A. Six Points (6-Siffats)
B. Some Aayats (Verses) in Qur’an regarding the Importance of Da’wah & Tabligh
C. Tarteeb of Da’wat and Tabligh
Assalamo ‘Alaikum to all respected elders & brothers in Islam. Alhamdulillah, we thank Allah for the infinite Ni’mah
(blessings) He has given to us. He created us as a mankind and a Muslim and among the Ummah of Rasulullah (SAW).
He is the Creator, the Sustainer and the King of this world and the Hereafter. Allah created us purposely to worship Him
as He stated in Qur’an; “I did not create Jinn and mankind except to worship Me.” He wanted us to be successful in this
dunya and hereafter that is why He sent Anbiya (AS) & the last was our Prophet Mohammad (SAW).
The real success is what Allah Taalah stated in the Qur’an; “those who were saved from the Hell and will enter Paradise
are the successful ones.” Life in this dunya is very short maybe 60-70 yrs of living, we will die and the life hereafter is the
eternal life with beginning and with out ending. To be successful in dunya and akhirat is to bring in ourself the complete
Deen (Islamic Religion) and Iman (Belief) according to the ways (sunnah) of Rasulullah (SAW). To facilitate following the
complete deen is to bring into ourselves certain qualities what we call the Six-Points (6-Siffat) which is common to the
Sahaba (RA) that is why they achieved the complete deen & iman.
MEANING: The meaning of the Kalima is: There is no god but Allah
OBJECTIVE: Our objective is to bring into ourselves the certainty (Yakeen) of the fact that whatever happens, happens
with the Will of Allah. That Allah can do anything without the help of makhluq (creation) and makhluq cannot do anything
without Allah’s Will. It is to take out from our hearts the ghairullah (other than Allah) & love of makhluq; and to enter the
love of Allah (SWT) as love of Allah will not enter into the hearts full of love of Dunya.
VIRTUES: One of the virtues of this Kalima is that it is stated in hadith that, “He who bears witness that there is none
worthy of worship except Allah, and that Muhammad (SAW) is the Messenger of Allah, and his tongue frequently recites
it while his heart is contented with it, the Fire shall not burn him.”
EFFORT: Our objective to acquire true Yakeen can be achieved by giving effort in Da’wat of the Siffat (Qualities) /
Greatness of Allah; to listen to Da’wat of the Siffat / Greatness of Allah & to think/ponder of the Greatness / Siffat of Allah,
& to make Duaa to Allah to have it. That, Allah is The Creator, He creates all the creatures. He gives life & causes death.
He is the Sustainer, He gives Rizq to all living creatures. He is the King, in this world & the Hereafter. Food can benefit
living things by the Will of Allah. Water is dependant on the hukm (command) of Allah to quench thirst. Fire can burn only
by the permission of Allah. Weapons can kill by the leave of Allah. Also, to cure, medication is contingent on Allah’s
hukm. Allah gives power to whom He wills & take power from whom He wills. Allah is in control of the affairs of the
universe and of mankind, and He (Allah) Knows all and Witnesses every secret. Good & bad condition comes from Allah,
etc, etc…
OBJECTIVE: The second is Dhikr, and our objective is to have awareness & remembrance of Allah in 24 hours & in
every circumstances.
VIRTUES: Some of the virtues of Dhikr stated in hadith is that; “When some people who gather and engage in
remembering Allah ‘Azza wa Jall, not intending anything except Allah’s pleasure, an angel calls them from the heavens:
Get up duly forgiven! As indeed your sins have been replaced with virtues”. “Allah the Almighty and Majestic says: I am
with My slave when he remembers Me and till his lips move while remembering Me.” “Is anyone of you unable to earn a
thousand virtues daily? One of those sitting with him asked (Nabi): How can one earn a thousand virtues in a day? He
replied: If one glorifies Allah one hundred times (for example, SubhanAllah [Transcendent is Allah] one hundred times), a
thousand virtues are recorded for him and a thousand sins are removed from him”.
EFFORT: Our objective can be achieved by giving effort in Da’wat of Dhikr & to engage in constant Dhikr of Allah in every
circumstances. This dhikr should be done with presence of heart and mind, concentrating on the words being uttered like
Tilawat Qur’an, repetition of “Laa Ilaaha Illallah”, Ashtaghfirullah”, “Allahummasalli ‘Ala Nabiyyina Mohammad (SAW)”
100x each AM & PM & other adhkar when eating, sleeping, etc.
MEANING: The meaning of Ikram Al-Muslimin is Service & Honoring the fellow Muslims
OBJECTIVE: Our objective is to have love, respect, generosity & patience towards our fellow Muslims. We should give
their rights & forego our rights to them.
VIRTUES: Some of the virtues of Ikram stated in hadith is that; “"When a Mu'min meets another Mu'min, greets him,
takes his hand and shakes it, their sins are shed off just as leaves are shed off a tree”. “No one will attain true Iman
(faith) until he wish for his brother muslim what he wish for himself”. “Indeed, the most perfect believer in faith is one who
has the best manners and is the kindest to his family; and the best of you are those who are best to their wives”.
“Nothing will weigh more heavily in the Balance of the believing slave on the Day of Resurrection than a good attitude
towards others.” “.Anyone with these three qualities shall be under the shade of Allah’s Mercy (on the Day of
Resurrection) and will be admitted into Paradise: 1) Courtesy towards the weak, 2) Compassion to parents 3) Kindness
to slaves (subordinates). “Whoever humbles himself for the sake of Allah, Allah will exalt him; as a result of that he
considers himself small, yet in the eyes of people he becomes great. But he who is arrogant, Allah abases him; and he
becomes small in the eyes of people, although he considers himself great to the extent that people consider him to be
worse than a dog or a pig”.
EFFORT: Our objective to achieve the quality of Ikram is to give effort in Da’wat of Ikram & through practical application
by respecting one’s elders, showing kindness to the young & women, and honoring the ‘Ulema. Whether one is dealing
with one’s spouse, family, relatives, friends or acquaintances, to always put the other ahead of oneself. To, at all times,
be ready to sacrifice one’s own desires for another.
The number of days is not compulsory, it is only recommended just as it is recommended that a person studying first aid,
for example, serves one month as practicals. While he will not be an expert in medicine, he will know the basic things to
do during an emergency. Similarly, a person going out for 3 days, 40 days, 4 months, etc. does not become an expert on
Shariah, but he will learn the basic requirements of Shariah. The more time he gives, the more he will learn and perfect
himself. The time frame is not a criteria according to Shariah.
There are some commandments in Shari’ah in which the method is not stipulated. For example, it is a commandment of
Shariah to acquire knowledge, but the manner in which the Madrasas are established today, is not proven through Quran
and Hadith. Up until the recent past, the scholars used to teach in the masjids of their respective towns and villages. The
students had to go to different scholars to learn the different sciences. No arrangements of food or boarding were made.
However, the zeal for knowledge had decreased as time went by, and the scholars felt it necessary to establish the
system of Darul Ulooms as is established today. Nobody regards such a system to be bid’ah.
Similarly, Shariah has commanded us to do the work of da’wah & tableegh. This work used to be done on an individual
basis. The learned people used to preach the others and prevent them from all vices. As time went on, vice started
prevailing, and people had stopped doing the work on an individual basis; therefore, a collective effort had to take place,
and rules had to be set up for the work to carry on in order.
The overwhelming success of the Jamaat Tabligh is mainly because of the manifestation of the Six Points which involves
the purification of the Naffs (desire) and the entity of Tawheed (Oneness of Allah) & adhering to the Sunnah (Ways)of
Nabi Mohammad (SAW).
A few fundamental points have to be borne in mind:
a).Practically every Surah of the Qur'aan mentions Jihaad in the way of Allaah. When academics discuss the meaning of
Jihaad, one understands it to express many aspects relating to the upkeep of Deen. It will mean, to exert oneself for
Deen, to strive for the protection of Deen, to endeavour for the defence of Deen, to spread the Deen, to preach and
propagate the Deen, to teach all branches of Deen, to engage in physical contact in order to upkeep, maintain, defend,
protect, spread and propagate the Kalimah of Tauheed of Islaam.
b.) Da'wah (inviting) and Tabligh (propagating) of Deen is Jihaad (striving in the Deen). Jihaad leads eventually to
“Qitaal” martyrdom or killing for the pleasure of Allaah without exceeding the stipulated boundaries of the Shariah.
c.) To learn about Deen is Fardh (obligatory). To preach and propagate Deen is also Fardh (obligatory). To protect and
defend Deen can be done in various ways and the Tabligh Jamaat is one of the most excellent, which has been proven
by experience to protect the Deen. We observe that the Tabligh Jamaat is like a mobile Madrassah and is extremely
effective for the masses and professionals. It is that international movement that has reformed the lives of not hundreds,
but thousands. Every day so many people enter the Tabligh Jamaat and reform themselves to become good members of
society when they have formerly been.
And Allah Ta'ala Knows Best.
B. Some Aayats (Verses) in Qur’an regarding the Importance of Da’wah & Tabligh:
Amount of Angels
1) There is a river in Jannat in which Hazrat Jibraeel (Alayhis salaam) enters. When he comes out of this river, he shakes
his entire body drying himself. From every drop of water 1 angel is born.
2) Hazrat Ibn Abbas Radhiallaho anho relates the Prophet (Sallallaho alaihe wasallam) saying, one of the angels of Allah
if told to swallow the seven heavens and the seven earth's in one morsel, he has the ability to do so.
3) In the seventh heaven exists the Qiblah for the angels. Everyday 70,000 angels are present making Tawaf and due to
the amount of angels they are unable to have a second opportunity for Tawaf till the day of Judgement.

help of Allah will be with us. For Deen to enter in our lives, efforts are required.
Efforts of Deen
6 main points
1) Doing A’mal with Yaqeen.
2) Doing this work in the way shown by the Prophet (Sallallaho alaihe wasallam).
3) Doing A’mal with the awareness of Allah.
4) Only for the pleasure of Allah.
5) Pondering on its virtues creating a desire to do A’mal.
6) Doing A’mal by suppressing your Nafs (desires).
First and most important Usool (principal) in Tableegh is love and respect for each other as stated in the hadith;
Abdullah ibn ‘Abbas (RA) narrates that the Rasulullah (SAW) looked at the Ka’ba and said: “La ilaha illa’llah, how pure
you are, and how sweet your fragrance, and how great your honor! However the honor of a Mu’min [believer] is greater
than yours. Indeed, Allah (SWT) has made you respectable; (likewise) the wealth, the blood, and the honor of a Mu’min
has been made respectable; and Allah has forbidden us to suspect him of wrongdoing”.
“O Muslims you are the best of all Nations. In the knowledge of Allah this was destined
for you from eternity. This knowledge had also been conveyed to some of the previous
Prophets. Just as the Messenger of Allah (SAW) is the last, and most distinguished of
all Prophets, so also his Ummah will be the most distinguished Ummah, surpassing all other
Umam (followers of other Prophets) because of its having the most honored of all Prophets,
and because of being given an everlasting and most perfect Shari’a (Islamic Law) never to be
abrogated. All doors of knowledge and wisdom will be opened upon it. By its struggle and
sacrifice all branches of Iman, righteous actions and piety will be brought to life. This
Ummah will not be limited to any particular tribe, nation, country or continent but its field
of action will encompass the whole world and all aspects of human life. As though, its very
existence will be for the benefit of others and as far as is humanly possible to bring the
whole of mankind to the doors of Paradise.”
May Allaah accept the efforts and sacrifices of all those doing any form of good work in whichever permissible way and
wherever they may be. May Allah accept us in the noble work of Nabi in propagating the Deen & raise us in Akhirat
among those Da’ee Ilallah. May Allah make easy for us to spend time & be steadfast. Aameen.
