Dawah Front of Nigeria
Da’wah Front of Nigeria is a modest response to the spiritual yearning and felt gap in the development of Muslims in our environment. The existing for a and media of interactions were considered inadequate to meet the dynamic but sophisticated needs of certain category of Muslims. It was in response to the pressure to bridge the gap, provide the felt needs and create avenues for opportune learning and practice of Islam in an easy-to-know manner that gave birth to Da’wah Front of Nigeria in 1996.
The first objective of spiritual liberation of our brethren was felt achievable through the institution of monthly Tahajjud vide Qur’an 17:78-81 and Qur’an 73:1-8. Alhamdulillaah, today ample private and public testimonies of Allaah’s promise and fulfilment and the spread of this command throughout the Southwest Nigeria and even beyond justify our hopes of reward from Allaah.
With a motto – “Islam is Simple”; a vision to a leading propagator of Islam as a simple, attractive and accessible way of life; and a mission to promote Islamic brotherhood, life fulfilment and excellence in Da’wah activities, Da’wah Front has worked since inception towards the education and re-education of Muslims, especially, the Muslim elites and we also tried to present Islam in its best of form to the non-Muslims.

NATIONAL PROGRAMMES
NATIONAL MUKHAYYAM: This is a 3-day weekend programme which holds quarterly. It therefore holds once every three months and four times in every Hijrah calendar year. It features topical issues and discussion projects around a chosen theme. Selected participants visit Raatib Mosques around the venue of the programme (which is usually a Central Mosque) to give Da’wah and invite people to the venue.
The essence of the whole programme is to uplift, train and develop the spiritual and intellectual wellbeing of members and non-members of Da’wah Front of Nigeria and to challenge them to rise to their duties and responsibilities and good Muslims. Attendees are expected to inculcate what has taught and also teach others.
The venue of the programme is rotated amongst Chapters.

The purpose is to identify and address issues and challenges facing Muslim families in their marriages, homes and workplaces with the view of providing solutions to such issues and challenges within the Absolute Reference Frame – ARF (i.e. Qur’aan and Sunnah).
DAURA: This is an annual holiday camping programme that holds in the month of December in every Gregorian calendar year. It is usually designed to coincide with the Christmas celebrations.

It is a programme that is open to members and non-members of Da’wah Front of Nigeria. And it provides the opportunity for youths, children and their parents from far and near to congregate for educational, spiritual and social development activities which add quality to their holiday.
