Islamic Information & Dawah Centre International
The Islamic Information & Dawah Centre International (hereinafter the Dawah Centre) was incorporated in 1994 as a not-for-profit charitable organisation with the primary purpose of dawah (invitation to Allah). More specifically, the purpose is to deliver the message of Allah to English-speaking non-Muslims internationally. At the onset of our mission it was deemed necessary to have a meeting place for those who would deliver the message. In such a meeting place the du`aat (inviters) would receive training on how to deliver the message. This was also the place where recipients of the message would come for more information and to study in our library.
It is our vision that we would
- develop methods for delivering the message,
- produce materials to be used for delivering the message, and
- train persons to deliver the message internationally.
It is also within our vision to have centres in various continents and many countries. In each centre we would conduct activities similar to those of our base in Toronto: the training of du`aat, the distribution of our materials; and the welcoming of non-Muslims and new Muslims.
