Let's Become Effective Da'ees - International Da'wah Training Programme - Part 90 | by Dr Zakir Naik
This transcript covers Day 3 of an International Da'wah Training Programme led by Dr. Zakir Naik in Mumbai, January 2016. The session begins with a recap of homework assignments (memorizing 50 Surah names with meanings) and transitions into introducing the day's theme: techniques of giving Islamic talks. Participants from various countries share their progress and struggles with the training workload.
Summary
The session opens with a recap segment where trainer Brother Zamri checks in with participants about their homework assignment: memorizing 50 Surah names along with their meanings. Brother Zamri himself completed the task in approximately 6 hours, serving as a model for other participants. Other trainees reported varying levels of completion — Brother Azranchand admitted to balancing homework with rest, completing fewer than 25 Surah names, while Brother Fadhli acknowledged the difficulty of memorization, citing challenges adapting to Mumbai and limited sleep (3-4 hours per night).
A new participant, Brother Ibrahim Alzahrani from Saudi Arabia, joined the program on this day after arriving in Mumbai the morning before. He explained that he had been instructed by Dr. Zakir Naik not to join live sessions until he had watched the video recordings of Days 1 and 2. He had managed to watch most of Day 1 but still had Day 2 remaining. Similarly, Brother Atiq reported completing Day 1 recordings at 80-85% and having about 1 hour remaining of Day 2.
The facilitator then introduced the schedule and theme for Day 3: 'Techniques of Giving Islamic Talks,' dated Tuesday, January 19, 2016. The facilitator emphasized that while the first two days focused on the foundational principles of success — (1) the help of Allah and (2) personal striving and hard work — Day 3 and beyond would shift focus to the technical aspects of delivering effective Islamic speeches. However, it was stressed that techniques alone are insufficient without divine support and personal effort. A Quranic reference was made to Surah An-Nahl (16:43) and Surah Al-Anbiya (21:7), both conveying the message of seeking knowledge from experts.
Key Insights
- Brother Zamri reported that memorizing all 50 Surah names with their meanings took him approximately 6 hours, and he was one of very few participants to complete the full assignment, illustrating the high effort required for the training tasks.
- The facilitator argued that participants who followed the 'formula of success' fully should have been able to complete the memorization task, implying that incomplete results reflect insufficient striving rather than inherent inability.
- Brother Fadhli described the memorization difficulty as partly tied to being newcomers without Islamic educational backgrounds, and noted that adapting to life in Mumbai was an additional challenge affecting their capacity to study.
- Dr. Zakir Naik reportedly instructed Brother Ibrahim Alzahrani that he could not join live training sessions until he had watched the full video recordings of the previous two days, enforcing a strict catch-up requirement for late arrivals.
- The facilitator outlined a three-tiered hierarchy of success for da'wah work: first is the help of Allah, second is personal striving and hard work, and third — described as 'least important but still important' — is mastery of techniques, which is the focus of Day 3.
