How Do We Invite People to Islam?

This is true story.

A Muslim, who just got a doctor degree on Islamic study, want to debate with a Chrstain who also got a degree on Christain study. One day the Muslim asked the Christain, "How do you invite people to Islam?"

The Christain replied, "Invite me to your house and I will tell you."

One day, the Muslim invited the Christain to his house. He prepared very nice meal for his Christain Guest.

When the Chirstain arrived the Muslim's house, he rung the bell.

The Muslim opened the door and took the Christain to sit on the sofa. Then, the Muslim fed him food and took care of him very well. After sometime, they both started to talk about how do Muslim and Christain invite people to Islam.

The Muslim told the Christain so many things on how to propagate Islam. Then the Christain said, "Brother, other Muslims and you do a lot of work for propagating in Islam, but we don't do anything. People, including Muslim, follow us and help us to propagte Christain."

This saying made the Muslim so curious and ask the Christain, "Why?"

In reply:

Look brother! We don't have to talk or invite people to Christian because people are following us. Why? Just look at everything around your house, you have the TV, photo hung on the wall, and many things which are not permitted in Islam or it is not Islamic way of life. You see! You already have music in front of the door and that is the bell. So, your lifestyle is like us.

Moreover, people around the world, including Muslims, love to listen to music, watch TV, dress unIslamic clothes, take interest, etc. These lifestyle is not the lifestyle of the Prophet of Islam. That's why I said we don't do anything and people are following us because you and other people and Muslims are helping us to propagate Christain already."

After listen to this story, we should make a lot of Istighfar, and ask Allah for Hidaya and help us to follow our beloved Nabi Muhammad Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam's lifestyle.
