IDT's Bulletin | Team IDT | 25 September 2025

Alhamdulillah, Interactive Dakwah and Tarbiyah (IDT), in collaboration with Majlis Ugama Islam dan Adat Resam Melayu Pahang (MUIP), successfully organized the 2nd Batch of DawahPro Fundamental Orang Asli from 13–17 September 2025 at Dawah Academy International, Wisma IDT, Kuala Lumpur. The five-day training gathered 28 participants for an intensive program aimed at strengthening Islamic understanding and da’wah skills. Guided by Bro Lim Jooi Soon and Ustaz Amin Yaacob, participants engaged in interactive lessons, quizzes, and presentations — culminating in a closing ceremony attended by Tuan Haji Mohd Ali bin Mat Dasir and Chris Lim from MUIP. The program celebrated top performers including Susila binti Abdullah, who won both 1st Place and Best Presenter. This meaningful collaboration continues to empower the Orang Asli community with knowledge, confidence, and a stronger commitment to da’wah.

The five days were filled with energy, interaction, and discovery. Each session ended with a short quiz to encourage focus and participation. Marks were collected based on quizzes, attendance, attitude, and presentations — not just for memorizing facts, but to nurture discipline, teamwork, and commitment.

The training covered a wide range of essential da’wah topics, guided by experienced IDT trainers, Bro Lim Jooi Soon and Ustaz Amin Yaacob. Throughout the sessions, participants deepened their understanding of the core principles of Islam and faith, explored interfaith dynamics, and learned practical methods for conveying Islam in a way that is clear, respectful, and relevant to different audiences. The trainers also shared insights on contemporary issues often discussed in dialogues with non-Muslims, providing participants with both the knowledge and the skills to respond wisely and confidently. By the end of the program, the participants not only strengthened their foundation in Islamic knowledge but also gained the ability to communicate the message of Islam with wisdom, empathy, and professionalism. To make the experience even more engaging, the third day featured a group presentation session where participants were divided into four teams. Each group showcased creativity, teamwork, and spirit, making the learning atmosphere lively and enjoyable. Small prizes were given to appreciate their effort and enthusiasm.

The final day marked the highlight of the week. In the morning, every participant presented individually on the theme Creator vs Creation (CvC) — for many, it was their first time speaking before an audience. Despite their nervousness, their sincerity and courage stood out, reflecting the personal growth they achieved in just five days. The Closing Ceremony followed in the afternoon, attended by Tuan Haji Mohd Ali bin Mat Dasir, Director of the Islamic Management and Development Division of MUIP, and Chris Lim, MUIP’s Da’wah Officer. Their presence showed MUIP’s continued support for da’wah development among the Orang Asli.

The ceremony was filled with joy and gratitude as participants’ dedication was acknowledged. Every participant received a certificate of participation, while outstanding performers were honored with special awards:

1st Place: Susila binti Abdullah

2nd Place: Nur Syaidatul Izzati bt Bah Him

3rd Place: Nur Ayra Haniyah binti Bah Jat

Susila also received the Best Presenter Award for her clarity and confidence, making it a double celebration of her dedication and growth.

In his closing remarks, Bro Lim Jooi Soon reminded the participants that the training was not the end, but the beginning of their real da’wah journey that continues within their villages, families, and communities. Tuan Haji Mohd Ali also praised their commitment and encouraged them to apply what they had learned with patience, humility, and compassion.

For IDT, DawahPro Fundamental Orang Asli Batch 13 was more than just a training program. It was a meaningful journey of learning, reflection, and personal growth. Over the five days, participants strengthened their faith, gained practical knowledge, and developed the courage to stand as ambassadors of Islam. IDT hopes that each participant will bring this spirit back to their communities—spreading knowledge, building confidence, and sharing Islam with sincerity and compassion. With every new batch, the seeds of da’wah continue to take root and grow stronger among the Orang Asli, bringing guidance and light to future generations.
