"da'wah"（宣教/劝导）是一种引导与鼓励的行为。若你召唤一个人归信伊斯兰，就意味着你使他倾向于你所召唤的内容，并激发他对此的兴趣。因此，向伊斯兰的宣教不仅限于言语，还包括一切能够引发倾向与兴趣的事物，无论是言语还是行动。所以，宣教既通过行动，也通过言语来传达。穆斯林通过自身的遵守，为他用口舌所召唤的内容树立了活生生的榜样，并通过坚守真理，彰显伊斯兰的真实面貌。

Therefore, the da’wah to Islam is not restricted to speech only, but includes whatever inclines and creates interest, of speech or action. Thus, the da’wah is conveyed in the form of actions and speech. The Muslim, by his own adherence, gives the living example of what he calls to with his tongue, and manifests the true image of Islam by adhereing to the truth.
