Praise be to Allah.Before

replying to this question, I would like to say how impressed I am with my

brother’s concern to call people to Allaah, using the developments in

computer science to further the mission of the Prophets and Messengers

(peace be upon them). May Allaah reward him with the best reward, and record

him among His righteous slaves. With regard to the question you asked:

The best way

to call this man and everyone else is that which is indicated in the

Qur’aan, where Allaah says (interpretation of the meaning):

“And

argue not with the people of the Scripture (Jews and Christians), unless it

be in (a way) that is better (with good words and in good manner, inviting

them to Islamic Monotheism with His Verses)”

[al-‘Ankaboot 29:46]

“Invite

(mankind, O Muhammad) to the way of your Lord (i.e. Islam) with wisdom (i.e.

with the Divine Revelation and the Qur’aan) and fair preaching, and argue

with them in a way that is better”

[al-Nahl

16:125]

And the

command which Allaah issued to His Prophet (peace and blessings of

Allaah be upon him) when He said (interpretation of the meaning):

“Say (O

Muhammad): O people of the Scripture (Jews and Christians): Come to a word

that is just between us and you, that we worship none but Allaah (Alone),

and that we associate no partners with Him, and that none of us shall take

others as lords besides Allaah”

[Aal

‘Imraan 3:64]

-Tell him about the innate

nature of man (fitrah) which predisposes man to believe in Tawheed or

the Oneness of Allaah, and how the doctrine of trinity contradicts that

innate human nature and common sense.

-Explain to him the status that

‘Eesa (Jesus – peace be upon him) and his mother have among the Muslims, and

that he is the slave of Allaah and His Messenger, and His Word which He

bestowed upon Maryam (Mary), and a soul created by Him.

-Explain to him that the

religion of Allaah is the same from Adam to Muhammad (peace and

blessings of Allaah be upon him), and that it is Islam. Tell him that the

differences are in the laws and that Muhammad (peace and blessings of

Allaah be upon him) is the Seal of the Prophets (i.e., the last of them) and

that his Book abrogates the rulings which came before and confirms the true

beliefs and stories that were mentioned in them.

-Answer his questions calmly,

and provide him, if necessary, with some of the books and tapes by Shaykh

Ahmad Deedaat.
