[quote]<p align=justify>Nice to have your comments. <p align=justify>Actually, I was aiming at clarifying the level of responsibilities with which Muslims of different grades in our society have been entrusted in the perspective of preaching. <p align=justify>In other words, my first concern is that Muslims should know what actually their duty is as far as Dawah is concerned. By looking at the Holy Qur'an, we know that Allah has asked of the common Muslims to perform the task of Tawasi Bil Haq waw Tawasi Bil Sabr in their immediate surrounding; they are supposed to exhort each other to the right path and persevarance. <p align=justify>As far as the explaination of religion and Indhar at the level of the entire society is concerned, it is the responsibility of the Scholars, people who gain Tafaqquh (intimate understanding of the religion) by studying and gaining practical knowledge over years. <p align=justify>Just as it is dangerous for a non-physician to practice medicine, it is of devastating nature for a person who is not a Scholar to go beyond his sphere and publicly do Indhar. <p align=justify>As far as this distinction is kept in perspective, there is nothing to object to. The reason I mentioned my concerns above is that some people motivate other common Muslims that the latter should go out for polishing the hearts of others. Now this is what cannot be condoned. For one reason, it is not the duty of those people who are called upon to do this and secondly they do not have the requisite skill and ability to that end. <p align=justify>Having said that, I fully appreciate the point that one should not be too sensitive about household activities to the detriment of learning and living a social life. I also appreciate the efforts of those who invest substantial time, out of their tight schedules, to learn their religion. But since this learning is not of the scholarly nature, they do not acquire the skills and knowledge of a scholar. Therefore the distinction remains between the duties of common Muslims and those of the scholars. Am I right?[/quote]
