How to Convince Non-Muslims to Study Islam:

**Riana17** · 06-04-2011

Salam Alaikkum Dear Brothers & Sisters,

Bismillah Ar-Rahman Ar-Raheem

I know that Muslims are required to be tolerant of other revealed religions since the Qur'an clearly says: "Let there be no compulsion in religion". And it is more clear to me that, no matter what I do I can’t make anyone follow my religion. It’s all in the Will of Allah.

I cannot be thankful enough for Guiding me to the Right Path, and as a result I feel very responsible to share others about what Islam is all about.
As a new Muslim revert, I am very eager to share the Truth about my new found religion in a very respective manner.

On the other hand, I know Religion is the Most sensitive topic & I do not like to offend anyone, so I wish to circulate an email anonymously to people known to me titled “Why Should all Human Being Study Islam” (perhaps you have a better & much convincing title)

I am not a good writer, so I am here to seek your help brothers and sisters esp those who were ex-Christians (Christians are my current target).

I would like to cover the Top Reasons like:
Why Jesus is not God, the importance of prayer, intention, science in Islam, Who is Allah, Prophet Mohamed in the Bible & Torah and in the end challenge the readers to find any contractions in Islam...
Part II
And correct the misconceptions about: Jihad, Hijab, terrorism etc

I would like them to consider learning what Islam is all about, before death comes to them inshallah (I am praying alot that all the human beings will have chance to discover Islam, I wish deep in my heart

)

I would like to limit the article to 1 page A4 size if possible.

Aside from people known to me, I will also send to around 4000 of Business people in our records (I have their emails).

I feel if each Muslim educate atleast one Non Muslim about Islam, the Misconception and common stereotypes applied to Muslims will definitely improve (inshallah). We are currently billions by the way.

My intention here is to take advantage of:
My brothers and sisters gift of writing (pls contribute and I will combine them)
and the availability of internet worldwide (I did it before but seems my email writing was not good

)

I do not like to sound that we are the Truth but to inform them that Yes "Islam is worth knowing"

Alhamdollelah Rabil Alameen, All praise is due to Allah.

you will need to respond to different ppl differently. With some ppl you don't have to do anything. just by knowing you they might get interested in Islam and may start learning more about it by themselves. that would depend on whether you portray a correct picture of islam or not. if you're an ideal muslim, then such ppl might get impressed by your character and will want to know what makes you that way. on the other hand, if you're somthing like a lying skunk then they'll want to run as far away as possible from you and anything related to you, including the religion. so it's very improtant to portray the religion correctly.
with other ppl, you may have to be patient and will have to wait for the right time to talk about a religious topic. of course you'll have to lookk for chances to talk about it. i remember that once when there was a movie on Jesus (I don't remember what its name is) eveyrone was talking about it on a non-muslim forum and i used that as a way to talk about islam and the islamic belief about Jesus.

with other ppl you may get the chance more easily to talk about religion because they are the sort of ppl who are open to talking about relgion and won't get aggressive at the topic.

i hope that helps.

salam May Allah reward you for this input, of course sis i will not put myself in misleading position. I didnt enter islam blindly (i go to school & still continuing my studies) and so i didnt want people to know wrongly about Islam, if my intention is to give them wrong information, I wont waste my time. If my intention is to mislead them, i am not in need of service, media is more than enough for many.
If my intention is give bad image about islam, i dont think i am here and wasting my time

Allah knows best

My idea about this post is to give them the basic knowledge about Islam and that's it. I will not receive incoming emails for I cannot entertain them (that will be mentioned also, but I will offer reliable & good sites like IB for more clarifications).
