Striving to guide people is essential and religiously encouraged. It is permissible to give a Christian an English translation of the Quranic exegesis (), provided it is not accompanied by the Arabic text of the Holy Quran. However, the more preferable approach is to invite the Christian, engage in dialogue with him, recite the Quran to him, and translate it for him, then give him a translated Quran to ponder over.
