Daawa.

I really like this article. i am glad that i came across it. I have a question, is going to Muslims houses and knocking at their doors and inviting them to come to the mosque a good way to call people to the oneness of Allah? Or by going to different cities for days, staying in local mosques a good way to spread the religion?

The dawat-e-islam group is what you're thinking of there. They have 'kafla's in different towns inviting people to be better barelwis. Best form of dawa in my opinion is that of 'by example'. Rather than approaching people, let them approach you because of what they see you doing or how you do things. If you do voluntary work in your local community for example, sweep up the glass in the road on the way to the mosque, those sort of things will get you recognised and people will want to talk to you, at that stage you gently ease your view of thinking into what they're asking. My family are barelwis and slowly, over the last few years they are beginning to see the holes in their beliefs and the shirk is not so rampant. It is still there, but gently. Better that they make the decision themselves than you be a blunt instrument. This is my method, may or may not work for you.
