Da’wah means a ‘call’ or ‘invitation’; which means to invite non-Muslims to Islam as well as the Muslims to the true understanding and practice of Islam.
But many a times, in context, it refers to the invitation of Islam extended to those who are yet to believe in or accept Islam.
‘Islaah’ literally means ‘to repair’ or ‘to
improve’. In an Islamic context, it refers
to efforts to improve Muslims or to correct them.
Difference between Da'wah and Islah :
Da'wah in Arabic actually means an invitation and an invitation can only be given to an out sider. And in Islamic
terminology, Da'wah ul Islam means an invitation to Islam.
When we speak about Islam to a non Muslim inviting to Islam it's called Dawah.
✊ Many people even think when we speak
about Islam to Muslim it's called Da'wah and they use this term Da'wah for both types of talk.
Basically when we speak about Islam to a Muslim calling him
closer or letting him know more about Islam the more appropriate word is Islah.
May Almighty Allah give us the understanding and deep knowledge in Islam ...
Ameen
