The Role of Islamic Civilization and Culture in Da'wah and Preaching of Islam: An Analytical and Historical Study

الملخص

Like every other task, the propagation of Islam has always utilized all possible means, following the example of the Prophet Muhammad (ﷺ) and the righteous predecessors of the Ummah. When we examine the Makkan period of the Prophet's blessed life, we find that he engaged in both secret and open preaching. He used the prevailing means of communication in his society to fulfill this sacred duty. At times, he invited people to Allah through eloquent speeches, while at other times, his unmatched linguistic mastery affirmed the divine nature of his message. He raised the call of truth in markets, trade fairs, and gatherings. He undertook long journeys for the sake of propagation and even migrated to strengthen and spread this divine message." **"Even in this era, it is essential to continue the mission of da'wah and preaching by utilizing both the traditional methods of our predecessors and all modern, permissible means. Today, the field is wide open for Muslims to spread the message of truth, and every member of this Ummah can actively participate in this noble religious duty using the available resources. Many Muslims are already engaged in this effort through innovative methods, but true success lies in undertaking this responsibility with deep thought, seriousness, and a strong sense of accountability. Islam is a complete way of life, whose teachings and civilization have left a profound impact on the world. The foundation of its cultural vision was based on the belief that this world is temporary and deceptive, whereas true success lies in achieving the pleasure of the Lord and securing a place in His eternal paradise. A nation with such a belief could never indulge in oppression, injustice, misconduct, or social evils. Furthermore, the way the Prophet Muhammad (ﷺ) established an Islamic society during his lifetime and nurtured a committed group of companions (رضي الله عنهم) laid the foundation for Islamic social structures, governance, economy, and civilization for centuries to come.
