Best of you

6. "The best of mankind is my generation, then those that follow them and then those that follow them. Then there shall come a people after them who will become avaricious, who will love gluttony, and who will give witness before they are asked for it." [Tirmidhî, Sahîh]

Quotes to remember

11. It was narrated that Abu Hanifa said to Dawud al-Taa’i, “Why do you prefer seclusion?” Dawud replied, “To struggle against myself to leave disputing.” Abu Hanifah said, “Attend meetings, listen to what is said, and remain silent.” Dawud said, “I have done so, but I have found nothing heavier than this.”

Salafs sayings

It is reported that Imām Al-Zuhrī – Allāh have mercy on him – said:

Those of our scholars who went before us used to say,”Adherence to the Sunnah is salvation, but knowledge is taken away quickly, so the revival of knowledge means the stability of religion and worldly affairs, and the loss of knowledge means the loss of all that.”

Al-Lālakā`ī, Sharh Usūl I’tiqād Ahl Al-Sunnah article 136

Da' wah with Audio cassettes is Resorted to only When Necessary

 


Question:

I know that we are supposed to call to Islam; is it sufficient, through, for me to give an audio cassette as a gift to someone who I invite, especially since I don't have suitable skills to call people in other ways?
Answer:

For sure, inviting others orally will have more profound effects then merely giving somebody a book or tape that they may or may not read. He will usually benefit from that tape when he is already seeking out the truth, but he will usually not benefit when he is coerced into listening to it. So when someone does not have much time, for example, he could give somebody a tape or a cassette. Otherwise, he will be more successful in his Da' wah if he speaks face to face with the person who he wants to invite.
