we all know how Important it is to do the Dawah of Islam. we should give Dawah to Non Muslims towards Islam in a good manner. our Dawah should not just be limited to people of others religion like Christianity or Hinduism but it should be given to everyone Including Atheists (The people who don't believe in God).
I am sharing some material that will be helpful to you while forwarding the message of Islam to Atheists.
Major sins or Gunah e Kabira in Islam means those sins that are forbidden In Holy Quran by Allah Swt and In Hadiths by Prophet Muhammad Peace be upon him because they are not good for the human beings and society so they are forbidden.
The real reason these sins are forbidden by Allah Swt and Prophet Muhammad saw because they are harmful for the mankind. Allah SWT is our creator and he knows best what is good and what is bad for us. If a person avoids the Majors sins (Gunah e Kabira) his minor sins will also be forgiven by mercy of Our Rab. Allah Swt says in Surah Al Nisa of Quran Kareem
"If you avoid the major of what you have been forbidden to do, We will cancel out for you your other evil deeds and will admit you to Heaven with a noble entry"
There are several Major sins but I will be mentioning some of the them below not all of them.
1 Shirk - Associating partners with Allah SWT.
2 Killing an Innocent human being.
3 Not offering Fard Salah Prayer.
4 Not Giving Zakat - (Charity to Poors)
5 Not keep Fasts in Ramadan

16 Earning Wealth by unlawful means.
17 unjust Judging
18 Bad conduct towards your life partner

20 treating someone unjustly
21 False Oath taking.
There are many other big sins as well but the above ones are very common in the society at present. May Allah Swt help us in avoiding these Sins and doing the works of virtue in our lives.
There is no matter if you are a Muslims or non Muslims you must be familiar with the term Jihad because its a hot topic on International media since from last one and a half decades specially after 9/11. Jihad comes from the Arabic root word Jahda which means to strive and struggle. in Islamic context Jihad means to strive and struggle in way of Allah.
Jihad does not means killing any person or any non muslim. but today International media is showing Jihad as killing innocent people. we often hear such words Jihadi terror, Islamic terrorism on media which as completely wrong terms. Jihad never means killing an innocent person. Islam never allows killing an innocent person.
Holy Quran says in Surah Maidah that whoever kills an innocent person its like as he has killed the whole of humanity and whoever saves an innocent person its as he has saved the whole of humanity. There are hundreds of Verses of Quran and Hadiths of Rasool Allah SAW making it clear that killing any innocent person is Haram in Islam.
Some people today quote verses of quran out of context and try to show that Quran supports killings of innocents. but if you read these verses with context you will get the truth. its my challenge to anyone to show a single verse of Quran which supports innocent killings.
There are many types of Jihad. if you are striving in way of Allah you are doing Jihad. for example if you are helping the poor you are doing Jihad. if you are obeying your patents you are doing jihad. if you are fighting against injustice you are doing Jihad. but you are not doing Jihad when you kill a innocent human being of any religion. Its terrorism not Jihad.
May Allah Swt help us in understanding the correct meaning of Jihad.
