1. Purpose: the Necessity to Convert Jews to Islam


May the peace of Allah be upon you ,
I have a question . Ever heard of the group Jews-for-Jesus.org ? This is a
Christian missionary group that seeks to convert the Jews to Christianity .
Jews for Jesus has been very successful , they've nearly 300,000 members
worldwide ! That's impressive numbers considering there are only 10 million
Jews on this planet.
If Christians are able to get Jews to believe in something that essentially
amounts to Polytheism , why not then , Muslims invite Jews to advanced
level Monotheism ?!?! I would think a Jew would pick a Monotheist religion
over a tritheist one any day !
Hence, Jews-for-Allah.org
Why should Muslims convert Jews ? Besides this mission being our
obligation as agents of Allah , another reason to bring Jews to the
Brotherhood and Sister hood of Islam is:
Israel is the spigot in the neck of the Muslim world, suffocating and
choking the Middle East from Asia.

Israel has displaced over 500,000 Muslims, taking their land and homes,
forcing them to live as refugees for decades.
Israel has been sited by the UN for human rights violations more times then
any other country.
Israel has been the main supplier of genocidal weapons to the Serbs and
Hindus
The misunderstanding the Jews have towards Islam has prompted them to be
paranoid and lethally aggressive towards us, Fear leads to Hate which leads
to Murder , which has given us no choice but to be defenseful and
revengeful.
Our goal is not to kill the Jews, but instead Enlighten them by guiding them
to the Right Path , Our goal is to convert the 10 million Jews in the world to
Islam , yet *every* new Jewish Muslim is a new brother or sister in Islam
and important .
As we have recently witnessed, with Muslim's increased growth and efforts:
Israel has retreated from Lebanon.
Palestinians has withstood the pressures at camp David from America.
And we will struggle forward to Unite our voice for support and Joy When
Israel returns to being an Islamic country where Jews and Muslims lived
peacefully for centuries.
In conclusion , join our effort to re-unite the children of Abraham !

(2) Muslims OBLIGATION to invite Jews to Islam


We are COMMANDED over seventeen times in the Holy Quran specifically
to invite the people of the Book (Jews and Christians), to the path of Allah.
For example:
Say: O People of the Book! Come to an agreement between us and you:
that we shall worship none but Allah, and that we shall ascribe no partner
unto Him, and that none of us shall take others for lords beside Allah. And if
they turn away, then say: Bear witness that we are they who have
surrendered (unto Him). 3:64

Say: "O People of the Book! Why reject ye the Signs of Allah, when Allah
is Himself witness to all ye do?" 3:98
Say: "O ye People of the Book! Why obstruct ye those who believe, from
the path of Allah, Seeking to make it crooked, while ye were yourselves
witnesses (to Allah's Covenant)? but Allah is not unmindful of all that ye
do." 3:99
Besides dozens of general orders to invite non-Muslims, Allah directs us to
especially dialog with Jews and Christians.
Prophet Muhammad himself converted Jews to Islam
It has been narrated on the authority of Abu Huraira who said: We were
(sitting) in the mosque when the Messenger of Allah (may peace be upon
him) came to us and said: (Let us) go to the Jews. We went out with him
until we came to them. The Messenger of Allah (may peace be upon him)
stood up and called out to them (saying): O ye assembly of Jews, accept
Islam Book 019, Number 4363
The Prophet Muhammad also coordinated with Jewish converts to
Islam to bring more Jews to Allah:
The Prophet kept me (Al-Husayn ibn Sailam) in one of his rooms and
invited the prominent Jewish personalities to visit him. He introduced Islam
to them and urged them to have faith in God...They began to dispute and
argue with him about the Truth. When he realized that they were not inclined
to accept Islam, he put the question to them:
'What is the status of Al-Husayn ibn Sailam among you?'
(the Jewish elite responded) 'He is our leader, rabbi and our scholar
(Then Muhammad said) 'If you come to know that he has accepted Islam,
would you accept Islam also?'.
(the non-Muslim Jews said) 'God forbid! He would not accept Islam. May
God protect him from accepting Islam,' (horrified).

At this point I (Al-Husayn ibn Sailam) came out in full view of them and
announced: 'O assembly of Jews! Be conscious of God and accept what
Muhammad has brought. By God, you certainly know that he is the
Messenger of God and you can find prophecies about him and mention of
his name and characteristics in your Torah. I for my part declare that he is
the Messenger of God. I have faith in him and believe that he is true. I know
him.' Volume 5, Book 58, Number 250: Narrated Anas bin Malik:
Muhammad Sent Muslims to Convert Jews, and promised they will be
Rewarded.
When Muhammad was sending him to Khaibar to encounter the Jews, to
invite the Jews to Islam. He told him, "By Allah, if Allah guides one person
by you, it is better for you than the best types of horses [al-Bukhaaree,
Muslim]
Prophet Muhammad also sends Muadh to invite Jews to Islam
When Allah's Apostle (p.b.u.h) sent Muadh to Yemen, he said (to him),
"YOU are going to people of a (Divine) Book. First of all invite them to
worship Allah (alone) and when they come to know Allah, inform them that
Allah has enjoined on them, five prayers in every day and night; and if they
start offering these prayers, inform them that Allah has enjoined on them, the
Zakat. And it is to be taken from the rich amongst them and given to the
poor amongst them; and if they obey you in that, take Zakat from them and
avoid (don't take) the best property of the people as Zakat." Volume 2, Book
24, Number 537: Narrated Ibn Abbas:
In conclusion, our disobedience, pessimism and lack of confidence towards
inviting Jews to Islam have resulted in Israel being the spigot in the throat of
the Muslim world.
Some Muslims make excuses for not converting Jews
Some Muslims even try to quote the Quran in order not to discuss religion
with the Jews:
To you be your Way, and to me mine. 109:6
What Muslims ignore is that the context of this verse is to rebuke atheists

who try to lead Muslims astray, and has nothing to do with Jews, as we
stated, there are numerous verses in the Holy Quran directly instructing us to
bring these people of the Book to the Right Path.
Some Muslims say Jews will never convert or it is too hard to convert a
Jew
The Trinitarian Christian group Jews for Jesus has converted 300,000
Jews. The Jews endured the Crusades and Holocaust at the hands of the
Christians, and Christianity teaches that the Laws of Moses are like rags to
be done away with, yet nearly half a million Jews accepted Christianity, so
then can it be that hard to Convert a Jew?
Some Muslims say a Jew might get angry if I try to convert him
Allah tells us to speak kindly, in a pleasant manner, not attacking but instead
teaching, what Jews get angry about is if you try to take away their
Jewishness. Allah the all knowing foresaw this and in response, Allah tells
us to say:
..'We believe in that which had been revealed to us and revealed to you, and
our God and your God is One, and unto Him we surrender." Quran 29:46
One can be Jew by Race and Muslim by religion at the same time,
furthermore, Islam is simply the completion of Judaism.
Some Muslims say I am too busy, I dont have time
The Israelis who are afraid (due to ignorance) of Islam are knocking down
Muslim homes, forcing Muslims to stand for hours at check points and
arresting hundreds of Muslims. The time it will take to rebuild one of those
demolished homes (and buildings) or stand at a check point or sit in
captivity, locked in a Israeli prison is a massive amount of time. If we don't
give Jews our time, they will take much more of our time, maybe our lives,
they do have advanced weaponry and nuclear warheads. You do have a few
minutes to dispel the myths Jews have towards Islam, right ???
Some Muslims say kill all Jews!
Allah says:

"And there are, certainly, among the People of the Book (Jews and
Christians), those who believe in Allah, and that which has been revealed to
you and in that which has been revealed to them, humbling themselves
before Allah: They will not sell the Revelations of Allah for a miserable
gain! For them is a reward with their Lord, and Allah is swift in account."
{Holy Quran 3:199}
Although the Law of an eye for an eye is mandatory, it is also an
obligation to call Jews to Allah, so the eye does not get taken in the first
place, a converted Jew is better than a killed Jew, a converted Jew would be
a fellow brother or sister in Islam and will bring other Jews as well to Islam,
when the former Rabbi and presumed Messiah Shabbetai Zevi converted to
Islam, thousands of his Jewish followers converted to Islam with him. How
many converts will a murdered Jew bring?
Make a 100% effort, follow the Commandments of Allah
There are only 13 Million Jews in the world, compared to the 1.3 Billion
Muslims, for every 1 Jew, there are 100 Muslims, so converting ONE Jew to
Islam would be as if you converted 100 non-Muslims to Islam and as
Prophet Muhammad said, Allah will reward you greatly. Therefore, give it
your 100% effort.
"Who is better in speech than one who invites to God, works righteousness
and says, "I am of those who bow in Islam." 41:33

converting Jews, the articles are written by Jewish converts to Islam and
natural born Muslims specifically to bring Jews to Islam.

(3) Struggle for Jewish souls


Since Moses extradited the Israelis from Egypt, the struggle for Jewish souls
emerged. Moses displayed signs and warnings to the Israelis to capture their
souls. Similarly, Jesus devoted his life to annex Jewish souls. Even

Muhammad aimed to encompass the souls of Jews in his mission.


Jewish faith has experienced many trials and tribulations over the centuries,
from the punishments by Crusaders and Nazis, to the pleasures of interreligious marriages, all challenging the adherence to Judaism.
A NEW TYPE OF SOLDIER
After World War II, a unique approach towards Jews commenced. Over
eight hundred different missionary groups spending in excess of $250
million, mobilized to convert Jews, without violence. One of the greatest
pioneers of this strategy was Moishe Rosen, himself a convert from Judaism
to Christianity in 1953. Mr. Rosen ambitiously advanced an army of
evangelists in 1973 named "Jews for Jesus" (www.JewsforJesus.org). In
1978, there were 10,000 Jews who believed in Jesus.
Through vigorous tactics, by 1998, over 250,000 Jews counted themselves
as believers in Jesus, these are impressive figures considering there are only
13 million Jews world wide. Yet the battle was far from over, a counter
missionary group was formed in 1998 by Rabbi Bentzion Kravitz entitled
Jews for Judaism (www.JewsforJudaism.org), striving to take back souls
confiscated by Christians.
The newest division in this struggle are the Jews for Allah (www.Jews-forAllah.org) founded in 2000 by Mohamed Ghounem. Though Jews for Jesus
has a 28 year advantage over Jews for Allah (who recently celebrated their
one year anniversary), their resources and popularity are quickly catching up
with thousands of visitors per day to their website and two new books to be
published.
Many Jews who become Muslim are secretive concerning their conversion
for safety reasons, hindering an accurate estimate towards the number of
Jews for Allah. Though thousands of Jews were recorded to have converted
to Islam when a presumed Messiah named Shabbetai Zevi converted to
Islam in 1650.
Some Orthodox Rabbis, Muslim Ministers and Christian Priests from each
camp view these organizations as an encroachment and even anti-Semitic.
Despite such controversy, the majority view these Jewish sects as pioneers in
building bridges between both Jews and gentiles.

THE MISSION STATEMENTS


Each of the three groups attempt to gain more Jews to their side through
various ingenious strategies and slogans. These peaceful and pleasant
attempts are in sharp contrast to the inquisitions, crusades and holocaust of
the past generations. Each of these groups utilizes their interpreted status of
Jesus as leverage for their side.
Jews for Jesus founder Mr. Rosen states "they were not converted Jews--they
were converted sinners who happened to be Jewish." The Jews for Jesus
mission statement is; "We exist to make the Messiahship of Jesus an
unavoidable issue to our Jewish people world-wide." The group distributes
signs stating "Be More Jewish, Believe in Jesus", "Jesus Was Raised in a
Kosher Home." and "Everything You Always Wanted to Know About
Jesus...But Were Afraid to Ask Your Rabbi". They produce books, cassettes
and most recently in April 2001, a video entitled "Survivor Stories" which
proselytizes through Holocaust victims.
Jews for Judaism pride themselves on being the first and only active
international, full-time counter missionary, educational, outreach and
counseling organization dedicated to countering the multi-million dollar
efforts of missionary groups. The three primary goals of Jews for Judaism
are; preventative education, re-uniting families, and bringing Jews home.
Through their website, they list testimonies of former Jews for Jesus and
material countering the Christian ideals.
Jews for Allah in essence compliments both groups, they help Jews for
Judaism by also countering deity claims towards Jesus, as well as helping
Jews for Jesus by promoting Jesus as the Messiah, a belief taught in the
Muslim Holy book, the Quran. This organization promotes settling the
differences among Jews through Quranic teachings: "Hast thou not turned
Thy vision to those who have been given a portion of the Book? They are
invited to the Book of Allah, to settle their dispute..." [3:23]
The Jews for Allah mission statement is "Accepting the Messiahship of
Jesus without the Trinitarian theology". One of their slogans is a Star of
David on top of a Crescent moon, with the caption "Judaism and Islam, a
match made in Heaven." Their material contains an array of uniting
similarities between Judaism and Islam as well as a list of testimonies from

both Jews for Judaism and Jews for Jesus, sharing their journey to Allah.
This group was founded at a time when dialog between Israelis and Muslims
was desperately needed.
All three religions offer Truth, though sincere study proves Islam is the
Ultimate Truth, and the completion of these previous two religions from
Allah, therefore, as agents of Allah, we must enjoin the right on the wrong
doers.

(4) The method of converting Jews to Islam


There are two very important facts to keep in mind when dialoging with
Jews with the aim of converting them to Islam:
1) Only Allah can convert a Jew to Islam, we as agents of Allah, only have
the power and duty to invite Jews to the path of Allah, asking them to repent
and accept Allah and the messenger Muhammad as their guide. Once we
have invited Jews to Islam, we must pray for them to have the strength to
submit to Allah, and that they open their hearts and minds to Allah. We bring
the message to the Jews, if they repent and are sincere, Allah will do the rest.
2) the second important fact when speaking to Jews is to understand and
realize that For a Jew, their identity is like their nationality, which they are
very proud of, for example, one is proud to be an American, or proud to be
an Egyptian.
Although their racial identity as a Jew does not specifically mean they
follow Judaism or that they believe the Bible is from God or that they wont
convert to Islam.
It simply means that they have some relationship with, or identify to, a 3
thousand year old tribe [Hebrews] (which incidentally followed many forms
of religion throughout those years).
Most Jews fear Islam; they perceive it as either a religion of terror or a
challenge to their scriptures, the Torah and Talmud, making them afraid from
both sides. People in general, psychologically hate and attack what they
fear, or do not know. Hence our first step in inviting Jews to Islam is to
teach the similarities.

For example, you can start by explaining, Being Muslim is kosher


And how Jews and Muslims follow similar dietary laws, as well as religious
laws.
But clarify that the Quran does not quote the Bible, it is a completion of the
Bible.
The challenge of bringing a Jew to Islam is that in their culture, Jews are
perceived as saints, the good guys, while Muslims are portrayed as the
devils, the bad guys, opposites of being a Jew.
With the importance of their preserving their identity in mind, we must
address these negative stereotypes towards Islam. Explain how Islam was
the protecting force that nurtured the Jewish golden age for centuries, and
how the Quran refutes terrorism. (Though try to avoid political discussions,
you are aiming for their souls, not dirt).
Once the image of a Muslim is improved in their perspective, then the
difference between a Jew and a Muslim for them becomes very narrow,
almost non-existent. So you are now on track of allowing the Jew to keep
his or her identity while also accepting Muhammad as the final Prophet and
the Holy Quran as Gods final message.
Specifying that Allah was for the Jews and non-Jews alike and that
Muhammad also came for the Jews along with non-Jews with examples, also
Jews them that Islam is a religion for the Jews as well as for the non-Jews.
How to attract Jews to Islam
"Invite (call) to the way of your Lord with wisdom and beautiful preaching
and argue with them in ways that are best and most gracious. " (Qur'an
16:125).
The 4 key words in this verse are "invite", "all", "wisdom", and "beautiful
preaching". Many Muslim missionaries and Islamic organizations around the
globe have successfully based their methonds on this verse.

To them, to "invite" implies to gently pursue, attract, be polite, be friendly,


be caring and understanding, amongst other things. We cannot, for example,
"invite" a non-Muslim to listen to anything about Islm, let alone study
Islm or become interested in it, by calling him Kafir, unclean, or other
hurtful names. The Holy Prophet did not allow even the to be lampooned in
satirical poetry by, Hassan bin Thabit by saying "what about the fact that I
have common descent with them?" (Bukhari, from Aisha)
We should follow the example of the Holy Prophet by not reviling others. In
this way, we portray a highly civilized form of behavior, as demanded by
Islm, and therefore become the best advertisement for Islm, which is
exactly what a true Muslim missionary should be. Muslims who give the
religion a bad name and image by behaving in fanatical, violent, highly
emotional, not receptive to reason, narrow minded, dogmatic and other unIslmic ways, do, unfortunately, make the work of the Muslim missionary
that is much more difficult. They simply reinforce the already negative
image of Islm in the world today.
Remember also the command from Allh to the Prophets Moosa and
Haroon, peace be upon them:
"Go both of you to the Pharaoh. Lo! He has sinned. Speak to him a gentle
word, so that he may listen or feel fear." (The Qur'an 20:43 -44)
So even to the Pharaoh, who boiled people in cauldrons of oil, proclaimed
himself God, etc., we are required to say a gentle word, let alone those less
evil than him.
The next important word is "all". This means ALL, with no exceptions.
There has become a saturation of Islamic material inviting Christians and
atheists, yet any material to invite Jews to Islam is very rare. There isnt
even a Hebrew or Yiddish translation of the Quran on-line, nor an acceptable
translation of the Quran in Hebrew in print, nothing in Yiddish, including
pro-Islamic material in general.
This is very disturbing, seeing how Israel is surrounded by 100 million
Muslims on all sides. Therefore we cant pick and choose who we invite to
Islam, too many Muslims choose the easy path by inviting fellow Muslims
to Islam, while avoiding inviting Jews.

GUIDELINES FOR TALKING TO JEWS ABOUT ISLM


AIM: To convey the message of Islm, and to share one's love of Islm.
The aim should NOT be to convert the non-Muslim, since the non-Muslim
must make that decision of his own free will, with no pressure from others.
Of course, if he chooses to accept Islm, Alhamdulillah; and we will give
every help he needs during and after his conversion. Our role is to help the
person to discover himself, and to find a true direction or purpose in his life.
Getting to know about Islm is a spiritual journey for him, and he will
receive help and guidance in it from Allh I; our role is merely to assist him
in whatever way we can in that journey.
PRINCIPLES
A. APPROACH
1. Personal one to one approach is the method of choice. It brings the
non-Muslim closer to Islm. Before embarking upon conversation
about Islm, take time to get to know the person about him, his
family, work etc. (but of course only as much as he seems willing to
tell). Be a sincere friend to him. Be caring about his welfare. This is a
practical demonstration of Islm and to be oneself good Muslim is the
best method of Inviting to Islam.
By getting to know him, you can also plan the most effective strategy and
approach to tell him about Islm. Every individual is different, and needs at
approach to suit his own needs. Try to find out also how much he already
knows about Islm, and about any misconceptions, problems or doubts he
has concerning Islm. As to the problem how to begin the conversation, a
sharp and dedicated Muslim missionary will find an excuse to start the
dialogue about Islm.
A suitable opening question might be: How did you first come into contacts
with Islm? Or "How did you hear about our Center? Or one can ask a
question about some news involving Muslims and its background and turn
the question around by asking if he/ she knows about Islm and Muslims.
Do this in a gentle, friendly manner don't let it seem like an interview, or
ever worse, interrogation.

Try to draw him out, let him do a lot of the talking, and help him to feel as
relaxed as possible. Depending upon the situation, continue the discussion or
promise some literature.
2. With the people you meet regularly, never spend too much time
discussing Islm. Islm in small doses is digested better than in large doses.
Never give books or the Qur'an right away. Always begin with small
brochures then booklets. A copy of the Qur'an or full size books should be
given only after they are requested repeatedly. Never give more than one
book at a time and follow up if the person has read the book and asks
questions.
3. Try to get to know something about the cultural background of the major
groups of non-Muslims and converts. This will also help us to plan suitable
approaches in our inviting to Islam. Non-Muslims are not a uniform,
homogenous entity. They are not similar in all places. Each is very different
from the other, each may pose a very different challenge, each may require a
different approach. Westerners, for instance, tend to question everything and
are often quite skeptical
one needs to explain things in detail, reason
things out, to convince them. Jewish non-Muslims are more likely to face
problems with their families if/when they convert.
The Jews especially, fear losing their ethnic identity
one must reassure
them that, in accepting Islm, they become Muslims and do not switch over
to another ethnic group.
Be rational (not emotional), and be gentle in your approach, even if he is
aggressive or emotional, or even insulting. Be respectful toward him. Allh I
has given each person a mind with which to think and a heart with which to
feel, and he is entitled to his own opinions and feelings. Avoid being
confrontational, and don't feel that it is a "battle" or contest which you must
"win".
5. Don't be overzealous or overdo your inviting to Islam. When you see
from his face or body language that he is losing interest, stop conversation.
You could ease the tension by suggesting you both have a cup of tea, or by
introducing him to someone else at the Center. Remember that inviting to
Islam is a long process, and cannot be achieved in a single session, or even
in a few sessions
it demands consistent effort and a lot of patience.

6. Let him set the pace. For each individual, learning about Islm is a very
personal experience, and it is essential that he takes his own time to go
through it. Do not set any time limits, but gently guide him step by step as
he is ready. It is very important that he does not feel any pressure, as this
will put him in the wrong frame of mind for learning about the joy and inner
peace of Islm.
7. Inviting to Islam is an exchange of ideas and perceptions. Let it be a real
conversation, not a monologue by the Muslim missionary. Many nonMuslims despite having very little knowledge of Islmic teachings, have
ideas and beliefs which are very close to the Islmic ones. They also often
come with some stunning and insightful perceptions and comments, which
are truly instructive for the Muslim missionary.
8. If the target audience happens to be a group of more than five persons,
the relationship may become a bit more impersonal, like giving a speech to a
group. In such cases, questions should be invited after the lecture and some
brochures may be distributed. Those group talks are the best which avail
opportunity to the speaker of developing personal contacts with new
persons.
9. In most cases debates have not been found to be suitable means of
inviting to Islam. Debates work on the principle of knocking out the
opponent by exposing and attacking his perceived weaknesses. Debates
could be quite entertaining to Muslims but a torture to the opponent group;
torture never wins hearts. Quite often, a Muslim missionary wins the debate
but loses the debater, rendering the whole exercise futile.
10. Wide distribution of simple brochures and knocking, at the doors are
another two methods of reaching out. The first is like throwing seeds from
an airplane some will fall on rocks, some in lakes, some in desert and some
in fertile lands and grow. While using this approach, it is important to ensure
that brochures are simple and can be read within three to five minutes. These
must carry address(es) and phone numbers of some Islmic centers in the
area.
A Christian missionary organization has applied the 'knocking at the door
approach with some success. In this case, every care should be taken to be
very polite in seeking permission to enter the house and during the

conversation. The meeting must conclude as soon you notice such an


indication from the face or the body language of the hosts. The follow up
visit should depend on the willingness of the hosts and at their convenience.
B. CONTENTS
1. Aim to demonstrate the beauty of Islm such as oneness of God and
man's direct relationship with Him. Begin with the positive aspects.
2. As far as possible, stick to the main or central principles of Islm. Try to
avoid the less important (ikhtilafi) issues, e.g. Sunni-Shi'a issue; if the person
brings up such things, give a brief answer, and then try to steer him back to
the more basic principles, so that he will not see things in the wrong
perspective. At the same time, if there is a particular aspect of Islm
or
more likely mis-understanding of it
which seriously bothers him, take
time to discuss it and help clear his doubts.
3. Emphasize the universalism of Islm (e.g., Allh as the Universal God,
the only One worthy of True Worship)
the fact that Islm is a
reaffirmation and perfecting of the whole stream of Revelations from God
since the time of Prophet Adam; it thus teaches many of the same values
and principles that also occur in other major religions. It is not therefore, a
totally different and separate religion without any relationship to existing
religions. Do not criticize or insult any other religion. As far as possible,
avoid comparing Islm to other religions; just explain the teachings of Islm
itself.
4. It is often appropriate to present Islm as a way to find the answer to
contemporary social problems, which upset many people. Explain that Islm
covers all aspects of life, the social as well as individual, the material
(worldly) as well as the intellectual and spiritual; its principles are broad,
enabling their implementations to be flexible and dynamic and thus suitable
to all times and conditions.
5. Tell the truth always. Try to equip yourself with as much knowledge as
possible about Islm. Don't ever guess; if you don't know, or are not sure,
say so, and either refer him to someone who does know, or offer to find out
for him (and really do so!) from a reliable source. Always have someone
with better knowledge of Islm available for referral whenever difficult
questions arise. Never give video tapes of debates or those talks which

appear offensive to them because such material does not open hearts and
minds but the person will build defensive walls around himself rendering it
impossible to penetrate.
6. Don't be apologetic about Islm - Islm with all its aspects, principles and
practices, is a perfect religion, given to humanity by Allh
there is
therefore nothing to hide, apologize for or be ashamed of. Don't be upset if
anyone criticizes or rejects any aspects of Islm. Our role is to explain Islm
as best as we can whether or not he accepts it, is not our responsibility,
but is entirely in Allh's hands.
7. Don't be afraid to accept criticisms
often people judge Islm by
looking at Muslims, and of course many Muslims do not follow Islmic
teachings fully (or sometimes at all). We should admit such failings, and
point out that the "fault" is due to people's own weakness, whereas Islm
itself is a perfectly suitable way of life for man and brings him the fullest
satisfaction, happiness and peace if followed conscientiously. Do not attack
personalities of other religions. This is very unproductive, and only invites
the listener to retaliate with attacks on Muslims.
For the convert, the Muslim missionary should first build up the person's
aqeedah, his acceptance for love of Islm. Teaching of the ritual practices of
Islm should only come later.
We should aim to make every person feel a comfortable and "at home" as
possible at our centers, which should be places where he can simply be
himself, and enjoy the company of sincere Muslims, as well as learn about
Islm. He should not feel in any way "out of place".
Any Muslim with some elementary knowledge of Islm can be a inviting to
Islam worker but his effectiveness will depend upon his maturity in
approach. We should always be respectful and polite towards non-Muslims,
however far from the path they may seem to us to be. We must remind
ourselves constantly that each human being has been created by Allh with
the same potential to gain the highest level of consciousness of Him.
Thus they might well eventually become far better Muslims than our selves.
Finally, Remember inviting to Islam is a duty which each of us must
discharge according to the best of our ability and to please Allh. Don't be

afraid! Although inviting to Islam is quite a big responsibility, we must


remember that we are not doing it alone. Allh I is always with us. He gives
tremendous help to His servants who are sincere and humble in their wish to
please Him.

(5) Conclusion
Our fellow brothers and sisters in Islam have lacked the confidence and
knowledge to invite Jews to Islam. Yet in this new millennium and changing
world, it has now become urgent to teach Jews about Islam and put our fears
and lack of courage aside. The growing testimonies of Jewish converts to
Islam and the increasing pace of our movement has proven that Jews can,
will, and do come to Islam and that peace between Jews and Muslims can be
achieved through the knowledge of Allah. Many Jews are converting to
Islam, reap the rewards in this life and in Heaven by being a part of the
conversion.
Peace
