Question:
He says, may Allah protect you: Is it obligatory for me to invite the driver for whom I am the sponsor to Islam?
Answer:
Yes, the call to Islam is obligatory. You invite him to Islam, explain to him what Islam is, and encourage him to embrace it, so that perhaps Allah may guide him through your hand, as the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) said:Sahih al-Bukhari 3701 Yes.

if one man is guided on the right path (i.e. converted to Islam) through you, it would be better for you than (a great number of) red camels.
