Rasulullah In Islam

The source of Science of da’wah in Islam based on Al Quran and Hadith of the prophet Rasulullah (S.A.W.) as Jabir bin Abdullah (r.a.) narrated that Allah’s Messenger (S.A.W.) said, “The best speech is that embodied in the Book of Allah, and the best guidance is the guidance given by Muhammad (S.A.W.). The most evil affairs are their innovations, and every innovation is an error.” (Sahih Muslim 867 a, Book 7, Hadith 55). This show that the knowledge of Islam especially the knowledge of da’wah, should use the Qur’an and Hadith as the ultimate sources. Moreover, according to Sidi Gazalba and Zainab Ismail, one of the problem in da’wah is the content is not from Qur’an and Hadith. Hence, using the right sources is important, to avoid the dai’e

“Let there be no compulsion in religion: Truth stands out clear from Error” [2:256]. Allah will guides whomever He wills, the dai’e can only convey the message of Islam, Allah (s.w.t) said “The Messenger's duty is only to preach the clear (Message)” [24:54]. Rasulullah (S.A.W.) want his dearest uncle Abu Talib, to embrace Islam, but Abu Talib did not embrace Islam until his dead. Allah said, “It is not required of thee (O Messenger), to set them on the right path, but Allah sets on the right path whom He pleaseth” [2:272]

Narrated 'Aaishah (r.a.a): “The Prophet (S.A.W) used to talk so clearly that if somebody wanted to count the number of his words, he could do so”. (Sahih al-Bukhari, Book 61, Hadith 77). The dai’e can repeat the message two to three times, to make sure the other person get the message clearly and understand it, as Rasulullah did, narrated from Anas bin Maalik (r.a.a): "Whenever the Prophet spoke a sentence (said a thing), he used to repeat it thrice so that the people could understand it properly from him" (Sahih al-Bukhari Book 3, Hadith
