I am sure Nic you have not gone through these verses
We read in the Qur'an what means:
*{But if they turn aside, We have not sent you as a watcher over them; on you is only to deliver (the message); and surely when We make man taste mercy from Us, he rejoices thereat; and if an evil afflicts them on account of what their hands have already done, then surely man is ungrateful.}* (Ash-Shura 42:48)
All Muslims strongly believe that their duties in da`wah are limited to the conveyance of the message. They also believe that embracing Islam is due to guidance, which only occurs by the grace of Allah.
*{It is true you will not be able to guide everyone whom you love; but Allah guides those whom He will and He knows best those who receive guidance.}* (Al-Qasas 28:56)
Performing da`wah is governed by several guidelines. First, there is no compulsion in religion.
*{Let there be no compulsion in religion: Truth stands out clear from error: whoever rejects evil and believes in Allah has grasped the most trustworthy hand-hold, that never breaks. And Allah hears and knows all things.}* (Al-Baqarah 2:256)
Second, da`wah should be practiced with wisdom and the best preaching.
*{Invite (all) to the way of your Lord with wisdom and beautiful preaching; and argue with them in ways that are best and most gracious: for your Lord knows best who have strayed from His Path, and who receive guidance.}* (An-Nahl 16:125)
