The importance of Dialogue in Dawah in the age Media And Globalization
Abstract
In the present age, the media and the means of communication have so
advanced that a person died fifty years ago, if resurrected in this world, will be
embarrassed with this horrible change. The whole world has become a small
village in which cultures have been so intermingledthat the stronger one is
engulfing the weaker one. However, the distances among individuals
belonging to different cultures are shrinking and the political and geographical
boundaries are still collapsing.
Due to these drastic transformations, every idea or thinking (good or bad) finds
an easy course to make anentryeverywhere as a result every purpose has
become attainable. Similarly, every individual, group and ideology has been
provided with an equal opportunity of taking advantage and preaching Islamic
ideology and injunctions have no exceptions. In the modern age, we find
multiple techniques of Dawah in which the technique of Dialogue, whose
manifestations are observed on media every day. It is a distinctive way
mentioned in the Quran and Sunnah and practiced by Muslims from the very
first day in thefield of Islamic Dawah.
This article studies the technique of dialogue in Dawah perspective from the
following aspects: Meaning of dialogue, the best way of Dawah, its etiquettes
and conditions like it must be among people not religions. Furthermore, its
advantages, dialogue or clash, its importance in the age of globalization, the
clash between science and church and the self-defeatism of Muslims. The
paper proves that Islam prefers the way of dialogue to convey its message and
in this regard we find many examples in the Quran and Sunnah. The Muslims,
living in the global village, must use this tool to invite humanity to the only
way of success in this world and hereafter.
