The Call of the Quran
1. Divine Planning

grudges, and to be willing to bear all kinds of
material losses. This relation of
da’i
and
mad’u
can
be founded only on the basis of unilateral sacrifice
on the part of the
da’i.
There is no doubt about it
that this is the most difficult of tasks, one for which
one has to forfeit a great deal.
The willingness to make sacrifices and other such
attributes must be possessed by those who come
forward for the mission of Islamic revival. For the
preparation of such individuals in modern times,
again the same planning is required as was carried
out in the first phase.
In modern times we are in need of a high standard
training centre with all the latest facilities. Set up in
the pure surroundings of nature, far from the
corrupting centres of civilization, such a training
centre would respond fully to this exhortation of
the Qur’an:
... some should stay behind to instruct
themselves in religion and admonish the
others when they return, so that they may
take heed (9:122).
