The Private Dawah of the Prophet Sasam

The Prophet sasam's dawah was known but he didn't make it public. Why for three years was the dawah private? Many reasons, first and foremost because this private dawah did not result in any confrontation between the Muslims and the Quraysh. This is what gave them the spiritual boost they needed to be prepared for what was happening later on. But you don't have to go public if there is a fear of persecution. In many lands if you proclaim you are something other than the official faith you will be persecuted. Our religion does not demand that we do this. Stay private then, keep a low key. If somebody comes, now you cannot hide
