10 Ways to do Da'wah from the comfort of your home

If youve always wanted to be a Daiyah; to invite people to the Truth, but felt you dont have time,then you better take a fresh look at Dawah! Check out these 10 ideas and make your home a Dawahhub.

1. Bake a cake for your neighbors

Its amazing what effect reaching out to our neighbors can have. A simple gesture such asbaking a cake for them can really change their perception of Islam and Muslims. It is those little

day-to-day interactions that make people think twice about how Islam is often portrayed in the media.

The Prophet Muhammad PBUH (sallallahu alaihi wa sallam) said: O Muslim Women, do not think thatany gift is too insignificant to give to a neighbor, even if it is only a sheeps foot [Reported byBukhari and Muslim] , ,

2. Start a Blog.

Even if its to write about an aayah of the Quran that has affected you, having a web presence is aneffective Dawah tool. Every time someone Googles: Islam, they are met with a plethora of linksmany of which misrepresent Islam. So your web presence means that people are more likely to comeacross correct information about Islam.The Prophet PBUH(sallallahu alaihi wa sallam) said: Convey (my message) from me, even if it is oneaayah [Reported by Bukhari]

3. Phone or write to a friend.

Supporting our sisters in Islam is also Dawah because while you chat you can help renew a sistersEaman, give her some timely advice regarding something shes worried about, and remind her tohave Sabr, which all come under enjoining the good.

flocks. A leader is a shepherd and is responsible for his flock. A man is a shepherd over his family andis responsible for his flock. A woman is the shepherd in the house of her husband and is responsiblefor her flock [Reported by Bukhari]
