Let's Become Effective Da'ees - International Da'wah Training Programme - Part 53 | by Dr Zakir Naik
Dr. Zakir Naik discusses the sixth characteristic of effective Islamic preachers (da'ees): being gentle in approach and soft in speech. He emphasizes that gentleness beautifies everything while harshness is poison, citing Quranic examples of how Allah instructed Moses to speak gently even to Pharaoh.
Summary
In this segment, Dr. Zakir Naik focuses on the importance of gentleness as a key characteristic for Islamic preachers. He references Surah Ta-Ha (Chapter 20, verses 43-44) where Allah instructs Moses to speak gently to Pharaoh, despite Pharaoh being Allah's greatest enemy who claimed divinity. Naik emphasizes that if Allah commanded gentleness toward such a tyrant, then da'ees should certainly be gentle with others. He quotes a hadith from Muslim stating that gentleness beautifies everything while harshness poisons it. However, he clarifies that being gentle doesn't mean avoiding debates with enemies of Islam, referencing Surah An-Nahl 16:125 which instructs to debate in the best and most gracious ways. Naik also discusses the importance of optimism, using examples of Prophet Nuh's 950-year preaching mission and Prophet Muhammad's perseverance through 13 years of persecution in Mecca. He concludes by summarizing seven key characteristics: sincerity, knowledge acquisition, gentleness, wisdom (hikma), patience, being exemplary (misali), and maintaining hope. During the Q&A session, he addresses questions about modern da'wah technology, the required level of knowledge for preaching, and clarifies that academic qualifications aren't prerequisites for da'wah, citing Ahmed Deedat as an example of an effective preacher without formal Islamic education.
