From the time I was driven into religious dogma, I had special attraction towards Fiqh, the jurisprudence. I still have this extreme love for it. I have more than 1800 audio answers recorded and uploaded, and there are thousands others which are unrecorded. I have more Fiqh & Fataawa books than any other book in my library and on my laptop.
However offlate I'm thinking about moving into another area, the area of tabligh or preaching. There are already many Mufti's with us, yes, by the grace of Allah, may be I was the first indian in Ahlus Sunnah to write fatawas and books in English. I would continue to do this, but I want to do something more.
I have read about Allamah Abdul Aleem Merathi, Ahmad Deedat, Habib Ahmad Mashur and other great preachers who spent their life in spreading the true teachings of Islam.
Presently the people whom we see on pulpit, YouTube, Facebook are mainly Wahabis and Deobandis. Muslim youths get attracted to them because of their nice dresses and good english speaking skills, but these wahabi speakers and preachers pose great risk. They interpret the Quran and traditions of Prophet in hardline and radical way cause them to leave the tradition sunni Islamic way.
Ahlus Sunnah is correct interpretation of Quran and traditions. All the Saints and Soofiyas who gave the message of humanity, love and compassion and propagated true teachings of Islam belong to Ahlus Sunnah.
In preaching there are different types 1) Preaching muslims so that they correct their beliefs and deeds. 2) preaching to non-Muslims.
While preaching to muslims is easy as compared to other one but both require high level of maturity and commitment. You need to well versed about the common questions and there answers which should satisfy the listener. You should be very well read and an ama zing speaker to conquer your audience.
I have worked with an organization which worked in the area of preaching to Muslims but not the other one.
I want to be a daayi, in sha Allah.
