Allah has ordered Muslims to remind other Muslims about Allah and His orders. When we neglected the work of reminding other Muslim about Allah and His orders Muslims will forget about Allah and His orders. Allah has created men to be forgetful. Forgetfulness has been the natures of men. Allah knows our weakness and Allah has ordered us to constantly reminding other Muslims about Allah and the orders of Allah. Allah has said in the Quran in meaning that the work of reminding is beneficial to those who believe but it gives no benefit to those who has no believe in Allah and the life hereafter. Allah also said in the Quran that to those who has no believe in Allah and hereafter whether you remind them or not it is the same. Allah has ordered us to remind the Muslims about Allah and His orders but to the non-Muslim Allah has ordered us to gives dakwah. Dakwah means to proclaim the Great Kalimah to the non-Muslim until they decide to accept and testify that there is no God except Allah and Muhammad is the Prophet of Allah. We must not only do the work of dakwah or tabligh to the non-Muslim but we must also do the work of reminding the Muslims about Allah and His orders. When Muslims only do the work of dakwah to the non-Muslims and forgetting the work of reminding the Muslims about Allah and the orders of Allah, a time will comes when Muslims will forget Allah and forget the orders of Allah. The first order of Allah that the Muslims will forget is the order of giving dakwah to the non-Muslims.

During the times of Prophet Muhammad s.a.w, all Muslims did the work of dakwah. Everyone during those days understands that the work of Muslims is to give dakwah. Everyone during those days understand that after reciting the Great Kalimah the first order that they have to do is to convey the Great Kalimah to those that have not accept the Kalimah. However, Muslims tend to neglect the work of reminding the Muslims about Allah and the orders of Allah. Although the work of dakwah continues but the number of Muslims that tend to forget that the work of dakwah is the first order of Allah grows bigger. As times goes on not only Muslims neglect the work of reminding the Muslims but Muslims also neglect the work of dakwah to non-Muslims. When Muslims were in this situation then the whole world is in total darkness. The world during those days was devoid of justice and truth. The world is in the period of darkness as it was before the coming of Prophet Muhammad s.a.w. It was during those periods that non-Muslims colonize almost all the Muslim countries. When Sheikh Muhammad Ilyas came with the work of Prophet Muhammad s.a.w during the early 20^th century, some light tend to descend to the Muslim world. It was during those times, that Allah frees the Muslim countries from the colonization of the non-Muslims.

Muslims at any times must not forget the work of reminding the Muslims about Allah and the first orders of Allah. The first order of Allah is to do the work of dakwah. Dakwah means the invite the non-Muslim to bear witness that there is no God except Allah and to bear witness that Muhammad is the Prophet of Allah. The first pillar of Islam will not be established when Muslims forget to do the work of dakwah. When the first pillar of Islam is not established, then the other four pillars of Islam are also not properly established. Some Muslims only want to give dakwah to non-Muslims and forgetting the work of reminding the Muslims while other Muslims only want to do the work of reminding the Muslim and forgetting the work of dakwah. We should do both the work of dakwah and the work of reminding the Muslims at all times. Even if all the peoples in the world have embraced Islam and becomes Muslims the work of reminding the Muslims about Allah and the Orders of Allah should not stop. In case the Muslims at all times do the work of dakwah and the work of reminding the Muslims then Islam will never degenerate till doomsday as we have witnessed today.

When we meet Muslims, we should remind each other about Allah and the orders of Allah. We should remind each other about the meaning of the Great Kalimah and that our success and the success of the entire humankind are in the obedience of the commandments of Allah. We should remind the Muslims and invite them to obey the commandments of Allah particularly to do the work of dakwah and the work of reminding the Muslims and to perform five times daily solat with congregation in the mosques. Allah has sent Prophet Muhammad s.a.w and his followers to the entire humankind to do the work of Prophet. We have to do the work of visiting the Muslims as well as the non-Muslims daily. We have to allocate at least minimum 45 minutes daily to do the work of visiting both the Muslims and the non-Muslims. When we meet the Muslims, we remind each other about the meaning of the Great Kalimah and the orders of Allah and when we meet non-Muslims, we should invite them to recite the Great Kalimah. In case, we are not able to talk to them then we should make doa to Allah so that Allah may give them guidance.

The basic work of all Prophets throughout the ages is that all Prophets went to the people and invite them to Allah and the orders of Allah. Prophets do not give long lectures and do not invite the peoples to listen to their lectures. Prophets spend hours daily visiting the peoples to invite them to Allah and the orders of Allah. All Prophets do not spends hours giving lectures but they go to each and everyone to invite them to Allah and the orders of Allah. All Prophets spend hours meeting the peoples in the streets, in their houses and in their farms and inviting them to Allah and the orders of Allah. Only to those who believe in Allah and in the Prophets and are ready to obey the orders of Allah, Prophets will teach them practically the orders of Allah.  Now Muslims are very fond of giving long lectures and listening to lectures about Islam and they think they have done a great work. There is no great work other than the work done by Prophets. Allah has made the works of Prophets as a means for making the orders of Allah alive. Until the Muslims do the work of Prophets like all the Prophets did, Allah will not make Islam alive. If we want to make Islam alive, we have to do the work of Prophets the way the Prophets did.
