What is Da’wah?
Da’wah means calling to something, or inviting. It also means to make people true worshippers of Allah.
تدعو means ‘to call’
Da’wah is also a way to develop people around you; to help them become better in practice and understanding of the religion and in their manners, and their dealings.
In the Qur’an, it is called Da’wah and sometimes it is referred to in the form of commanding what is good and forbidding the evil.
Allah says in the Qur’an:
“Let there arise out of you a band of people inviting to all that is good, enjoining what is right, and forbidding what is wrong; they are the ones to attain felicity.” (3:104)
Note: The word Da'wa with no 'h' at the end (in Arabic) means lie, so ensure you always use Da'wah.

Masha allaaaH lot of valuable points of Da’wah & Daiyies. AlhamdulillaH, for taking me to this site.My dears its our duty to do Da’wah in all possible ways. Allah subhanautha’ala says in the Glorious Qur’an, Surah Nahl, Ch.16, v:125,
[b]“Invite (all) to the way of thy Lord with wisdom and beautiful preaching; and argue with them in ways that are best and most gracious”.[/b]
May the almighty ALLAH grace & guide all of us to become da’ies of ISLAM.

Prophet (sas) said in du’a:
"Yaa muqallib al-quloob thabbit quloobanaa ‘alaa deenika. Yaa musrif al-quloob asrif quloobanaa ilaa ta’atika."
"O changer of hearts, keep our hearts firm upon your deen. O director of hearts, direct our hearts to your obedience." usually one recites this dua in sjdaah-prostration
