Likewise, we advise them to focus on spreading the correct ‘aqeedah and warning people against false beliefs. The caller should work hard to teach sound ‘aqeeda

The people of falsehood actively promote their misguided beliefs and corrupt ideas. They are patient in facing difficulties and even study and prepare for the sake of spreading their falsehood. So you, O caller to the truth, have even more right to be patient and determined. Be steadfast, work hard, and endure for the sake of this mission. Allāh will support and help you, for you are following the path of the Prophets, peace be upon them. ---- What books should be taught, and how should teaching be done? As for teaching—should the caller stick to a specific book or not? This depends on the condition of the people he is visiting. If you go to a village and find students of knowledge there, then it is better to teach them from recognised books of ‘aqeedah written on this subject. But if there are no students of knowledge and most of the people are ordinary Muslims, then it is better to summarise for them. Each day, you can present a short lesson on one topic of ’aqeedah and explain it clearly to them. We have tried this method and found it to have a good and beneficial effect, instead of strictly sticking to a specific book like Al-‘Aqeedah Al-Wasitiyyah, for example; which may require to explain the difficult words in the book and follow its exact order, but this may not be suitable for ordinary people. Instead, look at the topics that Shaykh Al-Islam mentioned in Al-‘Aqeedah Al-Wasitiyyah, summarise them, and present them in a simple way without strictly sticking to the structure of the original book. For example: On the first day, teach about belief in Allāh: * What does belief in Allāh entail? * What does belief in His Lordship entail? * What does belief in His right to be worshiped entail? * What does belief in His Names and Attributes entail? * What is required from us regarding these matters? In the next lesson, summarise belief in the angels. After that, belief in the messengers. Then belief in the revealed books. Then belief in the Last Day. Then belief in divine decree (qadar). After that, you can teach specific ‘aqeedah-related issues, such as: * Seeing Allāh in the Hereafter, along with the proofs from the Qur'ān, Sunnah, and statements of the Salaf, explained briefly. * The Ḥawḍ (the Prophet’s special basin on the Day of Judgment). * The Scale (Mīzān). * The punishment of the grave. And in this way, continue covering the main topics found in the books of ‘aqeedah. Likewise, in the area of Tawheed, [teach them about] * Allāh’s sole right to be worshiped. * It is forbidden to call upon anyone besides Allāh. * It is forbidden to sacrifice for anyone besides Allāh. * It is forbidden to make vows to anyone besides Allāh. * It is forbidden to seek refuge, help, or rescue from anyone besides Allāh in matters that only Allāh can do. * You should also explain topics like magic—its rulings and its harm. * Likewise, explain superstition (believing in bad omens)—its rulings and its dangers—and other similar subjects. In each gathering, give a short and clear lesson that people can benefit from. For ordinary people, this method is more beneficial than strictly teaching from one specific book. As for students of knowledge, it is better to teach them from structured books according to their level, so they gain a strong foundation and proper progression in studying ‘aqeedah and other Islamic sciences. The same approach applies to teaching tafsīr. In general lessons for the public, it is good to explain Juz ‘Amma, since it contains the short sūrahs that Muslims regularly recite in their daily prayers.
