Dawah Through Actions When Rasulullah ﷺ and Zaid bin Haritha | Women of Sunnah

Dawah Through Actions


When Rasulullah ﷺ and Zaid bin Haritha رضي الله عنه were chased out by the people of At-Taif. They threw stones and rocks at them, so much so that Zaid bin Haritha رضي الله عنه was protecting Rasulullah ﷺ from his own body.
They were both given shelter by two Quraish men. The two men sent their servant named Addas, with some grapes to offer them to eat. Rasulullah ﷺ accepted the offer, and he said “Bismillah” (in the name of Allah) before eating. This word struck Addas’s mind since it was the term that was not used by the people of his area, and since he was a Christian, he was aware of this term.

From here, the conversation began between him and Rasulullah ﷺ he began asking Rasulullah is questions pertaining to prophets, and later on he accepted Islam.


If Rasulullah ﷺ hadn’t said “Bismillah”, Addas wouldn't have raised this query in his mind, and their conversation wouldn't have started. AllahuAlam!
We never know if our one small act of dawah can become a source of guidance for someone else. Don't be ashamed when it comes to practising your own deen in front of others. The act you underestimate might trigger someone in a positive way, and they may end up practising or accepting Islam.
