“As a Daee of Islam my research on Kashmiri Society and its social evils had made me realise that I must play an active part in mitigating the crisis. The very idea motivated me to do Dawah especially through Facebook and other social media platforms. I believe that social media is a good Dawah tool in today’s technology – enriched world, which must be used by all those who have authentic and good knowledge of Islam, as preaching Dawah needs to be authentic and enthusiastic. The basic objective is to inculcate education with Islamic integration and impart skills among people of the world.” Raashid said.
