nicate Allah's deen. That is, he must educate himself both spiri-
tually and intellectually. He must make every effort to speak and
write concisely, to the point and on topic, to be persuasive, ef-
fective and to satisfy his listeners with the wisdom learnt from
Allah's deen. The main requirement is that a believer learn the
deen of Islam, the meanings of the verses of the Qur'an and
grasp the conduct and the sayings of our Prophet, may Allah
bless him and grant him peace. So, all these preparations and ef-
forts have a special place in the daily life of that believer who is
qualified and authorised to call others to Allah and His Messen-
ger.
