DIFFERENT METHODS OF

COMMUNICATING RELIGION

1. Combined oral and written presentations
Sulayman (as) wrote a letter introducing religion to the
Queen of Sheba (Surat an-Naml: 28). To inform people
about Allah’s religion in today’s world, written communica-
tion is absolutely necessary. For this purpose, letters can
be sent and books, newspaper, and magazine articles can
be written singly or as a series. This method is effective,
since being permanent, books and articles can be read
and reread.

2. Mass communication

As well as presenting religion to the leaders of society,
Musa (as) brought all the people together to tell them about
Allah’s religion (Surah Ta Ha: 59 and Surat ash-Shu‘ara’:
39). Today, believers must use all methods of mass com-
munication (e.g., press, radio, television, letters, books,
and the Internet) to reach all segments of society.
