القيادة والوعي في المنهج الدعوي النبوي: دراسة في مقومات التأثير الدعوي المعاصر
(Leadership and Awareness in the Prophetic Daʿwah Methodology: A Study of the Components of Contemporary Daʿwah Influence)
Abstract
Abstract
This study examines the daʿwah methodology in the Prophetic biography through an analytical investigation of the formation of the preacher’s character, drawing on the model of the Prophet Muḥammad ﷺ in conveying the divine message and confronting challenges. The research problem arises from the question of the essential qualities that a Muslim preacher must possess in order to be effective and successful across different times and contexts, and how these qualities may be derived from the Prophetic biography to address the challenges of contemporary daʿwah practice. The study aims to analyse the leadership qualities, formative and professional competencies, situational awareness, and ethical attributes that constituted the foundation of the success of the Prophetic mission, while presenting a practical model from which contemporary preachers may benefit. The research adopts an inductive–analytical approach in tracing Prophetic practices, alongside a critical approach that relates these qualities to the realities of present-day daʿwah work. The study arrives at several key findings, most notably that the success of daʿwah cannot be achieved solely through the possession of religious knowledge; rather, it requires the comprehensive development of the preacher’s character, grounded in steadfastness to principles, patience, informed leadership, an understanding of the nature of differences, and adherence to ethical standards in daʿwah. It further concludes that situational awareness and sensitivity to the conditions of the audience constitute two decisive elements in renewing daʿwah discourse and enhancing its impact, and that a return to the Prophetic methodology is capable of addressing many of the deficiencies evident in contemporary daʿwah practice.
Keywords: leadership; patience; situational awareness; ethics; steadfastness; compassion; coexistence.
