The Two Types of Da’wa Or Conversion

Ibraheem. Sulaiman writes, “Muslims have … no reason to accept secular values, or to have any faith in secularism”. According to Sulaiman Muslims “want the full restoration of Islam: As a religion, as a polity, as a civilization” because “Islam by its integrative and all-embracing nature renders Secularism even in its best form irrelevant.” The only acceptable framework for Muslims, as far as he is concerned, is the model established by Muhammad in the 7th century Medina: “The is the eternal unalterable model the Sunnah laid down by the blessed Prophet for all times, an for mankind. It is, moreover, the only acceptable framework for Muslims. Muslims have, therefore, an eternal obligation not merely to live as a religious community, but to set up for themselves a state which will safeguard the interest of all people and enhance their moral integrity ; a state where Islamic ideas can be given concrete manifestations” (I. Sulaiman, The Islamic State an the Challenges of History: Ideals, Policies, and Operations of the Sokoto Caliphate). References 1. Sulaiman, I (1987).
