Is it prescribed to admonish those who are preoccupied with desires using jokes and amusing stories on the grounds that they are more attractive to them?

Question:
May Allah reward you, Your Eminence, father. The questioner says: It is now widespread among the youth that if they want to call the youth who are preoccupied with desires to Islam, they give them tapes full of jokes or stories and tales, arguing that these are more attractive to them and dearer to them than anything else, and have a stronger effect on them. Is this method of admonition correct?

Answer:
No, this contradicts what Allah the Exalted said, which you heard recently mentioned in the Qur'an: the one who fears is the one who is reminded. The reminder is to be with what is correct and established from the Qur'an and the Sunnah. Is it not to be with tales, amusing stories, and the like? The methodology of da'wah (calling others to Islam) is known, as the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) did and said, and as we followed. We take the biography of the Messenger in da'wah and follow it. Does it contain such matters? It does not. Yes.
