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

(Isrā’īliyyāt) are stories and traditions of Jewish and Christian origin that entered early Islamic writings, particularly Qur’ānic exegesis and historical narratives which have become widespread tools of Da‘wah among Yoruba Muslim preachers. Their uncritical adoption has led to doctrinal confusion, the propagation of fabricated Hadīth, and distorted interpretations of the Qur’ān. These narratives have also reinforced superstitious beliefs, misconceptions about the infallibility of prophets, and blasphemous views regarding the Prophet’s Companions, thereby weakening the (‘Aqīdah) creed of many Yoruba Muslims. This paper examines the implications of Isrā’īliyyāt narrations on the belief system, theology, and religious practices of contemporary Yoruba Muslims. The study employs analytical and historical methods to trace the origin of (Isrā’iliyyāt), and examine its implications among Yoruba Muslims. The paper finds out that the narrations have shaped Yoruba Muslims’ theological perceptions and superstitious beliefs like reincarnation (akúdáyà) and stillbirth (àbíkú) have persisted as a result of (Isrā’īliyyāt-influenced preaching. The paper argues that Islam, as a comprehensive and revealed religion, rejects falsehood, fabrication, and superstition, and that Qur’ānic exegesis must be based strictly on authentic sources and sound scholarly principles. The paper recommends that Yoruba Muslim preachers and scholars undergo proper training in Qur’ānic sciences, Hadīth, jurisprudence, and the Arabic language to ensure accurate interpretation. The paper concludes that curbing the spread of (Isrā’īliyyāt) requires renewed scholarly commitment, intellectual discipline, and adherence to authentic Islamic epistemology, so as to preserve the purity of Islamic teachings among Yoruba Muslims.
