Description
Summary:This book is a study of the various barriers and difficulties in communicating the message of Islam to the non-Muslim Chinese in Malaysia and to find out the historical, political, economical, cultural differences between non-Muslim Chinese way of life and the Islamic way of life. It also analyzes the fears of Chinese and Malays in the ethnic relationship as minority and majority groups. In addition, the ways of preaching by the Prophet Muhammad in Mecca and the difficulties he encountered and the objections of non-Muslims in the Prophetic era were taken as examples to compare with the multi-religious situation in Malaysia.
