LEADER S
GUIDE

Mass movement overview


iERA (Islamic Education and Research Academy) is a global
dawah organisation dedicated to presenting Islam to the
wider society. The vision of iERA is to be an engine for the
global dawah movement. Through research and development,
we aim to produce effective resources to empower Muslims
as individuals and local communities to give dawah.
One of the main focuses of iERA is to develop dawah community organisers in every
area of the UK. The dawah community organisers are iERA representatives who have a
focus on developing and supporting new and existing dawah leaders and teams within a
specified region. The dawah community organisers will have targets of helping develop
a certain amount of effective teams each year, and through this, by the will of Allah, the
output of du aat and shahadahs will drastically increase.

The mass movement foundations

Becoming a dawah leader

A key part of developing a mass movement in dawah is


for people like yourself to step up and take leadership
of the dawah within your local community. This role is
something the Quran calls our ummah to:
And let there be [arising] from you a nation inviting to [all that is] good, enjoining what
is right and forbidding what is wrong, and those will be the successful. (Quran 3:101)
A fundamental principle in leadership is that the leader is there to serve people.
The leader will need to develop some specific characteristics and qualities to be
successful. Some of the main qualities are listed below:

ConnectioN with Allah


The dawah leader will need to have a strong connection with Allah as success will only come
from Allah alone. The leader can build a stronger connection with Allah by reading the Quran as
often as possible and also by doing extra ibadah such as praying tahajjud, fasting and giving in
charity. We can learn from the seerah (the life of Muhammad (pbuh)) that Allah will test you in
different ways within the dawah, so it is important to be connected with Allah in times of ease
and in times of hardship . Along with this, it is vital that the leader focuses his intentions on
becoming a dawah leader for the sake of Allah and not for worldly gain or praise of high position.

ConnectioN with THE MISSION


It is vital for you as a dawah leader to have a love for the dawah and to be motivated by the
mission of giving the message of Islam to everyone living in your locality. One way that you can
stay motivated is by being connected to the stories of the Prophets.
Many of the stories are focused on the Prophets calling their people to Allah. These will not only
keep you motivated, but will also allow you to learn amazing lessons which will help your mission.

Leadership mind set


A leader is someone who reflects on the reality of how the world is and has a clear vision on how
he wants the world to be. The leader has a subconscious feeling that something in the world is not
right and that it is his obligation to work to make things better.
The leader has a vision. He develops a never say die attitude and is proactive in making his vision
a reality. Through the leaders vision and passion he is able to motivate others in working to make
the vision a reality.

People skills
A key part of your role as a dawah leader is to manage your local dawah team. A part of managing people
is helping other people grow and develop by giving them roles and responsibilities. The leader has a
strong personal relationship with his team and understands each members strengths and weaknesses.
You will also be communicating with others, such as the mosque committee or the local police. So you
will need to be able to talk to anyone in an effective way. Another important aspect of dealing with people
is building trust through having integrity. It is important that you do what you say and if you are not able
to meet a commitment you have made, then to communicate that and deal with the consequences.

Organisational skills
You will need to have basic organisational and IT skills as you may be involved in creating rotas and
small dawah projects. You also will need to be able to build a strong team and elevate the team by
delegating tasks.

BENEFIT FOR HUMANITY


Before his mission started, Prophet Mohammad (pbuh) already had a positive reputation in society.
For example, he was known as Al Ameen, meaning the trustworthy one. This helped set a foundation
for people trusting his message.
For more effective dawah, the local Muslim community should promote a positive reputation. To
achieve this, they should be involved in charitable activities which benefit the community such as
helping the homeless or the elderly. These activities can also be show on the local media platforms
such as a local newspaper and radio. This will result in the locals trusting the Muslim community
rather than following a negative perception which they may have from other sources.

The dawah mass


movement FOUNDATIONS

The foundations of developing the mass movement


in your area are motivation, knowledge and action.
Step 1: MOTIVATION
You will need to motivate members of the community to make
dawah a key part of their life and to join the new dawah team.
This can be done in the following ways:

You are likely to face Muslims making


excuses for not doing dawah, such
as they do not have knowledge, they
need to work on themselves or there
are other problems in the world to
deal with, such as wars and poverty.
So it is important to be persistent and
show how their excuses are invalid.
For example, for someone who said we need
to have a lot of knowledge to give dawah, a
simple reply is that the Prophet (pbuh) said,

Convey from me even


if one ayah - (Al-Bukhari)
They will know at least one verse so they have
enough knowledge to do dawah. And remind
them that dawah is only about telling people
about the basics of Islam, such as who is
Allah. They will also get training on how to do
dawah in an effective way.
People may make different excuses, however
this is only to hide the reality of them not
being motivated and passionate for the dawah.
A key way to deal with this is to motivate
them towards the dawah using their own key
interests.

- Deliver a talk on the importance of dawah and


take the names and contact details of those who
want to join the team. There may be other classes
or events that you could attend to give a short
reminder.

- Organise a dawah training course or dawah


mission which will motivate the local attendees to
make dawah a key part of their life. A Call of Duty
dawah training course or dawah mission can be
organised through the Mission Dawah website.

- Arrange for the local imaam to do a khutba


on the importance of dawah and organise a
registration table outside the mosque after the
Jummah salaah for people to join the team.

- Contact friends and family and have one to one


conversations on the vision of the new dawah team
and motivate them to join. You can also ask them
if they know anyone else who may be interested in
joining and also call them.

- Deliver a talk or arrange for a local event where


a known daee delivers a talk on the importance
of dawah. The daee should then motivate the
attendees to join the team. This will give you the
opportunity to take down the details of those
who are interested in joining the team. An iERA
speaker may be available for booking through the
Speakers Bureau page.
- Look at online social media networks to advertise
for people to join the new dawah team.

- Send an e-mail out to a local mailing list with


a reminder of the importance of dawah and
information about the new team and how to get
involved.
- Create a poster with information on how to
join the team and put it in the local mosque or
university prayer rooms.

For example, if they are passionate about


developing the Muslim youth, explain how
the Muslim youth can be developed through
getting involved in dawah. Or if they are
passionate about feeding the homeless,
explain how dawah will also help them feed
their soul and that the first to become Muslims
were from among the poor.
Everyone has a personal interest that they are
passionate about so use that to motivate them
to get involved in dawah.

Step 3: Action

Step 2: Knowledge
Those who have been motivated will then need to be educated
on how to do dawah effectively and also have the correct
understanding of how to look after new Muslims in an effective
way so that they become strong practicing Muslims.

Once they have the knowledge on how to give dawah, you will then need
to create the avenues for them to take action in calling people to Allah.
Organise the team
The Dawah Leader is the
Ameer and will be in charge of
the dawah team.

This can be learnt through:

Dawah activities

Dawah Table

The next step is to create the avenues for dawah to be done on a


regular basis. You may decide to start off small and then gradually
build up. This will depend on the amount of dedicated duaat you
Dawah materials
For the dawah activities it is likely that you will need dawah materials which can be
ordered and downloaded from the Mission Dawah website.

Creating a team rota

Setting up a dawah table is also very simple to do:

STEP 1

Purchase a solid dawah table with chairs. Cheaper


tables tend to break very easily so it is recommended
you get a strong lightweight table.

It is vital that you, as the dawah leader, contact them three days and also the night before
they are scheduled to go out to do dawah. This can be done through e-mail, text message,
messaging them in a Whatsapp group or by calling them.

STEP 2

Get dawah material and a table banner. You may also need a
plastic sheet to cover the table and the materials in case it rains.

If a daee is unable to attend their scheduled date, they should inform you a minimum of 3
days before and they should try to arrange for a replacement.

STEP 3

Pick a location that is busy, like a high street or town centre.

STEP 4

Set up the table and the banner, place the materials on the table in a
presentable way and keep one or two people behind the table while the
rest of the team does street dawah away from the table.

For regular dawah activates it is very important to create a rota and get commitment from
each da ee on attending agreed dates. This is to make sure the dawah happens consistently.

Street Dawah

Be aware not to place the table on a private property unless you ask the owners
permission. It may also be handy to get permission from the council to put the stall
in that location, but this is not always necessary.
Mini Dawah Mission

Street dawah is the simplest and easiest form of giving dawah:

STEP 1

Pick a location that is busy like a high street or town


centre. It is a good idea to choose a place where it is easy
to access a local mosque. This is so that you can take a
new Muslim to the mosque to teach them how to pray.

STEP 2

Take all of your equipment to the venue, including the


dawah material and a table if you choose to use one.

STEP 3

Give a motivational reminder to your team on why you are going out.

STEP 4

As people are walking past, you can hand out an initiation


flyer and ask open questions to get into conversations
such as: What do you think is the purpose of life?

STEP 5

Use the GORAP method to give dawah.

STEP 6

After the dawah session, go back to the mosque with the team
and have a debrief on what went well and the lessons they
learnt. You may also decide to go out for dinner to help build
brotherhood within the team.

A mini dawah mission is great to create a buzz for the dawah and also fairly easy
to organise. The mini dawah mission is a one day mission which includes a short
dawah training workshop in the morning with a focus on teaching how to do street
dawah with the GORAP method.
Thereafter the students will be taken out to a busy area to give dawah after the training.

STEP 1

Find a basic venue for training such as a mosque or a hall. Also arrange
for an area where you will go to give dawah. The area must be easy to
get to and also have a good traffic of people. It is also recommended
that the dawah area is as close as possible to the mosque so that any
new Muslims can be taken to the mosque and taught to pray straight

after taking their shahadah. You may also need to organise


cars if the dawah location is not walking distance.

Dawah Mission Schedule:


Times are subject to change depending on the salaah times.

STEP 2

Order One Reason initiation materials


through the Mission Dawah website.

STEP 3

Prepare for teaching the dawah workshop in the morning.


If no one in your team currently has the ability to teach the
workshop, then contact the Mission Dawah team who will
arrange for a daee to come and teach the dawah workshop.

STEP 4

Advertise the event through e-mails, text messages,


posters, word of mouth, and announcements at other
events. You could use eventbrite.com for a registration
system if you would like to take down details.

STEP 5

Manage the day and make sure everything goes to plan.


Some of the brothers who go out may find it difficult to get
into dawah conversations, so it is important you keep an
eye on everyone and keep encouraging all of the duaat.

STEP 6

Come back and have a team briefing where each


daee discusses the conversations they had.

Friday

Two Lectures (10/30 minutes each) on the


importance of Dawah (After Maghrib or Isha).

Saturday

Dawah Training Workshop (9.30AM - 1PM)


Street Dawah Activities (From Zuhr to Asr/Maghrib)
Two GORAP/Dawah related talks (15/30 minutes
each after Maghrib or Isha)

SUNDAY

New Muslim Development Workshop (9.30AM - 12PM)


Street Dawah Activities (12PM to Asr/Maghrib/Isha)

To organise a mission, do the following:

Full Dawah Mission


A full dawah mission is where your dawah team travels to another area and
stays over in their local mosque from Friday to Sunday. During these few days
the travelling team will help further develop the local dawah team by delivering
motivational talks, dawah training and taking them out to do street dawah.

The next step is to create the avenues for dawah to be done on a regular
basis. You may decide to start off small and then gradually build up. This
will depend on the amount of dedicated duaat you have.

STEP 1

Build relationships and get agreement with another dawah leader


to do a dawah mission in their area. Check if the mosque you will be
staying at meets the requirements to hold a dawah mission.

Requirements:

a) A venue to stay over from Friday evening to Sunday evening. This venue should
have toilets, showers, kitchen and a clean and quiet sleeping area. This venue should
also be easily accessible via public transport and there should be adequate (free/
inexpensive) parking available throughout the dawah mission.

b) A good sound system should be available during the talks and the Dawah training
workshops if needed.
c) There are tables and chairs available for the training. If tables and chairs cannot
be provided then it is possible that the workshop can be done sitting on the floor with
mini tables that are used by children during Quran classes.

STEP 2

This could be done by:

Objectives of the Dawah Mission:


Motivate and empower
members of the local
community to make
dawah a key part of
their life and to join
the local dawah team.

To give the community


knowledge on how to
effectively present the
message of Islam and
how to develop new
Muslims into strong
practicing Muslims.

Once you have agreed the venue and the date, the next step
is to advertise the dawah mission.

The dawah team that is


travelling will use this
mission to gain valuable
experience and also
develop their tarbiyyah
as they will be staying in
the mosque.

Online
social media

E-mails

Posters

Text
messages

It is vital that the local community is heavily


active in publicising the mission.

STEP 3

Confirm who will attend the mission from your team and
select people to deliver the talks and the workshop. It is
also important to select a competent Vice Ameer and to
send all contact details to the local organisers.

STEP 4

Confirm travel arrangements and also make an agreement


on how much each attendee needs to pay towards travel
and food expenses. Each member will need to pay for
themselves; however, they can fundraise by asking their
family and friends for the money. Also remind the team
members to bring their own sleeping bags and other
necessities such as medicine and toothbrushes.

STEP 5

During the mission have regular team meetings and give them a
short motivational reminder on key points, including:
- Keeping their intentions pure
- Creating brotherhood amongst the team and with the local community
(talk to people one to one in the mosque to come to dawah training)
- Using the time in the mosque to worship Allah and to grow spiritually.
Avoid too much laughing, joking and banter.
- Respect mosque etiquettes
- Listen to the Ameer because whoever disobeys the Ameer is disobeying Allah
- Not following the guidelines may lead to you being banned from
future missions

International Dawah Missions

An example of an objective could be to help develop 5 active dawah leaders and teams
within Brazil during the 2014 Brazil football world cup. This can be done by:

STEP 1

Select a country

It is vital to do research into the country. It is recommended to research the following:

- Country breakdown i.e.


major cities etc.
- Languages spoken
- Number of Muslims
- Number of mosques
- Current dawah activities
- Current dawah
organisations /teams

STEP 2

- Current dawah leaders


- Other Islamic activities
and organisations.
- Countrys religious

affiliations i.e.
60% Christian
- Influential people
- Current political situation

Build contacts

The next step is to start building relationships and inspiring others within the country
to be a part of the dawah mission. Select a representative from the country to help
and guide you during the mission.

STEP 3

Confirm the plan

Get a plan together on what you are going to do during your time in the country. For example,
you may decide to travel to 5 key areas and do a mini dawah day within each area to help
organise a new dawah team. You will also need to confirm the total cost of the mission.

Once you have a strong team set up you can also arrange
an international dawah mission. The objective of an
international dawah mission is to help develop new or
existing dawah leaders to create a mass movement of
dawah within their countries.

STEP 4

FUNDRAISE

You can fundraise for the mission by asking friends and family to finance the mission.

STEP 5

Organise the logistics

Get things prepared, including tickets, visas, vaccines and also dawah materials that you will be using.

Develop a new Muslim support system

A key aim for a dawah team is to get shahadahs from people who will
grow to become strong Muslims and will also join the local dawah team.

Mindset toward the new Muslims

MUSLIM NOW
Muslim Now is a department of iERA focusing on
helping the new Muslim to grow. It is important that you
introduce them to the Muslim Now website where they
can benefit from the Muslim Now services.
Shahadah cards
The new shahadahs details can be taken down on a shahadah card which can be ordered
through the Mission Dawah website. The shahadah cards have more details on Muslim
Now which can be given to the new Muslim.

New Muslim Gift Box


The New Muslim Gift box can be ordered for free on the Muslim Now website. The box
contains vital resources which will help the new Muslims to become practicing Muslims. It is
important that a member of the dawah team goes through the content with the new Muslim.

NRG Training
The Muslim Now department has developed a one-day training course dedicated to teach
how to effectively empower new Muslims at the very beginning of their journey and help them
to build a solid foundation of Islam in their lives to become strong believers.

The aim is not only to get a shahadah but for that new Muslim to
enter Jannah. The duaat and the new Muslims need to understand
that becoming a Muslim is not just about believing in Allah and that
Muhammad (pbuh) is the messenger.
Rather, accepting Islam is
accepting that you are going
to live your life following the
guidance that Allah has sent.
The Christian doctrine of belief is
that you only need to believe that
Jesus died for your sins and you
will be forgiven and entered into
Paradise. Many religions have
a culture that you only need to
believe that it is the truth to go
to Paradise. However, Islam does
not only deal with the internal
beliefs but also the external
actions. The new Muslims need
to understand that they will be
living their life in accordance to
Gods guidance, not just believing
something in their heart without
taking any action.
Many duaat get shahadahs,
however due to the haste of
getting the shahadah, the new

Muslim does not fully understand


what it means to be a Muslim and
often many of these cases leave
the fold of Islam afterwards. At
times, some people may need
more time to digest what it
means to become a Muslim.
Duaat need to have the mindset
that they are aiming to develop
long term friendships with the
non Muslims. The duaat should
invite non Muslims to their
house and do kind acts to build
trust and friendship. You can
introduce the non Muslim to
other practicing Muslims and
also take them to the mosque. In
this way the dawah can be done
over a longer period of time and
if the non Muslim accepts Islam,
they are more likely to become a
strong practicing Muslim.

However, you may come across


people who have already
researched into Islam and are
already ready to take their
shahadah and become a strong
practicing Muslim.
Once a daee has taken the
persons shahadah, it is
important to teach the new
Muslim how to pray as soon as
possible. It is vital to take their
details and carry on spending
time with them and introducing
them to other practicing Muslims.

Local Step by Step course


The Muslim Now department has also developed a course designed for dawah teams to
teach to their local new Muslims. This allows the new Muslims within that area to slowly
increase their knowledge and become strong practicing Muslims.

SHAHADAH APP
The new Muslims details can be taken down online via the Shahadah App which can be
found at MissionDawah.com/shahadah. The app will take you through the process of
capturing key information and will allow you to order the welcome pack for them there
and then. You can also use the app to manage all your new Muslims and as a Dawah
Leader you can view all the shahadahs that your team gets.

Local New Muslim team

Advanced dawah training

As the team grows and gets more experience, the members will come
across more intellectual issues that they may need to tackle, such as
common atheist contentions and other attacks against Islam.
For this, the iERA research department has developed courses and
webinars for duaat to gain more advanced knowledge in the dawah.
Details of these courses can be found on the Mission Dawah website.

Topics in our Islamic Thought Online Seminar Series include:

It is important for the local team to have brothers and sisters focused and dedicated to
help and support any new Muslims. If the daee is unable to look after the new Muslim,
for example if the daee is going abroad or if they are of the opposite gender, then the
new Muslim can be passed onto the New Muslim team who will teach the new Muslim
how to pray and how to become a practicing Muslim.
The New Muslim team should do the following:

Organise an NRG training


course so that the local team
understands the importance
of a quality shahadah and how
to develop a new Muslim into a
strong practicing Muslim.

Organise a regular new Muslim


dinner. You can start doing this
by simply organising a monthly
dinner in a small restaurant,
house or mosque.

This is a great way to spend quality time with the new Muslims and for them to
meet other people in the same situation. You can also invite other non-Muslims
who are interested in Islam

Organise and teach the Step by Step course.


You can also initially use this for the duaat within the team to come together
and socialise. You can also invite other potential duaat as it may motivate them
to join the team. The team will also be motivated from meeting the new Muslim.

Regular dawah campaigns

There will be other dawah campaigns and projects that iERAs One
Reason will be developing, such as the Neighbours dawah project
or the Olympics dawah campaigns.
You may also wish to develop your own dawah projects, such as door to door knocking, open days or
presentations to the public. We recommend you do a quarterly dawah campaign; however, this can be
done as frequently as you want.

Develop a consistent team

Finally, many dawah teams fade away due to lack of motivation, passion
and vision. The difference between a team that fades away and one that is
successful is to do with the leader.
You, as the leader, must organise regular activities and training to motivate the duaat and to also
regularly bring in new duaat. It is also vital for you to develop other leaders to help you so that if you
are away, the dawah will still carry on.

STEP 2

Power Analysis

Do research into the area on other mosques, Islamic activities or dawah teams to get
an idea of where you can set up another dawah team or support existing teams.
Also, look out for influential individuals who have the power to create change within
the community, with whom you can build positive relationships.

STEP 3

Develop another team

Go through the same cycle and develop another effective dawah team. This cycle can be
done many times so that you help develop many effective dawah teams.
As you grow and get more experience as an informal dawah community organiser, you will
get the opportunity to apply to become a formal iERA dawah community organiser.
