The Methodology of the Prophets in Calling to Allah – That is the Way of Wisdom & Intelligence Calling to Allah is a very great honour which is not reached through ease, response and love of relaxation. It is not reached except through beneficial knowledge, righteous actions, deep understanding and careful following of the way of the Prophets in calling to Allaah.
In this book Shaykh Rabee’ ibn Haadee al-Madkhalee explains in detail the methodology of the Prophets in their call to Allaah. In it, he answers those questions which face every caller to the faith who wishes to follow the footsteps of the Prophets: What should his call begin with? What should he concentrate on? And what is the goal of his da’wah to Allaah?
After discussing the methodology of the Prophets in calling to Allaah, he compares it with the different methodologies employed by various contemporary da’wah groups and movements that have arisen in our time and highlights the stark contrast between these new, innovated methodologies and the pure and perfect Prophetic way.

These are a few short words in clarification of the belief of Ahl al-Sunnah wa al-Jama’ah. It is necessary to write them down due to the separation and differing that the Islamic lives through today, which is represented by the abundance of contemporary sects and different groups. Every one of the calls to their (own) creed and praises his (own) group, until the ignorant Muslim is confused as to whom he should follow and who he should imitate…

by Shaykh Rabee’ Ibn Haadee al-Madkhalee,
Allaah, the Glorified and Exalted, says:
“And We indeed sent to every nation a messenger (saying to his people): ‘Worship Allaah alone and avoid false gods.’ So amongst them were those whose misguidance was justified.” [Qur’aan, 16:36]

These extremist, terrorist groups are modern manifestations of an ancient radical sect who expelled the companions of the Prophet Muḥammad (peace be upon him) from Islām, revolted against them and assassinated two of the first four caliphs of Islām – ʿUthmān and ʿAlī. Both were sons-in-law of the Prophet and from the best and most righteous of the Muslims. These renegades also attempted to assassinate Muʿāwiyah and ʿAmr bin al-Āṣ, another two companions who were delegated rulers over Syria and Egypt respectively. The appearance of this group was prophesised by Muḥammad (peace be upon him) and the Prophetic traditions regarding them and their traits are well-documented and famous. They appeared only 25 years after the Prophet. The Prophet stated that they will be youthful and foolish-minded, with little understanding of the religion, having outward devotion which does not really touch their hearts at all, and will depart from Islām and kill Muslims. They were labelled as the Khārijites, which means “extremist renegades” who depart from the main body of Muslims. Their ideology is as follows: They excommunicate the Muslim leaders on account of perceived or actual injustices in social and economic affairs, accusing them of not judging fully by God’s law. They then claim that the lands ruled over by these ‘apostate’ Muslim rulers are lands of disbelief whose inhabitants, rulers and ruled, must be fought and killed to enable them to establish “legitimate authority” in the form of a caliphate. Their terrorism is directed primarily at Muslims whom they consider the “near enemy”. Their acts of terrorism in the West are only spill-over activities and are not primarily intended. Their war is fundamentally against Islām, Muslim rulers and their subjects and they operate as insurgents. They are very much like the 19th and 20th European revolutionary movements which came out in the name of “social justice”, used the masses to topple monarchies and once in power began to slaughter those whom they feared could launch counter-revolutions against them. The Khārijites are the same except that they add the cloak of religion and emotional rhetoric as a means of recruiting the ignorant into their cause. The vast majority of their followers are ignorant, disillusioned youth who have had next to no instruction in religion.
