Dawah (New & Non-Muslims)

” Dawah ” In a world of inquisitiveness, bewilderment, and misinformation regarding Islam, the activity of Dawah calling to the truth is one of the most honorable tasks a Muslim may engage in. Deep down, Dawah is not about arguments or debates. It is about touching hearts and minds with sincerity, clarity, and compassion.

At Nobel Books, we see the value in teaching new Muslims and non-Muslims alike about the basics of Islam. If you’re a born Muslim looking to give a gift to someone, or a convert to the faith seeking guidance, our Dawah range is for you.

Our carefully chosen book list features introductions to Islam, dispelling common misconceptions, reverts’ guidance, and spiritual reflections for those in the discovery journey.

What Is Dawah?

Dawah is “invitation.” In Islam, it is referring to inviting people to learn about the message of Islam the oneness of One God, living a purposeful life, and adhering to the guidance of the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ.

The Prophet ﷺ himself was the ideal da’i (caller to Islam). He was gentle, wise, and patient in approaching people. His character and behavior won hearts long before words were ever spoken. This is the model of Dawah that our collection of books wants to mirror.

Why New & Non-Muslims?

Non-Muslims get an incorrect portrayal of Islam by the media. Genuine seekers will find it difficult to obtain balanced, genuine, and non-sensational resources. Books are one of the most powerful and enduring mediums to give the message of Islam a good and proper presentation.

For reverts and new Muslims, the process can be daunting. Transitions into new habits, sourcing credible information, and living as a Muslim can be daunting. Books that are easy to read, empathetic, and based in real knowledge can be a lifeline.

Our Dawah section is intended to serve both these groups by providing:

Easy and clear answers to Islamic beliefs, Answers to frequently asked questions and misconceptions, Revert stories and their inspiring experiences and Practical guidance for everyday life as a Muslim.
