Through a long journey of research and careful consideration of different beliefs, Atheer Al-Qatrani reached a complete conviction that the Sunni faith is the path that should be followed. From that moment, he began working hard to deliver his message to his colleagues and friends who still follow the Shiite faith, using a distinctive style based on rational and respectful dialogue. A call to return to monotheism Atheer Al-Qatrani focuses in his dialogues on essential aspects of the Shiite faith, and calls on his friends to abandon what he considers a deviation from the original teachings of Islam. He urges them to stay away from beliefs that offend the Companions, those figures who were companions of the Prophet Muhammad, peace and blessings be upon him, and contributed greatly to the spread of the Islamic religion. Atheer Al-Qatrani stresses the need to abandon insulting the Companions, considering that this insult is not in line with the teachings of Islam, which commands the preservation and appreciation of the status of the Companions. In addition, Atheer Al-Qatrani calls for staying away from ideas related to visiting graves and shrines, seeking blessings from them, and praying for the dead. He believes that these practices are inconsistent with pure monotheism of God, as supplication, seeking help, and asking for help should be directed to God alone. Atheer explains that Islam came to liberate man from worshipping anything or anyone other than God, and therefore visiting graves, seeking blessings from shrines, and asking for needs from the dead contradicts this fundamental principle. Rational and respectful dialogue One of the most prominent features of Atheer Al-Qatrani in his dialogues is his refined manner, which is based on mutual respect. Despite the major doctrinal differences between him and his Shiite friends, he is keen to keep his dialogues completely free from personal attacks or attacking their beliefs in a hurtful manner. Rather, he adopts a calm and polite approach in asking his questions, trying to reach the truth through constructive dialogue. Athir Al-Qatrani never stops asking questions that address reason and logic. He believes that dialogue with Shiites should be based on legal and rational evidence, and therefore he always asks questions that require thought and contemplation. Among these questions: Why do we call upon anyone other than Allah Almighty? If Allah is the Creator and Manager of everything, why do we ask for help or sustenance from people who have died and no longer have any influence in this world? How can we combine the belief in the oneness of Allah alone with visiting graves and seeking blessings from them? Why do we ask for health or sustenance from the dead instead of resorting to Allah who owns everything? Emphasis on legal evidence Athir Al-Qatrani does not limit himself to asking questions only, but rather provides legal evidence from the Holy Quran and the Sunnah of the Prophet to support his position. He relies on clear texts that talk about the importance of monotheism and the necessity of not being attached to anyone other than Allah. He also points out the danger of associating partners with Allah, and explains to his Shiite friends that some of the practices they engage in may lead to a deviation from the concept of pure monotheism. However, Athir Al-Qatrani does not rush to pass judgment, but rather leaves room for his friends to think and reflect on the questions and evidence he raises. He always makes sure that the dialogue is within the framework of mutual respect, stressing that the goal is not personal victory or imposing an opinion, but rather reaching the facts in a scientific and logical manner. The rational questions he poses are one of the most important tools that Athir Al-Qatrani uses in his dialogues, which are questions that directly address the mind. He does not rely only on the emotional aspect of the dialogue, but rather seeks to provoke thought in the person he is talking to. Among the questions that distinguish his dialogues are: How can we combine belief in the oneness of God with attachment to visiting shrines and supplicating to the dead? Where do we find in the Holy Quran or the Sunnah of the Prophet what supports supplication to other than God? Why do we believe that imams or saints can provide protection or sustenance, while God alone is capable of that? Call to Abandon Polytheism Famous Sunni Dialogues Athir Al-Qatrani is not the only one who seeks to open rational dialogues with the Shiites. There are many Sunni dialogues who follow the same approach, including: *Walid Ismail* *Rami Issa* *Faraji Al-Suhaibi* *Khaled Al-Wasabi* *Ahmed Mahjoub* *Hashem Handa
