It is very important to understand why we as Muslims do da’wah and what our duties are when doing so. As such, Br. Bassam Zawadi has summarized a list from the work, “al-Ahkaam wal-Dawaabhit al-Muta’aliqa bil-Hiwaar ma’a Ghayr al-Muslimeen – (The Rulings and Criteria Related to Dialogues with Non-Muslims)”, by  Dr. Sahl bin al-‘Otaibi.

1. Clarifying that Islam is the only religion acceptable to God.
2. Clarifying the principles and teachings of Islam so that others may understand what it is about.
3. Declaring Islam’s innocence from the false allegations made about it.
4. Boosting the morale of Muslims who especially live as a minority in countries where missionaries are active in their evangelism.
5. Supporting the stance of Muslim minorities and help them demand their rights.
6. Helping create mutual understanding and encouraging peaceful co-existence with the disbelievers living next to us and to prevent fitnah.
7. Clarifying the reality and truth of other religions through the lens of Qur’an and Sunnah.
8. Inviting the People of the Book to their true original religion and making apparent the corruption which crypt into their books.
