Thank God we praise Him, seek His forgiveness, repent to him, and ask him to protect us from the evils of ourselves and our evil deeds. The person guided by Allah will never be mislead and the person mislead by Allah will never be guided. No God but Allah with no partner, He has sent His Messengers of good cheer and warning, in order to let mankind have no argument against Allah after the messengers, the Prophet Muhammad is His slave, His Messenger, and His beloved, God sent him with guidance and with the Religion of Truth to proclaim it over all religion: Allah pray and bless on him and on his family and companions and his followers until the Day of judgment, afterwards:


The call to Allah Almighty is one of the best jobs and works; it is the prophets' and messengers' main job, and the main work of the rest reformers. Allah Almighty stated in His Book that people's best speech is when they call to Allah, He says {And who is better in speech than he who invites men to Allah and does good works and says, ‘I am surely of those who submit?’ } . The Messenger of Allah peace is upon him referred to those who call for Allah and work as they learned and taught others as people of highest degree and are the most people affected and affects others by religion, and the most people benefited by grace given by Allah to earth. Al-Bukhaari and Muslim illustrated this hadeeth which is taken from Abu Musa al-Ash'ari taken from the Messenger of Allah peace be upon which says:


" Allah sent me for guidance and knowledge and this is similar to the rain that falls on the ground and get out a good race which accepted the water and grew a lot of hay and grass , there were waterless parts which held the water and as a result people benefit from it; they drank , irrigated and planted. On the other hand, there is another section that does not hold the water or grow grass, this is the same as the person who understands the religion of Allah, uses it and teach it and the person who did not pay attention to this and did not accept the guidance of Allah."


The Messenger of Allah peace is upon him referred to the great reward that will be taken by the preachers of Allah. Al-Bukhaari and Muslim illustrated this hadeeth which is taken from Sahl bin Saad Al Saedi taken from the Messenger of Allah peace be upon which says: "I will give the flag tomorrow to a man guided by Allah, he loves Allah and His Messenger and loved by God and His Messenger. Then the people at that day remained wondering who will take this flag? The second day all people went to the Messenger of Allah peace be upon him and hoped to take the flag, then he asked, "Where is Ali Ibn Abi Talib?" one answered him, his eyes hurts him. Then the Messenger of Allah peace is upon him said: "send him to me." And when Ali Ibn Abi Talib came, the Messenger of Allah peace is upon him spit on his eyes and as result his eyes were healed completely, then Ali may Allah is pleased with him asked the Messenger of Allah "shall I fight them until they be like us." The Messenger of Allah peace is upon him answered "take your army and go to them and Call them to Islam and tell them what they should do to satisfy the right of Allah. And By Allah, if you guided one man to Allah, it is better for you than giving red camels. "This means better than presenting a very large amount of money as a charity.
