> Members listen up: Lets begin the Automated Dawah Project

[Qatada]

asalam alykum

We had the idea of an Automated Dawah tool (a questionnaire/hyperlinks) which would involve the members of this site, but it didnt begin.

This tool could be linked to by people who are less knowledgable to give to non muslims, aswell as to learn themselves.


So i really hope that we can start it soon, and anyone who becomes muslim through it - u will get reward for that.

Bro Hasan, Abdul Fattah (atheism), Habeshi (xtianity), salman (anti islamic replies) etc.


All you need to do is write questions (FAQs) that come to a person from that religion, and answer them. Post them in 1 thread each of your own.

Then we can put them in a questionnaire format for automated dawah and improve as we get more feedback and experience.

asallam alikum

subhanallah, i was thinking of this idea also ^-^. And i cant wait till we get started.
Brother Qatadah if your making a blog it would be easier.

[Aayah]

Actually I was wondering what happened to this project and the database project, I saw you brothers very quiet about them lately! so I thought you stop working on them !!

May Allah grant you success!!

[Qatada]

asalaam alaikum warahmatulah wabarakatuh

This would be an Automated Dawah project.

I.e.

Question: Are you Atheist, Agnostic, or Theist?

- Agnostic
- Atheist
- Theist


If they click on Atheist, it moves onto further atheistic questions and Islamic replies.

If they click another - it moves onto further questions and answers for the other groups.

Insha' Allah this project will continue.


If anyones interested, please mention which field of the dawah you would want to get involved in. Barak Allahu feekum.

[Sensationnz]

Sallamalikum

Br. Qatadah I have loads of questions from atheists, that are answered by br.Abdul Fatah in my inbox.

There are maybe 40-50 arguments by atheist, I can share it if you would like. It may benefit other brothers who are asked the same question.

[Qatada]

asalam alykum

Yeh plz, make one thread with all the replies in the atheist section.

[Qatada]

asalaam alaikum warahmatulah wabarakatuh


I'm just coming up with ideas yet, see this link on what i've done as a site;

Tell me what you think?

[Hassan_Abd_Allah]

assalamu 'alaikum akhee

Im kinda busy but I guess this wont kill that much time considering the multitude of ways I waste my time in :D

plus the rewards from Allah is also something to stop and consider inshAllah :)

Im gonna do what I can and pray for the success of this project

Btw bruh, Why dont I(I mean im seekin permission for myself) post the questions now and the answers later? Cuz formulating answers for a project of this caliber could use some work. We could just copy paste from here and there, that would work too but Im looking for a bit more perfection in this issue.

Although Ive never been able to help you in the past this time I promise my help inshAllah

assalamu 'alaikum, jazak allahu khair, jum'ah Mubarak and LOTS OF LOVE FOR THE SAKE OF ALLAH xxxxxxxxxx

[Qatada]

asalaam alaikum warahmatulah wabarakatuh


We need to work our way upwards from the basics. So it has to start from the basis of a person's beliefs, and then work upwards and get more and more specific as they answer the questions to remove their doubts.

It can't just be a bunch of questions and answers which are in a random order.



jazak Allah for the support and prayers :)

[Abdul-Fattah]

Aselam aleykum
Took me some hours, but think I got a good rough layout inshaAllah:
First some opinions:
- I think it's important to focus on clasifying first, and then add comments later on in development of project.
- We should always leave room for improvement trough feedback sections.
- I envisioned it so, that when getting to the final steps in pin-pointing the class of atheist/agnostic, they would be presented with a list of checkboxes rather then clickable links, and that submitting this form will provide a mixed page with replies to all of the checked boxes.
- I didn't expand into the different religions, I'll leave that to somebody else inshaAllah.

MashaAllah; may Allah continue to guide you and allow the community to benefit from your knowledge. If you wish, please help us by suggesting how we can expand our program => [feedback]

[feedback]
We try our best to adress any issue people might have with Islam; but due to the complexity of things, and the variety of issues and misunderstandings people might have, it is not evident to make a universal program. If you feel in any questions your viewpoints weren't represented or responded, you can help us by telling us exactly what that viewponit is, and why you think it isn't properly adressed. => [submitbox] => [end]

I hope you benefited from our automated Islamic dawah project.

If we made you somewhat curious towards Islam, you can always find more articles on these websites. => [links]

PS:
The clasifications between [brackets] will/should not be visable to people running the program/ visiting the site inshaAllah.

PPS:
Although the skeleton layout is very linear, I think there'l have to be many crossreferences in the actual arguments.

PPPS: InshaAllah I'll make some time soon to start adding arguments.

PPPPS: since brother qatadah seems to have a preference for a website with links, rather then a program, we could use hide/show function insetad of "tick the boxes with arguments"
