Da‘wah (Arabic: دعوة) usually denotes preaching of Islam. Da‘wah means literally "issuing a summons" or "making an invitation", being the active participle of a verb meaning variously "to summon, to invite" (whose triconsonantal root is د ع و). A Muslim who practices da‘wah, either as a religious worker or in a volunteer community effort, is called a dā‘ī, plural du‘āt. A dā‘ī is thus a person who invites people to understand Islam through a dialogical process, and may be categorized in some cases as the Islamic equivalent of a missionary. In Early IslamIn the Qur'ān, the term dawah has other senses. In Sura 30 of the Qur'ān, it denotes the call to the dead to rise from the tomb on the Day of Judgment. When used in the Qur'ān it generally refers to God's invitation to live according to his will. Thus, when used in the first centuries of Islam, it increasingly referred to the content of that message and was sometimes used interchangeably with sharī‘a and dīn. Da‘wah is also described as the duty to "actively encourage fellow Muslims in the pursuance of greater piety in all aspects of their lives," a definition which has become central to contemporary Islamic thought. Purposes of Da‘wahIn Islamic theology, the purpose of Da‘wah is to invite people, both Muslims and non-Muslims, to understand the worship of God as expressed in the Qur'ān, as well as to inform them about Muhammad. As directed to non-Muslims, it consists of proselytizing. From Wikipedia under the

Allah guides who he wishes. The only thing you can do is answer any sincere questions to the best of your knowledge and ability.If you cannot answer a question make sure you make it clear that there is an answer but you dont know it at the moment.Research it,come back and continue your explanation. As for many people,they are simpy not open to the concepts of Islam because of various prejudices theyve accumulated.And it is tedious arguing with a wall.Leave them to believe what they will and wish them peace.
