Yayasan Dakwah Islamiah Malaysia (Yadim) today received a visit from international preacher Dr Zakir Naik at its headquarters in Precinct 3, Putrajaya.

In a statement, Yadim said that during the one-hour visit, president Nik Omar Nik Abdul Aziz and Zakir exchanged views on current issues and those related to dakwah (missionary) activities.

"Yadim and Zakir agreed that the best way to carry out dakwah was through the ‘rahmah’ approach by finding common ground and avoiding hostility and disunity," said Yadim.

Yadim and Zakir also agreed that in carrying out dakwah, the rights of non-Muslims must be met while the rights of Muslims must be defended, it said.
