Charlotte, NC Imam Haroon Sait said in his December 6, 2024 sermon at the Muslim Community Center in Charlotte that America is a "gold mine" for da'wah, which is the act of calling people to Islam. He said that there are no restrictions on da'wah in the United States, unlike even an Islamic country like Saudi Arabia, and that neither Trump nor Biden could stop him for performing da'wah in the middle of Manhattan. He said that in 50 years, Islam will surpass Christianity in the United States, and he gave practical advice on how to preach Islam to Christians, declaring: "Approaching Christians with the message of Islam is the easiest thing to do."
Haroon Sait: "We are in a gold mine. This is the deep water, where if we have to launch big ships – Islam, da'wah of Islam [calling people to Islam] – this is a right, right place. No restrictions on da'wah. Even if you go to Saudi Arabia, you cannot do da'wah. You will be caught.
