Conveying this universal divine message to all the nations of the world (dawah) is another important teaching of the Prophet. As a requirement of Islam this turns every believer into a universal ambassador for dawah activity. Coming out of the limited sphere of one’s self, one is made to think at the level of all humanity. As a result, an activity like that of dawah produces universal thinking among the faithful. The responsibility of dawah takes the believer out of the local sphere and turns him into a global personality. The truth is that universality is an inseparable part of Quranic thinking. One who adopts the Quranic way will start thinking at the universal level. His personality will be linked with the entire human brotherhood. In spite of being located in a particular region, he becomes a citizen of the universe as far as his thinking is concerned. In this respect, it can rightly be said that Islam or the Quran promotes universal citizenship. o NOTICE Subscribers are requested to inform us about non-receipt of their copies, latest by 15th of the month, providing their full name and address.
