ثانيا – من صفات الداعية إرشاد المدعوين إلى ما ينفعهم

Second – Traits of a Preacher: Guiding the Object of Da’wah to Beneficial Matters for Them

إن ذلك يتأكد من خلال إرشاد النبي الأهمية النية في الأعمال، وتأكيده أن لكل امرئ ما نوى” ثم ذكره لما يؤكد ذلك من قوله :

This is emphasized through the guidance of the Prophet regarding the importance of intention in actions. He affirmed that everyone will receive according to their intentions. He mentioned something that strengthens this meaning in his statement:

فمن كانت هجرته إلى الله ورسوله فهجرته إلى الله ورسوله … ،

Whoever’s hijrah (migration) is for Allah and His Messenger, then their migration is truly for Allah and His Messenger.

ولا شك أن ذلك مما ينبغي أن يتصف به الداعية ، حيث يكون مرشدًا للمدعوين إلى ما ينفعهم، وقد كان النبي لم أسوة في ذلك، حيث قام بإرشاد أمته إلى فعل ما ينفعها ، من تصحيح النية وإخلاصها لله تعالى، 

There is no doubt that this is one of the traits that should be possessed by a preacher, which is to guide the object of da’wah to beneficial matters for them. Prophet Muhammad, peace be upon him, set an example in this regard, where he guided his community to engage in beneficial actions, such as rectifying intentions and purifying them solely for the sake of Allah the Almighty.

وهذا مما ينبغي أن يتحلى به الداعية في إرشاد المدعوين إلى ما ينفعهم، مثل بيان أهمية النية في الأعمال.

This is one of the traits that a preacher must possess in guiding the object of da’wah to beneficial matters for them, such as explaining the importance of intention in actions.

Allah knows best.
