Salamz! Very nice nads ^_^ Masha'Allah continue the contribution.

a few points i want to make:

[quote]
Make Dua and make sincere efforts and remember Allah can also misguide you if He wills (we seek refuge in Allah from that). [/quote]

this is true but remember that Allah will only misguide you if the will to turn away from Islam is in your heart. if you wish to fight off this feeling in your heart then you must remember that this is probably not your own desire: shaytaan is probably feeding you some useless rubbish that you need not think about but, regardless of this, you must ALWAYS do Zikr. Dawud Ali once said in one of his beautiful Nasheeds: all you have to do to have Allah remember you is just remember Allah thats all you have to do, all you have to do to have Allah remember you is just remember Allah j'Allah J'Allah la huu XD ive memorised all his nasheeds off by heart cos i listen to them so often hehe

[quote]
Dawa is no excuse to have long and private conversations and meetings with the other sex, for example. Set up a system where someone expressing an interest in Islam is referred to someone of the same sex. [/quote]

Yes this is certainly true but be careful not to cut off mixed-sex dawa sessions completely. the sisters in Islam have been scientifically proven to be a lot more Islamically intellectual than the men (haha) and so it is vital that their voices be heard too. always have an adult present at mixed-sex dawa sessions as they are good for the deen but if you do not trust yourself to attend these sessions wihtout commiting some kind of ...sin then you should probably attend same-sex dawa sessions. at the end of the day it is down to YOU.

Young people may think Islam is too "old fashioned" and not in tune with the modern age. Prove this wrong. 
[/quote]

and for the scientific nerdy types, the best way to prove that this is wrong is ISCIENTIFICALLY!! aka Islamically and scientifically, by pulling out all the revelations in the Quraan and laying them out on the table for all to see. if Islam is so outdated, then how is it that it speaks of the stages of man inside the mother's womb atleast 1400 years before the invention of ultrasound?? SubhanAllah XD

Don't emphasize any other aspect of Islam until your friend starts making a real effort to pray five times a day. Emphasize the direct connection one has with Allah in prayer.[/quote]

this is SOOOO important!! in fact, our GROWN UP Muslims have made this mistake in the past with the Russian kking i think it was. the Russion King wanted to become a Muslim so he consulted a Muslim Scholar but this Muslim Scholar was a complete doughnut because he told the Russian King that, in order to become Muslim, he must stop drinking. well, the Russian King with the permanent hang over wasnt at all happy about this so he said 'WHAT?? OH FORGET ISLAM IM BECOMING A CHRISTIAN, THEY LET ME DRINK DONT THEY??'

well, as you can see, that wasnt the best thing to do. the ''Muslim Scholar'' seemed to have forgotten totally about the Shahada, the Salah, the Sawm and the Zakah and the Hajj. yes, preach Islam, but preach it BEAUTIFULLY because Islam is so beautiful itself. Sheikh Hamza Yusuf said: Islam is beautiful. If what you are seeing is not beautiful then it is not Islam that you are seeing.

Wassalam and thanks again nads .xXx.[/quote]
