Summary: | Da’wah in Islam has distinguishing role in establishing values and principles in the society, and
the most important of these values is security, which, in its comprehensive sense, is required for
both the individual and the society. The contemporary human life suffers from various waves of
turmoil and insecurity, be it material security, which is represented in the provision of food and
medicine, or psychological and emotional security, through which peace of mind and selfhappiness are realized. This article aims at examining the role of Islamic da’wah in achieving
security, from Qur’anic and Sunnah perspective. It also serves a response on those who accuse
Islam of violence and disorder. The article adopts descriptive analytic inductive method. The
article concludes that Islamic da’wah is an effective and important means in highlighting the
importance of security to both the individual and the society, and that it is a universal legitimate
necessity for advocacy. The Islamic method of da’wah aims at building an individual and
societal systems through which is actualized for both Muslims and non-Muslims alike. A Muslim
should be a good representation of Islamic da’wah and a security measure to everyone around
him. The comprehensive security can only be achieved when man cohabits harmoniously with
himself and other creatures around him, and this is clearly indicated through following the
Islamic da’wah guidance and fundamentals in the Qur’an and Sunnah. |
