Description
Summary:The Kedah's Department of Islamic Religion Affairs is a department which is responsible in managing the matters concerning the religious affairs that is founded by the laws of Kedah's Islamic administration 1962 (No. 911962). Therefore, the Islamic da'wah has become the main agenda which is discussed in the attempt to view its effectiveness through the da'wahs activities that is being held. This da'wah approach is one of the ways to revive the consciousness and realization towards the Islamic guidance and making it as the way of life. The important aspects in the commission of da'wah are the preacher (da'i), the target of the dacwah, the contents of the da'wah and its approach. These aspects are very important and are connected to each other. This research is done using the Statistical Package for Social Science (SSPS) and descriptive data analysis. The sample of this research consists of 150 respondents. This research is also using the survey, interview and library research methodologies. The result of this research has shown that the overall activities that being held receive positive response from the public. The JHEAIK reputation has become better every year. It has been the responsibility of all parties to make sure that the da'wah program work on smoothly. Without the cooperation from the other party, thus success and the effectiveness of this program will be hard to achieve. Therefore, the success of the da'wah depends on the command towards these aspects which is the understanding of the religion, Qudwah Hasanah (role model), and others. The writer can conclude here that even though JHEAIK are involved in the Islamic da'wah S activities, the efforts need to be improved in order to confront the needs and the challenges of this era.
