Tension of a da'i in dawah

“Maulana, does a da'i (caller to Islam) also experience tension in giving dawah? Or can a da'i remain worried about dawah? Please explain. The tension of a da'i is positive tension; it is not really tension in the true sense. It is goodwill, meaning the da'i's tension is in the sense of well-wishing.”Asked by اسرار عمری, چنئی

His answer, in his own words

maulana yeh sawal aaya hai maulana asrar umri sahib ka chennai se. unhon ne likha hai ke maulana ek daai ko bhi dawah ki tension hoti hai. ya daai dawah ke liye pareshan reh sakta hai. is ke baray mein batayen. dekhiye daai ka jo tension hai woh positive tension hai. woh sahi maanon mein tension nahi hota hai. woh khairkhwahi hoti hai. yaani daai ka tension jo hai woh woh hota hai khairkhwahi ke maani mein. woh is maani mein nahi hota woh negative tension nahi hota.

dekhiye farq kya hai. ek ek zaati taur par aap kuch lose karen is ka naam hai tension. zaati taur par aap ko nuqsan hua is nuqsan ko le kar ke aap pareshan hue woh hai tension. lekin doosre shakhs koshish kar rahe hain aap ke woh sachai ko manen woh nahi maan raha hai. to is se jo aap ke andar jazbat aate hain woh to khairkhwahi ki wajah se hote hain. woh to wohi hai jo quran mein kaha hai bakhw anfusak. lilka bakhw anfusak. to woh hai positive tension. agar is ko tension kaha jaye to woh positive tension hoga.
