Distributing pamphlets about Islam to non-Muslims
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Fatwa No. ( 21304 )
Q: Is it permissible for us to distribute pamphlets about Islam throughout the country? The pamphlet is in Chinese and includes phone numbers for those who wish to inquire further about Islam. We ask you to inform us of the correct method for spreading Islam in Taiwan . May Allah reward you with good.
A: Calling people to Allah the Exalted is among the greatest deeds by which a Muslim draws near to Allah, Mighty and Majestic. Allah has praised those who do so, saying:[Fussilat 41:33]. The one who calls to Allah with clear knowledge is among the most distinguished followers of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), as Allah the Exalted said of His Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him): [Yusuf 12:108]. Since this is established, the means of spreading Islam and calling to Allah are many; such as private da'wah to each individual according to his capacity, and public da'wah to people through lectures, sermons, and the like. Among the useful means of da'wah is also printing books and pamphlets that are distinguished by good presentation and ease of understanding, and distributing them to those from whom Islam is hoped. And success is from Allah, and may Allah send prayers and blessings upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and his Companions.

And who is better in speech than one who invites to Allah and does righteousness and says, "Indeed, I am of the Muslims."
وَمَنْ أَحْسَنُ قَوْلا مِمَّنْ دَعَا إِلَى اللَّهِ وَعَمِلَ صَالِحًا وَقَالَ إِنَّنِي مِنَ الْمُسْلِمِينَSay, "This is my way; I invite to Allah with insight, I and those who follow me. And exalted is Allah; and I am not of those who associate others with Him."
قُلْ هَذِهِ سَبِيلِي أَدْعُو إِلَى اللَّهِ عَلَى بَصِيرَةٍ أَنَا وَمَنِ اتَّبَعَنِي وَسُبْحَانَ اللَّهِ وَمَا أَنَا مِنَ الْمُشْرِكِينَ
