This in-depth article thoroughly explores the significance of Mawdu' Dakwah (the subject matter of Islamic propagation) and its effective delivery to new Muslim converts (Muallaf). It underscores the critical role of subject matter and its delivery in facilitating the understanding and practice of Islam among individuals who have recently embraced the faith. The study emphasizes the need for Dakwah strategies that are relevant and adaptable to the diverse backgrounds, languages, and levels of comprehension that new converts bring. It recognizes the challenges new Muslim converts often face due to differences in culture and language, emphasizing the role of preachers and religious educators in addressing these challenges. A primary focus of this research is the prioritization of fundamental Islamic principles, particularly the five pillars of faith. The article stresses the importance of ensuring that new converts have a comprehensive understanding of these foundational elements, which are central to Islamic teachings. Additionally, the study underscores the importance of using various communication channels (Wasilah Dakwah) to effectively deliver Islamic teachings. The adoption of technology and multilingual approaches is highlighted as a means to sustain the engagement and interest of new converts. Ultimately, it is a collective responsibility within the Muslim community to facilitate the understanding, practical application, and dissemination of Islamic teachings, particularly to new converts. By employing relevant and effective Dakwah methods, we can enhance the understanding and practice of Islam among new converts, contributing to the broader advancement of the Muslim ummah. This article offers valuable insights into the dynamics of effective Dakwah for new Muslim converts.
