Seeking knowledge before giving Dawah
Question :
Can some brother give me some speech f ulama on the importance of seeking knowledge before Dawah .. and that it is not obligatory to establish it for the ignorant.
Answer :
We advise the brother to go back to the explanation of Saheeh al Bukhaari under the chapter of : “knowledge proceeds speech and action”. Also see the explanations of usool thalaatha (Three fundamental principles of islam).
Also see the tafseer of the saying of Allaah :
هذه سبيلي ادعو إلى الله على بصيرة
“This is my path, I call to all upon insight.”
Also the saying of Allaah
كونوا ربانيين
“Be scholars(learned men)”
Also sheikh fawzaan has a small treatise on this topic:
The summary of it being what imaam muhammad ibn Abdul wahaab mentioned in the beginning of usool thalaatha.
He said : know may Allaah have mercy upon you. It is obligatory upon you to know four things:
1. Knowledge (then he mentioned what knowledge is).
2. Action upon that.
3.Calling to it.
4. Being patient upon the harms Which may occur from that.
