these verses Allah Taala praises this ummah as being the guides of mankind. Whereas earlier ummah required their followers to extend guidance to their own kith, kin and nation, our ummah differs in that it is our duty to spread the Word of Allah Taala to the whole of mankind. There is a duty upon this ummah to call towards good and forbid evil for the whole of mankind. It is necessary for everyone in the ummah to perform dawah according to his or her ability. A dai should use wisdom and speak with softness. He should teach of the benefits of Islam in both this world and the next. As a last resort, and only if required, debating should be employed to remove any doubts. But this also should be performed in the best possible way. Dawah should be given with the best of speech and in the most polite manner. In his last sermon the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said: Convey what you have received from me, even if it is a verse.
