On Saturday 14th May, IERA, the Islamic Education and Research Academy, treated North London to an all day course on how to give Dawah. Call of Duty which has been running up and down the country for a couple of years now aims to establish a mass movement in Dawah and build networks of trained individuals across Britain. Saturday’s course was hosted by the dynamic Hamza Tzortzis and took attendees through the infamous GORAP process – a tauhid based approach.
Interjected with bursts of Hamza’s ‘Greek Humour’ we enjoyed pretend role plays with Non-Muslims and structured logic. Hamza reminded us of the importance of empathy in engaging with Non-Muslims as well as sharing a few of his tips. The Muslim Association of Britain were kind enough to provide lunch and the mosque venue was very comfortable and accessible.
Overall attendees were pleased to have picked up some new techniques and congratulate IERA on being the first organisation to have formalised and centrally supported the Dawah. Of course though, this is only the beginning and the techniques will need testing out and reviewing. IERA’s approach is a step in the right direction and now depends on you, the reader, to put to work. Insha Allah – Practice Makes Perfect!
