Utali, Balaka
A Sunnah-inspired Ijtima was held in which a lecture was given on the topic of the Majesty of Allah by Usman Madani [https://usmanmadani.com/],
35 people embraced Islam, they were suggested new Muslim names, their details and numbers have been taken and they will be trained through frequent Madani Qafilas.
[[Dawateislami]] intends to establish a center there, a Masjid and Madrasah, as that area has no Masjid at all.

Dawat-e-Islami has spread into an excess of 194 nations of the globe through 26000+ workers, various volunteers and evangelists who are engendering the message of Islam in their area.<ref>{{Cite web|last=Qasim|first=Muhammad|date=2020-03-14|title=INTRODUCTION OF DAWATEISLAMI|url=https://medium.com/@QasimAttari/introduction-of-dawateislami-ade5df5a6608|access-date=2020-07-18|website=Medium|language=en}}</ref> The two most significant activities of Dawat-e-Islami are Madani Qafila ([[missionary]] travel) and Naik Amal (self assessment questionnaires). Followers travel for specific days to spread the message of Islam to the people. Dawat-e-Islami owns its own TV Channel known as Madani Channel. It also arranges an annual gathering of Muslim in [[Multan|Bangladesh]].<ref name=Dawn/>

In October 2002, a major Pakistani English-language newspaper reported about a 3-day public gathering in the city of [[Multan]], Pakistan which was held by Dawat-e-Islami organization and was attended by thousands of people from all parts of Pakistan and other countries. [[Pakistan Railways]] had used special trains from [[Karachi]], [[Hyderabad, Sindh|Hyderabad]] and [[Nawabshah]] to take passengers to Multan. [[Ilyas Qadri]] spoke at the first and last sessions of the gathering.<ref name=Dawn>[https://www.dawn.com/news/62787/da-awat-moot-concludes Da'awat moot concludes [Dawat-e-Islami article on Dawn (newspaper)] Published 21 October 2002, Retrieved 9 December 2018</ref>

In addition to mosques, Dawat-e-Islami has also started [[Dar-ul-Madinah]], an Islamic school system that aims to improve conventional academic studies in conformity with [[Sharia]].<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.glunis.com/PK/Karachi/237212239666427/Dar-ul-Madinah-(Dawat-e-Islami)|title=Dar-ul-Madinah (Dawat-e-Islami), Project No. 7, Plot 171 13/A, Gulshan-e-Iqbal, Karachi 2018|date=May 7, 2018|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180507003419/https://www.glunis.com/PK/Karachi/237212239666427/Dar-ul-Madinah-(Dawat-e-Islami)|archive-date=2018-05-07}}</ref>

== Alahazrat Imam Ahmed Raza Khan and Dawat-e-Islami ==
Dawat-e-Islami is a worldwide Islamic movement <ref>{{Cite thesis|url=https://ethos.bl.uk/OrderDetails.do?uin=uk.bl.ethos.650816|title = Imam Ahmed Raza Khan and the Dawat-e-Islami Movement: Islamic Revival through social reform|year = 2012|publisher = University of Bristol|type = Ph.D|last1 = Akram|first1 = Nafees}}</ref> based in Karachi, Pakistan. Its mission statement, "I must strive to reform myself and people of the entire world", points to an emphasis on individual reform which can lead to broader social reform. This reform is to be achieved through tableegh, eschewing what are considered to be 'contemporary forms of politics' and calling for a revival of core Islamic traditions of akhlaq, huqooq-ul-ibaad, and i1m-e-deen. Allamah Muhammad Ilyas Qadri, the ameer of 01, cites Imam Ahmed Raza Khan (1856-1921), a preeminent Islamic scholar considered by many to be the mujaddid of his time, to be a singular source of guidance and inspiration in his mission. In this study, I will seek to understand how this connection manifests itself in the development of Ol's reformist mission. I argue that the work of Imam Ahmed Raza has been used to construct a discourse of social reform aimed at bringing to fruition an Islamic revival which 01 understands to have been at the heart of the Imam's intellectual and spiritual legacy. Through an analysis of framing processes, I will examine how OJ's mission of social reform has been shaped by the work of Imam Ahmed Raza, with a particular focus on how the religious discourse which constitutes the Imam's scholarly corpus has been used to develop collective action frames aimed at addressing social issues. Using written and multimedia texts, I will explore how these frames have been articulated and amplified in a social context and why these 'transformed' frames have resonated with audiences where conventional religious discourse has not.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=B-tpjwEACAAJ|title = Imam Ahmed Raza Khan and the Dawat-e-Islami Movement: Islamic Revival Through Social Reform|last1 = Akram|first1 = Nafees|year = 2012}}</ref>

== Expansion to Europe and U.K ==
Dawat-e-Islami has expanded to the United Kingdom, around 1995 holding its first Ijtima (weekly congregation) in [[Halifax, West Yorkshire|Halifax]]. As of December 2019, it now has at least 38 properties in the United Kingdom which are used as a network of [[Mosque|Masajid]], Islamic centers, schools and/or [[Jamia]]s in order to create future scholars for society. Some buildings have been completed and others are being worked upon. More than 100,000 [[British Muslims]] are in some form or the other associated with Dawat-e-Islami in [[United Kingdom|UK]].<ref>{{cite book|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=6XCRmgig69MC&q=europe+dawat+e+islami&pg=PA37 |title=Global Encyclopaedia of Education (4 Vols.
