The Fundamentals of Da`wah

By Dawood Adib.

Introduction

<<Say: ‘This is my way: I invite to Allaah on/with clear knowledge – I and whomever follows me (does this). Glorified is Allaah, and I am not of the polytheists.”>>(12:108), Continue Reading »

Question: I would like you to give me your opinion about the issues and challenges in Islamic missionary work today.

Answer: Your question is very general and I’m not sure exactly what you’re looking for. First of all, we Muslims do not usually use the words “missionary” or “missionary work” to refer to a da`i andda`wah. We prefer to keep our own Islamic terms, which come from the verb meaning to call or invite. Continue Reading »

Question: From your own experience of talking about Islam all over the world, can you give some hints and good ideas about how to makeda`wah in a way that suits the people of the West who are not Muslim?

Answer: Thank you for this question, which is asked by so many Muslims. It is a wonderful sign that so many Muslims love Islam so much that they want to tell others about it. So many, though, are full of good intentions, but are not quite sure just where to begin. Continue Reading »

Dr. Muhammad Ali Al-Hashimi

The da’ee (caller) is intelligent and eloquent in his preaching, wise in the way he calls people to the truth, and gentle in the way he teaches them the rules of Islam. In all of this, he is following the words of Allah (subhanahu wa ta`ala):

PROVING THE EXISTENCE OF ALLAH (SWT) TO AN ATHEIST

by Dr. Zakir Naik

CONGRATULATING AN ATHEIST

Normally, when I meet an atheist, the first thing I like to do is to congratulate him and say, ” My special congratulations to you”, because most of the people who believe in God are doing blind belief – he is a Christian, because his father is a Christian; he is a Hindu, because his father is a Hindu; the majority of the people in the world are blindly following the religion of their fathers. An atheist, on the other hand, even though e may belong to a religious family, uses his intellect to deny the existence of God; what ever concept or qualities of God he may have learnt in his religion may not seem to be logical to him.

More Than Eighty Ways To Make Daw’ah!

Written by Dr. Bilal Philips

All praise is due to Allaah who expressed the highest praise for the “caller” to his religion saying: “And who is better in speech than one who calls to Allaah and works righteousness and says: ‘Surely I am of the Muslims.’ ”(41: 33). And may Allaah’s peace and blessings be on Prophet Muhammad, the role model, who said: “Whoever calls to guidance will have a reward similar to that of one who follows it.” Continue Reading »
