How do we invite others to Islam? 1- With conviction and clear insight & understanding the spirit of Islam:
“Say :“ This is my way I do invite to Allah with conviction and clear insight, I and whoever follows me.” Yusuf 12 :108. 2- We should learn how to use the Qur’an & Sunnah effectively:
The Messenger of Allah ( PBUH ) said : (1 left with you two things you will never be misguided as long as you hold to them : the Book of Allah & my tradition) narrated by Hakim after Abi Horaira. 3- We should explain the basic concepts of Islam as it relates to our life: Everything that we do in our daily life is an act of worship to Allah if our intention is good and our deeds are good:
(Allah does not look at your faces or possessions but He looks at your hearts and deeds ) narrated by Muslim after Abi Horaira. 4- We must correct misconceptions about Islam like Jihad: Fighting in Islam is only allowed for self defense & in the cause of Allah not for personal reasons : aggression is not permitted:
“And fight in the cause of Allah those who fight you, but do not transgress limits, for Allah loves not transgressors .“ AI-Baqara 2 :190 5- Muslims do not hate non-Muslims , they hate their unbelief: Every person is free to accept or reject faith: “Let him who will believe and let him who will reject faith” 18 : 29 Human life is sacred, Islam safeguards the liberties of non-Muslims: Do not kill the soul that Allah has made sacred except for a just cause AI-lsra’a 17 : 33 6- The roots of Fanatic movements: The main cause is ignorance of the tolerant & peaceful nature of Islam and misunderstanding the Qur’an and tradition of the Prophet (PBUH) |
