Who Is Truly Fit for Daʿwah? || Ustadh AbdulRahman Hassan #AMAR

In this lecture, Ustadh AbdulRahman Hassan addresses a growing issue in our times: people hastily placing themselves at the forefront of daʿwah without proper grounding, adab, or clarity. He explains that Islam unrestrictedly grants every Muslim the responsibility to enjoin good and forbid evil, meaning that clear and agreed-upon matters of the dīn are not limited to a select class. At its core, daʿwah includes calling people to iṣlāḥ rectifying corrupted manners, improving character, and reforming the moral condition of society.

At the same time, Ustadh AbdulRahman Hassan carefully outlines the limits and ethics of daʿwah. He stresses that public condemnation of rulers is not from the methodology of the Salaf; rather, sincere advice should be given privately to prevent division and chaos. He then clarifies who is truly “fit” to advise others: one who possesses bayyinah (clear knowledge of what they command or forbid), wisdom in dealing with evidence and doubts, and personal uprightness that helps people accept the message. While personal righteousness strengthens daʿwah, shortcomings are not an excuse for silence abandoning the duty altogether can itself become a grave failing.
