Prophet Muhammad P.B.U.H. said, “Convey on my behalf, even one verse.” Unlike what many Muslims think, preaching Islam is not about converting others to Islam, making presentations about Islam, giving lectures in mosques, having the prophetic traditions hanged on billboards in non-Muslim countries, etc. Those acts neither improve people’s understanding of Islam, nor even urge them… Continue reading The Methodology of Preaching Islam
