Da'watul Haq (Arabic: دعوة الحق) was a quarterly Arabic magazine published by Darul Uloom Deoband under the supervision of Muhammad Tayyib Qasmi from 1965 to 1975, subsequently replaced by Al-Da'i.[1] Founded and developed by Wahiduzzaman Kairanawi, it became Darul Uloom Deoband's inaugural Arabic magazine,[2] with the primary mission of acquainting Arabic-speaking regions with Darul Uloom Deoband and translating its educational content into Arabic.[3] The magazine aimed to present Islam as a dynamic and relevant faith, addressing objections and emphasizing that the Quran and Islam serve as foundations for progress rather than impediments.[4] It also aimed to elevate the Arabic language and literature in both India and the Arab world.[5] Scholars like Saeed Ahmad Akbarabadi and Muhammad Salim Qasmi commenced on their literary journeys with this publication.[6]
