Dawah’s work has been termed in the Quran as ‘the call to God.’ In other words, dawah work aims at bringing people closer to their Creator and Sustainer. Calling people to God tells them that the only right way of life for them on this earth is to become true believers in God. Calling people to God means warning man of the evil consequences of self-oriented life, inviting him to adopt the God-oriented life. The most authentic and reliable source of knowledge of the divine teachings on both types of life has been preserved for us in the form of the Quran. Calling people to God is purely other-worldly. It is not directly associated with national, social or economic issues. It is a campaign to call people to God. It starts in the spiritual and religious idiom and goes on in the same idiom and style till the end. The mission of calling people to God is, in essence, a divine task performed by human beings. It must be performed spiritually. Any work done in a non-spiritual way will not be a genuine call to God, even if it is done in His name.
