This book was one of the titles selected for the Wardah Books Islamic Civilisation Book Club 2021.

Cross-cultural da'wah is a contemporary approach to da'wah relevant to the age of globalisation. The main feature is engagement between societies and cultures. It aims at presenting the message of Islam to humanity in a comprehensive manner not restricted to the politics of religions, cultures and civilisations. The cross-cultural dimension also requires Muslims to expose themselves to learn about other religions and cultures they encounter every day.
