Da'wah to non-Muslims
Question
I don't know everything about Islam but it is my duty to forward the little knowledge about Islam that I have. So I want to ask how to give dawah to a non Muslim. Should we start with inviting them to Islam or start a conversation and invite them later on?
Answer
I suggest that you first join the tableegh jamaat. This will give you an understanding of what dawat is all about. Thereafter, you can take the dawat to a second level.
And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.

Where scholars differ, it’s safer to take the more cautious view.
