Summary
Da’wah is an effort made by the preacher to invite others to accept, practice, and appreciate the teachings of Islam with faith and obedience to Allah SWT in order to achieve happiness and well-being in this world and the hereafter (Mokhtar, Hashim, Jemali, & Ismail, 2017). Da'wah is the summon, invitation or call to all mankind to believe in Allah, by doing His commands and abandoning what is forbidden (Ismail, 2014). Da'wah can be divided into two categories, namely da'wah to Muslims so that they can improve the quality of their Islamic faith, knowledge and understanding and da'wah to the non-Muslims by introducing them to Islam (Aziz & Ismail, 2018). Every Muslim is a preacher (Aziz & Ismail, 2018). In the context of group da'wah, it can be done by government or private agencies, educational and social institutions, as well as non-governmental organizations (Razak & Rahim, 2017)
