I feel it’s just as important to reach out to non muslims as it to muslims. We are blessed to have been raised as muslims, we are already on the path, we know where to seek further knowledge.

I feel that too, it always feels so good to listen to reverts whose life changed after Islam and they are usually so grateful to whoever pointed them into the right direction. If there is any opportunity to reach out to a non-Muslim we should be doing it. This one british guy at uni converted simply because someone who knew him, gave him a translated english Quran as a gift. he was as far off Islam as one could be, one of those goth types and yet he accepted Islam. Goes to show that even little things we do can have a great effect. If anything reaching out to non-Muslims might be more important because you don’t know if they will ever get the opportunity to learn the truth, while with your fellow Muslims you know that they are already aware of Islam.

Guiding one’s own muslim brothers is also a duty at the same time but unfortunately we never do it, particularly because there is a fear of offending someone and sometimes because it might feel hypocritical when you yourself are not a model Muslim.
