Well i think that u need to organise special lectures. I think that this helps alot. You need to ain to tell people wot they r actually doing wrong but in such a way that it wont stop them from actually attending a programme.
I mean like last yr in my college in Ramadan a speaker was invited to give dawa. I can say that alot of people attended this wot i gathered at the end was that he told u about Ramadan but also wots happening in reality now. I mean he was saying things abt fasting but he people still see thier b/f g/f or wotever. He was indirectly pionting out wot people were doing wrong.
Another thing u were saying abt wearing the hijab is to do the same kind of thing. Yes everyone has problems with wearing it, i even do my self sumtimes we all make mistakes. U need to show people that they r makin mistakes but they can learn from them u need to piont out the benefits and i think people will eventually figure out wots rite and wrong themselves.
I hope that it has helped u i'll think of some other ideas and get bk to you. But wot i said so far i have seen it been done and it does piont out to u wot ur doing wrong. I aint perfect myself so when u hear abt how other people in Islam cope and people who r worse of then u and how much the Prophet (SAW) and his companions suffered , it does make u think. I know that people dont always tk in information all in one go so u gt to repeat it but in different ways.
lol Hope i made sense but i said wot i have from my own expericences.
