Salamo alycom bns,

We are all ambassadors to Islam. The
way we spread Islam can have a big impact on our non-Muslim friends. We
can either spread it in a subtle way or by going the whole nine yards.
However, the following are things we should stop doing while giving out
dawah. Yeeeech.

do not be the - Horrendous Vocab/

Do research on your audience. This is terrible: 

Non-Muslim Female: Hi there� I�m Tiffany. I�m interested in Islam� *reaches out to shake hand*

Fanatical Muslim: I don�t shake hands with kafir scum. Especially kafir girls. Actually girls in general. Astagfirullah.

Non-Muslim Female: But �

Fanatical Muslim: Illicit touching is of
the kufaar. I pray that the kufaar will burn in hell and all the kufaar
females become eradicated before they whore themselves to innocent
Muslim males.

Non-Muslim:  Uh�

Fanatical Muslim: Now what is it you wanted to know about Islam? 

*Non-Muslim runs off crying* 

Courtesy and manners is key. Unfortunately the so-called learned people seem to lack it nowadays though.

The Haram Factor

In Islam, nearly everything is Halal until proven otherwise. It�s sad to see people make it appear the opposite. 

Non-Muslim: Okay I�m ready to be a Muslim. I�ll join up. What do I have to do?

Muslim: No pork. No alcohol. No sex before marriage. No interest (mortgages etc). No gayness. 

Non-Muslim: But�

Muslim: Shut up. Now hurry up and convert
so you can dump your kafir boyfriend and get married to me so I can
impress my friends that I married a convert.

*Non-Muslim runs off crying* 

Sometimes having a good character is the besy dawah in itself. However it could be the opposite. We need less kafir-cursing, guns-a-blazin' folk and more likeable characters in our ummah. People of the past were likeable.
