The Most Exalted Mission And Call - Calling People unto Allah

The Most Exalted Mission And Call

Also ponder over the significant statement:

And who is better in speech than who calls people to Allah (41:33)

These Quranic words point out that in this world many motivated and capable men invite  people  to  various  envisaged  ends  and  work  untiringly  to  achieve  their  goals.  

For example, some sound out a call for the interests of their tribe and clan, some praise their homeland and work for its greatness, some claim to stand for and establish democratic political system in their society, while some others try to enforce communist ideals in their polity and economy. But of all these, the most high, sublime and exalted is the call of a person who invites men to their Creator - Allah - and His Deen. 

As a matter of fact there is no higher calling on this earth in which a person can engage himself than this one, viz to become a summoner unto Allah and to become like the Holy Prophet (who was a beacon house of light) at least a small candle of guidance. According to the Qur’an this ideal and mission in life is the highest thing people should aspire and crave for:

…and for this let aspirants aspire (83:26)
