this is through the collective and individual efforts of the sincere preachers like them that today, Sunnahs have prevailed in our society.

Those who were drifting into the darkness of disbelief, who were heretics (people with corrupt beliefs), who were disobedient to their parents, who were fashion lovers, who were passionate about music and singing, who were indulged in Haraam acts and carnal love; in short, they were severely submerged into various sins, but when the sincere preachers of Dawat-e-Islami called them towards righteousness drawing their attention towards the contemplation of Hereafter whilst being overcome with the fear of Allah Almighty, then the same very people became soft-hearted, associated themselves with Dawat-e-Islami and began to propagate Sunnahs. Therefore, we should also mentally prepare ourselves to take part in this great noble cause.

اَلْـحَمْـدُ لـِلّٰـه عَزَّوَجَلَّ! The noble act of calling Muslims towards righteousness in order to reform them is such a great action that Allah Almighty has also praised such people in the Glorious Quran who perform this important obligation. Therefore, it is stated in part 24, Surah Ha-Meem As-Sajdah, Ayah no. 33:

وَ مَنْ اَحْسَنُ قَوْلًا مِّمَّنْ دَعَاۤ اِلَى اللّٰهِ وَ عَمِلَ صَالِحًا وَّ قَالَ اِنَّنِیْ مِنَ الْمُسْلِمِیْنَ(۳۳)

Translation from Kanz-ul-Iman: And whose speech is better than him who calls towards his Lord and does righteous deeds, and says, ‘I am a Muslim’?

(Part 24, Surah Ha-Meem As-Sajdah, Ayah 33)

Commenting on the foregoing Ayah, the renowned commentator of the Holy Quran, Mufti Ahmad Yar Khan رَحْمَةُ اللهِ تَعَالٰی عَلَيْه has stated: In this (calling towards righteousness), the Beloved Rasool صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم is the best. By his sake, blessed saints رَحِمَهُمُ الـلّٰـهُ تَـعَالٰی and scholars, even Muazzins (i.e. those who call towards Salah), those who say Takbeer, and every believer who calls the creation of Allah Almighty towards any righteousness are also included in the aforementioned Ayah. So we have come to know that Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ loves the speech of the one who calls towards righteousness, even if he does so in simple words and has a rough voice. (Tafseer Noor-ul-‘Irfan, pp. 766)
