I recently moved into a new building and have ran into a few missionaries that I guess rent a unit in the same building.
Now, of course they try to sweet talk and discuss their religious views.
I hate them and kind of 'like' them in a sense. I hate them because sometimes they are a bit too intrusive and I sort of like them because they are trying to spread what they believe to be God's words, etc. when the most of us don't even do it, even though it is our responsiblity (ie dawah) In fact, during the time of the prophet even, peace be upon him, there were muslim 'missionaries' that would invite people to the deen in order to spread Islam, and it did work Alhamdulilah and it expanded from there.
IN ANY CASE, I am not intimidated by them Alhamdulilah but I am wondering if any of you have any tips or ideas for me, regarding how to deal with them? I've run into them only twice so far but I have the feeling they will keep trying even though I have expressed my firm beliefs to them. Do you think its a good idea to give dawah myself to them or would it not be for the 'the best' of intentions. (ie theyre trying to convert me, so ill try to convert them) or would it be pointless since both I and them are stuck on our own beliefs? Any good points or questions I should raise to them?
Further, as I am female and they are males, does anyone know of the correct islamic ruling regarding whether or not it is permissible for me to give dawah to men, considering it isnt just like a one time thing where i can direct them to a male, but rather more like a whenever you see them, itll be a discussion for a few minutes?
JazakAllaahukhairan!
