7 Tips for Muslim Youth in Dawah

 

Tip #1 : Make Your Intention Sincere.

All work we do should ideally be for the sake of Allah. That includes the task of bringing someone closer to Allah. That of course means this should not be connected to arrogance.

Tip # 2 : Practice What You Preach

Not practicing what you preach is wrong and you will lose the confi dence of anyone, young or old, once they figure you out. Don't do it.

Tip # 3 : Use The Quran & Seerah (biography of the Prophet peace be upon him) As Dawa Guides

Read and understand those chapters of the Quran which talk about how the Prophets presented the message of Islam to their people. Read the Seerah (for some good Seerah books)to see especially how the Prophet Muhammad brought Islam to so many different people

Tip # 4 : Talk To People As If You Really Dont Know Them

Don't assume you know someone just by looking at them.By looking their cloth and others.Maybe he was never really taught Islam deeply.

Tip # 5 : Smile

Did you know the Prophet was big on smiling? But many "practicing" Muslims seem to have "their faces on upside down" as one speaker once said-frowning and serious.

Tip # 6 : Get Them Involved In Volunteer Work With You

If you are already involved in the community, get your friend to help out. Ask them to make a flyer for one of your youth group's events or brainstorm for ideas about activities to hold this school year. This involvement makes them feel part of the Muslim community and

deepens your friendship

Tip # 7 : Emphasize Praying 5 Times A Day Before Any Other
Aspect Of Islam

Don't emphasize any other aspect of Islam until your friend starts making a real effort to pray five times a day
