• The Concept of Awareness Through Mosque Tours
• Da’wah Approach and Methodology : The paradigm Shift
• Chronological study of the mosque tour: A Da’wah    Perspective(Sandwich Technique)
•  Techniques of answering questions

The speaker emphasized that according to his opinion, all religions including Christianity, Judaism, Buddissm, Hindusim and the like  originated from the same source initially. However, as their teachings could not be recorded during the time of the prophets representing the various phases of the the same religion, the original message was greatly  changed due to the historical distance between the prophet and their message.  However, Islam, on the other hand, is the only religion whose teachings are still intact and encompass all aspects of a human being`s life.

By studying the teachings of various prophets it seems that the the basic message has always been the same in the Bible, Torah and the Quran, the book which was revealed to the last Messenger of Allah.  So, we as tour guides have to make our respected guests to the mosques feel at home and communicate with the message of tranquality, compassion and equality of mankind
