Reciting the Qur'an to non-Muslims

Q 5: Is it permissible to invite Christians to read the translation of the meanings of the Noble Qur’an although they may be ritually impure, hoping that Allah may guide them to Islam?


(Part No. 4; Page No. 62)  A: Da‘wah (calling people to believe in and worship Allah) is the way of messengers. Allah (Exalted be He) says: Say (O Muhammad صلى الله عليه و سلم): "This is my way; I invite unto Allâh (i.e. to the Oneness of Allâh - Islâmic Monotheism) with sure knowledge, I and whosoever follows me (also must invite others to Allâh i.e. to the Oneness of Allâh - Islâmic Monotheism with sure knowledge). And Glorified and Exalted be Allâh (above all that they associate as partners with Him). And I am not of the Mushrikûn (polytheists, pagans, idolaters and disbelievers in the Oneness of Allâh; those who worship others along with Allâh or set up rivals or partners to Allâh)." Muslims giving Christians copies of the translation of the meanings of the Noble Qur’an is considered a form of Da‘wah, and there is nothing wrong with this.May Allah grant us success. May peace and blessings be upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and Companions.
