Is giving a cassette as a gift part of calling people to Allah?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Q: I love calling people to Allah and am enthusiastic about it, but I do not have a good method. Is it sufficient for this purpose that I choose a cassette by one of the scholars and callers to Allah and give it to my relatives and Muslims in general?
A: Yes. If the cassette is by a well-known scholar with sound creed and extensive knowledge, and you give it to your brothers, you have done well. You will have a reward like his, based on the saying of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him):Sahih Muslim 1893a narrated by Imam Muslim in his Sahih.
As for you, there is nothing wrong with speaking about what you know of the truth in a good manner, such as encouraging people to pray in congregation, pay zakah, and warning them against backbiting, talebearing, undutifulness to parents, severing family ties, and the immoral acts that Allah has forbidden. This is because these matters and their like are known to Muslims from scholars and others.

One who guides to something good has a reward similar to that of its doer.
من دل على خير فله مثل أجر فاعلهAs for you, there is nothing wrong with speaking about what you know of the truth in a good manner, such as encouraging people to pray in congregation, pay zakah, and warning them against backbiting, talebearing, undutifulness to parents, severing family ties, and the immoral acts that Allah has forbidden.
