Dawa Training
Dawa, from the Islamic perspective, is an open and general act of informing others about the message of Islam by carrying it, living it, and making it available to others through all positive and engaging means. It is not the mere act of telling someone about Islam, although dialog, discussion, presentations, etc. are a necessary, but not sufficient, part of Dawa. It is the steady engagement of living the message, exemplifying the behaviors and providing answers and material when necessary.
Dawa is an Arabic term that linguistically means "an invitation". It is used often in the day-to-day language. Dawa, as an Islamic term, is the act of inviting others to Islam. It applies to Muslims and non-Muslims alike. For Muslims, it is the encouragement to be more observant of Allah and to increase the level of piety. That applies whether the person is just at the edge of Islam (applying very little of it) or someone who is already practicing well but wants to reach higher levels. For the non-Muslim, it is explaining Islam by a congruent person, through acts, discussions, and dialog in the best manner possible.
