A thoughtful discussion between Anwar al-Maghribi and a Christian about the true Islamic view of Isa (Jesus). In Islam, Jesus is a great Prophet and Messenger of Allah ﷻ, who taught the oneness of Allah ﷻ and His attributes. He is not divine or the son of Allah ﷻ.
Daʿwah and Invitation to Islam
The primary focus of dawah should be Tawhīd and exclusive devotion to Allah ﷻ, as taught by the Messengers ﷺ and the Salaf. Once Tawhīd is established, addressing sectarian deviations becomes easier. Salafism is not a slogan but a way of life based on the teachings of the Prophet ﷺ and the Pious Predecessors.

For debating Christians, Ibn Taymiyyah’s al-Jawāb al-Ṣaḥīḥ and its abridged version are essential. Other recommended works include Ibn Qayyim’s Hidāyat al-Ḥayārā and rebuttals by al-Qarāfī and al-Juwaynī. The Qurʾān itself remains the most powerful source for refuting false Christian claims.
Christianity
The claim that Jesus is Allah ﷻ because he was created from Allah’s ﷻ spirit is contradictory. The Qurʾān states that Allah ﷻ created Jesus through a divine breath given by an angel, and Adam was similarly created from clay with a divine breath. Therefore, creation through a breath does not make one divine, and the Christian argument is logically inconsistent.
Daʿwah and Invitation to Islam
Scholars differ on photography and video, but those who permit them without veneration consider using videos for dawah permissible. Even those who oppose images may allow it when there is an essential need, such as refuting false arguments, inviting people to Islam, or disassociating Islam from extremist groups.
Daʿwah and Invitation to Islam
Shaykh Sulayman Aba al-Khayl advises that da’wah in Western countries must be done wisely and legally, through official organizations. A caller must have strong knowledge, be gentle, choose the right time, and focus on personal reform. The goal is to invite people with wisdom and good manners.
Daʿwah and Invitation to Islam
This article explains the ruling on collaborating with groups that oppose the methodology of the Qurʾān and Sunnah in charitable work or daʿwah. Shaykh Ṣāliḥ ibn Fawzān al-Fawzān clarifies that such cooperation is considered helping one another in sin and injustice.
Christianity
Shaykh Salih al-Fawzan states that eating the meat of Jews and Christians is generally permissible because they are People of the Book. However, if it is known that they do not slaughter according to Islamic rules, then their meat becomes impermissible, just like a Muslim who does not follow proper slaughter.
Shahādah and New Muslims
Shaykh Muhammad ibn Hadi al-Madkhali recommends the book “What Must Be Known About Islam” for new Muslims. It covers basic ʿaqīdah and fiqh in simple, gradual levels. He suggests contacting Salafi Publications in Birmingham for guidance and translations.
Daʿwah and Invitation to Islam
Shaykh Salih al-Fawzan reminds Muslims that commanding good and preventing evil is everyone’s duty, not only the official bodies. Each person is responsible for their household and community according to their ability, even if it is only by rejecting evil in the heart.
Daʿwah and Invitation to Islam
Shaykh Salih Aal-Shaykh explains that sincerity is essential for a caller to Islam. A daʿī should avoid earning a salary tied to his work, but may accept support or an allowance from the community to help him continue the mission, as long as it is not conditional on his efforts.
