Praise for Those Who Convey the Message: Understanding the Importance of Da'wah
PRAISE FOR THOSE WHO CONVEY THE MESSAGE.ALLĀH says:
الَّذِينَ يُبَلِّغُونَ رِسَالَاتِ اللَّهِ
˹ALLĀH praises˺ those who convey the messages of ALLĀH,
meaning, to HIS creation, and fulfill that with which they have been entrusted.
وَيَخْشَوْنَهُ
and fear HIM,
means, they fear HIM and they do not fear any besides HIM, so no threats on the part of anyone can prevent them from conveying the Message of ALLĀH.
وَلَا يَخْشَوْنَ أَحَدًا إِلاَّ اللَّهَ
and do not fear anyone but ALLĀH.
وَكَفَى بِاللَّهِ حَسِيبًا
And sufficient is ALLĀH as Accountant.
means, sufficient is ALLĀH as a Helper and Supporter.
The leader of all people in this regard and in all regards is Muhammad the Messenger of ALLĀH (ﷺ), for he undertook to convey the Message to the people of the east and of the west, to all kinds of the sons of Adam, so ALLĀH caused his word, his religion and his law to prevail over all other religions and laws. The Prophets before him were sent only to their own peoples, but he was sent to all of mankind, Arabs and non-Arabs alike.
قُلْ يَأَيُّهَا النَّاسُ إِنِّى رَسُولُ اللَّهِ إِلَيْكُمْ جَمِيعًا
Say:"O mankind! Verily, I am sent to you all as the Messenger of ALLĀH." (7:158)
Then his Ummah inherited the task of conveying from him, and the greatest of those who undertook this task after him were his Companions, may ALLĀH be pleased with them, who conveyed from him as he had commanded them, describing all his words, deeds and circumstances, night and day, when he was settled and when he was traveling, in private and in public, may ALLĀH be pleased with them. Thereafter each generation inherited from their predecessors until our own time, so those who are guided, follow their example and their way. We ask ALLĀH, the Most Generous Bestower, to make us among their heirs.
{Tafsir Ibn Kathīr}
