The Virtue of calling Others to Allah

وَمَنْ أَحْسَنُ قَوْلاً مِّمَّن دَعَآ إِلَى اللَّهِ

(And who is better in speech than he who invites to Allah,) means, he calls the servants of Allah to Him.

Chapter 41, Page 480, Juz 24

33. Who speaks better than someone who calls people to God, does what is right, and says, ‘I am one of those devoted to God’? 34. Good and evil cannot be equal. [Prophet], repel evil with what is better and your enemy will become as close as an old and valued friend, 35. but only those who are steadfast in patience, only those who are blessed with great righteousness, will attain to such goodness. 36. If a prompting from Satan should stir you, seek refuge with God: He is the All Hearing and the All Knowing. 37. The night, the day, the sun, the moon, are only a few of His signs. Do not bow down in worship to the sun or the moon, but bow down to God who created them, if it is truly Him that you worship. 38. If the disbelievers are too arrogant, [remember, Prophet, that] those who are with your Lord glorify Him tirelessly night and day. 39. Another of His signs is this: you see the earth lying desolate, but when We send water down on to it, it stirs and grows. He who gives it life will certainly give life to the dead. He has power over everything. 40. Those who distort the meaning of Our message are not hidden from Us. Is he who is hurled into the Fire better, or he who comes through safely on the Day of Resurrection? Do whatever you want, God certainly sees everything you do. 41. Those who reject the Quran when it comes to them- though it is an unassailable Scripture 42. which falsehood cannot touch from any angle, a Revelation sent down from the Wise One, Worthy of All Praise- 43. [should remember that] you [Prophet] are not told anything that the previous messengers were not told: your Lord is a Lord of forgiveness, but also of painful punishment. 44. If We had made it a foreign Quran, they would have said, ‘If only its verses were clear! What? Foreign speech to an Arab?’ Say, ‘It is guidance and healing for those who have faith, but the ears of the disbelievers are heavy, they are blind to it, it is as if they are being called from a distant place.’

- M.A.S. Abdel Haleem
