The use of media has become one of the most successful
and beneficial means of communication in this age. This is
due to its popularity and it being a weapon with two edges.
If the media, such as radio, newspapers and television, are
used for giving da`wah, and for guiding people to Allaah
and what the Prophet Muhammad has brought, then this is
a great thing which can benefit the Ummah wherever they
are, by the permission of Allaah. This can also benefit the
non-Muslims in helping them to understand Islaam and
comprehend it, learn about its merits and know that it is the
path to success in this world and in the Hereafter.
It is obligatory for the daa`ees, as well as for the Muslim
rulers to contribute in giving da`wah in every way they can,
through the use of radio, newspaper, television and in
speeches giving in gatherings on Jum`ah (Friday) as well as
on other days. They should also use other means which
enable the people to hear the truth, in all the languages
used by the people, so that da`wah and advice can reach
them wherever they are in the world, in their own
languages.
