Dawa in public schools
Sometimes you just gotta love your enemies, especially when they tell you the truth.
From Dawa Net:
Definition of DawaDawa means to invite non-Muslims to accept the truth of Islam. Performing Dawa involves both our words and actions.
Importance of Dawa in IslamThe Quran and the Hadith of Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) give numerous references on the importance and the obligations of Dawa. The prophetic life of the Prophet involved spreading the message of Islam. Dawa is also reflected in the lives of the Sahabas (the Companions of the Prophet). Now the responsibility of spreading the message of Islam rests on our shoulders.
- "Invite all to the way of your Lord with Wisdom and beautiful Preaching" (Quran 16:125)
- "you are made witnesses unto mankind" (Quran 2:143)
- "Let there arise a group inviting to all that is good" (Quran 3:104)
Provided below would be some practical suggestions that Muslim students as individuals and as a group should undertake to accomplish the above-mentioned goal.
Students: receptive to new ideasStudents are routinely exposed in their classroom to new information and opinions, hence they tend to be more receptive to new beliefs and ideas.
Schools are therefore fertile grounds where the seeds of Islam can be sowed inside the hearts of non-Muslim students. Muslim students should take ample advantage of this opportunity and present to their schoolmates the beautiful beliefs of Islam.
Getting startedFirst and foremost the Muslim students should establish themselves into a Muslim group (Muslim Students Association, Islamic Circle, Quran Study Group etc.) if they haven't yet instituted one.
Organized efforts give better results and contain blessings of Allah in them. The prime aim of this group should be to evolve Muslim themselves into dynamic Muslim personalities and also to portray Islam to their non-Muslim peers and school staff in a positive way using words and actions.
Personal contactIt has been proven that one-to-one contact with non-Muslim students in the classroom is the most effective way to share Islam. Personal contact tends to be more informal and invites more questions from non-Muslims. It is advised that brothers work with non-Muslim boys and sisters work with non-Muslim girls.
