Abstract
Da’wah (preaching of Islam) is one of the significant themes of Islamic scholarship. Numerous works have been written on this theme—its guiding principles, importance, strategies, and other inter-related aspects—in different languages (like Arabic, English, and Urdu). In the Urdu language, especially from the second half of the 20th century, a great deal of literature has been produced on the different dimensions of this theme.
In this essay, an appraisal and assessment of ten (10) works on Da’wah in Urdu language, produced from 1950s to 2000s, has been made. These works deal with da’wah and its various theoretical aspects like methodology, tactics, policies, and principles, as well as with various practical aspects and dimensions. Reviewed and assessed as per the dates of their publication, not as per their contents or the subject matter, an appraisal of these works reveals that the Urdu literature is not only rich on highlighting this particular theme of Islamic scholarship, but this literature is significant and commendable as well. This essay will prove helpful and useful (in general) to those readers who have no access to these books; and to the English readers (in particular) who are not familiar with these works.
