This term, which literally means ‘calling’ or ‘inviting’, denotes actions and words directed towards helping others to have faith - to rediscover the believer who lies deep within every human soul as part of its firth, or primordial nature.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAt the same time, within human souls - including those of people who believe in God and in Divine Revelation - there is also a nafs, or ego, which is prone to doubts and hesitation. This ego or self, too, needs to be ‘called’, or ‘invited’, back to full commitment through understanding, acknowledgement, and repentance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eQuestions of the type ‘Who created God’ are characteristic, as the Prophet s.a.w pointed out, of the Last Days, times when through the influence of Satanic beliefs and cultural norms the very notion of a God of any kind has been made to appear ridiculous in the eyes of many. Particularly prone to this problem are people of the ‘intellectual’ type, to whom it appears only natural and logical to question everything that human beings have traditionally held most dear.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn Dialogue with an Atheist, Dr Mostafa Mahmoud uses a series of imaginary conversations to guide the believer in their task of helping those seemingly deprived of faith in God, His Message, and His Messenger.
