Assalamualikum habibti
Well I guess I have said a lot on dawah in other threads but mostly about calling Non Muslims to Islam.
Well here let me explain on both.There are two types of dawah
- calling non Muslims to Islam
- Calling Muslims to the right path
I personally think both need
patience .
Before anyone indulge in dawah,a daee should prepare himself mentally.You must learn to have enough patience as without patience,there is no successful dawah.You will have to face many insults or disrespectful comments.If you can't deal with this,just ignore that person and move on before your anger reach the max point and syaitan dance and clap when you get angry.
If you are a beginner,I am very sure you will have to learn the hard way
.There are times you might regret certain things or you might have thought you should have done better.It doesn't matter.Experience is your teacher and you will learn a lot each day you do dawah in sha Allah.
Doing dawah to non Muslims might be less difficult than doing dawah to Muslims as all you need to tell them is about tauhid and The Oness of Allah The Exalted.You can't convert them and all you can do is convey Allah's message.Do not target them to say shahadah as they might say shahadah in no time but the next day they will apostate.Just plant the seed in their heart and let Allah decide when they are suppose to convert.
Doing dawah to Muslims is where you have to really becareful because these people can be either ignorant or arrogant.Becareful with those arrogant.
The key to do dawah to Muslims is
be a good example.
We cannot argue with them.You have to tecakle each of them individually.When it comes to family members,the job is more difficult as people might do not like younger people to advice them.It all depends on your dua and how patience you can be with them.
Small steps will be very helpful and indirect dawah is the best.You can't is ply grab a person and tell them A-Z about islam.It doens't work.You need to know how to deal with their psychology.Indirect dawah means give them the message without them realising that you are doing dawah.This message might make them think and we want them to think.
I do not like to repeat myself.Perhaps you may read other posts of mine if you havn't yet.
Allah knows The Best
Good luck and Assalamualikum
