The message of God Almighty should be conveyed to the ears of the masses once and for all because a large portion of the general masses are such that are free from prejudice and arrogance etc. and are only deprived of realising the truth, falling prey to whatever the maulvissay and believing and accepting whatever the maulvistell them.

Many Muslim youths fall in the widely spread nets of false sheikhs. They are amazed when they hear that they have converted too many people to Islam by their preachments in non-Muslim countries. They feel so small and unworthy of any reward in the hereafter for not being like those so-called sheikhs. Know that the effort you make inside your country, in your daily job sincerely while enduring all hardships, showing patience, and dealing with others in the best manner like the prophet did, serves Islam millions of times more than those ‘fancy sheiks’ do. Islam doesn’t need preachers who speak about it, it needs preachers who practice it. An honest poor Muslim farmer preaches Islam a thousand times better than those fancy figures; an honest merchant preaches Islam a thousand times better than a sheikh on a mosque’s pulpit; a noble soldier preaches Islam, a good doctor preaches Islam, a diligent engineer preaches Islam, a sincere husband preaches Islam, a dedicated wife preaches Islam, etc. of Christian thought. 121 Such influence is especially traceable in the doctrines of some of the Muʻtazilite

And whoever calls others to misguidance will have a burden of sin like the burden of those who follow him, without that detracting from their burden in any way.”(Narrated by Muslim, 2674) Facing da’wah challenges with patience the conditions 34 may be quoted that are stated to have been drawn up when Jerusalem submitted to the But Heraclius shared the fate of so many would-be [ 54]peace-makers: for not only did the controversy blaze up again all the more fiercely,

MTA has a huge role to play in the field of preaching. Due to it, not only is Ahmadiyyat being introduced around the world, but through it, the message of Islam Ahmadiyyat has also reached many parts of most countries. Now, it is not enough just to spread the message in countries or a few cities, we must spread the message in every city, every village, every town and every street in the world.” (Friday Sermon, delivered on 7 November 2008)

And had you been severe and harsh-hearted, they would have broken away from about you; so pass over (their faults), and ask (Allah’s) forgiveness for them; and consult them in the affairs.” [Aal ‘Imran 3:159] Calling to Islam in the best manner Sultans in the [ 76]fourteenth century. 128 But the very fact that these decrees excluding the d͟himmīs from government posts
