Keywords:
Da‘wah, Methods, Multi-racial, Multi-religious, PreambleAbstract
This article aims to be a preamble for the Islamic discourse of doing da‘wah in multi-racial and multi-religious societies covering its basic requirements nowadays. The emphasis is made on the basic requirements of da‘wah methods in multi-racial and multi-religious societies, conditions of da‘wah in general, directives for the callers and the relationship between society and da‘wah.This study employs qualitative methodology in which the data collected are analyzed using textual and content analysis approach. Finding reveals that when Muslims call others to their religion, their consciousness is clear that nobody is forced to Islam. The basis of their da‘wah in multi-racial and multi-religious societies is freedom and voluntarily submission to God. Thus, this is the main reason why Islam maintains the harmony in society especially in multi-cultural world. Islam wishes everybody to co-exist by living in peace and harmony.
