Fariq Naik – Before Presenting Islam to a non Muslim, Elicit the Misconceptions They Have about Islam

By the way, this methodologies of doing Dawa some are less

effective, or those are more effective, but in the most common

methodologies used by many Muslims, when they are doing Dawa

to the non Muslims is that they speak 100 good points about Islam.

Even if the non Muslim, he agrees with all the 100 good points that

have been spoken, yet, at the back of his mind, he will have a few

negative points. He will say, I do agree with what you have said. But

you are the same Muslim, who's a fundamentalist? Ah, you are the

same Muslim who's a terrorist. You are the people who subjugate the

woman by keeping them behind the wheel. You are the people who

spread your religion at the point of the sword. These few negative

points at the back of his mind will prevent him from accepting

the beauty of Islam. That's the reason when I meet a non Muslim

what I prefer, I asked him upfront, what do you feel is wrong

with Islam? With the limited knowledge whether right or wrong?

What do you feel is wrong with Islam, and I make him comfortable?

And after he's made comfortable, he poses three or four questions

and make him comfortable that he can attack Islam. He can criticize

Islam, he can pose any question regarding Islam, and after he is

made comfortable, he poses three or four questions
