How the People of Nuh Predicted the Modern Da’wa Scene
The life of an Islamic da’ee (preacher) is one of sacrifice and patience. Prophet Nuh عَلَيْهِ ٱلسَّلَامُ demonstrates this, who preached for almost 10 centuries for the sake of Allah while facing rejection and opposition. An overlooked point is why the people of Nuh rejected their prophet - his lack of popularity. The people’s understanding was that a preacher needed to be famous, wealthy and in the company of the rich.

This article exposes how blind loyalty leads to corruption and how all Muslims have a responsibility to enjoin good even in times of widespread evil.
