Question

Some of the books I have are written by Ahmed Deedad (Comparative study between Bible and Quran), and other book which is written by multiple authors, this book (Illustrated Guide to Understanding Islam) published in Saudi Arabia for Dawah purpose. Is it ok to pass these books to them? JazakAllah Khair

Answer

The books of Ahmad Deedat are reliable. They may be given to non-Muslims for Da'wah to Islam.

We do not know the book, 'Illustrated Guide to Understanding Islam'. We also advise the book, 'What Islam Is', By Moulana Manzoor Nu'maani.
