have mercy. Allah is Almighty, All-Wise. (Surat at-Tawba:
71)
A believer is eager to do all he can to call other people to
Allah and to His Way. He will tell them about Allah, His Unity
and attributes, the purpose of their Creation, right behaviour
and conduct and the kind of life that pleases Allah, and about
good, evil, right and wrong in the Qur'an, the day of judgment,
the Fire and the Garden, and other such topics. He will tell them
about the Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, in
such a way as to draw them to him, to following and emulating
him.
The conversation that believers have among themselves is
truly mutual reminder. They call one another to obey the com-
mands of Allah and to live by the Sunnah of His Messenger,
may Allah bless him and grant him peace, and to live in confor-
mity with Islamic values. In short, the usual way of a believer is
remembrance and reminder.
Believers use both oral and written methods of reminder,
and they may make use of today's highly developed means of
mass communication. In calling people to the teachings of the
Qur'an, they can take advantage of television, radio, books,
magazines, newspapers, Internet and other media.
As important as the daily invitation of Islam of believers

living according to the teachings of the Qur'an, there is the time
they take to prepare the invitation. In the Qur'an, Allah indicates
that those who wish to undertake the struggle of ideas on His
way must first make preparation for it. For this reason, it is ex-
tremely important that a person prepares himself in every way
for this work. Allah says:
If they had really desired to go out, they would have made
proper preparations for it… (Surat at-Tawba: 46)
