In The
Name Of Allah The Most Gracious The Most Merciful { Islam
}
How
To Invite Others To Islam?
1-Our noble Prophet
Mohammad -Salla 'Allahu Alaihi Wa Sallam,- said: "If Allah guides one person
through you to Islam, it is better for you, than having the greatest wealth".
2-He also said:
"Whoever calls (others) to guidance has the same reward as the rewards
of those who follow him, without decreasing anything from their rewards".
3-Therefore
be keen to invite to Islam those non-Muslims whom you know.
4-Start with
people who are closest to you, such as: your parents, wife, son, daughter,
brother, then relatives and friends.
5-Allah (Glory
be to Him) said to His messenger Mohammed - Salla 'Allahu alaihi wasallam-
{Al-Qur'an 26: 214}. "And admonish your nearest Kinsmen".
6-Make clear
to them the right religion, and make them interested in it!
7-Tell them
of the glad tidings of which Allah has promised, and the blessings and
favours that Allah shall endow upon them in this world and the next if
they follow Islam.
8-Warn them
of Allah 's wrath upon them if they desbelieve in the holy Quran which
He has revealed to be a guidance to humanity.
9-Or if they
disbelieve in Prophet Mohammed- Salla 'Allahu alaihi wasallam- whom He
has sent as a mercy to the worlds.
10-Invite them
with love and sincerity.
11-And you,
yourself, should be an example of good character.
12-Be quick
in doing good and in helping others.
13-If you do
so, you will be a propagator of Islam by your actions as well as your words.
14-Your friends
will be quick to accept what you invite them to, and then Allah will lead
them to guidance.
15-They will
come to know that what you say is the truth.
16-They will
consequently accept Islam and love this religion and love you too.
17-You must
know well the wise approach of inviting others to Islam and teaching them.
Thus you should speak what is suitable for every occasion.
18-One of the
wise sayings of Arabs is : "There is suitable speech for each situation".
19-Allah (Glory
be to Him) says in Al-Qur'an: "Invite (all) to the way of your Lord with
wisdom and beautiful preaching, and argue with them in ways that are best
and most gracious, for your Lord knows best who have strayed from His path
and who receive guidance." {Al-Qur'an 16:125}.
20-If you do
not know Arabic, it is strongly advisable for you to learn that language
so as to be able to understand Islam through its original sources.
21-If you do
so, you will be able to speak with confidence about Islam, because you
have direct knowledge of Allah's words, of the sayings of His messenger
Mohammad -Salla 'Allahu alaihi wasallam- and of the statements of Muslim
scholars.
