Ethnicity : Syrian, Yemeni

Places Lived : Syria, UAE

Languages : English, Arabic, French (Intermediate)

Islamic Interests : The existence of God, Islam vs other faiths (mostly discussing the nature of God in different faiths), and the Sirah of the Prophet PBUH.

Dawah Strategies : Hearing their misconceptions, showing them how Islam makes the best choices for everyone with accordance to all biological and historical facts, explaining how all Islamic rules create a perfect society and how Islam does not outrule a single beneficial thing. Explaining the existence of God from their theological point of view and why other systems of faith always feature contradictions while Islam doesn't.

From : Cairo, Egypt

Ethnicity : Egyptian

Places Lived : Egypt

Languages : English, Arabic

Islamic Interests : Faith & Tawakul, Modesty, Salah & Duaa (The Connection to Allah)

Dawah Strategies : A lenient yet a realistic approach towards the concern or the intended topic. I believe every answer should always be directed towards Islamic roots while providing the reasons behind it or the correct way of performing an act. However, it should always be kept in mind that the other person may have different values and deep rooted ideals that may arise some difficulties through guidance, so evidence like Hadeeth or Quran should definitely be quoted as to inspire them to come back to these resources in times of doubt. Of course, an encouraging attitude and patience should be there! :)

From : Astana, Kazakhstan

Ethnicity : Kazakh

Places Lived : Kazakhstan, UAE

Languages : English, Russian, Kazakh

Islamic Interests : Peace with one’s self, Fulfillment, Community and Brotherhood

Dawah Strategies : I would start with describing how destructive it is to to take ones desires as God instead of recognizing Allah as the only One worth worshipping: the former disadvantages one in this life already, while the latter, in shaa Allah, leads to success in both lives. Then, I’d advocate for the truthfulness and the wisdom of Quran and say that denying it would be a self deception and a proof of nonobjectivity. From this stage, I think it is important to leave the person alone, give him/her space for thought and don’t push too hard; in the meantime, make dua for the person.

From : Addis Ababa, Ethiopia

Ethnicity : Amhara

Places Lived : Ethiopia, UAE

Languages : English, Amharic, Arabic (Intermediate)

Islamic Interests : Ethics and Morality in Islam, Women in Islam, Charity, and Zaakat

Dawah Strategies : My approach for talking non Muslims about Islam would be to show them what the Quran really teaches delicately through my actions(treating them good, offering help….) so I can be able to make them feel interested. Besides the basic do’s and don’ts more than half part of the Quran teaches about ethics and morality which many people do not realize. For example, the Quran never mentioned the Christian and the Jews without saying “O people of the book” indicating they were people of revealed religion. We can see that there exists a relationship of mercy between Muslim and non Muslims all ruled by common principles of religion sent by Allah through his prophets.

Islamic Interests : Islamic moral values, practicalities, adaptations, and benefits under modern world

Dawah Strategies : As a Chinese who were born in a Muslim family, I am thrilled to talk to others about Islam, the strategies of Islam surviving in non-Muslim countries and how Islam adapts itself into non-Muslim societies such as China. I live in China for my whole life and see things have been consistently going both wrong and well when it comes to existence of Islam and other religions, which all worth a serious discussion.
