宣教（达瓦）的意思是邀请他人归信伊斯兰。分享伊斯兰是穆斯林所能做的回赐最丰厚的事情之一，而且你不必是学者才能开始。先知要求追随他的人把所知道的传达出去，哪怕只是一节经文。如果你知道自己为什么信仰，你就已经有可以分享的东西了。
“召人信仰安拉、力行善功，并且说：‘我是归顺伊斯兰的人之一’的人，还有谁的言辞比他更好呢？”
（古兰经 41:33 —— 优素福·阿里的英译本，由人工智能译为中文）
回赐
先知说，谁引导他人行善，谁就获得与行善者同样的回赐；如果安拉借着你引导了哪怕一个人，那对你来说胜过世间最珍贵的财富。
Sahih al-Bukhari 3461（传达出去，哪怕只是一节经文）Sahih Muslim 1893（获得与行善者同样的回赐）Sahih al-Bukhari 3701（胜过红毛骆驼）
八项原则
Hikmah智慧
从对方所在之处开始。了解他们已经相信什么、在乎什么，然后针对这些来谈。一个好问题往往胜过一个长篇的回答。
“你当以智慧和美好的劝导召人走你的主的道路，并以最优美、最宽厚的方式与他们辩论” 古兰经 16:125
（古兰经 16:125 —— 优素福·阿里的英译本，由人工智能译为中文）
Rifq温和
温暖能打开人心。安拉派穆萨去见法老——那个时代最傲慢的统治者——却仍然嘱咐他要温和地说话。
“但你们要对他温和地说话，或许他会接受劝告，或者敬畏（安拉）。” 古兰经 20:44
（古兰经 20:44 —— 优素福·阿里的英译本，由人工智能译为中文）
Taysir使之容易
先讲好消息。伊斯兰是一种慈悯，一个人最先听到的关于它的事，也应当让人感受到这份慈悯。
先知说：你们要使事情容易，不要使之困难；要传报喜讯，不要把人赶走。 Sahih al-Bukhari 69
（Sahih al-Bukhari 69 —— 由人工智能从英文翻译）
Kalimah sawa共同点
尤其是与基督徒和犹太人交谈时，要从你们已有的共同之处开始：独一的真主、众先知、易卜拉欣、穆萨和尔撒。
“有经典的人啊！你们来吧，让我们遵守我们与你们之间共同的准则：我们只崇拜安拉” 古兰经 3:64
（古兰经 3:64 —— 优素福·阿里的英译本，由人工智能译为中文）
Tawhid真主的独一
伊斯兰的其他一切都由此生长出来。如果你只有几分钟，就用来讲真主是谁，以及为什么唯独祂应受崇拜。
“这是我的道路：我凭着如亲眼所见般清楚的明证召人信仰安拉——我和追随我的人都是如此。” 古兰经 12:108
（古兰经 12:108 —— 优素福·阿里的英译本，由人工智能译为中文）
Akhlaq良好的品格
人们接受伊斯兰，往往是因为他们认识的一位穆斯林，而这发生在他们听到任何论证之前。仁慈、诚实和忍耐本身就是宣教。
“你要以更好的（善行）抵挡（恶行）：那么，与你之间有仇恨的人，就会好像变成了你的朋友和知己！” 古兰经 41:34
（古兰经 41:34 —— 优素福·阿里的英译本，由人工智能译为中文）
Burhan清楚的证据
伊斯兰的论据很有力，所以要把它展示出来。在本网站上把古兰经和其他经典并排打开，让人们自己阅读原始资料。
Tawakkul信托安拉
你的本分是真诚而得体地邀请。引导属于安拉，这就卸下了你的压力：每一次真诚的对话都是值得的，无论接下来发生什么。
“安拉引导祂所意欲的人，祂最知道谁是接受引导的人。” 古兰经 28:56
（古兰经 28:56 —— 优素福·阿里的英译本，由人工智能译为中文）
Win the person, not the argument
Dawah is not a contest. You are not there to beat anyone in a debate; you are there to help someone you care about come closer to Allah (﷾). Trying to win an argument is a big no-no, because you may win the point and lose the person.
Only Allah (﷾) changes hearts
You cannot put faith into anyone's heart. Only Allah (﷾) can. The Prophet (ﷺ) said that the hearts of all people are between two of the fingers of the Most Merciful, who turns them however He wills. Then he prayed: O Allah (﷾), Turner of hearts, turn our hearts to obeying You. Sahih Muslim 2655
“know that Allah cometh in between a man and his heart”
In other words, Allah (﷾) has more power over a person's heart than they have themselves. Even the Prophet (ﷺ) could not make his beloved uncle Abu Talib believe, and the verse quoted under Tawakkul above was revealed about him. So do your part well, and leave the result to Allah (﷾). 古兰经 28:56Sahih al-Bukhari 4772
Be humble, and never argue to win
When a conversation turns into a contest, the other person stops listening and starts defending their pride. Be humble. You were guided by Allah's (﷾) mercy, not by your own cleverness, and the person in front of you may one day be a better Muslim than you.
“Wert thou severe or harsh-hearted, they would have broken away from about thee”
Allah (﷾) said this to the Prophet (ﷺ) himself, the best of people, in a verse that begins by praising his gentleness as a mercy from Allah (﷾). He also tells us to argue only in the way that is best (the verse under Hikmah above), and to talk with Jews and Christians only in the best way, not by mere disputing. 古兰经 16:125古兰经 29:46
The Prophet (ﷺ) said that gentleness makes beautiful whatever it is in, and taking it away spoils it. He also said that the person Allah (﷾) hates most is the one who is always quarrelling. Sahih Muslim 2594aSahih al-Bukhari 2457
So keep your voice soft and your ego out of it. If the talk gets heated, smile, let the point go, and pick it up another day. A friendship kept is worth far more than a point scored.
Be a friend who really cares
Be a real friend. Care about the person as a human being: their family, their work, what they are going through, and their search for meaning and for God (﷾). The Prophet (ﷺ) said that none of you truly believes until he wants for his brother what he wants for himself. If Islam is the best thing in your life, you will want it for your friend too. Sahih al-Bukhari 13
Take them for a coffee. Get to know them, ask about their life, and listen to the answer. Remember what they told you, and be there when life is hard. Share Islam the way a friend shares anything that matters to them: naturally, honestly, when the moment is right.
The Prophet (ﷺ) was like this. He would ask a little boy about his pet bird. When a young Jewish boy who served him fell ill, he went to visit him and sat by his head. He invited him to Islam, and the boy's father, who was sitting there, told him to listen to the Prophet (ﷺ). Sahih al-Bukhari 6129Sahih al-Bukhari 1356
The care must be real, never a tactic. Be their friend because you care about them, not as a project, and stay their friend whatever they decide, as the next section says. And if Allah (﷾) guides them through you, remember the reward above.
展开对话
大多数宣教并不是辩论。它是一位朋友问起你的信仰，一位同事对斋月感到好奇，或者一位邻居注意到你在礼拜。欢迎这样的问题，并简单地回答。
先倾听。问问他们相信什么、为什么相信，以及他们听说过哪些关于伊斯兰的事。你会了解到他们真正需要听的是什么。
一次只讲一个想法。清楚地回答他们所问的问题，比面面俱到的一场讲座更有用。
如果你不知道答案，就说“好问题，让我去查一查”，然后再回来找他们。这是诚实的，能建立信任，也让你们有理由再次交谈。
分享一些打动你的东西：一节你喜爱的经文、礼拜带给你的感受、你为什么信仰。真诚本身就有说服力。
无论他们作何决定，都要继续维持友谊，并为他们做祈祷（都阿）。许多人在一次亲切的交谈之后，过了多年才归信伊斯兰。
