Dawah

Da’awah was the basic mission of all the prophets of Allaah who were sent  to convey the message of Islam to people, therefore Allaah praised those who engage in this Noble Endeavour as being the best people.

Surah Aal-e-Imran, Verse 110:

كُنتُمْخَيْرَأُمَّةٍأُخْرِجَتْلِلنَّاسِتَأْمُرُونَبِالْمَعْرُوفِوَتَنْهَوْنَعَنِالْمُنكَرِوَتُؤْمِنُونَبِاللَّهِوَلَوْآمَنَأَهْلُالْكِتَابِلَكَانَخَيْرًالَّهُممِّنْهُمُالْمُؤْمِنُونَوَأَكْثَرُهُمُالْفَاسِقُونَ

You [true believers in Islamic Monotheism, and real followers of Prophet Muhammad SAW and his Sunnah (legal ways, etc.)] are the best of peoples ever raised up for mankind; you enjoin Al-Ma’ruf (i.e. Islamic Monotheism and all that Islam has ordained) and forbid Al-Munkar (polytheism, disbelief and all that Islam has forbidden), and you believe in Allah. And had the people of the Scripture (Jews and Christians) believed, it would have been better for them; among them are some who have faith, but most of them are Al-Fasiqun (disobedient to Allah – and rebellious against Allah’s Command).

(English – Mohsin Khan)

It’s an obligation on everyone according to their abilities, to convey the message of Islam and not conveying it to others constitute “hiding knowledge”. And from the characteristics of a Caller (Dayee) is Sound Knowledge, kindness, wisdom, morality etc.

Da’awah training programme is an initiative to train and equip students with knowledge and skills in order to present Islam confidently to the world, In view of the same the college organizes a special class every Friday for an hour as da’awah training sessions where every student gets an opportunity to deliver a speech in English & Tamil

And as a part of da’awah training the college took the efforts taking the students to various schools and which not only helps in boosting their confidence but also in overcoming their fear of public speaking. A great way to reach and spread the message to a wider audience.
