The Role of the Media in ad-Da’wah

“…The most successful of ways (in giving Da’wah) in this day and age and the most beneficial is by using the media since it produces good results, it is a double-edged sword. If you use these means in inviting to Allah and guiding the people to what was revealed to the Prophet, peace be upon him, by way of radio programs, newspapers, and television, then this is a major thing that Allah will benefit the Islamic nation everywhere with as well as the non-Muslims so that they can understand Islam and reflect and comprehend its beauties. And they will come to understand that it is the path to success in this life and in the hereafter.

The Callers and the Rulers over the Muslims must participate in everything that they are able to such as radio broadcasts, newspapers, television, in public addresses, in the Friday sermons and other sermons not related to the Friday prayer in addition to other methods that can be employed in guiding the people to the truth by using all of the spoken languages until the invitation to Islam reaches everywhere and advise is given to all of the people of the world in their language.”

Brother Abu Ibraheem, wa Allah yuwaffiquk,

I did not complete the translation of the biography. I lost the word copy that I have and I have not been able to find it since. Once I get a hold of the Arabic text then I will complete it inshaAllah and make it available as an e-book inshaAllah.
