Jum'ah Journal--Da'wah principles

The main principle for inviting people to Allah is laid down in Qur'an itself
"Invite (all) to the Way of thy Lord with wisdom and beautiful preachng and argue with them in ways that are best and most gracious......." S XVI, Verse 125
Of course such speach or 'preach' is not common to all and I feel only those who have that ability should engage in "da'wa" work. However, this is not to discourage those who are doing this duty. May Allah bless them
I wish to quote here which was sent to me by a friend and it is worth sharing.
The quote is extracted from the speech of Lord Sacks (chief Rabbi of London) who was welcoming the (recent) Pope. He said

"We celebrate both our commonalities and differences because if we had nothing in common we could not communicate and if we had everything in common we would have nothing to say....."

Very good, we need to enlarge it to encompass all three Abrahamic faiths
