The question

What is the correct and convincing method for guiding people and conveying information in an understandable and accurate way, taking into consideration the noble Hadith: "Whoever calls to guidance will have a reward equal to the rewards of those who follow him, without diminishing their rewards in the slightest; and whoever calls to misguidance will bear sins equal to the sins of those who follow him, without diminishing their sins in the slightest"?

The answer

The Muslim who advises people should thoroughly learn what he intends to teach and present it well with the clearest expression and kindest manner, relying on gentleness and leniency, and purifying his intention for Allah Almighty. He should be patient with any harm that may befall him, repeating the advice without weariness, and mentioning verses from the Quran and authentic Hadith. If the addressed person insists on turning away, then let him know that guidance is in the hand of Allah Almighty, and that his (the advisor's) role is to convey and advise with wisdom. If he does what he is capable of, he is absolved of responsibility.
