“…As for the manners and characteristics that are befitting for the Du’aat (Callers to Islam) to be upon, then Allah has clarified this in many verses, in numerous places in the Noble Quran…”One – al-Ikhlaas (Sincerity):
“…It is obligatory upon the Caller (to Islam) to be sincere for Allah, the Mighty and Majestic. He does not desire to show off or notoriety. He does not desire the people’s praises or their glorification (of him). Instead, he calls to Allah desiring His face, the Mighty and Majestic, as He says: {Say: This is my path, I invite to Allah.} Yusoof: 108
And the Mighty and Majestic says: {Who is better in speech than the one who calls to Allah?} Fussilat: 33
Therefore it is obligatory for you to be sincere to Allah, the Mighty and Majestic, this is the most important behavior. This is from the greatest characteristics that should exist in your calling (to Allah). Your desire of (seeing) Allah’s face and the hereafter…”
“…Sincerity to Allah (alone) is a must in (calling to Allah). Not in (calling to Madhhabs) or to the opinion of such and such a person. One calls to Allah desiring His reward and His forgiveness. He desires rectifying the people. It is a must that (the Caller) is sincere and has knowledge. The Mighty and Majestic says: {Call to the path of your Lord using wisdom and good admonition. And speak with them in a manner which is good.} an-Nahl: 125…”
