Piyari Ustazah,
السلام علیکم و رحمۃ اللہ و برکٰۃ
Today after listening to Surah Fatir explanation i feel there are many ways to call people to Allah swt. I remember once you answered a phone call and do dawah to him about Islam. I loved the way simple and without any pressure. Today when i was checking my emails i saw three emails which were selling some product line or offering something. We know that if an email is without Salam its not from a Muslim and if it is from a Muslim may be he needs some reminders.
So i wrote a brief introduction of Islam as a reply so at least they will read it. Please see and guide me how to improve it more :) so i can email.

In the name of Allah to the one who seeks guidance.
I invite you to accept Islam as your religion and believe there is no god but Allah and Muhammad (peace and blessing upon him) is the last messenger and Prophet of Allah.
What is Islam?
Islam means total willing submission to Allah only One True God.
1. He is Allah, the one and only; 2. Allah, the Eternal, Absolute; 3. He begetteth not, nor is He begotten;
4. and there is none like unto Him.
Islam is not the religion of Arabs, rather it is a universal religion. Muslims come from different races and ethnic backgrounds.
Islam is a major religion in the world supply facts and figures (i.e., 1.2 billion worldwide, one quarter of the world’s population).
Islam is not a new religion; it was preached by all prophets of Allah. Muslims believe and respect all Prophets Adam, Abraham, David, Solomon, Jacob, Joseph, Moses and Jesus.
The true meaning of Islam, peace and safety for all people: “The true Muslim is he from whose hand and tongue people are safe.” (teaching of our prophet)
Qur’an our holy book is Allah’s Word, His last Message of guidance to mankind.
There are two pure sources of Islam, Qur’an and Sunnah, to obtain a good understanding of it.
All people are equal in Islam.
Islam is the religion of ease and tolerance; no soul is charged with more than it can bear.
Every man’s personal responsibility is for himself, and we all are answerable for all our deeds on the Day of Judgment. In Islam no soul will be questioned about the misdeeds of another soul.
Islam is an integrated way of life that satisfies man’s both physical and spiritual needs.
The Islamic social and economic system offers solutions to problems of modern societies such as poverty, violence, homelessness, crimes, sexually-transmitted diseases, spouse abuse, child abuse, drug use and family disintegration. According to UN statistics, the crime rates in states that apply Islamic laws are the lowest in the world.
Muslim communities in North America and Europe have the lowest incidents in teenager’s problems, violence, crimes, drug abuse, child abuse and family disintegration.
Women are elevated in Islam and their rights are protected. Stress that any women from the west have accepted Islam and are pleased with it as a way of life.
Islam is the fastest growing religion in North America and around the world. Many people around the world have accepted it, in spite of the adverse conditions in Muslim countries.
