Da’wah (The Islamic call to guidance) was established to build Muslim societies based on kindness and gentleness while preserving human dignity. However, tyranny in our societies has oppressed and enslaved people. To escape oppression, many have resorted to violence as a means to liberate themselves and their communities from the oppression. The association of violence with oppression and the use of violence as a tool to overcome it has not been adequately addressed in studies using a da’wah (The Islamic call to guidance) methodology. This study aims to explore the issue of human violence in societies characterized by tyranny and authoritarianism and to address it using a da'wah methodology. The study employs a descriptive-analytical method that describes the problem and analyses its primary causes, which lie in the tyranny that oppresses people and produces counter-violence that spreads within society. This methodology led to several key findings, including that violence generates counter-violence, and gentleness yields only goodness. The worst type of violence is that which stems from oppression. Oppression creates a lack of belonging and a sense of insecurity within society. Violence and its crimes become a tool for the oppressed to resist the tyranny of oppressors. The oppressed individual feels alienated within their own society. The oppressed do not care for their society or its properties. The study concludes with insights and recommendations aimed at addressing these issues effectively.
