Is what a group of university students in Morocco are doing — dedicating time to Da‘wah (proselytizing) and Dhikr (remembrance of Allah) gatherings, and downplaying the importance of studying on the pretext that sustenance is guaranteed and that focusing on the fleeting worldly life is not required, while asserting that strengthening faith can only be achieved through Da‘wah, and refusing to listen to scholars, relying instead on books and explanations of Hadith, and being strict in applying the Sunnah — islamically sound?

Ruling on a group requires knowing its methodology, and fairness and justice must be observed in this. Calling to Allah is an obligation kifayatan (communal) and aynan (individual) according to one's ability and knowledge, and it includes men and women. The da'wah (call) must be based on knowledge and insight, and the caller must strive to increase in knowledge and act upon it. Faith is achieved by learning the revelation, acting upon it, and calling to it. The causes of guidance include believing in Allah, following the Messenger (peace be upon him), learning the revelation and acting upon it, regularly performing acts of worship, and having a divine emotional connection. Preachers and Muslims should have a balance between their da'wah, academic, and material lives, and they should rely on Allah while taking lawful means. Provision is in Allah's hands, and righteous deeds, prayer, and supplication are among the means of fulfilling needs. A Muslim should be strong-willed and active in seeking lawful provision, and take the necessary means. Discouraging people from scholars is wrong, and they should be asked about what is difficult to understand, because piety does not negate the need to seek their assistance in understanding the revelation.
