Abstract

It is publicly known that Islamic sciences have found their equivalence in
the general sciences. Indeed, Shari‘ah is associated with Islamic law,
adab is Islamic humanity, ushuluddi, is Islamic theology/philosophy,
tarbiyah is Islamic education. While this pairing does not raise
controversy among scholars, there is still a debate whether dakwah is
equivalent to Islamic communication.
The former sciences have become scholastic subjects during the early and
middle age periods of Islamic history, but the latter was developed as a
discipline only after the Second World War.
Dakwah is a way to convey the message of Islam to anyone, but the effect
of this is process, however, depends on the decision of the receiver, as the
role of the Dai (the sender) is just to impart and to deliver the message
(maddah/mawdhu’) of the Qur’an sincerely, and only then guidance
(hidayah) can come. Guidance can be from the supreme creator (God)
and from the supporter of destruction (Satan). His ideal human
communication is based on dakwah.
