What is the method to guage the effect of the da'wah?

The following question was received by one of our readers: Question : What is the way for us to guage the effect of the da'wah to resume the Islamic way of life? Is it by looking at how many people we have, how many people attend our events or demonstrations, what people are talking about in society? Can you please clarify what criterion we should use to judge this. Answer: It is incorrect to guage the effect of the da'wah from the number of people that are in a group or attend their events or demonstrations. Although a group requires people to be part of it and requires a popular base of supporters, however numbers are not an accurate measure when judging the impact of the da'wah to resume the Islamic way of life. Sheikh Taqiuddin an-Nabhani wrote in Concepts of Hizb ut-Tahrir: “Those who carry the da’wah should not assess the da’wah by their number. Such assessment is absolutely wrong and harmful to the da’wah because it distracts the da’wah carriers from focusin...

“So take heed, O people of insight!”

The following leaflet is the translation of an Arabic leaflet. The streets of Cairo resound with huge protests by the people against the oppression and tyranny of the Egyptian regime. A regime that silenced the people through force and repression, and put terror in their hearts through imprisonment and severe torture. This oppressive regime betrayed the core issues of the Ummah: it raised the flag of the ‘Israel’ in Egypt, sold its authority and sovereignty over the Sinai, blockaded the Muslims in Gaza, and committed many like major sins without having any shame or fear of Allah, His Messenger (saw) or the believers. This regime spread corruption in the land and sold the country to the enemies of Allah, making it a playfield for America and ‘Israel’ such that they pillaged its resources and divided them with the president of the regime, his entourage, henchmen and followers. They lived decadent lives whilst the people lived in destitute poverty, extreme hunger, and fac...

The Challenge of developing the Islamic Personality in the Western Lands

بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم For the one who aims to build and develop the personality it is important to treat everyone according to their level. Therefore, to apply a method of personality development that has achieved results in places where the hadhara (culture) is deep rooted and where the inclinations for the deen are ingrained in the people and apply the same process upon others brought up surrounded by disbelief and detached from their aqeeda is a mistake and would not achieve the correct development of the personality. This does not mean that the culture that is studied should be different, as the curriculum of study would set the basis for the mentality and the disposition, this is necessary in all cases. However, those responsible for the development such as those amongst the da'wa carriers need to appreciate that those born into societies which have been shaped by disbelief and consequently have little Islamic knowledge, are riddled with negative traits and inclination...
