Da'i
A da'i (Template:Lang-ar, [ˈdæːʕi(ː)]) is generally someone who engages in da'wah, the act of inviting people to Islam.[1]
In the Fatimid Caliphate era, the term dāʿī was used to refer to important religious leaders other than the hereditary Imams, and the Da'wah or "Mission" is a clerical-style organisation.
