Assalaamu alaykum all,


I'm hoping someone would be able to point me in the right direction. A girl I know is interested in becoming Muslim. However initially she didn't want to choose a school of thought and was still in the 'thinking about it' stage. She has since been sort of scared off by the recent protests in our city re the youtube movie as the protests got very violent and ugly on behalf of some 'brothers' (Wahhabi really).

I was thinking that to combat this, it seems time to re-introduce her to Islam through our own resources (Shi'a) as the only Muslim friend she has did not do this as they didn't know how to go about it and asked me to talk to her. If I do it that way, I'm hoping that she can see that what she saw on TV is not Islam and she can see the beauty of Ahlul Bayt, etc.

My main issues are that a) her English really isn't that good so she wants resources in Chinese. And I've never done this before so what sort of things should I look for? I have books but no idea if they're suitable for possible reverts as before I reverted, I mostly spoke to people and attended lectures so didn't really read introductory books.

Does anyone know how to find Chinese resources? I've looked online but haven't seen anything.

Many thanks in advance.

I can't help you with the Chinese resources, but I would suggest that you explain that Osama bin Laden, Saddam Hussein, these murderers, as well as nearly all of the "Islamic extremist terrorists" are Sunnis.  That might help calm her fears about "Islam".

e3laykum salam,

Good Luck on that brother and i want to say u a hadith i dont remeber if it was the prophet mohamed ) or Imam Ali who said this but is said that "when you convert someome on the islam u got as much hassanat as the sun who rise every day and who give light to everone". Sorry I don't rlly know it well. I hope that a brother or sister could say it better than me.

I really hope that you succes. It is a really difficult task but it brings a lot of hasanat.

Allah ysse3adak

Have a nice day.

I would say, refer the Quran as much as possible for now. once she starts to understand the true beauty of Islam through the quran then start mentioning Hadith.I am sure a chinese translation of the Quran won't be hard to find. :S
i hope you succeed best of luck
