Summary
This Bayan Linnas states that Islam is a religion of mercy for all the worlds and that the Prophet was sent as a mercy and a model of noble character. It cites world leaders and religious figures, including the Sheikh of al-Azhar, condemning terrorism and the killing of civilians. Da'wah should be conveyed with good character, knowledge and wisdom, since insults and abuse drive people away from Islam.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Dakwah yang dibawa dengan akhlak, ilmu dan hikmah akan mudah diterima manakala dakwah yang berisi cacian, maki hamun akan menjauhkan manusia dari Islam.
