Da'wah in light of the Qur'an and Sunnah

Da’wah in Light of the Qur’an and Sunnah by Dr. Nurlin Dindang is a beautiful exposition of the science and art of da’wah (Islamic propagation) through divine guidance and the traditions of the final Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him. The book elucidates the rationale for da’wah, its benefits, and the requirements for its success. It also lists the characteristics and etiquette expected of da’is (those who call to Islam) and provides guidance on how to conduct da’wah with wisdom and “beautiful preaching.” It offers helpful tips for both beginners and those actively engaged in fulfilling this commitment. The book concludes with important recommendations for various sectors of the Muslim community regarding da’wah. As an educator, the author rightly emphasizes the need to include da’wah according to the Qur’an and Sunnah as part of the curriculum for Muslim students from secondary school through university and postgraduate levels. If our policymakers take this recommendation seriously and implement it faithfully, it will undoubtedly bring about positive change in the current state of apathy towards the duty of conveying the final message to all of humanity. This book is a welcome addition to the scarce literature on this subject.
