Ashraf Schneider – Dawah Training #7 – Initiation

In this 7th episode of our 12 part series, Dawah Training, we discuss how to initiate a conversation with someone.

1 Passive Initiation

  • Passive initiation is when you are approached regarding Islam
  • Foundation building – premise of truth (see episode 4: Downfall of Dawah)

2 Active Initiation

  • Approaching people to give dawah
  • Engaging etiquette – Character, courtesy, etc.(episode 4)
  • Greeting
  • Opening introduction
  • Direct questions
  • Indirect questions – elicit broader discussion to better understand the person and their beliefs (episode 6)
  • Example: ‘life’s purpose’ conversation
