In case you wonder why Muslims pay others to convert to Islam, Muhammad did it too, as we read in the following hadith. I'll post it here & after that, explain.

Narrated Abu Sa`id Al-Khudri:

When `Ali was in Yemen, he sent some gold in its ore to the Prophet.

The Prophet (ﷺ) distributed it among Al-Aqra' bin H`Abis Al-Hanzali who belonged to Bani Mujashi, 'Uyaina bin Badr Al-Fazari, 'Alqama bin 'Ulatha Al-`Amiri, who belonged to the Bani Kilab tribe and Zaid AI-Khail at-Ta'i who belonged to Bani Nabhan.

So the Quraish and the Ansar became angry and said, "He gives to the chiefs of Najd and leaves us!" The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "I just wanted to attract and unite their hearts (make them firm in Islam)."...

Sahih al-Bukhari 7432
In-book : Book 97, Hadith 59

USC-MSA web (English) : Vol. 9, Book 93, Hadith 527  (deprecated)
Sahih Bukhari

Well well, what do we have here? Muhammad paying Arab chiefs to make sure they come to Islam and stay with Islam?

Just asking, my muslim friends, will anyone really require this kinda endorsement to turn to the true path to God?

Can't you just prove your religion to be superior through apologetics, like followers of Dharmic religions do?

Now, this hadith is from Sahih al-Bukhari, so you can't say it's been fabricated.

So, what are you gonna do now, my muslim friends?
