| Fiqh Da'wah from the Qur'an [color=blue][center] Behold, thy Lord called Moses: "Go to the people of iniquity,- "The people of the Pharaoh: will they not fear Allah?" "O my Lord! I do fear that they will charge me with falsehood: "My breast will be straitened. And my speech may not go (smoothly): so send unto Aaron. "And (further), they have a charge of crime against me; and I fear they may slay me." Allah said: "By no means! proceed then, both of you, with Our Signs; We are with you, and will listen (to your call). Surah As Shuara:10-15 [/center][/color] Fiqh Da'wah 1. Allah taala tells us of how Nabi Musa a.s feels when he received the commandment of Allah, and henceforth, the responsibility of da'wah. Nabi Musa felt fearful and anxious of this great task. 2. It is natural for a da'wah activist to fear and worry of the responsibility and amanah of da'wah that is placed on his shoulders. These sentiments are not alien to us such that even a Prophet of Allah, a man of strength and courage feels the same way too. However, a da'wah activist must strive to follow the example of Nabi Musa such that he does not let this fear to haunt him to the extent that it becomes an excuse to distance himself from da'wah work. We usually come across da’wah activists who would refuse a task due to the same feelings of fear and anxiety. Often do we hear them say "I am not ready", " I am ill-equipped", "This work is too much for me to handle", "I'm not qualified" and many others. 3. The truth of the matter is that such feelings are natural and is a part of being human. What is necessary for a da'i who is facing such situation to examine things objectively vis-avis the importance of the work as well as how he can contribute to make it successful. Such feelings must be overcome as exemplified by Nabi Musa a.s. One of the ways to conquer such feelings is to talk and pour our concerns and heart out to Allah, because Allah is the Changer of Hearts. 4. Observe how Nabi Musa pours his heart out to Allah. He did not ask Allah to relief him of the amanah but he sought Allah's help and assistance to complete his task successfully. This shows that Nabi Musa did not try to run away from the task, quoting his weaknesses as excuses not to implement it. Rather, he sought support and assistance. Therefore, when we are facing with difficulties in a task due to our own weaknesses, pour our hearts out to Allah and implore for His help. Do not give up and run away from a task without trying our best. 6. To do da'wah work, in all levels, one needs self-confidence. A da'wah activist or a da'wah movement will not be successful facing the Pharaoh of their time, as how Nabi Musa did, if one is not confident and has no assurance of himself. A 'timid' da'wah activist or a da'wah movement will not create history and will not be competent to lead the banners of da'wah. Therefore, whosoever or any organization that has the aspiration to play the leading role in da'wah has to build their confidence and must instil such confidence in its members and those who are under its tarbiyah. 7. Da'wah activists who feel satisfied by merely "playing by the side" throughout the journey of da'wah has yet to internalize and manifest the commendation to compete amongst themselves and strive the utmost endeavor in doing good deeds. 8. Allah taala promised Nabi Musa refuge from being killed by Fir'aun (Pharaoh) and He kept to His promise. Eventhough Allah taala do not give the same promise to all da'wah activists, but He has promised help, assistance, support, success and a great reward to those who strive in His cause and He never breaks this promise, of His.

| [slm] When I received this from Muhammad Haniff Hassan it wasn't in English and I couldn't understand it. :'( Did you translate it? Jazak Allah khairen, its very nice. Allah taala berfirman yang bermaksud; "Dan (ingatlah) ketika Tuhanmu menyeru Musa (dengan firmanNya) 'Datangilah kaum yang zalim itu'. (Iaitu) kaum Firaun, mengapa mereka tidak bertakwa? Berkata Musa 'Ya Tuhanku, sesungguhnya aku takut mereka akan mendustakan aku. Dan (kerananya) sempitlah dadaku dan tidak lancar lidahku, maka utuslah (Jibril) kepada Harun. Dan aku berdosa terhadap mereka, maka aku takut mereka akan membunuhku. Allah berfirman 'Jangan takut (mereka tidak akan dapat membunuhmu), maka pergilah kamu berdua dengan membawa ayat-ayat Kami (mukjizat-mukjizat); sesungguhnya Kami bersamamu mendengarkan (apa-apa yang mereka katakan)." (Asy-Syu`ara : 10 - 15) Fiqh Dakwah 1. Allah taala menceritakan perasaan nabi Musa a.s ketika menerima perintah dan tanggungjawab dakwah. Nabi Musa a.s merasa gerun dan gementar dengan tugas berkenaan. 2. Adalah menjadi lumrah bagi pendakwah untuk merasa gementar dengan tanggungjawab dan amanah dakwah yang terbeban atas bahunya. Ia adalah sebahagian dari sifat kemanusiaan pendakwah. Hatta seorang nabi yang gagah seperti Musa a.s juga dihinggapi perasaan sedemikian. Namun perlulah mencontohi nabi Musa a.s kerana beliau tidak membiarkan perasaan itu menguasai dan menghantui diri sehingga dia menjadikan alasan untuk menjauhi atau mengelak dari tugas dakwah. Sering kali kita bertemu dengan 'pendakwah' yang menolak tugas dakwah semata-mata kerana melayan rasa gerun dan gementar dalam diri dengan berkata 'Saya tidak mampu', 'Tugas ini terlalu berat', 'Saya tidak layak' dll. 3. Hakikatnya perasaan sedemikian adalah lumrah manusia. Apa yang perlu dilakukan oleh pendakwah dalam menghadapi situasi seperti itu ialah untuk menilai secara objektif kepentingan tugas itu dan bagaimana dia dapat menyumbang untuk menjayakannya. Perasaan sedemikian hendaklah diatasi sebagaimana yang ditunjukkan oleh nabi Musa. a.s. Sebaik-baik cara mengatasi perasaan itu ialah dengan mengadu kepada Allah taala kerana Dialah yang menguasai perasaan dan hati manusia. 4. Perhatikan, bahawa nabi Musa a.s apabila mengadu kepada Allah taala akan perasaannya, dia tidak memohon agar dilepaskan dari amanah itu tetapi dia memohon agar diberi bantuan bagi menunaikannya. Ertinya dia tidak melarikan diri dari tugas dan memberi alasan untuk tidak menerimanya kerana kelemahan diri. Sebaliknya dia memohon sokongan dan bantuan. 5. Oleh itu, dalam menghadapi tugas dakwah dan kelemahan diri, mengadulah kepada Allah taala untuk memperolehi bantuan dan jangan lari dari tugas sebelum mencuba. 6. Tugas dakwah, dalam apa jua marhalah, sentiasa memerlukan keyakinan diri untuk menjayakannya. Tidak mungkin seorang pendakwah atau gerakan dakwah itu berjaya menghadapi Firaun zamannya, sebagaimana nabi Musa a.s tanpa keyakinan diri. Pendakwah atau gerakan dakwah yang 'timid' tidak akan mencipta sejarah dan tidak layak untuk memimpin panji-panji dakwah. Maka sesiapa sahaja atau mana-mana organisasi yang mempunyai aspirasi untuk menjadi pemain peranan utama dalam dakwah, perlulah membina keyakinan diri dan perlulah juga membina keyakinan diri dalam setiap anak didik yang ditarbiyah olehnya. 7. Pendakwah yang merasa cukup dengan memainkan peranan-peranan pinggiran sahaja di sepanjang jalan dakwah, sesungguhnya dia telah tidak menghayati anjuran berlumba-lumba dalam membuat kebajikan dan ihsan dalam beramal. 8. Allah taala menjanjikan nabi Musa a.s keselamatan dari dibunuh oleh Firaun dan Dia tidak meningkari janjiNya. Sememangnya Allah taala tidak menjanjikan sedemikian bagi semua pendakwah tetapi Dia menjanjikan bantuan, sokongan, kemenangan dan ganjaran yang besar bagi sesiapa yang berusaha di jalanNya, dan Dia tidak akan juga mengingkari janjiNya ini.
