Dawah
work has been termed in the Quran
‘the call to God.’ In other words,
dawah
work aims at bringing people closer to their
Creator and Sustainer. Calling people to God
is telling them that the only right way of life
for them on this earth is to become true
believers in God.
Man has only two ways of leading his life in
this world: the self-oriented and the God-
oriented. The self-oriented life is one in
which all activities centre on oneself. Such
a life is lead according to man’s own
thinking. He follows his own whims and
desires. To him the fulfillment of personal
interests and ambitions is the standard by
which to measure human success.
