Question

Is there a dua to make for a non-Muslim who is slightly interested in Islam to be guided to Islam? [details about Islam]

Answer

When someone embraces Islam, Allah forgives all of his previous sins and evil deeds. A man called Amr came to the Prophet Muhammad (SallAllahu Alayhi Wa-Sallam) and said,
'Give me your right hand so that I may give you my pledge of loyalty.'
The Prophet SallAllahu Alayhi Wa-Sallam stretched out his right hand. Amr withdrew his hand. The Prophet SallAllahu Alayhi Wa-Sallam said: What has happened to you, O Amr? He replied, 'I intend to lay down a condition.' The Prophet SallAllahu Alayhi Wa-Sallam asked: What condition do you intend to put forward? Amr said, 'That God forgive my sins.' The Prophet SallAllahu Alayhi Wa-Sallam said: Didn't you know that converting to Islam erases all previous sins?
(Narrated in Saheeh Muslim and Musnad Ahmad).

After embracing Islam, the person will be rewarded for his or her good and bad deeds according to the following saying of the Prophet Muhammad (SallAllahu Alayhi Wa-Sallam):
Your Lord, Who is blessed and exalted, is most merciful. If someone intends to do a good deed but does not do it, a good deed will be recorded for him. And if he does do it, (a reward of) ten to seven hundred or many more times (the reward of the good deed), will be recorded for him. And
if someone intends to do a bad deed but does not do it, a good deed will be recorded for him. And if he does do it, a bad deed will be recorded against him or God will wipe it out. (Narrated in Musnad Ahmad,and Saheeh Muslim)

Some Basic Islamic Beliefs
--------------------------------------
1) Belief in God:
-----------------------
Muslims believe in one, unique, incomparable Allah, Who has no son nor partner, and that none has the right to be worshipped but Him alone. He is the true God, and every other deity is false. He has the most magnificent names and sublime perfect attributes. No one shares His
divinity, nor His attributes. In the Quran, Allah describes Himself:
Say, 'He is Allah, the One. Allah, to Whom the creatures turn for their needs. He begets not, nor was He begotten, and there is none like Him.'
(Quran, 112:1-4)

No one has the right to be invoked, supplicated, prayed to, or shown any act of worship, but Allah alone.
Allah alone is the Almighty, the Creator, the Sovereign, and the Sustainer of everything in the whole universe. He manages all affairs. He stands in need of none of His creatures, and all His creatures depend on Him for
all that they need. He is the All-Hearing, the All-Seeing, and the All-Knowing. In a perfect manner, His knowledge encompasses all things, the open and the secret, and the public and the private. He knows what has happened, what will happen, and how it will happen. No affair occurs
in the whole world except by His will. Whatever He ills is, and whatever He does not will is not and will never be. His will is above the will of all the creatures. He has power over all things, and He is able to do everything. He is the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful, and the Most Beneficent. In one of the sayings of the Prophet Muhammad(SallAllahu Alayhi Wa-Sallam), we are told that Allah is more merciful to His creatures than a mother to her child. Allah is far removed from injustice and tyranny. He is All-Wise in all of His actions and decrees. If someone wants something from Allah, he or she can ask Allah directly without asking anyone else to intercede with Allah for him or her.

2) Belief in the Angels:
--------------------------------
Muslims believe in the existence of the angels and that they are honored creatures. The angels worship God alone, obey Him, and act only by His command. Among the angels is Gabriel, who brought down the Quran to Muhammad SallAllahu Alayhi Wa-Sallam.

3) Belief in God's revealed Books:
--------------------------------
Muslims believe that God revealed books to His messengers as proof for mankind and as guidance for them. Among these books is the Quran, which God revealed to the Prophet Muhammad (SallAllahu Alayhi Wa-Sallam). God has guaranteed the Quran's protection from any corruption or distortion.
'Indeed, We have sent down the Quran, and surely We will guard it (from corruption)'. (Quran, 15:9)

4) Belief in the Prophets and Messengers of God:
------------------------------------------------
Muslims believe in the prophets and messengers of God, starting with Adam,including Noah, Abraham, Ishmael, Isaac, Jacob, Moses, and Jesus (peace and blessings be upon them all). God's final message to man, a reconfirmation of the eternal message, was revealed to the Prophet Muhammad (SallAllahu Alayhi Wa-Sallam).

God has said:
'Muhammad is not the father of any one of your men, but he is the Messenger of God and the last of the prophets..'. (Quran, 33:40)
Muslims believe that all the prophets and messengers were created human beings who had none of the divine qualities of God.

5) Belief in the Day of Judgment:
-------------------------------------------
Muslims believe in the Day of Judgment (the Day of Resurrection) when all people will be resurrected for God's judgment according to their beliefs and deeds.

6) Belief in Al-Qadar:
----------------------------
Muslims believe in Al-Qadar, which is Divine Predestination, but this belief in Divine Predestination does not mean that human beings do not have freewill. Rather, Muslims believe that God has given human beings
freewill. This means that they can choose right or wrong and that they are responsible for their choices.

And Allah knows best.
