From what i've heard Tableeghi jamaat were originally for non-muslims, but then the scholars decidedmuslims themselves were far away from the deen and needed reminding of why they're here.But alhumdulillah i've heard of jamaats who've gone to other cities, and when they go house to house or on the way to a shop, non-muslims do stop and ask questions and listen to what they say, and lots revert alhumdulillah
Judging by the overwhelmingly negative perception of Jehovah's Witnesses who use this method, I think that would be an extremely bad move for Muslim/non-Muslim relations.
Note: I did not say Jehovah's Witnesses were bad, or anything like that. I'm saying that the average ordinary guy sees the stereotypical door-to-door Jehovah's Witness as an annoyance.
I agree with Muezzin though, wouldn't be too good, when tableegh jamaat go house to house even muslims themselves get offended, so how would non-muslims act
but i think having stalls in town would be a good idea, having books avaialable free of purchase like Women Rights, Jesus PBUH in islam, Science in Quran, "Brief Illustrated Guide to islam" etc. that kind of stuff, that way you're not imposing yourself on anyone, and only people wishing to know about islam would approach the stall, so again nobody, who doesn't want to know, will be disturbed
In town here in Cardiff i've seen Christians come up with microphones shouting to people walking by how going church once a week isn't enough, u need Jesus the saviour in our heart etc, and people walking by were just laughing and not paying any intention to what was being said, so i don't think that is quite a good idea as its invading peoples privacy, and this type of da'wah would not be suited in this time and situation
