Answer:
Give quran to non
muslim
In the name of Allah, We praise Him, seek His
help and ask for His forgiveness. Whoever Allah guides none can misguide,
and whoever He allows to fall astray, none can guide them aright. We bear
witness that there is none worthy of worship but Allah Alone, and we bear
witness that Muhammad (saws) is His slave-servant and the seal of His
Messengers.
May Allah Subhanah reward you with the best of this world
and the Hereafter for your kind comments of encouragement for our humble
efforts in the propagation of the Truth.
If our humble and modest efforts have helped even one brother or sister
get closer to Allah and His Deen of Truth, then we would consider ourselves
indeed fortunate to have been given this opportunity by the Lord Most Merciful
to serve in His Cause. We hope, beg, and
pray the Merciful Lord accepts our humble and weak efforts, forgives us our
shortcomings, and saves you, us, and all the believers from the torment of the
Hell Fire. Ameen.

Question: ….my main question is that i have a christian colleague who is more

One of the absolute best ways to invite a disbeliever to
the Truth of Islam is to give them a copy of the translation of the Glorious
Quran in the language they understand best.
The Messenger of Allah (saws) himself wrote some verses from the
Glorious Quran in the letters he (saws) sent with his emissaries to the various
disbelieving leaders surrounding Arabia in his efforts to invite them to the
Truth of Al-Islam.
The guidance and condition of touching the Glorious Quran
only when one is pure is applicable only for the believers, not for the
disbelievers. The scholars and the jurists in Islam are unanimous in their
opinion that there is absolutely no harm if one gives a copy of the Glorious
Quran to their disbelieving brethren in their efforts to invite them to the
Truth of Islam. And Allah Alone Knows
Best.
Allah says in the Holy Quran Chapter 2 Surah
Baqarah verse 185:
Ramadan is the month in which the Quran was sent
down: this Book is a Perfect Guidance
for mankind and consists of clear Teachings which show the
Allah says in the Holy Quran Chapter 6 Surah
Anam verse 70:
And leave alone those who have taken their
‘deen’ as a sport and past-time, and
have been deluded by the life of this world.
Nevertheless, you go on admonishing them by reciting the Quran
to them, lest any person should
be seized because of his own deeds; and
that too, at a time, when there would be no protector, no helper and no intercessor to rescue him
from Allah; when no conceivable amount
of ransom would be accepted from him. This is because such people shall be seized,
in consequence of what they themselves had earned.
Allah says in the Holy Quran Chapter 19 Surah
Maryam verse 97:
O Mohamed, We have made this Quran easy, and sent it down in your tongue so that you
should give good news to the pious and
warn the stubborn people.
Allah says in the Holy Quran Chapter 4 Surah
Nisaa verse 82:
Do they
(the disbelievers) not ponder over the Quran? Had it been from any other than Allah, surely there would have been many contradictions
in it.
Allah says in the Holy Quran Chapter 6 Surah
Anaam verse 157-158:
Now that a clear proof, a Guidance and Blessing, has come to you from
your Lord, who can be more unjust than the one who treats Our Revelations as
false and turns away from them?
We will inflict the severest torment on those who turn away from Our
Revelations because of their aversion.
Do the people now await that the angels should come down before them? Or that your Lord may Himself come down? Or that the manifest Signs of your Lord
should appear?
Allah says in the Holy Quran Chapter 14 Surah
Ibrahim verses 1-2:
This is
a Book which We have sent down to you (O Prophet) that you may bring
mankind, by the help of their Lord, out of the dark ways (of ignorance) into the
Light (of knowledge), to the Way of that
Lord, Who is All Powerful, and inherently All Praiseworthy, and the Owner of whatever is in the heavens
and the earth.
Allah says in the Holy Quran Chapter 16 Surah
Nahl verse 44:
We sent the former Messengers with clear signs
and Books, and now We have sent the
Admonition to you (O Prophet), so that you should make plain and
explain to the people the teachings of the Book, which has been sent for them, and so they
should (themselves) ponder over it.
Allah says in the Holy Quran Chapter 20 Surah
Taha verse 113:
Thus have We sent this down as an Arabic
Quran, and have given therein warnings
in various ways; so that they may be saved from perverseness, or that this may help arouse understanding in
them.
In light of the guidance of the above quoted evidence from
the Glorious Quran it is evident that the Quran is not for the believers alone,
but its guidance is for all of mankind in general.
Whatever written of Truth and benefit is only
due to Allah’s Assistance and Guidance, and whatever of error is of me
alone. Allah Alone Knows Best and He is
the Only Source of Strength.

well wisher in Islam,
