IPCI NEWSLETTERS - Volume 5 - May/June 2003 Building Partnership in Dawah It is a misconception to assume that Dawah would be effective merely by spreading the knowledge of Islam. The teachings of Islam must be disseminated by setting a true Islamic example, individually as well as collectively, however the ideal form of Dawah is that the entire community should be organised on the Principle of Khilafah -ala- Minhaj-al- Nabuwwah (caliphate on the pattern of the way of the Prophet (S.A.W) The IPCI firmly believes that optimum effectiveness could be achieved through the building of a partnership in Dawah. The IPCI therefore extends an invitation to all interested organisations, musjid committees and other individuals to join us in this venture of taking Dawah to a wider community through the establishment of local Dawah Information Centres in the country. The IPCI will play a supportive role by providing essential resources such as literature, audio & video cassettes and the necessary expertise to establish such centres. We Look Forward To Your Positive Response. Contact Rafeek Hassen (Director IPCI)
