The Unique Approach of Islam in Proselytizing
Islam takes a unique approach in proselytizing by inviting those who are knowledgeable about other religions. Instead of targeting the least knowledgeable individuals, Islam aims to engage and purify the most informed ones, contrary to some religions' practices of converting the vulnerable.
Expanding Islam Beyond Geographic and Ethnic Boundaries
Islam transcends geographical and ethnic borders, starting from the region of Hijaz and spreading globally during the Prophet Muhammad's time. The message of Islam extends beyond Arab territories, engaging with diverse cultures, nations, and learning institutions.
