Abstract

This research addresses the concept of strength in the context of calling to Allah by analyzing the Prophet Muhammad’s (peace be upon him) hadith: “The strong believer is better and more beloved to Allah than the weak believer.” The study focuses on the dimensions of strength required in a da’i (caller to Islam), which include spiritual, physical, intellectual, and social strength. It also highlights the importance of balancing faith and action to achieve an effective da’wah role.
The research concludes that strength is an essential requirement for the da’i to face the diverse challenges of da’wah. It emphasizes that weakness is not a flaw but rather an incentive for self-improvement. Furthermore, the study recommends the need to prepare and train da’is both spiritually and practically, promote a culture of balance between reliance on Allah and taking practical means, and integrate the concept of holistic strength into educational and da’wah curricula.
This Prophetic hadith reflects a comprehensive vision for building the personality of a believer and a da’i on solid foundations, combining deep faith and impactful action, thereby contributing to the service of religion and society. Strengthen moral responsibility in Islamic societies
