This weekend has seen (with the grace of Almighty Allah) a joint effort by the Myriad Foundation and Team Dawah Manchester delivering Dawah in a slightly different way. Due to recent events within France and the issue surrounding freedom of speech, Brothers within Manchester decided to deliver a ‘Freedom of Speech’ campaign. (Check out some of the pictures below) The campaign was designed to speak to the general public with the use of a short questionnaire finding out their views on whether they agree in freedom of speech, if freedom of speech should have restrictions. Also, the questionnaires were produced to promote a healthy dialogue between the brothers and the general public about whether they would consider it acceptable to draw cartoons of the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him), insulting almost 2 Billion Muslims. Alhamdulillah, the campaign was a huge success with over 20 Brothers coming out to speak to the general public with many wanting to share their views with the Brothers. Overall, we found the response of the public was also very positive and supportive of Muslims as some of the comments we received were: - The cartoons were very offensive - The cartoons went too far (past the limitations of freedom of speech) - Freedom of speech should have limitations e.g. it should be restricted when it causes offence to others - The cartoons should not have been published Following our short questionnaire, members of the public were given a gift in the form of a book on the life of the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him). InshaAllah, this will allow our Non-Muslim participants to truly see who the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) was. May Almighty Allah guide all those we spoke to, to the straight path, Ameen. Please don’t forget to ‘Like’ and ‘Share’ this with others. InshaAllah, we hope to have similar campaigns running in which we actively engage with the general public and find out their views. If you wish to join in on future campaigns, please contact us here or alternatively at: teamdawahmanchester@gmail. Jazakhallah Khairan, TDM.
