A major Concern of Many Americans, at least...

[Muslimah]

Bismillah


salam Mahavspna


Well my dear sister Radiyah did give u a start.


the rest may turn into a book or be brief.


Let us take the second option;


Allah Say in Quran:" <b>There is no compulsion in religion</b>. Verily, the Right (Path of) Guidance has become distinct from the wrong path. Whoever disbelieves in Taghut and believes in Allah, then he has grasped the most trustworthy handhold that will never break. And Allah is All-Hearer, All-Knower." (Quran 2:256)


The underlined part is the answer here. We are not commanded to put a sowrd on someone's neck to force him/her to embrace Islam.


Islam is an option we make in life, either we submit to Allah or not.


Thus, We are not commanded to envade houses or give out money for example like Christain Missionaries to pull people in.


So tell your friends to rest assured no one is going to force them into Islam.
