It mos of da time dependz on da person init.. so lyk if u waz 2 go up2 a non muslim - u wud proli call dem 2 tawheed (the Oneness of Allaah) first.. buh da problem iz dat bare muslimz dno dat eitha.. da fing wit da muslimz iz dat most mite na be sincere in it at da beginin.. so u gota ask yoself - wa interested u abt islam first?
Wa will interest da person 2? wa type of person am i talkin 2? wil dey accept wa i say or wil dey jus igno wa i say? talk 2 dem equal 2 da level of faith dat dey got..
eg. if yo talkin 2 a person who want's 2 reli learn abt da deen, den u jus ask dem - dyu feel dat islam is da truth? and dey mite be confused and actuali want 2 knw why islam is da truth. So da bes way 2 show dem dat islam is da truth is 2 show dem tawheed [Oneness of Allaah] (the main thing abt islam):
1) There is one Allaah (God) - He created us so we would worship Him, and no-one else. Not jesus, or buddha, or some stone idol, or some government etc. But to worship and obey Him Almighty Alone.
2) He sends messengers to people to tell them to worship Him, and these messengers tell us how He wants us to worship Him. The people who accept these messengers, - Allaah will reward them wit jannah, buh those who disbelieve:
There is no compulsion in religion (Qur'an 2:256) But in the end - we will be brought back to Allaah, and Allaah will judge us on wa we did.. cuz obviously we created for a purpose, not just 2 earn all that wealth and die.
3) Mention the 99names of Allaah with translations, and ask the person if they feel confused about if any of them are true or not. Cuz naturally - it's in our fitrah to believe that Allaah is the Greatest, Most Forgiving, The King etc.
4) the people who believe and did good, they will be rewarded for submitting to Allaah, and those who disbelieved will be punished.
This is when u should try to show them the punishment of hellfire, and the rewards of jannah/paradise.
I keep mentioning this alot, but Aa'isha (may Allaah Almighty be pleased with her) said that if Allaah had revealed the verses of ordering people to give up their alcohol etc. at the beginning, no-one would listen. But instead, Allaah revealed the verses paradise and hell, and judgement day to attract the people to islam - this mainly happened in the Makkan Period.
Only in the Medinan Period did the verses abt banning of alcohol, hijaab etc. come down.
Therefore, explain the reality of jannah and hell, and judgement day at the beginning. And after that, help them gradually to wear the hijaab fulltime etc. Because you know that what influenced you the most in practising was that you realised the reality of jannah/paradise and hell, whereas the others may not have the same level of faith. So help them gain that firmer faith, and then after that - they will feel desperate to wear it, because they will realise that they are disobeying Allaah Almighty.
I'll carry this on later insha'Allaah.. but i feel that this is the most important part in calling people to islam.
Allaah Almighty knows best.
