REMARK BY THE LEADER SAYYID IBRAHEEM ZAKZAKY (H), AT THE INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE ON TABLIGH (MASHHAD, IRAN) 18/05/2022
By Office of Sayyid Ibraheem Zakzaky (H)
Bismillahir rahmanir rahim,
Wa sallallahu ala sayyidina wa nabiyina wa habibi qulubina wa shafi’i zunubina, Abul Qaseem Mustapha Muhammad (S); wa ala Alihid Daiyibinad Dahirinal Ma’asumin, siyama Baqiyatullahi fil ard Sahibul asr waz zaman (arwahuna lahu fida).
Assalamu alaikum wa rahmatullah ta’ala wa barakatuhu:
I will like to share with you, during this your blessed conference about ‘Tabligh’ which comes together different people from different parts of the world in order to participate in this very important conference.
Tabligh we might say is very much needed at this material time when the world, once again, is filled with oppression and darkness and ignorance. The solution is in the hands of the Muslims, for they have the right path with them, and they also have the right guided Imam (AF) living among them except that he is not known and he is not understood.
It is the duty of the ‘Muballighen’ at this material time to take the responsibility of enlightening the general public- the whole world is in need of the enlightenment- and this would be in the preparation for the appearance of the long awaited Imam (AF).
Tabligh should be in different levels. First of all, every ‘Muballigh’ must try to understand his place where he would carry out the message, it is better if he would take this message in his own area where he grown up (where he was born), or we might say at least in his own country or even his locality. He has to understand the need of the community first, and he has to understand the language of the community, and what the community can understand. And that ‘Tabligh’ should be at different levels.
The first level is that there should be a class- an adult school. This is very important. We sometimes assume that people from different walks of life know a lot, but when you come in direct contact with them you would find out that there are a lot of things they do not understand. You have to have classes for adults, and (those adults) should also be categorized: those who can be able to read and write- who have attended schools, who can understand the language when spoken to in a higher level; and those who can not (read, write, or understand the language when spoken to). Very important it has to be in the class- in a school- not in the open air. And that school for the adults should include both men and women.
The second category should be school for children, and this is the most important because the adults have already grown up and they knew very little in their childhood and now you have to use the language they can understand at their age. But if there is school for children they will grow up with it Inshaa Allah, and they will be the future generation that will teach the next generation. They will grow up in it. (Starting with) primary school, and then later secondary school, and even prepare them for higher education. This is very important.
The third category should be for the general public openly for everyone, for example in mosques during Friday prayers or in other locations even in the open air where you can speak to different people at different levels. As I have said earlier, you have to understand the people you are going to speak to. Are they people who can understand what you are saying? If they can not, you have to use the language they can understand. The language here doesn’t mean the dialect, what I mean is what you can speak to them at their level (of knowledge) and they can understand you. That is very important.
And also of course if there is the possibility to have the use of other media like radio, television, newspaper and what is very common in these days: the social media, all should be used in making ‘Tabligh’.
The ‘Muballighen’ you have to understand that you are the helpers of the awaited Imam (AF), you are doing the work of the awaited Imam (AF).
May Allah (SWT) bless you all, may He enable all of you carry out the duty bestowed upon you, Inshaa Allah!
Wa sallallahu ala Muhammad wa alihid dahirin.
Wassalam alaikum wa rahmatullah..

Bismillahir rahmanir rahim,
Wa sallalahu ala sayyidina wa nabiyina wa habibi qulubina wa shafi’i zunubina, Abul Qaseem Mustapha Muhammad (S); wa ala alihid daiyibinad dahirinal ma’asumin, siyama baqiyatullahi fil ard Sahibul asr waz zaman (arwahuna lahu fida).
Assalamu alaikum wa rahmatullah ta’ala wa barakatuhu:
Zan so na dan yi tsokaci kadan a wannan taro na ku mai albarka da dimbin muhimmanci akan “Tabligh” wanda mutane daga bangarori daban-daban na duniya su ka samu halarta.
Mu na iya cewa al’umma na tsananin bukatar ‘tabligh’ musamman a wannan lokaci da duniya ta sake cika da zalunci, duhu, da kuma rashin sani (jahilci). Mafitar kuma na hannun Musulmi ne, don su ke da tafarkin gaskiya, sannan su na rayuwa tare da limamin shiriya (AF) a cikin su, kawai dai ba a san shi ba ne kuma ba a fahimce shi ba.
Haqqi ne akan duk wani ‘muballighi’ a wannan lokacin ya daukar ma kan shi ‘takalifin’ wayar da kan al’umma- duniya ma baki daya na bukatar wayar da kai- wanda hakan zai zama tamkar shiri ne na bayyanar jagoran shiriya da ake jira (AF).
Ya kamata ‘tabligh’ ya zama a mataki daban-daban. Da farko, ya zama wajibi akan kowane ‘muballighi’ ya fahimci al’ummar da zai isar da sakon gare ta, ya fi kyautuwa idan zai isar da sakon ne ga al’ummar da ya tashi a cikin ta (inda aka haife shi); ko mu ce aqalla ya zama a kasar da ya ke, ko kuma yankin shi. Ya zama wajibi da farko ya fahimci bukatar al’ummar da zai isar ma da sakon, ya fahimci yaren al’ummar, da kuma abun da su za su iya fahimta. Sannan kuma wannan ‘tabligh’ din ya zama an yi shi mataki-mataki ne.
Matakin farko shi ne ya kamata a samar da ajin manya- ko makarantar manyan mutane. Wannan na da matukar muhimmanci. Wani lokacin mu kan yi tsammanin cewa mabanbantan mutane sun san abubuwa sosai, amma idan mu’amala ya hada ka da su, sai ka ga ba su san abubuwa da dama ba. Ya kamata ya zama akwai ajin manyan mutane, kuma shi ma ajin (na manya) ya kamata a raba shi ne: wadanda su ka iya rubutu da karatu- wadanda su ka halarci makaranta, wadanda za su fahimci karatu an yi musu; da kuma bangaren wadanda ba su iya (karatu ko rubutu ba). Kuma ya na da muhimmanci ya zama a cikin aji ne (makaranta) za a koyar da su- ba wai a bayyanannen fili ba. Kuma harwalayau, wannan makarantar ya kamata ya hada maza ne da mata.
Kaso na biyu shi ne samar da makarantar yara kanana, wannan ya ma fi kowanne muhimmanci saboda su manya tuni sun girma kuma sun san abu qalilan ne a yarintar su saboda haka yanzu sai dai a yi amfani da yaren da za su iya fahimta a shekarun su (na tsufa). Amma idan makarantar yara, to zai zama sun tashi da shi ne Inshaa Allah, kuma za su kasance al’ummar da za su koyar (da Ilimin) ga wadanda za su zo nan gaba. Za su girma cikin (Ilimin). Ya zama an fara daga matakin Firamare, zuwa Sakandare, har ma zuwa matakin gaba da Sakandare. Wannan na da matuqar muhimmanci.
Kaso na uku shi ne (Ilmantar) da sauran al’umma baki daya, wanda kowa zai iya kasancewa daga ciki. Misali, a Masallatai a lokacin sallar Juma’a ko a sauran gurare, hatta ma a bayyanannen muhalli inda za a iya magana da mutane daban-daban a mataki daban-daban (na Ilimi). Kamar yanda na fada tun farko, akwai bukatar a fahimci mutanen da za a isar da sakon gare su. Mutane ne da za su fahimci abun da a ke fada? Idan ba za su iya ba, to sai a yi amfani da yaren da za su iya fahimta daidai da kwakwalen su. Kuma yare a nan ba ina nufin harshen da ake magana da shi ba (dialect) ne, a’a ina nufin sakon da za a isar mu su kuma ya zama sun fahimta daidai da matakin Ilimi da fahimta da su ke da shi. Wannan na da muhimmanci sosan gaske.
Sannan kuma idan akwai hali za a iya amfani da kafafen isar da sako kamar radiyo, talabishan, jaridu da kuma abun da ya fi shahara yanzu- kafafen sadarwa na zamani; duk za a iya amfani da su wajen yin ‘tabligh’.
Ma su yin ‘tabligh’ ya na da kyau ku fahimci cewa ku mataimaka limamin shiriya da ake jiran bayyanar shi (AF) ne, ku na yin aikin Imamin da ake jira (AF) ne.
Allah Ya yi mu ku albarka, Ya ba ku ikon sauke nauyin haqqin da ya rataya a wuyan ku, Inshaa Allah.
Wa sallalahu ala Muhammad wa alihid dahirin.
