approval. Those being called to Islam must understand
that they are doing no one a favor when they become
Muslim, for this causes them to see themselves as very
valuable, when such is not really the case. They must
understand the falsity of self-praise and that, because of
their unbelieving worldview, they are standing on the edge
of the abyss. The only way to eternal salvation is Islam. For
that reason, believers who have called them to Islam are,
in fact, a very great blessing.
The fact that believers take an interest in others is in
itself an honor. Unbelievers should be made aware of this,
and of how Allah has blessed them by letting them hear
about Islam. They must realize that the believers are
preaching Islam because they have been charged with
calling everyone to eternal salvation and warning them
about Hell. If the unbelievers can transcend their society’s
worldview and norms and begin to respect and trust the
believers, then they can be told about the real issue: the
facts that Allah reveals in the Qur’an. That is because these
preparatory measures that impart this trust are intended to
make it easier for the other party to comprehend the faith.
