The Silent Da’wah (Invitation To Allah)

We can take examples for this in the life of the Prophet the life of the Companions. We can also study how Islam spread to India Indonesia and other parts of the world till today.

As we have stated earlier to invite to the Deen Al Islam (religion of Islam) is not limited to skilled knowledgeable debaters.

Prophet Muhammad (ﷺ) was sent as a messenger to humanity as a model human being.

Malik, Mawatta; Ahmed, Musnad and Mishkat al-Masabih report one of his saying: “Allah has sent me as an apostle so that I may demonstrate perfection of character, refinement of manners and superiority in behavior.”

Abu Huraira reported: The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said:

إِنَّمَا بُعِثْتُ لِأُتَمِّمَ صَالِحَ الْأَخْلَاقِ

Verily, I have only been sent to perfect righteous character.

Ad-Dahhak, may Allah have mercy on him, said:

السَّيِّدُ الْحَسَنُ الْخُلُقِ

The Head Of The Matter Is Good Character.

Hence, every rule, concept, and practice in Islam is meant to ultimately affect our inward and outward behavior.

Ibn Al-Qayyim writes:

الدِّينُ كُلُّهُ خُلُقٌ فَمَنْ زَادَ عَلَيْكَ فِي الْخُلُقِ زَادَ عَلَيْكَ فِي الدِّينِ

The religion itself is entirely good character, so whoever surpasses you in character has surpassed you in religion.

And Ash-Shatibi writes:

وَالشَّرِيعَةُ كُلُّهَا إِنَّمَا هِيَ تَخَلُّقٌ بمكارمِ الْأَخْلَاقِ

The Sharia in its entirety only creates noble morals.
