Muslim Qur'anic scholars have different opinions about the significance of verse 94 of Surah Al-Hijr: "Fasda'a ma ta'amr" on the quality of the invitation to Islam. The question of this research is whether, according to this verse, the Prophet's invitation was public from the first day or was it secretly at first and then made public? Some contemporary Qur'anic scholars consider the Prophet's public invitation to be from the first day of the Prophethood. This group relies on some evidence to strengthen their view and deny the secret invitation of the Prophet. They believe that the Prophet (s) was cautious in forming Islamic gatherings and carried out warnings and invitations to religion secretly and non-openly in order to protect the lives of the Companions, and that secret invitation did not mean that the invitation was hidden from the first day and then it was revealed, but the secret invitation was based on the interests of the believers and the preservation of their lives, which was rational precautionary. The present study, using a descriptive-analytical method, while criticizing and examining these views, presents a correct interpretation of this verse.
