Summary/Abstract: Basic intention of this article is to indicate several irregularities present in the activity of individuals who are convinced that they are calling to correct Islamic teaching but do not realise that they are in fact averting people from the Truth. By quoting verses from the Holy Qur'an and statements of Allah's Messenger, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, we intended to prove that there are individuals who have insufficient knowledge regarding the proper Islamic teaching. The resulting consequences can be catastrophic for smaller and wider community. It is necessary for proper activity and engagement in the area of Islamic da'wah to have wide education and knowledge of this very specific field. Our Exalted Lord has 99 beautiful names (Al-Asmaul-Husna), amongst which are mostly names with meanings of mercy, forgiveness and compassion. Similar to this, Muhammed, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, used methods based on compassion and mercy in his da'wah. This represents one of the factors which led to success in his blessed mission. We pray and ask our Lord to enrich our souls with the qualities of the most successful teacher, to give us strength in our da'wah and to make our feet firm on the Right Path-Ameen.
