Hope in Reward, Strong Evidence and Beautiful & Simple Presentation –
One should never believe their efforts are only rewarded if others listen and act on their advice. This is false as Allah, the Exalted, rewards based on one’s intention and efforts not the outcome of an action. This is confirmed in a Hadith found in Sahih Bukhari, number 1.
An important condition for spreading the word of Islam is that one must provide others with strong evidence to support their views. This is only possible when they possess the correct knowledge. One’s proof must be taken from the Holy Quran and the Hadiths of the Holy Prophet Muhammad, peace and blessings be upon him. For example, when the Holy Prophet Muhammad, peace and blessings be upon him, invited his relatives to embrace Islam he used his 40 years amongst them as proof that he was speaking the truth. This evidence was undeniable even by the non-muslims. This incident is recorded in a Hadith found in Sahih Bukhari, number 4553. Only the arrogance of some prevented them from submitting to the truth. Chapter 10 Yunus, verse 16:
“…for I had remained among you a lifetime before it. Then will you not reason?”
The presentation of knowledge is also very important as one needs to show others the beauty and ease of Islam rather than painting a picture of difficulty. This has been advised by the Holy Prophet Muhammad, peace and blessings be upon him, in a Hadith found in Sahih Bukhari, number 6125. Chapter 2 Al Baqarah, verse 185:
“…Allah intends for you ease and does not intend for you hardship…”
One should never be flowery in their speech and utter nonsense concealed in beautiful words. But none the less the combination of wisdom and presentation are required to attract the hearts of mankind just like the Holy Prophet Muhammad, peace and blessings be upon him, and the Companions, may Allah be pleased with them, did. An example of this is recorded in a Hadith found in Sunan Ibn Majah, number 42.
