They often engage in discussions and debates to counter criticisms of the religion, aiming to clarify misconceptions and highlight the positive aspects of Islamic teachings. These apologists may use various methods, including scholarly articles, public speaking, and social media, to reach a wider audience. They often emphasize the historical context of Quranic verses and the contributions of Muslim scholars throughout history to foster a better understanding of Islam in contemporary society.
