It is believed by some that the order of dawat has been adopted from other worldly systems. Not so—the order of dawat is foremost and eternal. Rasulullah (SA) brought the religion of Islam and instituted dawat for the protection of religion.

The tenets of deen are based on revelation. These tenets are eternal for they are not based on education by mortals.

The kuffar of Quraysh claimed that Rasulullah (SA) was tutored by Abu Fukaiha, the freed slave of Ibn ul Khidrimi, Allah proclaims: “We know indeed that they say, ‘It is a man that teaches him.’ The tongue of whom they wickedly point at is foreign, while this is Arabic pure and clear.” Abu Fukaiha was an Abraani (Hebrew); he spoke a foreign language. Therefore it is foolish to assume that he taught the Quran to Rasulullah (SA). Allah says: “Verily, the Quran is revelation, taught by the mighty.” Who then was the teacher of Rasulullah (SA)? Rasulullah’s (SA) teacher was the mighty Jibraeel.

Rasulullah’s (SA) words are words of revelation.

His deeds are based on revelation.

His commands are founded on revelation.

His forbiddance is in accord with revelation.

A mumin, therefore, need not evaluate the commands and teachings of Rasulullah (SA); there is no possibility for reconsideration.
