Abstract

Da’wah, or Islamic propagation, is a core religious obligation grounded in the Qur’an and Sunnah. It invites humanity to Islam and guides believers toward righteousness, following the example of Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him). Linguistically meaning “call” or “invitation,” Da’wah includes spreading Islamic teachings, encouraging good, and discouraging wrongdoing. In contemporary contexts, it is conducted through personal interaction, community engagement, digital platforms, and interfaith dialogue, aiming to share Islam’s message of peace, purpose, and submission to Allah. This paper explores the divine purpose of Da’wah, its components, the message, the caller, and the called and the methodological principles drawn from Qur’an 16:125: wisdom (al-hikmah), good exhortation (al-maw‘izah al-hasanah), and gracious argumentation (al-jidal bil-lati hiya ahsan). Using analytical and historical methods, it highlights the universal nature of Da’wah, its distinction from other religious invitations, and the essential qualities of the caller (da‘i). The study affirms that Da’wah is a holistic system involving the subject (al-mawdu’), the caller (ad-da’iyah), and the audience (al-mad‘uww). It concludes that effective Da’wah requires wisdom, kindness, and strong character, rooted in Prophetic methodology. It recommends structured training, ethical communication, community-based programs, digital strategies, and increased accessibility through translated classical works.

Abstract

Social media has become a dominant medium for communication and information exchange in contemporary societies, significantly influencing religious discourse and practice. In the context of Islam, social media platforms have emerged as important tools for Dacwah (Islamic propagation), enabling scholars and preachers to reach diverse audiences across geographical and cultural boundaries. This study examines the merits of the use of social media for Dacwah activities, with particular attention to its role as a source of Islamic knowledge, its wide audience coverage, its contribution to the protection of Muslim rights, its effectiveness in clarifying misconceptions about Islam, its use in fundraising for humanitarian causes, and its facilitation of marriage matchmaking in line with Islamic principles. The study adopts a qualitative research design based on an extensive review and content analysis of relevant scholarly literature, journal articles, books, and credible online sources. Findings reveal that social media enhances access to Islamic knowledge, strengthens engagement between scholars and followers, counters negative stereotypes about Islam, supports charitable initiatives, and provides alternative platforms for lawful matrimonial connections. The study concludes that social media, when responsibly and ethically utilized, offers significant opportunities for effective Dacwah in the modern age. It therefore recommends that qualified Muslim scholars intensify their engagement with social media platforms to promote authentic Islamic teachings and positively influence global perceptions of Islam.

Abstract

Background: In multiple societies, such as Nigeria, where various religious communities coexist, religious tolerance is an essential value. An exceptional example of long-lasting interfaith cooperation impacted by Islamic teachings and sociocultural fusion is the Ilorin Emirate.Objectives: The purpose of this study is to investigate the idea of religious tolerance from an Islamic viewpoint, as well as how it has historically and socially been used in the Ilorin Emirate and what that means for societal cohesion and peace.Method: This study uses a qualitative methodology with thematic, historical, and textual analysis. Both original sources, such as the Qur'an and Hadith, and secondary sources, such as academic literature and historical documents pertaining to the Ilorin Emirate, are used to gather data.Results: Justice (ʿadl), compassion (raḥmah), piety (taqwā), and wisdom (ḥikmah) are the four fundamental characteristics that shape religious tolerance in the Ilorin Emirate. Patterns of institutional integration, interfaith social interaction, and educational influence all reflect these ideas. The report also highlights important issues that jeopardize the longevity of tolerance, such as radical ideologies, political exploitation of religion, and socioeconomic disparity.Conclusion: By connecting Islamic theological ideas with their real-world implementation in a regional setting, this study adds to the body of literature and shows how religion can be a basis for long-term interfaith harmony. The results emphasize how crucial it is to improve religious leadership, education, and interfaith communication in order to preserve social harmony in plural society.
