#WHY_MUSLIMS_CALL_OTHERS_TO_ISLAM Islam is a religion that not only holds all of the answers to life’s big questions but it is also inclusive in that there are no restrictions on who can be a Muslim. Islam is a religion for all places, all time and all people. No one can be barred from learning the truth no matter what their religious background is, or what ethnicity or nationality they belong to. Once a person is a Muslim, he or she is fully equal to every other Muslim and it does not matter where they are from, what they look like or what the state of their lives and hearts was before they embraced Islam. The truth about God and His purpose for us, His creation, is something everybody should have access to. Thus those of us who know are obligated, that is commanded by God, to tell others. Let there be a group among you who call others to good, and enjoin what is right, and forbid what is wrong: those who do this shall be successful.(Quran 3:104) Call to the way of your Lord with wisdom and fair preaching, and argue with them in the best manner possible…(Quran 16:125) Most people want to spread the exciting news about Islam and at the same time fulfil the commands of God. The scholars of Islam agree that calling others to the way of God is a communal obligation, that is that every believer should undertake this great work, however if in a particular place there are a sufficient number of people doing this, the others are released from this obligation.
