The attributes of a successful caller to Allāh, from the speech of Shaykh Ṣāliḥ al-Fawzān (hafidhahullāh), a lecture by Ustādh Abdul Hakeem Mitchell (hafidhahullāh), held jointly with Salafi Dawah Sweden

• Debating and listening to the other side, and how people misuse the caller's own actions as a proof

• Beginning with the most important: Muʿādh sent to Yemen and the call to Lā ilāha illAllāh first

• Good manners as part of the call, since poor conduct can itself become a doubt

• Building upon the foundations: lessons in ʿaqīdah such as the books of Shaykh al-Islām Muḥammad ibn ʿAbd al-Wahhāb
