Dawah
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
(Redirected from Da'wa)
Jump to: navigation, search
Dawah (دعوة, literally:
summons or call, also da'wa) is an Arabic
term
meaning "invite" or "invitation," and is used in Islam to refer
primarily to the activity of
proselytizing though it "has
historically
encompassed a wide range of meanings"
(Hirschkind 2004, p.190).
Dawah
is considered to be the Muslim
responsibility to "invite" others to Islam. Dawah is often referred to
as the act of
preaching Islam. It can apply to Muslims and non-Muslims
alike. For example, in the Qur'an, Sura
An-Nahl 16:125 states, "Invite to the
way of your Lord with wisdom and beautiful preaching and argue with them
in ways that are best."
A Da'ee or Da`i (Arabic داعي or داع), a word
derived from the same root as dawah, is a Muslim who is a
caller to Islam (also du'āt, singular: dā'iya). Many other religions,
including Buddhism and Christianity, have similar categories of action
(e.g. evangelization).

Term
When used in the Quran it generally refers to God's invitation to live
according to his will. Thus when used in the first centuries of Islam it
increasingly referred to the content of that message and was
sometimes used
interchangably with sharī'a (law) and
dīn (religion). It also described the duty to "actively encourage fellow
Muslims
in the pursuance of greater
piety in all aspects of their lives," a definition which has
become central to contemporary Islamic thought. (ibid)
Purposes of
dawah
From an Islamic standpoint, the purpose of dawah is to "invite" people
to the worship of God as
expressed in
Tawheed
as
well as to inform them about their belief about
Muhammad who Muslims believe is the last Prophet and Messenger. By doing
so, Muslims hope to guide people to the religion of Islam. However,
Muslims believe that if people come to Islam the decision is ultimately
between them and their Creator.
Another purpose of dawah is to strengthen the Muslim community, or
Ummah. For Muslims, it is the encouragement to be more
observant of Allah and to increase the level of piety. That
applies whether the person is just at the edge of Islam (applying very
little of it) or someone who is already practicing well but wants to
reach higher levels. For the non-Muslim, it is explaining Islam by a
congruent person, through acts, discussions, and dialogue in the best
manner possible.
Approaches
to dawah
Dawah, from the Islamic
perspective, is an open and general act of
informing others about the message of Islam by carrying it, living it,
and making it available to others through all positive and
engaging
means. It is not the mere act of telling someone about Islam, although
dialogue, discussion, presentations, etc. are a part of dawah. It is the
steady
engagement of living the message,
exemplifying the behaviors and
providing answers and material when necessary.
As a general principle, most Muslims agree that successful dawah
includes knowledge of Islam, manners, and
sincerity and intention
in
action. Many callers to Islam, such as imams,
undergo dawah training to
build their foundation on various aspects of the Islamic
faith.
"Whereas in liberal society religious authority is generally understood
to impose
undue
constraints on free and open discussion and is thus
unwelcome within the secular public
sphere, here it provides the
foundation upon which opposing viewpoints are
articulated." (ibid,
p.195)
Al-dawah
Al-da'wa is a
broad movement started by the revivers of the concept and
practice of da'wa, the
Muslim Brotherhood and its founder Hassān
al-Banna. al-Banna considered da'wa to be the "mode of action by which
moral and political reform were to be brought about" that being speaking
to those willing to listen in public places such as mosques, schools,
cafes, or clubs. The Brotherhood also
promoted the similar practice of
isti'dhān, where a member asks to address the mosque on a matter or
matters relevant to Muslims. (Hirschkind 2004, p.190 and 192)
