The Role Of The Student Of Knowledge

Many young brothers from western countries and Muslim minority groups for the past 30 years have left their homeland and families in search of proper Islamic knowledge enrolling themselves in Islamic universities far from their families. They generally speaking, gain wide amount of knowledge from the many excellent books written by the scholars from the Salafs. Truthfully that is extremely important but that knowledge remains matters of discussions among people that have been exposed to that strain of knowledge and these long years spent in the search of better understanding of Islam does not deliver the fruits expected by the seekers.

Here some important clues to change this very sad fact.

Contrarily to the often-misunderstood warning to not mix with the general mass of Muslims young and old, it is imperative for the students of knowledge to actually get to meet and know their young brothers and elders in their routine lives. But this need to be done with a spirit of care and love and proper preparation needs to be done for that purpose.

Preparing for the reinsertion with the home community. Joining the youth in their places of meetings is important to gain proximity and trust and the brother going out there needs to build a strong routine of Duas (Invocations) and Dhikr (Remembrances) and to as often as possible, to reassert his intention. Seating in a corner of the Masjid waiting for those who want to learn is not how the mass of the Muslim Nation(Ummah) will change . Part of the education will be in the Masjid and another has to be in the field.

An extremely important part of strengthening the faith of the communtnity is through the different social programs we have explained earlier.

Covered so far Silent Da’wah (invitation to Allah), Educational Da’wah (invitation to Allah) for community members, connecting, supporting, all members of the community. Comes now the work that needs to be done in the field of informing non muslims about the Prophet Mohammed and the correct beliefs and practice of Islam.
