be a genuine call to God, even if it is done
in His name.
Calling people to God aims at directing their
attention neither to politics nor to national
issues. It is unequivocally the task of making
people focus on God and must, therefore,
be performed in the correct spirit.
What does ‘calling people to God’ mean?
Primarily, its purpose is to acquaint man
with the creation plan of God. He should be
told what his relationship with God is, and
how God is going to deal with him in future.
In other words, this is like introducing man
to God. Its objective is to awaken man from
his slumber, cause him to realize his
servitude and incline him to turn towards
God.
