Chat Programs
There are various chat programs one can use to give Dawah on the
internet where there are many people. Some of these that are
widely used are
• mIRC
• Magchat
• PalTalk
In some of them the da'i can even make his own room and invite
people there. If there is a voice chat option the da'i could use this
as the listeners show more respect if they can hear the voice than
just typing. And the da'i should respond politely to any abusive
comments or put that particular member in the ignore list
Avoiding 3D Chats
It is better for the da'i to avoid 3d chats as they are more like
games and also there might be figures of nude people which is
haraam to look at.
Precautions
On the internet there will always be people who opose Allah and
His Messenger, some may try to abuse the da'i intelectually or by
preventing his access to certain rooms but the da'i should carry on
his duty and answer questions of those who are sincerely
interested.
To avoid reading abusive messages the da'i can type for example
"If you have questions about Islam ask me in private" and then
without reading the responses in the main room to wait people to
talk to him in private windows.
It is always better to give to one person Dawah than the whole
room.
If the da'i should meet a Muslim and finds out that he is falling
short in his Fardh deeds he should explain him how Allah SWT
created us and told us He is our Rabb and we were created to
worship Him Alone and encourage him to start and keep up with
the Fardh deeds.
"And I did not create the jinn and mankind except to worship
Me." 51:56
Explanation of the Tawheed
It is good and effective to exlpain the Tawheed and the Aqeeda of
Muslims first then correct their incorrect beleifs.
The da'i can say for example: "In Islam we believe that there is
Only One God and He is Only worthy of worship. And a
Muslim is required to worship God Alone without associating
any partners with Him."
"The Jews call 'Uzair a son of Allah, and the Christians call
Christ the son of Allah. That is a saying from their mouth; (in
this) they but imitate what the unbelievers of old used to say.
Allah's curse be on them: how they are deluded away from the
Truth!" 9:30
and then explain him how it doesn't befit Allah SWT to have sons
and how He is Unique (Ahad) and there is non like Him. The da'i
can quote here from the Qur'an the verse:
"It is not befitting to (the majesty of) God that He should beget a
son. Glory be to Him! " 19:34-35
and "Glory be to Him: (far exalted is He) above having a son."
4:171
Jews also say that Aoo'dhu billah "Allah's hands are tied up"
They described Allaah as having shortcomings, and they killed the
Prophets and Messengers of Allaah, as Allaah says (interpretation
of the meaning):
“The Jews say: ‘Allaah’s Hand is tied up (i.e. He does not give
and spend of His Bounty).’ Be their hands tied up and be they
accursed for what they uttered. Nay, both His Hands are widely
outstretched. He spends (of His Bounty) as He wills” al-Maa’idah
5:64
“Indeed, Allaah has heard the statement of those (Jews) who
say: ‘Truly, Allaah is poor and we are rich!’ We shall record
what they have said and their killing of the Prophets unjustly,
and We shall say: ‘Taste you the torment of the burning (Fire).’”
Aal ‘Imraan 3:181]
They distorted the word of Allaah, i.e., the Tawraat (Torah). Allaah
says (interpretation of the meaning):
“So, because of their breach of their covenant, We cursed them
and made their hearts grow hard. They change the words from
their (right) places”
al-Maa’idah 5:13
“Then woe to those who write the Book with their own hands
and then say, “This is from Allaah,” to purchase with it a little
price! Woe to them for what their hands have written and woe to
them for that they earn thereby”
al-Baqarah 2:79
The da'i can also quote from the Tawraat (Torah) that the coming
of Prophet Mohammed was mentiond there by Allah SWT
Christians also think that Isa (A.S) is the Aoo'dhu billah, son of
God although he Isa (A.S) was only a Prophet of Allah.
In this case the da'i can explain the Tawheed first then quote:
"It is not befitting to (the majesty of) God that He should beget a
son. Glory be to Him! " 19:34-35
The da'i should explain that The Holy Spirit is said to be Angel
Gabriel (A.S) and that Allah is High Above what they attribute to
Him.
The da'i can also say: "Don't say God is three, God is One."
Say not: "three (trinity)!" Cease! (it is) better for you. For Allah
is (the only) One Ilah (god), glory be to Him (Far Exalted is He)
above having a son. 4:171
Dawah to Polytheists
In this case the da'i can firstly explain the Tawheed then quote the
verse from the Qur'an where Allah says that if there were many
gods then they would fight.
The da'i should also ask if they worship any statues or items so to
say to him :
"If I were to take an axe and went to destroy that statue would
it be able to protect itself?"
Dawah to Pagans
These people are people that satan has played with their minds as
he had done so with the people of Saba and they were
worshipping the Sun. A beleif that satan keeps fooling more
Jaaheel people into is the Wicca and its followers are called
Wiccans.
In this they believe that there are, A'oodhu billah, two gods, one
male and one female and that they are responsible for the
creations. Although they belive that they worship statues and
stones and marbles if you ask them, this is how astray satan the
accurssed has led them.
"They (all those who worship others than Allah) invoke nothing
but female deities besides Him (Allah), and they invoke nothing
but Shaitan (Satan), a persistent rebel!" 4:171
"My Lord brings the Sun from the East can your gods bring it
form the West?"
"Do you worship things that are created? And they do not
answer your call."
Dawah to Atheists
Their situation is the most ridiculous as their sayins imply that
they don't have a reason in life. But the da'i should not ridicule
them in this way and be kind to them.
The da'i can mention that there is beauty in the creation and Chaos
does not result with beauty.
“He is the one who has let free the two bodies of flowing
water, one sweet and palatable, and the other salty and bitter.
And He has made between them a barrier and a forbidding
partition.“ 25:53
The example with the camel, how beautiful is the creation of the
camel. Allah SWT has made on his back place to store water so it
will not be thirsty at long journeys in the desert and made its feet
wide so it will not sink into the sand. Allahu Akbaar!
Do they not look at the camels, how they are created? 88: 17
“And let not those who disbelieve think they will escape. Indeed,
they will not cause failure [to Allah ]“. 8: 59
