as-Salaamu 3alaykum, Does your Da'wah just turn the misguided more away? If you are doing it right, then don't worry, and carry your call on. Allaah (Jalla Fee 3ulaah) Says (~translation of meanings), {[Nooh:] "But my call only increases (their) flight (from the truth)."} [soorah Nooh v. 6] How many a time, does it occur, that the caller to Allaah is harassed by the weakminded (those with inferiority complexes) for being "harsh" in his call. Their definition of harsh is not a Shar3ee definition, rather the mere reminder, advice, commanding of good and denouncing of evil, done regularly with wisdom, is enough to be labelled "harsh." We see, that Nooh ('Alayhis-Salaam), calls his people, day and night, public and private, regularly and at intervals (read Soorat Nooh), yet this only turns them farther and faster away from him and from the message he is carrying! So O caller to Allaah, don't worry about the results, as long as you are making your call with wisdom and insight. In Shaa' Allaah, you will be rewarded and successful, whether or not anyone follows the truth you wish to convey.
