Assalamualaikum WarahmatuaAllah hi wabara kaatuhu!
We all need to understand that first impressions matter a lot. It may not be who we really are but it's something that we will be in the eyes of someone who doesn't really know us and perceive our impression as someone who we're not. Which is why it is very important for us as muslims to maintain a very good impression over non- muslims while giving Dawah. We may not get a second chance to give a good impression so be ready to present your first TRUE impression. (no body wants to be fake here :P)
We muslims do not follow Islam correctly and fight among our muslim brothers and sisters, this is what our impression has fallen over the non-muslim community. Which is why we need to check our akhlaaq (manners) because that's the biggest attracting factor to any person irrespective of religion.
Some of the things which I personally would do to keep a non-muslim intact are:
1. Dress well and greet them well. Use a catchy Title or banner to attract the audience to come towards you.
2. Make sure you actually are practicing Islam so that the Latter doesn't consider you as a hypocrite when it comes to Dawah.
3. Make sure you have great energy and enthusiasm while preaching them to Islam. Dull and boring conversations are a big turn off to anybody.
4. Speak about the concepts of Islam according to the level and maturity of the Non-Muslim. There are somethings which we understand perfectly while the latter may not. So speak in consideration of the latter so he may not feel stupid or let down.5. Do not start judging the non-muslim in regards to his/her outward appearance, beliefs or lifestyle and start becoming the HARAM police. Rather start preaching from the basic principles of Islam i.e AQEEDA which is the most important and needs to be corrected.
6. Make sure you speak to them with proof and evidence. If you know something but do not have proof or evidence, then remain silent. Because you wouldn't want to be wrong later and be considered as a liar.
7. Return their misbehavior with the best of manners whether you like it or not. (MUHSIN)
8. Sincerity and the truth of Islam should be shown all over us, so that they respect how strong our belief is, which will intrigue them to find out how this religion has such a great affect on us..
I hope this helps all of us to maintain a good impression on the non-muslims while preaching. This is simply my personal opinions. There may be some great tactics by the Daaees out there which I do not know. So If anybody would also like to share their tactics, Please do comment below. JazakiaAllahu khairan for reading.
