The answer

To achieve the objectives of the dawah trip, the داعية (caller to Islam) must adhere to the (piety) of Allah and sincerity, be a good role model, be keen on lowering his gaze, preferably wear Arab clothing, and offer the miswak.

Necessary travel precautions must be taken, such as vaccination, currency exchange, and documenting addresses, while avoiding any insinuation of offering financial aid, and being cautious about engaging in discussions about marriage.

It is recommended to bring books, Qur'ans, and audio materials, make use of time for dawah, and consider the level of knowledge and sectarian differences.

The داعية should be characterized by wisdom, answer jurisprudential questions with evidence, rotate giving lessons among participants, and learn about the conditions of Muslims and religious institutions to strengthen ties.
