salam brothers and sisters,

may allah (swt) pours his blessing on all of us. Today in my office a woman (not practicing muslim) was asking me why i donot celebrate bdays and i said her that i dnt feel happy as i am getting more closer to death so i dont celebrate and blah blah..... following our coversation i suddenyl started telling her about following islam and how important it is for us, but 10 mins later she got irritated and sed me i do agree with whtever u sayin but u dnt need to give me lecture on what i shud be doing or not ( if u wud have seen her face at that time hahahah and also mine lol)

no wonder giving dawah today is more challenging than it was even 40 years before, as the secular and the western ideologies and cultures are spreading like flood in the muslim countries mostly becos of the media for e.g indian tv series and hollywood movies.People are more confused and less interested in religious talks and discussions not surprpisingly people appraoching for dawah in a traditional way (for e.g. talking out punishments and rewards of the hereafter) are being ignored especially by the teenager (im struggling with it too and being ignored by many).

Therefore, just like anything else effective strategic approach and a high level of creativity is required to compete with all the baatil groups (athiest,secualrist and etc).

so my dear brothers and sisters what and how would you recommend for a beginner to start with a creative dawah. Please feel free to write whatver you think and do not underestimate yourself by thinking yours is a silly idea.

jazakallah khair (please do not be confused by my name which sounds like sister, im a brother lolzz)


i look forward for your suggestions

walykum salam

well first of all i would just recomend you to learn the techniques of
dawah and of course u yourself should know about islam...i can't simply give any tips now coz one tips doesn't suit everyone..you must tell me precisely about the person inorder to do dawah....

first of all..learn about islam and i guess u do hv knowledge about islam..but having knowldge of islam is not enough coz it all depends on how u put the fact to them..

here are some tips u can apply on everyone

1.get to know them
2.see their status of undertsanding of islam(they like or hate islam)
3.make them feel comfortable with u
4.gain their trust(coz theu might reveal their sins and u must be someone worth trusting)

do not lecture them with everything...go slow and it might take some days,weeks,months or even years...

be their friend and see what is their root problem and what is actually stopping them from converting..identify their problem and try to gv them some good solution...

prepare them to be a muslim..they might won't take shahadah with u,perhaps they want to do it in the mosque or with their friend.it doesnt matter coz the rewards still goes to u as well:)

just prepare them mentally and spiritually to face this new life.

after they convert,still keep in touch with them,arrange arabic classes,quran classes,salah classes...

no point of being a muslim if they don't pray and so on..since u helped to be a muslim,it is ur responsibility to help them..

just be there for them whenever they need u..at least for 6 months till they can settle with their new life..

i can go on writing but i hv to stop.if u need any materials,plz pm me ur email and will send to u inshaAllah.

I've found its more easy to convert someone who's never heard of the basics of Islam than trying to rectify someone who's already a born muslim but suck up in the western lifestyle.

Edit:... *not* that I've ever converted anyone myself, but when you talk to them, you get this idea.

Thanks alot sister and if i can manage to help them inshallah u will be rewarded too.

hahaha sister you are right because these born muslims think they know everything and dont wanna listen to you but a non muslim might find your topic interesting and at least listen to what you are saying.
