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.
jazakAllah khair
1. so be polite, smile

Ameen
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.

my ideas:
1. communicate positivelykay:
2. All holy books have one common message ---God is One.
We must bring this most imp point to their notice.
more to come Insha Allah later
Sh. Khalid Yassin's site www.challengeyoursoul.com this is really interesting site with lots of great lectures on da3wa for both Muslims and non-Muslims
assalamu alaikum,
I was blessed by Allah to experience a few ppl coming to Islam, masha Allah.
One young woman i met was very sick, and was staying in a "natural medicine" type of hospital that i too was visiting with my then sick husband (may Allah have mercy on his soul..ameen). This particular hospital was in Indonesia.
Anyhow, i would see this woman everyday (not knowing if she spoke any english) i would smile to her, then wave, then i opened up a small converstaion with her. Before i knew it, we were becoming so close.
I found out that she was a catholic. I also found out she had bowel cancer, and it was spreading through her weak and fragile body. I loved this woman , as she has such beautiful manners, and was so kind. I didnt want her suffering in this life, and the hereafter as well. I would cry in my dua and ask Allah to help me to talk to her, and tell her exactly what i should say.
Alhamdulillah, i finally had the chance to sit down with her and have a one on one discussion about Islam. Firstly i told her of the similarities of both our religions. I also said to her that we too love jesus, but we do not worship him, we simply obey him, and worship the One true Creator. I would read her verses of the quran, and i even spoke to her of the bible. I said that i used to be a christian, and now im a muslim (and i told her of my struggle to find the truth). I also said to her that this life is short,it's nothing...that Paradise is much more beautiful, rewarding, everlasting...
I was so sincere, even more so, because by this stage i loved her...she became my close friend. When i said everything i wanted to say, i simply asked her what she then believed...what i heard next was the most delightful thing that sent shivers down my spine. She too believed. I witnessed her shahada...Allahu Akbar.
A few days later, she was to leave the hospital because she wasnt getting any better. She had lost her eye sight, and was losing weight, and couldnt walk. Shortly after this i left Indonesia to come back home.
When i came back home, i rang my dear friend, who was now also a sister in Islam. I was told that she had died...Inna lillahi wa inna ilali raajioon.
I must admit, i cried tears of happiness....as she came so close to the hell fire, yet Allah (the Most Merciful) guided her in her last days, so that she would be from the people of paradise, insha Allah.
Long story, yes, but this was my way with her, and i felt it was suitable...still everyday is a learning experience.Alhamdulillah.
^^^sis...that is a lovely story
how is your husband? i hope you don't mind me asking
Salaam/peace to all;

while talking to Hindus , we can tell them about Prophet Muhammad (p) in Hindu Scriptures .
pl.visit the link to read the full article.
By Dr. Jamal Badawi
Chairman, Islamic Information Foundation - Canada
The Muslim testimony of faith is mentioned in the Upanishads.
........As a result of the clarity and explicitness of that prophecy, some Hindus actually enter into Islam, which has led some Hindu scholars to claim that perhaps this prophecy was written by a Hindu pundit who converted to Islam.
But this is refuted because this prophecy was referred to in some of the ancient Hindu books that predate the advent of Islam or Muslims to India (Vidyarthi).
