O Messenger! Deliver What Has Been Revealed To You From Your Lord
(Surah Al-Maida V:67)

Invite to the way of your Lord with wisdom and good instruction, and argue with them in a way that is best. Indeed, your Lord is most knowing of who has strayed from His way, and He is most knowing of who is [rightly] guided. (Surah An Nahl V.125)
