8.  Do not equate this task (DA’WAH) as being similar with other kinds
of professions. It is AMANAH as a mission and – not a vocation.
 Remember, it has been carried out by an unbroken chain of DU’AT,
faithfully linked to the Prophet Muhammad s.a.a.w.
 This legacy is the foremost concern because DEEN-AL-ISLAM has
been perfected and there will be no more new prophet sent to all
mankind after our Muhammad s.a.a.w.
 Every Muslim are to be developed towards assisting DA’WAH
ISLAMIYYAH, in whatever capacity they attained, the most basic is
to become Witnesses of Islam with their life for others.

9.  Each region may underwent its own unique history, experiences
especially of “civilizational osmosis”. Therefore to have knowledge
and true appreciation of their respective history, to benefit from the
work of previous scholars and propagators, managing proper
transmission of their work with ADAB, especially in learning
adequately of Wisdom and experience gained by them, is
imperative.
 This is crucial – failure in fulfilling this is being ungrateful and can
lead to (KHIYAANAH) treachery to the Prophetic legacy.
 Remember, Allah SWT has stipulated the criteria for carrying it out.
