When You Don't Know

When some people accept Islam, they might be quick to get involved in ‘dawah’ - ‘propagation’ and inviting others to Islam and encouraging people to follow them in their new way of life. They also might start having religious discussions and debates with their friends, family, colleagues and other people they meet. This can sometimes result in the new muslim being bombarded with questions they can’t answer or even escalate to arguments and confrontations. And because the revert strongly believes that Islam is the truth and they want to defend it and not be ‘defeated’ in argument or remain silent when asked questions, they might be tempted to say things about Islam, without actually knowing whether it’s true or not or to say things they aren’t sure about. In this episode I speak about what a muslim should do when they're asked questions they don't know the answer to.
