAKE”.
True
Contents, Style, Audience, Repeating & Reminding and Listening
Attentively are the Key Ingredients for the Effective Communication.
Allah told to listen to the Quraan with full attention is a part of
Effective Communication, (Ref: Al_Quraan_007.204).
Allah told to mind your
language, (Ref: Al_Quraan_004.148, 010.015 - 016).
Always make Duaa that
“If I am
wrong, May Allah Correct me. If you are Wrong, May Allah correct you.
If we both are wrong, May Allah correct both of us. AMEEN.”
Anger / Anxiety (Stress
or Tension)
hurts you, specially if it is from the loved ones. Don’t do the
Great Mistake that "I am Right". Both the prophets Musaa
(Peace-Be-Upon-Him) and Khizr (Peace-Be-Upon-Him) were prophets and
obeyed Allah BUT disagreed on some of their mission. There is NO
Compulsion in Religion/Belief, (Ref: Al_Quraan_002:256). "To you is
your religion, and to me is my religion", (Al_Quraan_109:006). It is
time to UNITE not DIVIDE.
Invite (all) to the Way
of thy Lord
with wisdom and beautiful preaching; and argue with them in ways that
are best and most gracious, (Ref: Al_Quraan_016.125).
Be a Role Model for your
Child as well as to the society. And make Duaa.
”Rabbi Zidnee Aailmaa”.
(O my Lord! Increase me in knowledge), (Ref: Al_Quraan_020.114), AMEEN.
”Rabbishrah Lee Sadree
Wayassir
Lee Amree Wahlul AAuqdatan Min Lisanee Yafqahoo Qawlee”. (O my
Lord! expand my breast; And ease my task for me; And loose the knot
from my tongue; So they may understand what I say), (Ref:
Al_Quraan_020.025 - 028), AMEEN.
To whom Allah has given
the ability to Dawah, MUST start doing Positive Dawah now.
To whom Allah has given
the ability to Speak, MUST start Speaking now BUT No-Violence.
To whom Allah has given
the ability to Write, MUST start Writing now BUT No-Violence.
To whom Allah has given
the ability to go on the Media, MUST start going on to the Media now
BUT No-Violence.
To whom Allah has given
the ability
to do other Peaceful and Non-Violent things, MUST start doing Peaceful
and Non-Violent things now.
Remember:
Violence is Hurting Islaam very BADLY.
And
withhold yourself with those who
call on their Lord morning and evening desiring His goodwill, and let
not your eyes pass from them (always yes sir, till they follow the
Quraan and Really Authentic Sunnah), desiring the beauties of this
world's life; and do not follow him whose heart We have made unmindful
to Our remembrance, and he follows his low desires and his case is one
in which due bounds are exceeded, (Al_Quraan_018.028).
Never Stop: Listening,
Learning and Thinking.
