On July 26, 2024, Dr. Safwan Saparudin, one of our Asia Pacific Country Coordinators (APCC), embarked on a da’wah trip to Cambodia under the initiative “Cakna Kemboja.” The main goal of the trip was to engage with local duat to establish connections and understand the dynamics of da’wah in the region. From the engagements Dr Safwan learnt about the methods used by local duat and Islamic organisations to convey the message of Islam and gained insights into the da’wah practices prevalent in Cambodia.

Alhamdulillah, Dr. Safwan and the local duat were able to have a good session on sharing of experiences and reached a  mutual understanding on establishing a collaborative partnership to achieve their shared goal of spreading the message of Islam.

The mission began in Kampot, Cambodia, where Dr. Safwan Saparudin visited Steng Kav village as part of the Kafilah Dakwah project, organised by the Light of Knowledge & Charity Organization (LKCO). During this visit, young duat  from LKCO shared the message of Islam with the village community, many of whom were new to the faith.

The session provided attendees with insights into fundamental Islamic topics, such as the purpose of life and humanity’s destiny. It also offered them the opportunity to ask questions that had been on their minds and seek answers about Islam. Alhamdulillah, by Allah’s will, a woman embraced Islam and returned to her natural faith.
