Message: <blockquote data-quote="saharaz" data-source="post: 2980135" data-attributes="member: 99166">Da’wah is a duty of every MUSLIMS Da’wah is a duty of every single MUSLIMSMost Muslims know that Islam is a universal religion, meant for all mankind.Allah (swt) is the Lord of the entire Universe, and Muslims have been entrustedwith the duty of conveying His message to all mankind. Alas, most Muslimstoday have become callous towards this duty! While accepting Islam as the bestway of life for ourselves, most of us are unwilling to share this knowledge withthose to whom the message has not yet been conveyed.The Arabic word Da’wah means a call or an invitation. In Islamic context, itmeans to strive for the propagation of Islam.The Glorious Qur’an says:“Ah! Who is more unjust than those who conceal the testimony theyhave from Allah? But Allah is not unmindful of what ye do!”[Al-Qur’an 2:140]In order to convey the message of Islam, dialogue and debate becomeinevitable. The Glorious Qur’an says:“Invite (all) to the way of thy Lord, with wisdom and beautifulpreaching, and argue with them in ways that are best and mostgracious!”[Al-Qur’an 16:125]In conveying the message of Islam to a non-Muslim, it is usually not sufficient to highlight only the positive nature of Islam. Most non-Muslims are not convinced about the truth of Islam because there are a few questions about Islam at the back of their minds that remain unanswered.They may agree with your contentions about the positive nature of Islam. But,in the same breath, they will say - “Ah! But you are the same Muslims who marry more than one woman. You are the same people who subjugate women by keeping them behind the veil. You are fundamentalists, etc.”I personally prefer asking the non-Muslims upfront, with their limitedknowledge, whether right or wrong, from whichever source it may be, what they feel is wrong in Islam. I encourage them to be very frank and open and convince them that I can take criticism about Islam.</blockquote>
