Summary/Abstract: Reflecting on the Islamic call (Da'wah), it is evident that the teachings (lessons) are not new in the field of Da'wah, although the novelty lies in the organization and programming, as well as the potential for communication. The teachings encompass the substance of knowledge imparted or lectured by a specific imam systematically, at a specific time and place. Lessons are considered the most successful means of communication in Da'wah, as they contain or have strong and direct connections between the speaker and the listener, as well as the substance of knowledge. They are also considered faithful links between the preacher and the one that is called, establishing a stable connection that eliminates all dilemmas and obstacles to learning anything new and interesting to the masses. In most cases, the explanation of a verse, a saying of the Prophet (peace be upon him), or an explanation of issues in Islamic jurisprudence (Fiqh) should be provided during the lectures. Typically, a small number of participants attend these sessions, who attentively listen to the lecture, providing an excellent opportunity for the callers to offer them knowledge about the fundamental books of Sharia and strengthen their ties. It is also essential for the lecturer to be well-prepared for the presentation and not deviate too much from the core of the topic, as excessive deviation makes the listener lose interest in the essence of the subject and subsequently become bored with the lesson. Additionally, during teaching sessions involving the commentary on the Quran, it is preferable that the commentary is done with the Quran itself, as the Book of Allah is best explained through its verses. When an explanation cannot be found within the verses, then the sayings of the Prophet are utilized, and if not available, the opinions of Quranic commentators, the Prophet’s companions (the sahabah), and the followers of the sahabah (the tabi’un) are taken into consideration.
