The Characteristics of a Da`ee (caller to Islaam):

بسم الله والحمد لله والصلاة والسلام على رسول الله ، وبعد

Shaikh al-Islaam, Ibn Taymiyyah رحمه الله said:

“No doubt (the Da`ee) should have these three (qualities):

1. Knowledge.

2. Gentleness.

3. Sabr.

Knowledge before enjoining (good) and forbidding (evil), gentleness while doing that, and Sabr after doing that.”
