The Da'wah Applications of the Essential Objectives for Preserving the Intellect Through the Prophetic Biography (An Analytical Study)
Abstract
This analytical study explores the da'wah (propagation) applications of the essential Islamic objective to preserve the intellect, as derived from the Prophetic biography. It emphasizes the centrality of intellect in Islamic jurisprudence and its prioritization after faith and life. Through an analysis of Quranic verses, Prophetic traditions, and historical examples, the study outlines the methodologies used in safeguarding the intellect, such as promoting education, prohibiting intoxicants, and adopting thoughtful dialogue. Specific applications include prohibiting harmful substances, intellectual development through teaching, and fostering critical thinking through reflections on past nations and natural phenomena. The research also highlights practical approaches for both the preacher and the audience, showcasing the importance of rational and ethical frameworks in da'wah practices. These include utilising evidence-based reasoning, addressing misconceptions, and engaging in constructive dialogue. By examining these strategies, the study underscores the role of preserving intellect in enhancing individual and societal well-being within the Islamic worldview.
