I fully agree with wel_mel
allah says in the quraan:
<i>"Oh you who believe, save yourselves and your family from a fire who's fuel is men and stones"</i>
surah tahrim(66):6
if you want to spread islam then you must first practice it yourself allah also says in surah saff(61):2-3
<i>"Oh you who believe why do you say that which you do not do</i>
it is the most hateful thing with allah that you say that which you do not do"
so you see the importance of <i>"practising what you preach"</i>
further more, when telling people about islam... focus on allah...
tauhid... the oneness of allah.... the islamic concept of god.....
in general focus on the islamic 'aqidah... tell people about it.
for instance if you want to tell someone about allah or answer them about who is allah.... just read surah Ikhlas(112)...
I think this board will benefit you in that you will be exposed to alot of people giving da'wah and you will learn more and gain hikmah as the time passes as to how to approach this wonderful work of da'wah....
I look forward to hearing alot more from you here at islammessage and elsewhere on the net.....
always remember... tell the people about allah... you can tell them everything else AFTER...
may this board benefit you as it has done me....
ameen
m'a salamah
