And who is better in speech than one who invites to Allah and does righteousness and says, “Indeed, I am of the Muslims.” Quran, 41: 33
As the Messenger ﷺ of God is reported to have said: “The one who guides to good gets the same reward as the one who performs it.”
MUSLIM
One who tries to preach goodness to others gets the same blessings from Allah SWT as if it has performed that deed. That is why; Dawah (Preaching Islam) is a highly respectful and fruitful deed being the way of the Prophets and their true advocates. The Holy Prophet ﷺ, while sending Hazrat Ali (R.A) on a mission of Kheybar, advised him to first call them towards the Religion of Peace. “By Allah, if Allah guides one person by you, it is better for you than the best types of camels.”
MUSLIM AND BUKHARI
Even one is in condition of a battle with non believers; one should first try to peacefully convince them towards the Message of Truth. Such is the great importance of treating disbelievers with good behavior while calling them towards Islam.
