I want to ask something..... related to dawah........
whats the best to say, when we are giving a leaflet, or a book (related to islam) to a non-muslim..as well to the muslims. I hope somebody gets what i am trying to ask?
Like....what should be said that it effects them more in a positive way?

- Qatada - · **Re: Dawah Tips/Ideas. -** 12-03-2006

You can even say a slogan like "What's the purpose of life? To obey the Creator." Then hand it over, thats what Kamal el Makki (Lectures for Dawah [Inviting] to Islaam.)said.

When you hand the leaflet or book, say 'thankyou for your time' just to make the person feel appreciated.

Is that what you meant?

How Does a Learned Person Call to Allah?

Imam Ibn ul Qayyim al Jawziyyah

Excerpted from the translator's footnotes to "An Explanation of Riyadh al-Saliheen"
by Shaykh Muhammad ibn Salih al-Uthaymeen
Translated from al-Fawa'id by Sajad ibn `Abdur Rahman, © 1998 Sajad Rana

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

An advice on how to call to Allah the people immersed in the Dunya Ibn ul Qayyim al Jawziyyah

The learned individual does not command the people to abandon the Dunya, for they are incapable of abandoning it. Rather he instructs them to abandon wrongdoing with their [continue] residence in the Dunya. For the abandonment of the Dunya is supererogatory, but the abandonment of wrongdoing is obligatory. Accordingly, how can an [individual] be commanded to a supererogatory action, when he has [neglected] to establish an obligatory one?!

If the abandonment of wrongdoing becomes difficult for them to [endure], endeavour to make them love Allah by [means] of mentioning His Signs, His Blessings, His Munificence, His Perfect Attributes, and Exalted Descriptions. For indeed the heart is naturally inclined towards His love.

If it is attached towards His love, the abandonment of wrongdoing and independence from it, in addition to the persistence upon it shall become easy [to obtain]. Verily, Yahya ibn Mu`adh mentioned,

Questing for an intelligent [person] for [the affairs of] the Dunya,

Is superior to the abandonment of an ignorant [person] for it.

A judicious man invites people towards Allah, thus the [act] of responding becomes easy for them. An ascetic invites them towards Allah by the abandonment of the Dunya, thus the [act] of responding becomes difficult for them.

I recommend everyone listens to a talk by Kamel el Makki titled "How to get a shahadah in 10 minutes." It should be available online somewhere, I'll try to find it inshaa'Allah. Obviously it doesn't garuntee that you'll get a shahadah after speaking to a non-Muslim for 10 minutes. However, it gives you tips on how to approach them and what to say when you have such little time.

IbnAbdulHakim · **Re: Dawah Tips/Ideas. -** 12-06-2006

jazakAllah khair

1. so be polite, smile

**Al Habeshi** · **Re: Dawah Tips/Ideas. -** 12-06-2006

I wrote an article as a Christian about Evangelising, the basic principles are the same, in the article I wrote that it would be useless to spend time preaching to a Muslim about the existance of God, but rather preaching the Trinity was more important since this is a difference. Same is applicable to Muslim, it is useless for a Muslim to spend hours convicing a Christian that there is a God.

The fundamental behind the above observation is that the person giving da'wah should analyse their subject. I emphesised this in the other article too, for example if there is a doctor and he is treating a patient, the doctor does not give the patient every pill and medication, no, the doctor would observe and study the patient and then give the appropiate medication needed. Kamal Al Mekki states something similar, in my own wording,

"Sometimes to save time you are forward, 'Hi are you Muslim?' and if they reply like 'No' and then you say 'Why not!' and the person then will give you an answer, and from this answer you know the problems he has and where to focous"
So it is clear, that once you know the person's difference or the persons problems and obsticles then you apply the correct medicine.

I think this is something Muslims need to take into consideration, some Muslims are high off of Ahmed Deedat debates and Zakir Naik debates and end up using those methods on every person, where as those methods by the two Shaykhs are appliable only to some people, and other methods to others, this is why it is important to study and observe what type of person you are talking to. I have seen Muslims go up to Jehova Witnesses saying "Why do you believe Jesus is God, Jesus is not God" not realising that Jehova Witnesses do not believe that. This would only make the Muslim look foolish but also it would indirectly show the Jehova's Witness that 'eh, this guy aint got nothing important to say he dont even know what he's talking about' so then why would they listen to someone telling them Islam is right?

That should be enough for now

Eesa.
