| Summary: | The long history of Christians and Isl- showed the accentuation given by both
followers to perform the religious mission throughout this planet. In Christianity it is
called evangelization while in Islamic term is Da'wah. They sincerely give their
highest effort to manifest their obedience to God, the efforts are to save-human kind
from deluding life weltanschauung, bring them to a meaningful life and spreading the
love of God according to their religious views respectively. This particular study is
purposed to disclose the similarities and differences between both missions'
doctrines. In some extents Evangelism and Da'wah do have some matters in common
such as both are trying to lead people to the absolute truth. On the contrary, there are
differences between them like the core teaching of theology of each religion itself.
Based on both religious principles, it seems impossible for both religions to co-exist
in term of religious mission. It will be easier to comprehend if one views the
complication through both religious perceptions. The common goal (save people) of
both religions in mission that lead them to rival each other as both are trying to 'save'
the public opposite religion conversion. It leads to a conclusion that none of them will
tolerate vice versa. Thus, the only solution is, both missionaries must compete to each
other in a very conducive and healthy manner. Hopefully this particular study will
confer a significant contribution to Da'wah discipline and will be a good exposure to
the public on the comparison between Da'wah and Evangelism. |
