🌙 ICCD Da‘wah Committee

Our Mission

The Da‘wah Committee at the Islamic Community Center of Des Plaines (ICCD) is dedicated to sharing the beauty, depth, and mercy of Islam with clarity, humility, and wisdom. Rooted in the Qur’an and Sunnah, our mission is to invite others to understand the faith—not through pressure or argument, but through sincere dialogue, ethical conduct, and compassionate service.

“Invite to the way of your Lord with wisdom and good instruction, and argue with them in a way that is best.”
— Surah An-Nahl (16:125)

🌟 What We Do

• Educational Outreach
  We organize seminars, open houses, and interfaith dialogues to foster understanding of Islamic beliefs, practices, and values.

• New Muslim Support
  We provide mentorship, resources, and spiritual guidance for those who have recently embraced Islam, helping them integrate into the community with dignity and support.

• Community Engagement
  Through service projects, neighborhood outreach, and public events, we demonstrate Islam’s emphasis on mercy, justice, and social responsibility.

• Resource Development
  We curate and distribute literature, videos, and digital content that explain Islamic teachings in accessible and respectful ways.

• Interfaith Collaboration
  We build bridges with other faith communities to promote mutual respect, shared values, and peaceful coexistence.

🤲 Why Da‘wah Matters

Da‘wah is not just about words—it’s about character, sincerity, and service. It is a prophetic responsibility and a communal duty to represent Islam with integrity and compassion. Whether through a kind gesture, a thoughtful conversation, or a public initiative, every act of Da‘wah is a reflection of our faith and our commitment to truth.
