A non-Muslim visitor arrived at the mosque one afternoon, accompanying a Muslim friend who wore a faint frown, clearly uneasy about their presence.
One of the Duat noticed their entrance and, sensing an opportunity, welcomed the guest warmly. Ignoring the hesitation in their Muslim host’s expression, the Da’ee initiated a friendly conversation, gently sharing the teachings of Islam.
What started as a casual introduction turned into a deep, engaging discussion. The visitor listened intently, asking questions and exploring the beliefs that shaped the lives of Muslims.
They discovered Islam’s emphasis on compassion, justice, and purpose, and the Da’ee shared the wisdom of the Quran and the Prophet’s teachings with sincerity.
At the end of their conversation, the visitor’s face was alight with curiosity and joy. Any reservations they had were replaced by a genuine interest in learning more about Islam.
They thanked the Duat, expressing a desire to come back and delve deeper into their understanding.
Their Muslim friend, seeing this transformation, softened, realizing the beauty of dawah when shared with warmth and respect.
