Our Dawah is that the Muslims must realize their responsibilities as such. What are these responsibilities?. They are not merely to follow the Muslim rules and rites with regard to marriage, divorce and inheritance. The most important and cardinal demand Islam makes from its followers is that they should stand by the truth----the truth they have professed; the very purpose to make them a specific people, according to Quran is to bear witness to the truth(The Quran).
In fact, all the Prophets were raised for this purpose, and after the death of every Prophet his people were required to discharge the same duty to continue his mission. Now it is the bounden duty of the Muslims being the followers of last of the Prophet (PBUH), to preach and practice,the way the Prophet (PBUH) himself performed it. Jamaat-e-Islami has been setup to discharge this very duty; individuals, no doubt, are engaged in the propagation of the good and reformation in a limited circle. Jamaat-e-Islami wants to extend this work to the whole spectrum of life collectively. And wants that Ummah should perform this duty of standing by truth which has been so exhorted by the last of the Prophets himself. In fact, verbally and practically duty of standing by truth can only be carried out, when a state based, on these principles, is established which by Islamizing the whole life, administers, justice, introduces good governance, reformation, brings peace ensuring the welfare of its people
Apart from this, through pious character of its rulers, noble politics, correct foreign policy, war for a noble cause, and through faithful compromise, sets an example that the Deen (Islam) which in its very basis is guarantor of human welfare and its practice is key to the good of whole human race. It is this divine government the Jamaat-e-Islami pleads and such a government can bear witness through its performance to the fact that Allah has pleased to prescribe Islam as a way of life for all mankind which was handed down to us by prophet of Islam on the occasion of his last sermon. He asked the audience, “ Have I conveyed the message of truth to you?” Reply came, “yes” then he said, “O Allah”, bear witness to this”.
That is what they could reach of knowledge. Verily, your Lord it is He Who knows best him who goes astray from His Path, and He knows best him who receives guidance. (30) And to Allâh belongs all that is in the heavens and all that is in the earth, that He may requite those who do evil with that which they have done (i.e. punish them in Hell), and reward those who do good, with what is best (i.e. Paradise). (31)

Saying of Prophet Muhammad (SAW)
Narrated 'Umar bin Al-Khattab:
I heard Allah's Apostle saying, "The reward of deeds depends upon the intentions and every person will get the reward according to what he has intended. So whoever emigrated for worldly benefits or for a woman to marry, his emigration was for what he emigrated for."
