As salamu alaikum wrwb everybody, I would like to mentionn here that even though this creativity is very very important one must know and stress usually and always, especially among people who recently accept Islam what the real priorities in situations are. To connect to people on a human level is more important in this case. Because of emphasis on these formalities in detriment of the priorities or the essence we muslims manage now and again to create formidable barriers between us and people and the Truth. Allah says he sent every prophet in the language of their community. Thus, we are effectively being and interacting with people as if it were on a different language… May Allah swt grant us wisdom and understanding.

Haha,I always find myself in awkward situations were a man reaches out to shake my hand and I don’t know what to do so I pretend I don’t see it. I will have to try the chocolate thing. Or when a male friend steps forward to give me a hug and I take a step back for every step he takes. its. so. awkward.

Wonderful one 

Creative ideas  Jazakallah Sister Maryam

Imam Suhaib Webb talks about an incident in one of his speech, He goes to a bank and meets the lady at the counter…lady was surprised to see his name as William Suhaib Webb , she asked about him and he replied that he is a revert etc..

The lady said she is also a muslim, and she wants to ask so many questions to him..She did not feel comfortable to ask with “so called Muslims”…she asked his email and the story goes on….

After the explanation of the story suhaib webb said “Even though I could not hug that sister, I Emotionally Hugged her”

This is the True Spirit of Sister-Brother Relationship in Islam

Mashallah. The phrase “emphasize on proffessional relationtionship through modest interaction between genders” is very creative means of da’wah.

In reply to Leah.

Leah,

I sometimes feel the same frustration and hurt because of other Muslims’ actions towards me or others. It’s just bad human character that is magnified simply because we hold so deeply that we should treat others more Prophetically and yet we’re so far from that sometimes.

I’ve written an article addressing something similar to this previously. It focuses on Muslim to Muslim, but I wrote it with a convert in mind.
