Begin Daʿwah with the Self

Begin Daʿwah with the Self

Our duty as Muslims is to uphold amr bil maʿrūf wa nahy ʿan al-munkar—to command what is right and forbid what is wrong—not just in public, but first within ourselves. 

The true daʿwah begins in the heart: when we purify our intentions, our actions naturally call others to Allah. 

Spreading Islam is not limited to preaching; it’s in our character, our prayer, our honesty, and our compassion. 

Let us use our time and health, which are among Allah’s greatest blessings, to gently invite ourselves and others toward light, sincerity, and righteousness—before the time comes when neither health nor time remain. 

May Allah bless our efforts, our time, and our days with barakah.
