Points of Dawah this nation and the most imperative right is the Prophets' Will, which puts people in the right direction and path of guidance.  The Qur'an mentions in verse 180 In Chapter 2, "that if anybody reaches death, if he leaves any goodness...it is the will or a bequest to parents and the close ones, a duty to the pious servants".   "O Prophet! Truly We have sent thee as a Witness, a Bearer of Glad Tidings, and a Warner― (45) And as one who invites to Allah's (Grace) by His leave, and as a Lamp spreading Light." 1) First and foremost,  it is all for Allah (swt).   2) Be sincere and believe in what you are doing. 3) Stick to the truth. 4) Invite with both your tongue and your actions, (actions are key). 6) Be Patient when receiving a lot of questions and attacks, (they may be the best among you).  When you find certain people that are simply attacking for the sake of it, leave the links with them, and move on to others seeking the Truth.  It is okay to respond to negative people who will simply not believe, perhaps InshaAllah one day they may, but do not allow them to drain you or bring you down, there are many people who have not heard the Dawah before. 7) Explain to others that the Prophet (sawas) has a right that must be given to C) Prophet (sawas) used to run up to the caravans which used to come from various cities of the Middle East and gave Dawah to them.   D) And of course his silent Dawah is through his personality, and his honest and truthful nature.  8) To promote the Supremacy of Allah (swt) and from it arises the question of how we can distinguish a caliphate/ viceroy of Allah (swt).  It is important to tell the people that seek truth, that the kingdom is for Allah and no one can partner Him (swt) in His Kingship.  This brings about awareness that the caliphate cannot be selected by a kingship or authority which is not from Allah, and it has to be Allah (swt) Himself Who chooses.  Democracy is a negative form of supremacy , and must be harshly criticized to eradicate its elements, and people must voice strong disapproval to it if they truly believe in the kingship and supremacy of Allah swt.  Understanding it IS.  It is much more effective to explain one single concept of the Dawah in an eloquent way, like the Supremacy of Allah (swt) and not the supremacy of the people.  You can also focus on the many other aspects of the Dawah, and becoming efficient at focusing in one area of the Dawah is better than speaking about many different Islamic subjects in an incoherent way.  That is why when you are giving the Dawah, find an area in which you have interest, knowledge, or capabilities of sharing, and focus your efforts in that area, InshaAllah if everyone does this, it will be an effective functioning body.   5) You should be knowledgeable of what you say. B) Prophet (sawas) used to  invite people over for food and preach to them Islam.   So by this, we know the Prophet (sawas) left us a Will with the Successors after him (sawas), the 12 Imams (as) and 12 Mahdis (as) and we know that he (sawas) left us two things in which we would
