30. Capability is also a Prerequisite for Inviting towards Allâh

Therefore, capability is also necessary in order to invite towards Allah Ta’ala. In the verse:

?????????? ????????? ??????? ??????????? ????? ?????????

The word “min” in this verse is tab‘îdîyyah which means that there must be some people from among you who undertake the responsibility of inviting towards Allah Ta’ala. Inviting towards Allah Ta’alais not compulsory on every single person. Understand this ruling well: inviting towards Allah Ta’alais not compulsory on every person. The min tab‘îdîyyah in the above verse demands that those who have the capability may invite towards Allah Ta’ala. Those who do not have the capability must learn to acquire it. It is for this reason that Allah Ta’alasaid:

??????? ??? ???????? ???????? ???? ????????

(???? ???????? ???: 67)

O Prophet! Convey what has been revealed to you from your Lord.

If a person does not know what has been revealed, what is he going to convey?

Maulânâ Ilyâs Sâhib rahimahullâh had restricted the masses to the six points so that the flood of deviation may be treated by the flood of guidance. An anti biotic is given according to the level of the illness. Hazrat Maulânâ Ilyâs Sâhib rahimahullâh is our own elder. He developed this system so that the masses may acquire some religion. In other words, they may receive some first aid. But imagine if those giving first aid start scorning and belittling the specialists by saying that they are doing nothing and we are doing everything! I am therefore saying to you, brothers, you may do everything but do not become conceited, and let alone scorning an ‘âlim, do not even scorn a fellow Muslim. In fact, it is not even permissible to scorn an unbeliever. This is because the words ?????? ????????(scorning and belittling people) [mentioned in the above quoted Hadîth] includes the unbelievers and is not restricted to the Muslims only.
