Muslims: If you were given a chance to give ...?

Muslims: If you were given a chance to give ...?

Aslaaam Alikum dear sisters and brother, hope everyone is doing great inshAllah (^_^)

If you were given a chance to give Da'wa [Preaching] to 1000 Atheists, how would you convince them the existence of Allah?

~~Remember: Their beliefs come from science. Would you quote Quranic verses that scientists have proved?

What are the tactics you will be using to convince some of them?

May Allah be pleased with us all both in this life and in the hereafter Amin

Salam~

    Salam.

    "Remember: Their beliefs come from science." Uh No it actually doesn't. The Most Important, again, The MOST Important step is to actually teach them what the true principles of Science and Logic are, as opposed to the pseudo-science (fake science) they believe in.

    They are actually the ones who believe in the personal opinions of Some scientists and think that is science. (a Subjective Intepretation of otherwise/overtly Objective analysis...Shaytan has fooled them well)

    Apart from that, Allah swt has given us clear ways of arguing with atheists. One of the most clear set of ayaat :

    أَمْ خُلِقُوا مِنْ غَيْرِ شَيْءٍ أَمْ هُمُ الْخَالِقُونَ [٥٢:٣٥]

    52:35. Were they created by nothing, or were they themselves the creators?

    أَمْ خَلَقُوا السَّمَاوَاتِ وَالْأَرْضَ ۚ بَل لَّا يُوقِنُونَ [٥٢:٣٦]

    52:36. Or did they create the heavens and the earth? Nay, but they have no firm Belief.

    And BTW, it is Unwise to discuss Probability with them. Firstly, because if they accept islam out of the probability that it might be More right than their view, that's not certain belief anyway. (Its like precautionary worship). Secondly, they always come back with, well, I might as well enjoy this life because then at least I am guaranteed some enjoyment. And thirdly, the Prophets (as) didn't give da'wah from the view of Probability (Pascal's Wager), from what is in Qur'an/Sunnah, I believe...Except in a significantly different way than Pascal's Wager (which we can discuss).

    We must use Wisdom in our da'wah. (Also, I will add, it is Not a good idea to be involved in too much discussion with Atheists unless your own beliefs are Very Strong, with Very Strong Proofs. Because their way of illogical thinking can affect you, cause doubts. And doubts = Kufr. So be aware) Allah swt knows best. Wassalam.

    EDIT : "Btw, this doesn't mean i will give you BA since you like them a lot"

    Not giving me BA is Injustice. Allah swt Commanded you to be just ! Don't wrong yourself please :) Give the BA to whoever you want, but learn from what I say, and teach it to others. In this and my other answers. Wassalam.

    Wa alaykum assalam ya muslimah

    I'd give them 10000 true blue muslimssuch are you self to live in a business relationship with and experience how muslims treat one another in business.

    I get that example from Yusuf Estes's speech about how he converted to Islam, and how the early muslims did business with other people and were the first to spread islam.

    You cannot prove to an atheist any thing in logic, since they follow their teachers, other than the logic of mercy. Their belief doesn't come from science, since it was from the quran that the early muslims derived the scientific methods.

    use embryology or the big bang theory from the quran.prove the quran

    everyone has his own language.try finding out that first and only then make dawa.i heard khalid yaseen has a great school of dawa..or something like it.

    With atheists you can either use logic

    either tell them that whoever is in the ocean surrounded by sharks,he Does look UP and pray to One God...that it his fitra...

    ....:D im out of ideas...

    In Quran Moon and Sun..swim in course...but not the earth...Quran is Geocentric and been proved in Hadith..

    Man Made..

    muslims can twist and change arabic words they want..but the truth hurts...their following a religion created by man and they are ready to die for it..pity..but i think we can save some of them..some who want the escape the cult of islam..

    another INTELLIGENT logic from Allah

    52:35. Were they created by nothing, or were they themselves the creators?

    52:36. Or did they create the heavens and the earth? Nay, but they have no firm Belief

    atheist don't believe in GOD in the every religion man have created (Quran,Bible,Torah etc)...because it has no evidence and the text is quite clear that it's created by a man(scientific errors)

    atheist is trying to find what really happens based on evidence and not on blind faith..

    not because we don't believe in a creator based on your faith it doesn't mean we are the creator..we have to search for it..we start from zero and don't rely on religious books..

    the job of a muslim is not to convince people. its to convey to them the message.

    their Eman is in hands of Allah and Allah is the guide. not us.

    Rasoolullah wasn't sent to "convert" people. He was sent to tell them the message.

    salam alaikom.

    I would convert them like this: If a person stands behind a door so you can not see them, do they not exist?

    Also, they believe that life started with atoms, but who put those atoms there?
