Here are some thoughts on the topic from Islam perspective 🏵️🏵️

Islam is based on the teachings of the Quran and Hadith.
These sources guide Muslims on how to navigate religious practices, including the propagation of Islamic faith to non-believers or those with different beliefs.
The Quran encourages Muslims to share the message of the Quran with others and engage peacefully in religious discussions.

However, Islam emphasizes respect and kindness towards others, even those with different beliefs.
The Quran states, "Invite to the way of your Lord with wisdom and good instruction, and argue with them in a way that is best" (16:125).
This verse highlights the importance of wise and respectful communication.

Regarding the notion of forceful conversion or coercion, the Quran asserts that "There is no compulsion in religion" (2:256).
The Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) said, "Religion is very easy, and whoever overburdens himself in his religion will not be able to continue in that way" (Sahih Bukhari, 39).

Islam encourages the respectful exchange of information and ideas on matters of faith.
The Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) stated, "Exchange gifts with one another, for they remove ill feelings from the hearts" (Tirmidhi, 2035).
This Hadith highlights the importance of building peaceful relationships and removing animosity.

In the end, Islam endorses the sharing of the message of faith through wise and respectful communication.
Islamic teachings emphasize the importance of individual autonomy and freedom of choice in religious matters.
This is evident in the Quranic verse, "There is no compulsion in religion" (2:256), and in the Prophet Muhammad's (peace be upon him) message of the easy nature of religion and the importance of building peaceful relationships.
