As a
Muslim we need to spread the Islamic values in our lives. Each of our
behavior, words, and our appearance indirectly reflects the Islam.
Every Muslim can be regarded as an ambassador of
the Islamic religion. If various ambassadors at school, college, or
company will reflect the company and if we want to ask things about
school, college, or company can be asked to the ambassador. So a Muslim is also
required to be able to have knowledge about his religion in order to
become a good ambassador.
An
ambassador will convey the things that interest him in what he says. The
ambassadors of Islam will also convey the things that can make others
interested and understand about Islam. Shouting to goodness becomes an
important thing for a Muslim, because
Allah Subhana wa ta'ala says in Al-Qur'an
Chapter Al-imron verse 104.
Translation:
"And let there be among you a people who call upon righteousness, enjoin the ma'ruf and
prevent from being evil; they are the lucky ones. "
The
meaning of this verse should be a group of people who are ready to
take on this role, although it is an obligation for
every individual of the people according to his capacity, as affirmed
in the book of Sahih Muslim, from Abu Hurayrah, he said, Allah's
Messenger said: "Whoever sees munkar(badness), then let him change
with his hands, if he cannot, then he should change his tongue and if he
cannot, then he should change with his heart and that is as weak as the weak
faith. "(Narrated by Muslim)
Great
virtues that can be obtained through preaching one of them is like in
the hadith of the Shahabah of Uqbah bin 'Amr
bin Tsa'labah radhiallahu'anhu, that the Messenger of
Allah sallallaahu'alaihi wasallam said:
"Whoever
leads to goodness will earn a reward like the reward of the one who does
it" (Narrated by Muslim No. 1893).
Some of
the fads of this hadith are: The virtue of da'wah in the way of Allah
and showing kindness to others, whether the good of the world or
the hereafter. The person who shows kindness will get the reward for
showing the goodness and reward of the people who follow it. Charities
that can be felt by others are more beneficial than charities whose
benefits are limited to oneself. This Hadith includes people who show
kindness to others with their deeds, though not with their verbal. Like people
who spread the books that are useful, have a noble character and hold fast to
the Islamic Shariah so that everyone can inspired by it. The
virtue teaches the knowledge and the magnitude of the reward of a
teacher who expects the reward of the Hereafter. It is advisable to ask God to
be an example of goodness.
So when
we want to get more reward, one of them is by da'wah or teach islam to everyone.
If we try to think, as great or as much as we worship, prayer. Of course the
reward is only one man's reward. But when we invite or preach to the example of
two people who diligently pray through the medium
of da'wah we do, we will get additional reward for two
people prayer. If you invite a hundred people, a thousand people, of course
more rewards.
