Summary/Abstract: The renewal of faith discourse relies on a set of tools to fulfill its role of approaching others, whether Muslim or non-Muslim. These tools contribute to spreading a moderate and correct understanding of faith, while also confronting outdated ideas that harm Islam and undermine the proper image of it. The more important ones include: reliance on orthodoxy, keeping faith discourse realistic, keeping it simple, clarifying the purpose, objecthood and proper use of modern technologies, connecting authenticity with modernity, setting priorities, harmonising faith discourse on major issues, spreading a culture of life, upbuilding and advancement, and confronting the idea of takfīr.
