The answer

For da'wah (inviting to Islam), the da'i (preacher) must embody Islam in his character and conduct to be a good role model, and invite others through his actions before his words.

He must build a scientific foundation of knowledge about Islam to understand his religion and its rulings, and to compare it with other religions.

Among the useful books is: "Islam: Its Reality, Laws, Beliefs, and Systems" by Muhammad ibn Ibrahim Al-Hamad.

Books on comparative religions vary depending on the religion, and many of them relate to Christianity.

Among the older books are: "The Correct Answer to Those Who Changed the Religion of Christ" by Ibn Taymiyyah, and "Guidance for the Perplexed in Answering Jews and Christians" by Ibn al-Qayyim.

Among contemporary books is: "Izhar al-Haqq" (The Manifestation of Truth) by Muhammad Rahmatullah al-Hindi.

It is recommended to read the lecture "Introduction to the Study of Religions" by Dr. Sultan Al-Omairi.
