How can someone who desires to call to Allah but lacks the method, finds no encouragement, and suffers from shyness and few words begin her dawah?

1 min readAlso available in العربية

Calling to Allah is the mission of the Prophets and their followers. Allah's saying: {Say, "This is my way; I invite to Allah with insight, I and those who follow me."} [Yusuf: 108] indicates that His followers are people of insight who call to Allah. The feeling of fervor for da'wah (calling to Islam) is a sign of faith, as in the story of the man from Ya-Sin: {And a man came running from the farthest part of the city.} [Ya-Sin: 20]. The means of da'wah are numerous, such as letters, booklets, and lectures. The absence of encouragers does not harm, for whoever believes in the nobility of the goal will not be harmed by the failure of others. Allah's saying: {O you who have believed, upon you is [the responsibility for] yourselves. No harm will come to you from those who have gone astray when you have been guided.} [Al-Ma'idah: 105] confirms that if a Muslim fulfills his duty, the misguidance of those who are astray will not harm him.
