ideological sense. Others have gone further and
accepted Islam as a total way of life.
DAWAH ACTIVISM
Islamic activism, in respect of its method, is based
on non-violence, and in respect of its goal, on
dawah.
Dawah,
in fact, is another name for the peaceful
struggle to propagate Islam. It would therefore be
true to say that Islamic activism and
dawah
activism
are synonymous.
The work of
dawah
is no simple task. It enjoys a
pivotal position. When this work is performed with
thoroughness,
all
other
difficulties
will
automatically be overcome. On this subject the
Qur’an has this to say:
1.
If we perform
dawah,
God will protect us from all
evil-doers. (5:67)
2.
Dawah
turns enemies into friends (41:34)
3.
Dawah
proves the ideological superiority of
Islam. And without doubt there is nothing
greater than ideological superiority.
