The Effects of Islamic Religion on Maintaining the Territorial Integrity
(Part 52)
The Continuation of the Matter:
Making Da’wat (Transferring the Message of Islam to Human Being)
Transferring the Message of Islam, and guiding people to religious values has been one of the principles of the mission of the divine prophets as the main guideline of their programs. God, the Almighty says in the honor of the callers:
«الَّذِينَ يُبَلِّغُونَ رِسَالَاتِ اللَّهِ وَيَخْشَوْنَهُ وَلَا يَخْشَوْنَ أَحَدًا إِلَّا اللَّهَ وَكَفَى بِاللَّهِ حَسِيبًا» (Al-Aḥzāb-39)
Those (bygone) people used to communicate the messages of Allah, and fear Him, and they were afraid of none but Allah. And Allah is Sufficient as a Reckoner.
Accordingly, every member of the Islamic community is obliged to invite people to values and to refrain from anti-values. Throughout history, believers have considered their first duty to guide and invite people to the right faith. This method continued after the Holy Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him). Muslims used every opportunity to distribute Islam. According to this task, the businessman who traveled to the farthest parts of the world to earn a living, did not neglect to inviting others to Islam, also considered his main job as Da’ee (Preacher of Islam) and did not spare any effort to spread Islam, and it was in this way that Islam reached the farthest parts of the world and places where Moslem conquerors in the beginning of Islam and after that had not reached.
From the first days of calling for Islam, a group of well-educated scholars in terms of religion took on the mission of preaching and protecting Islam and spreading it. From the days when the Holy Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) sent Musab Ibn Umayrha, Mu’adh Ibn Jabalha and Abdullah Ibn Rawaha and others to various places to convey the message and teaching of Islam, then the core of the invitation was formed. The Prophet of Islam (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) formed various gatherings by reciting sermons in Hajj, Friday and congregational gatherings, and sometimes by writing letters to propagate the teachings and rules of Islam. In the seventh year of AH, by providing relative internal security, they expanded the scope of propaganda and sent da’ees (preacher) to guide the rulers and nations of those days.
The call of Islam is the cause of unity and awakening of the young generation. Muslims revolt against the occupiers and aggressors through Islamic callers and scholars. During the last fifty years in Afghanistan, most of the revolutions and Islamic movements have taken place thanks to the invitation of the invitees. The Islamic call is not only useful and effective for the rise of Muslim nations against foreigners; Rather, it transmits the message of truth, spreads the Islamic knowledge, preserves Islamic culture and strengthens the belief and faith of all generations.
