Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : He says: O honorable Shaykh, what is the correct method in calling to Allah the Exalted? And how do we soften the hearts of people?
The Shaykh : Yes. The correct da'wah is what Allah Mighty and Majestic mentioned for His Messenger Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him and his family):[An-Nahl 16:125]. And be gentle. . And Allah Blessed and Exalted is He advised Musa and Harun to speak to the most stubborn of Allah's servants with gentle words. So be gentle and leave off harshness, and be patient with what befalls you from your brother if you do not find from him quick acceptance. And do not despair. Repeat. Perhaps guidance will be obtained on the tenth time or more. May Allah guide everyone to what is good. And now.
The questioner : ... .
The Shaykh : Two messages, the first?
