Asalamu aleykum

The first step would be to be a good friend and a good student. Be a role model in and out of school. Try very hard to do everything right.

Another step is to listen. Many times we are so eager to tell people what we know they need to know that we don't pay attention to their attempts to find out what they know they need to know.

If there are Muslim youth events in your area, you might invite him to one, so that he can meet a few Muslims.

If possible, invite him over for dinner.

When he asks questions about Islam, answer. If you don't know the answer, tell him you don't know, and then find out for him.

Insha'Allah, he will gradually become more interested, but even if he doesn't, having known you may help him to find his way later on.

I first met a Muslim when I was in college. He was the only Muslim I had ever known, and all he did for me, religiously, was to politely contrast my beliefs with his. I actually accepted Islam nine years later, but he was the one who got me interested in the subject to begin with, alhamdulillah.

Remember, you get thawab (a reward) for your intention, and more thawab for trying. The rest is up to Allah.

Many atheists call for a scientific information for the life of God. I agree that throughout the time of the present day is the age of technological awareness and technologies. enable us to apply scientific wisdom to kill 2 birds with one stone, i.e. to show the life of God and concurrently teach that the Qur’an is a revelation of God. If a sparkling merchandise or a gadget, which no one in the international has ever seen or heard of previously, is shown to an atheist or somebody and then a query is asked, " who's the 1st man or woman who would be waiting to grant info of the mechanism of this unknown merchandise? After little bit of questioning, he will respond, ‘the writer of that merchandise.’ some would say ‘the producer’ on an identical time as others would say ‘the producer.’ What ever answer the guy supplies, shop it on your innovations, the respond will continuously be the two the writer, the producer, the producer or some what of an identical meaning, i.e. the guy who has made it or created it. Doesn’t grapple with words, regardless of answer he supplies, the meaning would be comparable, consequently settle for it. So teach him scientific information of Islam which includes shape of Earth, Moon has contemplated gentle, each residing component is made out of Water, Mountains avert Earth from Shaking, Planets solar and Moon rotate and revolve in its very own axis, Embryology, discomfort Receptors in dermis and an incredible variety of greater. Then ask him 1400 years in the past technological awareness replaced into no longer so stepped forward that a man or woman can point out approximately it completely. So who would have pronounced it.

This is not for you to do. You should not try to make someone do anything. You can tell him about Islam and that is only if he wants to listen. Do not force Islam on him. Allah(SWT) shows those he wants the truth. It is up to him to decide if he wants to accept Islam. He is also young and possibly you trying to convert him could turn him off to Islam all together.Just be calm answer his question suggest some books but don't push..Inshallah he will see what is in his heart.

STOP IT!!!

This is the biggest problem with religion, that every one feels compelled to convert every one else.

Be happy in your beliefs and allow your friend to be happy in his.

Remember this though... you trying to convert him to Islam gives him every right and reason to try to educate you away from religion and into the realm of atheism. One thing I do know for sure... atheists won't send out hit squads and put a price on your head if you suddenly have a change of heart and want to follow a different 'religion' You leaving Islam is a sin punishable by death and there are those who would kill you just for that.

This question is an example of religion at its worst. People are killed every day because they won't 'convert' to the beliefs of those more powerful, and yet, those beliefs are supposed to be compassionate, loving and tolerant. I'm an Atheist because of people like you and those who've answered your call for help.

OK, first of all, you can't MAKE anyone believe something they don't want to. Have you considered that your atheist friend is perfectly happy with his/her beliefs? Go ahead and talk to you friends but don't expect them to convert. And pushing religion down someone's throat is one way to make them hesitant to listen to you. Just realize that your religion may be the best in your eyes but not others.

No REAL Atheist will convert to any phony religious system, and all the religions of the world are phony to a REAL Atheist.

Don't bother. Pushing him will only drive him away as a friend. He needs to make his own descisions, based on his own feelings.

Your religion isn't the only one in the world, and neither is his. Nor is there any reason to think that any of them is the "right" one.

Gee, how about respecting him and living in a way that is exemplary?

And praying to your God about it rather than bothering him. Trying to convert people is not only rude, but disrespectful. You're no friend if you can't accept him as he is.
