CHAPTER ONE

1.0  INTRODUCTION

All Praises are due to Allah the Lord of universe who created and guide to a right path.There is no guide except His, May His peace, mercy and blessings be upon the noblest Prophet, his companions his family and those who followed their footsteps until the Day of Judgment. The  institution  of  Da’wah  i.e. calling  people  to  the  way  of  Allah (SubhanahuWata’alah) and His Prophet is a tradition which traced its origin from the previous Prophets of Allah before Prophet Muhammad (peace be uponthem). It is based on this Allah (SubhanahuWata’alah) says in the Qur’an:

ِإَنا َأْوحَْيَنا ِإَلْيَك َكَما َأْوحَْيَنا ِإَلى ُنوحٍ َوالنَِبِيينَ ِمْن َبْعِدِه َوَأْوحَْيَنا ِإَلى ِإْبَراهِيمَ َوِإسَْماعِيلَ َوِإسْحَاقَ َوَيْعُقو ََ َواْلَْسَْباطِ َوعِيسَى َوَأُيو ََ َوُيونُسَ َوهَارُونَ َوسَُلْيَمانَ َوَآَتْيَنا دَاوُودَ َزُبورًا

Verily, we have sent a revelation to you (O Muhammad) as we sent revelation to Nuh (Noah) and the prophets after him; we (also) sent the revelation to Ibrahim. (Abraham) Isma’il (Ishmael), Ishaq (Isaac), Yaqub (Jacob), and Al-Asbat (the offspring of the twelve sons of Yakub (Jocub), Isah (Jesus), Ayyub (Job), Yunus (Jonah), Harun (Aaron), and Sulaiman (Solomon); and to Dawud (David) we gave the Zabur (Psalms)1.

The above verse shows that all Prophets served the same inspiration of Da’wah as did by the seal of the Prophets, Muhammad (peace, mercy and blessings of Allah be upon him). However Da’wah means inviting people to the religion of Allah who created man and jinn for his worship. The evidence of this…..
