Da’aiy, (‘داعيا’ )

The Caller to the Religion of Allah-azwj

وَإِذْ قَالَ مُوسَىٰ لِقَوْمِهِ يَا قَوْمِ لِمَ تُؤْذُونَنِي وَقَدْ تَعْلَمُونَ أَنِّي رَسُولُ اللَّهِ إِلَيْكُمْ ۖ فَلَمَّا زَاغُوا أَزَاغَ اللَّهُ قُلُوبَهُمْ ۚ وَاللَّهُ لَا يَهْدِي الْقَوْمَ الْفَاسِقِينَ {5}

And when Musa said to his people: ‘O my people! Why are you hurting me, and you know I am a Rasool of Allah to you all? But when they deviated, Allah Deviated their hearts, and Allah does not Guide the transgressing people [61:5] 

وَإِذْ قَالَ عِيسَى ابْنُ مَرْيَمَ يَا بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ إِنِّي رَسُولُ اللَّهِ إِلَيْكُمْ مُصَدِّقًا لِمَا بَيْنَ يَدَيَّ مِنَ التَّوْرَاةِ وَمُبَشِّرًا بِرَسُولٍ يَأْتِي مِنْ بَعْدِي اسْمُهُ أَحْمَدُ ۖ فَلَمَّا جَاءَهُمْ بِالْبَيِّنَاتِ قَالُوا هَٰذَا سِحْرٌ مُبِينٌ {6}

And when Isa Ibn Maryam said: ‘O Children of Israel! I am a Rasool of Allah to you all, in ratification of what is before me from the Torah, and giving glad tidings of a Rasool to come after me, his name being Ahmad’. But when he came with them with clear proofs, they said, ‘This is clear sorcery!’ [61:6]

حدثنا محمد بن علي ماجيلويه رضى الله عنه قال: حدثنا عمي محمد بن أبى القاسم عن احمد بن ابى عبد الله، عن ابى الحسن علي بن الحسين البرقى، عن عبد الله بن جبلة، عن معاوية بن عمار، عن الحسن بن عبد الله بن آبائه عن جده الحسن بن علي بن أبى طالب ” ع ” قال: جاء نفر من اليهود إلى رسول الله صلى الله عليه وآله فسأله اعلمهم فيما سأله فقال لاي شئ سميت محمد وأحمد وابا القاسم وبشيرا ونذيرا وداعيا؟

Muhammad Bin Ali Majaylawiya narrated to us, from an uncle of Muhammad Bin Abu Al Qasim, from Ahmad Bin Abu Abdullah, from Abu Al Hassan Ali Bin Al Husayn Al Barqy, from Abdullah Bin Jabala, from Muawiya, from Amaar, from Al Hassan Bin Abdullah, from his forefathers,

(It has been narrated) from his grandfather-asws Al-Hassan-asws Bin Ali-asws Bin Abu Talib-asws having said: ‘There came a number of Jews to Rasool-Allah-saww. So they asked him-saww, and he-saww let them know with regards to what they had asked him-saww. So (one of them) asked, ‘For which thing (reason) have you-saww been named as ‘Muhammad’, and ‘Ahmad’, and ‘Abu Al-Qasim’, and ‘Bashir’, and ‘Nazir’, and ‘داعيا’ ‘Da’aiy’?’

فقال النبي صلى الله عليه وآله أما محمد فإنى محمود في الارض وأما احمد فإنى محمود في السماء وأما أبو القاسم فإن الله عزوجل يقسم يوم القيامة قسمة النار فمن كفربي من الاولين والآخرين ففى النار ويقسم قسمة الجنة فمن آمن بى واقر بنبوتي ففي الجنة وأما الداعي فإنى أدعوا الناس إلى دين ربى عزوجل وأما النذير فإنى انذر بالنار من عصاني وأما البشير فإنى ابشر بالجنة من أطاعني

‘So, the Prophet-saww said: ‘As for ‘Muhammad’, so I-saww am the praised one in the earth; and as for ‘Ahmad’, so I-saww am the praised one in the sky; and as for ‘Abu Al-Qasim’, so Allah-azwj Mighty and Majestic would Divide the Fire on the Day of Judgement, so the one who rejected me-saww, from the former ones and the later ones, so he would be in the Fire. And He-azwj would Divide a division of the Paradise, so the one who believed in me-saww, and accepted with my-saww Prophet-hood, so he would be in the Paradise. And as for ‘Al-Da’aiy’, so I-saww call the people to the Religion of my-saww Lord-azwj Mighty and Majestic. And as for ‘Al-Nazir’, so I-saww warn of the Fire to the one who disobeys me-saww. And as for ‘Al-Basheer’, so I-saww give the good news of the Paradise to the one who obeys me-saww’.[1]
