ولقد رأيت شباباً مخلصين كانوا يدرسون في كليات جامعية في الطب، أو الهندسة، أو الزراعة، أو الأداب، أو غيرها من الكليات النظرية أو العلمية، وكانوا من الناجحين بل المتفوقين بها، فما لبثوا إلا أن أداروا ظهورهم لكلياتهم، وودعوها غير آسفين، بحجة التفرغ للدعوة والإرشاد والتبليغ، مع أن عملهم في تخصصاتهم هو من فروض الكفاية، التي تأثم الأُمة جميعها إذا فرطت فيها، ويستطيعون أن يجعلوا من عملهم عبادة وجهاداً إذا أُدِّي بإتقان، وصحَّت فيه النية، والتُزِمت حدود الله تعالي.

ولو ترك كل مسلم مهنته فمن ذا يقوم بمصالح المسلمين؟ ولقد بُعث الرسول صلى الله عليه وسلم وأصحابه يعملون في مهن شتِّى فلم يطلب من أحد منهم أن يدع مهنته ليتفرغ للدعوة، وبقى كل منهم في عمله وحرفته، سواء قبل الهجرة أم بعدها. فإذا دعا داعي الجهاد، واستُنْفِروا، نفروا خفافاً وثقالاً مجاهدين بأموالهم وأنفسهم في سبيل الله.

Translation

And I have seen sincere Muslim youth who studied at colleges of medicine, engineering, agriculture, or literature, or at other liberal arts and scientific colleges, and who were doing well and even very well, but then left to dedicate themselves to the work of dawah [calling people to Islam] and guiding others, even though their work in their specialties are of the foroodh al-kifayah [jobs that are obligatory on a certain percentage of every Muslim community according to Islamic law, for example every Muslim community should have enough physicians, engineers, etc.], jobs that if not done the entire community is harmed, even though they can make of their specialties an `ibadah (good deed) and jihad if done properly, with the right intent, and with regard to Allah’s laws.

And if every Muslim left his or her job today then what would happen to Muslim interests? The Prophet ﷺ was sent when his Companions worked at various occupations, and he never asked anyone of them to leave his job to dedicate himself to dawah.
