North America, (IINA) - Revisiting huge success in last year’s event, teams of enthusiastic Muslims have been invited for the second Global Da`wah Day across the six continents, planned next Saturday, OnIslam reported.
“Global Da`wah Day is an International Da`wah Day that will happen on June 20, where international teams across six continents globally will come together to do da`wah,” Islamic Circle on North America (ICNA) said on its website.
Last year, Muslims from 60+ countries across six continents registered for the Global Dawah Day, making it one the biggest Da’wah days in modern history. This year, in light of the Charlie Hebdo and Garland shootings, where satirical caricatures of Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) provoked a violent reaction, negative perceptions of Muslims fanned by the media and politicians has in many cases led to Islamophobic attacks.
The world’s first Global Dawah Day last July 5 was planned by the Islamic Education & Research Academy (IERA).
Under the title, “What’s Your Goal?”, the campaign was designed to convey the message of Islam while collaborating with other organizations and fellow Muslims.
This year’s campaign was designed under the slogan “Who Do You Love?” to share with the world why Muslims love the Prophet (PBUH).
Those registered received training on the day, learning how to share with others why Muslims love the Prophet (PBUH) and why they should love him.
“Let June 20th be the seed that begins the conversation on Islam with your co-workers, neighbors, friends and many more. Let’s do our part in sharing the gift we are blessed with. It defines who you are!” an invitation to the event was shared on YouTube.
The effort is not the first by ICNA to present an accurate image of Islam.
The pamphlets covered a number of subjects, including the relationship of Muslims to Christians and Jews, human rights, status of women, the afterlife, worship and one titled "What does Islam say about terrorism?"
