Islam, as a religion, has always been essentially and primarily propagated through Da’awah (proselytisation) and it would continue to be so up to the end of human existence on this planet. Due to its universal nature, appeal, and guidance, Islam would have to be continuously propagated through proselytisation to all the nooks and crannies of the world particularly in this millennium when more and more people are increasingly becoming engrossed into the worship of democracy. Hence, the need for a paper in which the essential components of Da’awah Islaamiyyah (Islamic proselytisation), would be expatiated so that Islamic workers around the globe will rise up to the challenge. Apart from the definition of Da’awah, the paper will discuss the four foundations of Da’awah, namely: Ad-Da’awah ilaa Allah (inviting people to God), Ad-Daa’iyah (the proselytiser, the caller, the inviter, or the person who invites people to God), Al-Mad’uww [the invitee(s) or person(s) that is/are being invited to God], the Al-Wasaa-il wal-Asaaleeb (the means and the methods of invitation to God), and conclusion.
