Every human being must accept the reason and the intellect. Atheists must accept rational evidence. Quran and Ahlul Bayt are the greatest everlasting evidence that Islam is The True word of Allah. Quranic facts are been confirmed by the non Muslim scientists and oublished in the books and on the scientific websites. Simply search for Quranic scientific miracles on google, and you will see amazing facts mentioned in Quran before more than 1400byears and confirmed today by leading scientists in different fields of science. Same is with statements of the Pro0het (SAWA) and Ahlul Bayt (AS). Those who respect their intellect and use it properly, accept that Islam is the Real message from God, Almighty to guide all of us.

You can invite them to read some of these amazing facts in Quran and Nahjul Balaghah and guide them to some websites like Al-Islam.org.

Wassalam.

Such practices are not a part of our Islamic culture, and we should preserve our Islamic ways as far as the method of courtship, interaction with opposite gender, and pursuing of marriage.

Getting to know each other, for purpose of marriage, is fine, as long as it is within the shar'i boundaries of Islam, with family approval, pure intentions and good moral conduct.

And Allah knows best

Abu Lahab's name is Abdul Ozza ibn Abdul Muttalib Ibn Hashim. He was a step brother of Abdullah, the father of the Prophet Muhammad (SAWA). He had bad relationship with Abu Talib which might be one of the reasons of his negative attitude against the Prophet (SAWA) who was fully supported by Abu Talib (AS). His wife was Um Jameel , from Bani Umayya family who were always against the Prophet and Abu Talib

 Obviously, his father Abdul Muttalib (AS) was a great believer and follower of Ebraheem (AS) but Abu Lahab was a bad and disobedient son of his father. His jealousy was behind his evil acts against the Prophet, keeping in mind his evil wife who was instigating him against the Prophet (SAWA).

'When the Prophet invited his near family members and informed and called them to Islam, then announced that Ali will be his successor and deputy, Abu Lahab tried to degrade Abu Talib (his opponent) by telling him in front of others: He (The Prophet) made your son above you لقد أمّر عليك ابنك

Allah (SWT) Has The Absolute Virtues like Absolute Knowledge of everything and Absolue Power and Absolute Wisdom and Absolute Mercy etc, while human being is full of weakness and with very limited knowledge, so how can Allah (SWT) become a human being??

How can The Absolute Powerful becomes weak? How can The Absolute Knowing becomes an ignorant??

Allah (SWT) is Above all our imaginations and we can never compare ourselves with Allah (SWT).

Islam did not come to force people to believe in it. Allah Says in Quran: The is compulsion in religion. (Sura 2, verse 256).

The Prophet Muhammad (SAWA) did not initiate wars on people to force the on Islam.

Wars during the government of Saqeefah rules were mostly politically motivated.

Ignatian discernment has been defined by many Christians as the weighing of facts and feelings about the several good choices which ultimately leads to a choice about what is the best fit for an individual. According to this definition, we don't object on it if the way of thinking and weighing facts is perfect. We as Muslims submit to the will of Allah and abide to it totally without any argument. This is based on the fact that Allah the Exalted  Creator Has the Absolute Knowledge, while human knowledge is always incomplete. That's why we submit to the will of Allah and our thinking and planning and practicing.

The presence of similarities with other religions does not invalidate Islam. As Muslims, we believe that everyone shares the same fitrah (inner nature) that guides us to what is right, so it is natural that many people will share common views, for instance, universal ethical principles. Also, human beings in general suffer from the same challenges, such as anger and greed, so most religions have ways of dealing with these things. We also benefit from similar spiritual practices such as fasting. We are all also dealing with the same spiritual realities, so it is natural that people across cultures will share similar views about spiritual realities. The Qur'an also says that Allah sent prophets too all peoples, to there should be some similarities. In general, the exterior of most religions differs, but the more spiritual or mystical part tends to be similar (for instance, a sense of love, cosmic unity, compassion ,and so forth).
