Caution, Consideration and Compassion: Essential 3cs for New Age Islamic Dawa

The inherent Love, not proofs, in Islam is the most effective cure for Islamophobia, contends Mujeeb Jaihoon at Assam Darul Huda Campus.

I am well aware you are way ahead of the speaker with regards to your service of this noble Faith. Today, I want to emphasize the importance of spreading the message of Islam while preserving its inherent beauty and mercy intact. While the adherence to the principles and guidelines of the Creed is undoubtedly crucial, we must also share the love and beauty of its teachings with all of humanity. It is our duty to present the legal and historical aspects of Islam to the largely secularized world, always exercising caution, consideration, and compassion.

The inherent Love in Islam, not just the logical proofs, is the most effective cure for Islamophobia. For, History has proved on more than one occasion that where institutionalized scholastic arguments failed, the compassionate glance of a dervish worked wonders. We also observed that the tyrannical Muslim rulers and regimes have done harm than good for the spread of Faith in contrast to the noble saints and sages who dwelt in the love of God and service of humanity.

In your efforts to share the magnificence of this remarkable Faith, I hope you will find the three Cs of dawa indispensable: caution, consideration, and compassion. Let us continue our mission with unwavering dedication, inspired by the profound love and beauty that Islam encompasses.

Thank you.
