Utilizing literary approach, this paper argues that the implementation of the Da’wa of Progressive Muslims stresses on several aspects such as the importance of critical thinking, being no too textual, being moderate, not being apologetic, and being open about gender issues.Keywords: Da’wa, gender equality, progressive Muslims, and Omid Safi.
