The Core Da'wah Aspects in Surah Al-Kahf

Abstract

This study addresses the topic of “The Core Da'wah Aspects in Surah Al-Kahf” through an analytical approach aimed at identifying the key methods and themes of Islamic preaching embedded within this noble Surah. The research seeks to highlight the Qur’anic methodology of دعوت (calling to Allah), as manifested in the various narratives and situations presented in the Surah, such as the story of the People of the Cave, the owner of the two gardens, Moses with al-Khidr, and Dhul-Qarnayn. The study focuses on clarifying the theological, da'wah-oriented, educational, and ethical values reflected in these Qur’anic models. It also derives key preaching methods such as balancing encouragement and warning, adopting dialogue, employing parables, and following righteous examples. Furthermore, it aims to connect these aspects with contemporary reality and demonstrate their role in guiding preachers toward a balanced discourse based on wisdom and insight. The research adopts an analytical and deductive methodology by examining the verses of the Surah along with classical exegeses, in order to reach scholarly conclusions that contribute to the development of da'wah work and enhance its impact on society.The study is divided into three main sections: The first section discusses the concept of the Oneness of Allah (Tawhid) in Surah Al-Kahf. The second focuses on the concept of Prophethood and its da'wah implications. The third examines the stories of past righteous figures and their communities, highlighting their da'wah lessons. The study ultimately aims to emphasize the importance and necessity of Tawhid in da'wah, clarify the role and methodology of Prophethood, and extract lessons from past narratives to strengthen the intellectual and moral foundations of Dawah.
