‘Dawah’, the practice of extending an invitation to enlightenment, is every Muslim’s duty. This has never been more necessary or relevant than in these times, when there are so many people intent on the spreading of misinformation, especially in the media.
The Dawah Project’s mission is to counter this by using the media to pass on accurate, informative and educational content about the teachings and practice of Islam to Muslims and non-Muslims alike, opening the way to respectful dialogue.
Significant Activities
The trustee haves paid due regard to guidance issued by Charity Commission in deciding what activities the project should undertake.
We are able to communicate information about Islam and its teachings through a number of different channels, including the funding of religious programming on Islam channel, the world’s leading Islamic media platform, setting up radio stations in Africa, founding an International Dawah Centre and through our regular events. This includes live appeals, sponsoring documentaries, subscriptions and sale of merchandise.
