1. The Objective of Doing Dawa is to please Allah

Our objective is to purify our intention to please Allah.

Everybody shall sitback & examine his intention regularly.

The conflict happening between Daee & organizations, between Daee & officials all still from this problem.

2. Total Obedience To What Allah Desires You To Do

Examine what you are saying to people. It is very dangerous to say anything about Allah what is not true.

It is very important to learn English, Sinhala and Tamil communication skills & to use accurate words in order to convey the correct message.

3. It Is Not For You To Shine. It is Helping OthersIt is not for the Daee to put people down.

But to help people.You have to be kind, nice and having

great manners. By having those characteristics, you make Dawa before even you speak.

Learn how to be kind & merciful, to excuse others. You are there to help not to Oppress.

4. You should Listen More Than You SpeakThe Prophet Mohammad (PBUH) always

listen to his companions first and then he says:' Are you through? After that, he speaks.

Be prepared to listen than to speak.

5. Do Not Fix Something That Is Not BrokenYou have to determine what your

audience needs and from which corner they come, and upon that decide what to say.

Diagnose before solution. Examine attitudes, mental state and how interested they are and then speak.

Determine what is broken and concentrate on this part.

6. Give Room For Your Audience To MoveDon’t try to corner them, allow them

some room because if you don’t, they will take it as that you want to oppress and force them by throwing your stuff to them.

7. Do Not Expect People To Change ImmediatelyYou do your job of Dawa and step-back

and leave some room to digest the stuff.Some people will respond or change to

your saying after days, months or years. At least leave a positive impression about Islam with them

8. Only Cover The Portion That Your Audience needsIt is not true that you have in one sitting to

cover the whole stuff. Only cover the portion that you think it sufficient to occupy your audience’s mind for a while.
