During our last halaqah session, we brainstormed ways that one can give da'wah.
- Posting islam relevant topics/links/videos/quotes etc. on social networking sites such as facebook, twitter and tumblr
- BE the example: doing good deeds-- people may follow your actions
- Promote muslim youth groups at university (invite others to be part of the group)
- Pray in a public space. Yes, you will probably attract attention but that's the point! People may ask questions and this is your chance to give them da'wah.
- Know your stuff. Always learn more about your religion so that you are able to answer questions that people may ask you.
- Don't force da'wah-- start off casually so you don't turn someone away.
- Make sure that what you are saying is coming from Quran and Sunnah. Give people logic as well-- it doesn't necessarily have to be from an islamic perspective)
- Use words like inshallah, alhumdulillah as a regular part of your vocabulary (even with non-muslims). Someone is bound to ask you what the words mean.
- Share what you learn.
- Set up weekly halaqahs in your community
- Have pamphlets/cards ready in your car/purse. You never know when you'll have the opportunity to give da'wah
- Set up Question & Answer tables at university etc. to answer questions about Islam.
