Dawa same as selling any other product

[pluto]

Hey, I kinda like the "Sir" before my name; makes me feel like Royalty. LOL

Thank you for the info about the books. I will have to see about purchasing them for my library.

Anything that will help me with the Deen is greatly appreciated.

Salawalaykumm,

Sir, you are TRUE royalty, for someone to have stayed steadfast on the truth despite 9/11 when Muslims themselves have either abandoned the faith or like to conceal it, addressing you as 'Sir' is but a small gesture of respect from my side

While your dawah among the non-Muslims is to be greatly appreciated Alhamdulillah, please do set aside some time to give dawah to us Muslims too, make them aware of their responsibilities too, esp. among the modernists secularists amongst us.

Here's a link for Hayatus Sahabah [The lives of the companions of the Last Prophet pbuh] Link

In my humble opinion some of the Qualities of true daiee encapsulated by the Sahab (RAD)
1. Sincere 2. humble 3. modest (in all sense) 4. Strict adherent to Shariah in matters related to self 5. Abid (not just 5 times prayer but has adkar in tounge and in the heart & regular in Tahajud Salat 6. Empathy 7. good judge of self and situation 8. intense in their love of Allah and his Rasul

There is no one way of doing dawah but some are more effective depending on the situation. Often a socalled daiee does more harm to self in his activity, resulting from lack of realisation of self. One does dawah for sole pleasure of Allah and not to feed self ego.
Allahualam
