It requires him to develop a deep and unwavering conviction in the truth of Islam so that he may become its messenger. He must acquire a detailed understanding of Islam in order to present it clearly to others. He must prepare reasoned responses to the false ideas and beliefs that have distanced people from God, so that they may be inclined toward the truth. He must reach out to each individual and, with genuine wellwishing, explain the message in a peaceful manner, according to their psychology, circumstances, and level of understanding.

Once a believer commits himself to fulfilling such a duty, little room remains for him to take interest in anything else.
