The Impact of Da'wah on Converts from the Perspective of Islamic Studies at the Rahmatan Lil Alamin Foundation in Northern Thailand
The influence of Islamic dakwah and education carried out by Yayasan Rahmatan Lil 'Alamin needs to be studied in depth to identify the aspects of effectiveness and challenges faced by this institution in carrying out its mission. Emphasis should be given to the extent of the effectiveness of Islamic education in guiding converts towards an appreciation of true Islamic teachings. The dakwah programs and activities carried out by this foundation need to be appropriate based on the experiences of other institutions that are also active in the field of Islamic dakwah and education. Islamic education in this context needs to be holistic, with the goal of guiding converts to develop spiritually and be able to adapt socially in a balanced way. The results of the study show that the factors of aqidah, worship and morality have a significant impact on the process of strengthening faith and forming the identity of converts at Yayasan Rahmatan Lil Alamin, Northern Thailand. This study reinforces previous findings that core aspects of Islamic education play an important role in educating and guiding converts towards a more meaningful life based on Islamic law. Therefore, the institutional dakwah center based on the Ban Huai Islamic Center is very influential in guiding converts. This analysis shows a strong relationship between institutional factors and the effectiveness of dakwah and shows significant ethnic and demographic patterns among those who converted to Islam.
