Insha'Allah we are available to help with da'wah activities (including presentations on Islam and da'wah workshops) around the GTA, and we are willing to support other efforts around Canada. In recent years we have witnessed a surge in vicious attacks on Islam by the Media which has resulted in an atmosphere of distrust and enmity towards the Muslim populace in the western world. In fact repeated surveys have shown people continue to distrust Muslims and feel that they constitute the fifth column in their respective societies. As a result of this we have witnessed a marked increase in hate crimes against Muslims in various countries including association of Islam with violence. We believe a lot of it stems from the misconstrued representation of Islam either be it deliberate or from ignorance by the media. Therefore we feel it is our duty to inform people about Islam and what it stands for as opposed to the negative media rhetoric which continues to associate everything negative with Islam. There are a lot of ways which can be employed to inform and deescalate the environment of hysteria which exists today. One way we believe is to be out on the streets, available with Islamic literature including educated Muslims who can clarify and rebut allegations against Islam. We give out a variety of free introductory literature on Islam including a Translation of the Quran, small pamphlets and a DVD at Dundas Sqaure DownTown Toronto. We also carry literature in different languages like French, Italian, Spanish, Portuguese, Chinese, Russian, Greek and German.

SubhanAllah 6 shahaadas with our Street Dawah Toronto team across two locations in the city. Those taking shahaada included brothers from Panama, and Jamaica as well as two sisters - one of whom was an elderly lady from Thunder Bay where there are very few Muslims. Out of respect for the privacy of some of our reverts we cannot share all their photos.

Street Dawah Toronto interviews Korra who joined us for her first ever street da'wah experience. Da'wah is not for everyone - especially the ladies. The very people who seemingly show "concern" for Muslim women are often the most aggressive towards our female daees, and it is our mahrams/brothers who step forward to take over. Many people ask why we do it and what it involves - watch the interview for some insight.

Jummah Mubarak from Street Dawah Toronto, Camada.

A few days ago our Street Dawah Toronto team was joined by IjazTheTrini and Korra. Street Dawah Toronto gave Korra her first experience of engaging in street da'wah and she was well received.

***Watch this space for an upcoming interview with Korra by one of our daiyas.***

Another shahaada with a sister from The Netherlands. Alhumdulillah. After time spent doing her own research and speaking with one of our daiyas she knew that she was ready to embrace Islam. Allah Hu Akbar.
It is not often easy for women to approach a da'wah group on the street when it's all male duaat - women have shared that they were more comfortable to approach our group and engage on days they noticed the presence of our female daiyas.

A quantitative and qualitative assessment of female converts found that 92.8% of participants were motivated by the appeal of Islamic moral values over secular Western values. The research concluded that active theological reasons such as the simplicity of Islamic monotheism, or Tawhid, and an alignment with Islamic definitions of gender equity and legal protections were vastly more important to women than passive social reasons (like marrying a Muslim partner). This is contrary to the common misconception that Islam has nothing to offer women.

Alhumdulillah NINE shahaadas across three teams of our daees giving da'wah in Toronto. (Only two photos are being shared in this post due to privacy reasons for some of our revert brothers and sisters).

Occasionally, it is questioned whether these shahaadas were "sincere", and why we share the numbers in shahaadas. To clarify: 1) We are here to share the message of Islam, outline the articles of faith, and establish whether or not the individuals we engage with have doubts that hinder them from becoming Muslim. We then try to establish whether they are at a stage of learning where they are ready to take the shahaada. A special effort is made to ask each individual if they understand the step of shahaada and what it means, and that they are not under any pressure to take the shahaada.

2) We are not in any position to doubt, judge, or question what is hidden in the hearts of those who take their shahaadas with our team members. We are here to facilitate the outward process, and only Allah swt knows what is hidden in the hearts. Our daees also make an effort to connect the reverts with a support network.

3) Finally, we do not share our shahaadas online as a means of earning views , likes, or personal praise (all praise is due to Allah - it is Allah swt who guides), and we often abstain from sharing photos of our revert brothers and sisters for privacy reasons). We share our shahaadas as a means of inspiration for others to engage in conversations with Muslims, for Muslims to engage in da'wah, for our book donors to be informed that their efforts bear fruit, and to invite people to make duas for our revert brothers and sisters, our duaat, and their respective families.

May Allah swt accept the efforts of the daees and those who take their shahaadas. Ameen.

Alhumdulillah 9 shahaadas (6 sisters and 3 brothers) between our daees in the Toronto area: these included a sister from an indigenous background, and a shahaada during a Palestine march in Toronto. All praise is due to Allah swt. Allah Hu Akbar.
May Allah swt grant us and our revert brothers and sisters strength in knowledge, practice and passion for the deen. Ameen. Our team also took da'wah to the Ontario city of Waterloo doing back-to-back da'wah with IERA during a small annual festival (Lumen).
[NOTE: Photos and videos of some shahaadas are not uploaded for privacy reasons]

"This is a message to all people, so that they may be warned by it, and know that He is the only God, and so that those who have minds may take heed" ~Qurʾān 14:52

Sometimes it's enough to ask people to reflect on the creation of Allah swt. SubhanAllah. Allah Hu Akbar.

Surah Ali 'Imran (3:191):“Who remember Allah while standing or sitting or [lying] on their sides and give thought to the creation of the heavens and the earth, [saying], 'Our Lord, You did not create this aimlessly...'”

Over 30 hours of back-to-back da'wah between Toronto and Hamilton, Ontario, and collaboration with Dawah Canada. Hundreds of books on Islam distributed, over 100 Qur'an translations given, and many conversations with positive feedback. Alhumdulillah.
Nothing of creation can challenge the Creator. Allah Hu Akbar.
