When
we want a person to join our front, we should go closer to him and negotiate
him, keeping in our minds his tendencies and mental faculties, and to win his
sympathy by extending our co-operation to him in his personal grievances,
provided he likes such a gesture from you because service and cardiac
attachment are such a function that lays down the foundation of friendship
inadvertently. Propagate your religion but tactfully and judiciously. Don't
attack directly on the tenets to which he is adherent. Your initial move should
be around winning his sympathy and confidence. To achieve this goal, you should
lend him a helping hand. When he reposes his trust in you, please start advising
him in a Luscious and attractive style. If he counter-attacks you with some
questions, satisfy him with your answers to your best. While talking to your
addressee, don't ignore his mental capacity and as gush, don't waste your
propagational talents through hasty, idiotic and irritative attitude. Converse
with every individual, every group and every class within their thinking range
and according to their ability and mental capacity and social position. Your
propagational campaign should he laid down on to those points which are the
conflict of your viewpoints and viewpoints of your addressee with mutual
understanding and amenity. If you criticize, it should be constructive and
indicative of your sincerity and love. Keep your image unmaligned with the sentiments
of obduracy and obstinacy, hatred and bigotism. If you feel such sentiments
emanating in your mind, lock your mouth and bid adieu to that sitting.
Allah
says:
"
Call to the way of your Lord with
sapience and fair exhortation and argue with them in the batter way".
It
is narrated by Hazrat Anas (R.A.) that the Prophet (P.B.U.H.) advised him
emphatically saying:
"O Anas: When you enter your house, greet
your family. It shall invoke the benediction for you and for your family.
"
Asma
D/o Yazeed says : I was sitting with some ladies and when the prophet (P.B.U.H)
passed by us, he greeted us.
Hazrat
Umme Hani says : I came to Prophet (P.B.U.H.) and greeted him. He questioned
about me and when I introduced myself, he welcomed me.
Our Prophet (P.B.U.H.) told:
" May I indicate you such a thing. whereby
your mutual love and affection shall increase. Disseminate the greeting among
you."
He
(P.B.U.H.) also ordered
" Disseminate the Salaam (greeting) and you
will be secured by Allah. "
A
Muslim's right to his brother is to greet him whenever he meets him. The
Prophet (P.B.U.H.) was greeting so more-often that when his followers
disappeared if any tree came in between them, He (P.B.U.H.) used to greet them
as soon as they made their appearance.
The
Prophet (P.B.U.H.) said:
"The best of you (both) who greets
first".
He
( P.B.U.H) also said:
"It is not decent for a Muslim to disconnect
his brother for more than three days. When they meet, one turns his face in
this direction and the other turns his face in that direction. while the best
of them (both) who greets first".
Greet
vocally and loudly so that it may be audible to the greeted person. If you signal either your
hand or head while greeting, if situation so warranted it is not unfair. This
is on the presumption that the greeted person is so far from you that you think
your voice out of his hearing range, or the greeted person is deaf and he can't
hear your voice. Then you can signal with greeting.

Dedicated to those scientists, who are inching towards the cognizance of the facts, spotlighted by Allah Almighty, in the wake of their intelligent observation for the top vertex of scientific achievement, which is not other than the "Disastrous end of the Universe". And this is probably during 15th century of Lunar calendar.
