| Since the dawn of the Prophet's (PBUH) mission, Islamic Da‘wah (calling to Islam) has been the living and dynamic manifestation of religion's presence in the realm of social communication and human guidance. The Holy Quran, through the triad of "wisdom, good exhortation, and dialectical argumentation in the best manner" (Nahl: 125), outlines a comprehensive framework for the communicative logic of Da‘wah, wherein religious guidance is founded upon rationality, ethics, and dialogue. However, in the past century, following extensive epistemological, media, and civilizational transformations, the discourse of Islamic Da‘wah has faced challenges in communicating and interacting with the contemporary audience. Employing critical discourse analysis and drawing upon the teachings of the Quran and Prophetic Sunnah, the present study examines this situation and reconstructs communicative rationality in contemporary Islamic Da‘wah discourse. The research findings indicate that the fundamental problem in the current state of Islamic Da‘wah lies not in the epistemological richness of religion or the weakness of its content, but in a disorder and rupture in "communicative rationality"; a rationality which, in some contemporary manifestations, has distanced itself from the Prophetic model of dialogue and, in relation to the media world and new communicative spaces, has become ambiguous and reactive. Based on this analysis, the article, relying on revelatory foundations, the theory of communicative rationality, and historical experiences of Islamic Da‘wah, proposes a model for reconstructing communicative rationality organized around five axes: Wisdom as dialogical practical rationality, Dialogue ethics as the foundation of Da‘wah interaction, Rational persuasion beyond emotional arousal, Strengthening discursive solidarity within the Muslim Ummah, and Reproducing the language of Da‘wah in accordance with contemporary media and cultural transformations. Accordingly, the research's innovation lies in presenting an integrated model of Quranic rationality and modern communication theories, which can open a new horizon for the effective, dialogue-centered revival of Islamic Da‘wah in the contemporary world. The discourse of Islamic Da‘wah, in the logic of the Quran and Sunnah, is not merely a proselytizing action or the transmission of a set of doctrinal teachings. Rather, it is a deeply communicative, rational, and ethics-oriented process whose ultimate goal is human guidance through understanding, persuasion, and conscious choice. In this framework, Da‘wah is based not on coercion, but on dialogue, rational explanation, and ethical interaction, recognizing the audience as a free agent and a partner in the process of understanding. Hence, Islamic Da‘wah can be considered a form of communicative action aimed at creating meaning, shaping shared understanding, and organizing individual and social life based on divine values. However, examining the state of Islamic Da‘wah discourse in the contemporary world reveals that, despite its epistemological richness and revelatory authenticity, this discourse has faced a noticeable decline in effectiveness within the public sphere. Signs of this reduced efficacy can be observed in the distancing of segments of society, especially the new generation, from official Da‘wah discourses, the diminished persuasive power of religious messages, and the relative inability of Da‘wah to compete with rival discourses in cultural, media, and intellectual arenas. This situation presents a fundamental question for research in the field of Da‘wah: Why has the discourse of Islamic Da‘wah, despite its content stability and richness, encountered challenges at the communicative and persuasive levels? In response to this question, a significant portion of analyses has sought the reasons for Da‘wah's reduced effectiveness in external factors, such as rapid media transformations, the complexities of the modern world, political and cultural pressures, the spread of rival discourses, or the emergence of extremist movements claiming to represent religion. Undoubtedly, these factors play a role in shaping the current situation, but a one-sided focus on them risks overlooking deeper layers of the problem. Such an approach inadvertently portrays Islamic Da‘wah merely as a "victim of external circumstances" and limits the possibility of critical rethinking of the internal structure of Da‘wah discourse. However, the fundamental issue is that the crisis in Islamic Da‘wah discourse cannot be attributed solely to factors external to the discourse; rather, a significant part of this crisis is rooted in the internal organization of Da‘wah discourse and the communicative logic governing it. In many contemporary instances, Da‘wah discourse has distanced itself from the dialogical communication model and has gravitated towards models relying on one-sided oratory, repetition of ready-made propositions, short-term emotional stimulation, or the language of authority. In such a model, the audience is considered not as a rational agent with the right to question, but as a passive recipient. This change in the relationship between the caller (da‘i) and the audience is a fundamental sign of dysfunction in religious communication logic. | ||
