Best of you

14. "The best of your religion is that which is easiest." [Ahmad, Sahîh]

Quotes to remember

7. “Do not dispute with your brother, ridicule him, nor promise him and then break your promise.” (al-Tirmidhi)

Salafs sayings

Abu ad-Dardaa narrated [Saheeh Muslim, No.6588]: The Messenger of Allaah said: «No believing servant supplicates for his brother behind his back (in his absence), except that the Angels say: "The same be for you too".»
al-Imaam an-Nawawee comments [Riyaadh as-Saaliheen #1494]: This hadeeth makes it evident that one who prays for someone in his absence also stands to benefit from it because the angel appointed for the task of praying for those who pray for others will pray for him, saying, "O Allaah! Grant him also the same which he has asked for others".

Da' wah with Audio cassettes is Resorted to only When Necessary

 


Question:

I know that we are supposed to call to Islam; is it sufficient, through, for me to give an audio cassette as a gift to someone who I invite, especially since I don't have suitable skills to call people in other ways?
Answer:

For sure, inviting others orally will have more profound effects then merely giving somebody a book or tape that they may or may not read. He will usually benefit from that tape when he is already seeking out the truth, but he will usually not benefit when he is coerced into listening to it. So when someone does not have much time, for example, he could give somebody a tape or a cassette. Otherwise, he will be more successful in his Da' wah if he speaks face to face with the person who he wants to invite.
