Step 1: Make sure you have the right intentions before giving Dawah.
You should have pure and good intentions.
Oftentimes, many Muslims decide to tell the world about Islam but do it in a way that causes more damage than good, putting themselves in unfortunate situations.
Don't give Dawah if your intention is to show off that you are a very knowledgeable person; make sure your intention is to please Allah.
Giving Dawah is essentially a special mission to invite people to worship Allah according to the way that He wants to be worshiped.
You are delivering a message of truth and showing others how to follow it.
The purpose of Dawah is not only to spread the knowledge of Islam but to grow closer to Allah yourself.
Take the act of inviting others to Islam as a way to bring yourself closer to Islam as well. -
