No Interference

~ 100 ~ political battles with their rulers on one count or another, to the extent that the word ‘Islamic da’wah’ has, for Muslim rulers, become almost synonymous with subversion. Such nefarious practices have led not only to the loss of full co-operation by Muslim governments in the da’wah mission, but also to a situation in which, even when individuals or groups attempt to engage in dawah work, quite independently of official support, the government treats such efforts with extreme suspicion and creates obstacles to their being a success. It is high time to divorce from da’wah work any political machinations designed to destabilize or even unseat Muslim rulers, whether it be in the name of Islam or for any other cause, so that in every Muslim country, Islamic missionaries may benefit from the cooperation of their national governments. Only with such aid will it be possible to bring about on the desired scale a revival of Islam, the introduction of nonMuslims to Islam and the reform of Muslims themselves.
