Course Description

Too many Muslims enter conversations without knowing what they’re saying. Too often, we do Islam a disservice by speaking without knowledge.

There are individuals who sincerely ask and inquire about aspects of Islam and are often answered half-heartedly and unconvincingly. And there are others who are committed to discrediting Islam, dedicating their lives to this effort.

Should we then not put in the effort to learn the Art of Da’wah? Do we not owe that to our religion, our family, friends and neighbours?
