How can we inspire people to long for the Messenger of Allah?
We can do this by mentioning his virtues, qualities and his life and by embodying his character and his dealings and by deepening our love, longing and veneration for him.

I have a wird that I recite regularly in secret. When I go out for dawah I cannot conceal it. Should I read it or leave it?
You should not leave actions out of a desire to conceal them. In this situation, read what you are able to do, but focus on that which is most beneficial to the dawah. Then you can make up anything you missed later on in secret.

If you feel that the members of the organisation that you are involved with no longer call to Allah but rather call to the organisation, is it better to leave that organisation?
If you can continue truly calling to Allah within the organisation and you are able to attain some correct objectives then remain with it. If, however, you are being used as a tool by the organisation and you cannot truly call to Allah then it is better to look for another organisation.
