In the heart of the Philippines, a small group of five men carries a mission far greater than their numbers. Ustadh Mansour Ticsay, Omar Nuguid, Kuya Bob Dela Cruz, Brother Lufti, and Brother Abdul Karim make up the IERA Philippine Team Dawah—brothers united by their passion to share the message of Islam.
From the bustling streets of Pampanga to the quiet towns of Visayas, their footsteps have reached families, students, and entire communities. They knock on doors, set up booths in town centers, speak on radio shows, and even train others through the GORAP method, ensuring that the call to Islam is passed on with clarity and wisdom. No place is too small, no audience too humble; wherever they go, they bring conversation, connection, and hope.
What makes their work unique is not just the invitation to Islam, but the care that follows. When someone takes shahadah, the journey doesn’t end—it begins. The team walks alongside new Muslims, guiding them in prayer, answering questions, and welcoming them into the wider Muslim community. This post-shahadah support has become the heartbeat of their mission, turning moments of faith into lives of steadfastness.
Despite being few in number, their impact has spread across provinces—strengthening Islamic awareness, building partnerships with local organizations, schools, and even police forces, and empowering ordinary Muslims to become confident da’ees themselves. Their story is a reminder that strength does not lie in numbers, but in sincerity, unity, and perseverance.
Alhamdulillah, through their dedication, countless lives have been touched, misconceptions dispelled, and hearts opened to the beauty of Islam. The Philippine Team Dawah proves that when a small group commits wholeheartedly to the path of Allah, the results can echo far beyond what anyone might expect.
