To the OP: Let's try to strengthen our own imaan first and learn the deen ourselves before we go trying to openly make dawah in public (whether online or off). The best form of dawah is when one fully practices (or at least tries their best to practice) the deen and to submerge their life into the Sunnah of the Prophet , including having the best ikhlaaq (manners) with others. This kind of stuff makes an impact and sticks in people's heads, whether they admit it right then and there or not.

For example, the brother who was mentioned in this post... if you notice, he wasn't actively making dawah to this sister who was a co-worker of his. He was 'just' practicing the deen himself, he looked like a Muslim (beard etc), and he acted like a Muslim and wouldn't directly look at this sister, which intrigued her and she went researching online about why. At first she was upset thinking he thinks there is something wrong with her etc, but when she found out the reasons and what not, the rest is history. Allah made it all a source of hidayat for her and she accepted Islam. Allahu'Akbar.

Same concept applies to all brothers and sisters who look and act like Muslims in public, such as the way they dress, the way the sisters cover up with hijab/njiqaab etc, the way the brothers have beards, the way any Muslim wears Sunnah clothes, etc, and the way they act with every single person they come across during their daily routines, with kindness & compassion, with the best ikhlaaq, without compromising their deen... Insha'Allah that is all a form of dawah which we can be rewarded for by the Grace and Mercy of Allah ; and Insha'Allah any of that can intrigue a non-Muslim into learning more about Islam and also give our fellow Muslim brothers and sisters the much-needed push/nudge towards giving up their non-Islamic lifestyle and finally starting to worship our Creator and practicing His deen.



I've repented sincerely to Allaah for joining that site.


You have repented but have you deleted the account at the site in question? Also, you don't have to disclose the details of your sin, as that is disliked in our religion. If Allah kept your sin from becoming public, then you don't need to go do it yourself. I would delete that part of your post if I was you.

But I wish if some sisters of this forum would sign up there and would give Dawah to those sisters, that would be more beneficial. Though I understand your intentions are noble, that's a very bad idea. In Islam, the ends don't justify the means. For example, I cannot go inside a bar or a club and mingle with the people, maybe even end up having a few drinks myself, because I think I'm there to "make dawah". Same thing applies whether I go inside a strip club, a casino, a movie theater where filthy movies are being shown, etc, with the intention of 'making dawah'... it doesn't matter. The logic is faulty. Even if someone ends up accepting Islam with my so-called dawah at the bar, I highly doubt this would help save me from the fire... if anything, one would probably get closer to the fire by doing this. Allah knows best and may He protect us all, Ameen. What you're proposing is the same concept.
