Du’a, efficacy, da’wah programmesAbstract
Supplication was viewed as man’s response to the exigency of the condition, in which he was driven to seek security, status, prosperity, sustainability and permanence by identifying himself with a reality greater, more worthy and more durable than himself. Being aware of this fact, man always seeks assistance from his Lord over daily challenges and endeavours. A da‘i whose task is to call people to the Way of his Lord could not but seek the help of this Lord to grant him success and to remove any impediment that may hinder his ability to discharge his duty effectively. It is against this background that this paper aims to assess the role of supplication in da‘wah programmes. To achieve this, Qur’anic approach that x-rays the prayers of the Prophets of Islam to facilitate their da‘wah programmes was adopted. This approach has been recommended for present day duaat who intend to carry out da’wah programmes to enable them successful in their missionary activities.
