Do you want to give da'wah to non-Muslims but don't know how to go about it?
Do you lack the confidence and skills?
Insha'allah this practical course will inspire and motivate you to talk to non-Muslims, presenting the true image of Islam.
The highly experienced trainers and intensive day will require active participation from all attendees.
Please note that this training day is intended as an Introduction to giving da'wah and is not a knowledge based course.
It is aimed at brothers and sisters who have little or no da'wah experience and would like to learn essential skills in giving da'wah.
Most of our trainers participated in the highly successful and motivating 10 day intensive da'wah training course which was held last August at the Markfield Institute. Trainers/speakers will include:-
Br Abu Muntasir Chief Executive of JIMAS, who has been active in giving da'wah in the UK for about 25 years and is a very well known and well respected speaker to muslim organisations nationwide.
Br Daud Matthews Has worked in da'wah since 1986 and has given many talks and training sessions on Islam in Saudi Arabia and the UK. He is also the author of "Presenting Islam in the West".
Dr Naveed Ahmad Has organised da'wah training courses for 8 years and given da'wah to non-Muslims (eg on da'wah stalls/in events) for 10 years.
