The Dawah responsibility depends upon one’s relative position in the society i.e. whether one is a scholar or a common Muslim etc.. The sphere of preaching is different for each one of them:

Allah has made enough arrangement for itmam-e-hujjah to establish on the whole world. Firstly, it is through itmam-e-hujjah of the last Prophet (sws).

Secondly, the responsibility of Shahdah has been given originally to Bani-Ismael, who are responsible to establish this shahdah of Prophet’s itmam-e-hujjah on the rest of the world, which they managed to do so in the early years in accordance with the will and directives of Prophet Muhammad (Sws). Even today, they are responsible to spread the message of Islam i.e. Quran to the rest of the world till the day of judgement.

In addition to that, Bani-Israel have been kept by Almighty as living proof of Allah’s result of itmam-e-hujjah on them, and they will stay subservient to followers of Prophet Jesus (sws) till the day of judgement.

Thirdly, the scholars of Islam. Their first responsibility is toward their own nation and if they discharge off that responsibility fully, then they can also do dawah to other non-muslim nations as well.

Fourthly, there are common muslims like us. Our first responsibility is our immediate circle and after that, if we get time and resources, we can choose to do dawah in other circles as well.
