Blessings and greetings has been delivered to the Prophet Muhammad who regularly teaches Muslims to be active and loving the mosque.

The research team is also very grateful to Prof. dr. Herman L. Beck from Tilburg University who has assisted us through guidance and discussions during the process of data collection in the Netherlands and also during the process of research report writing. In addition, this research could finish because of the participation of the Indonesian communities and the mosques‟ organizer in the Netherlands. The purpose of this study was designed to enhance the literature of da‟wah development in Europe. It could give a positive impact on the da‟wah movement anywhere, especially in Indonesia. Suggestions and recommendations are expected for improving future researches. The content of this research hopefully sheds light all da‟wah activities in Indonesia.

How is the qualification of da‟i that is aligned to da‟wah in the Netherlands context? In relation to the questions, the paper then selected purposely some mosques and Islamic communities for data collection. The research result indicated that da‟wah messages which most often delivered to the Muslim community in the Netherlands are related to Aqidah and Shari'ah. In between these topics, sha'riah matter has been da‟wah messages which are often used in preaching contents. Aqidah topic has been usually delivered in certain moments and in the scheme of a personal consultation. Meanwhile, the topic of shari‟ah particularly about Islamic Jurisprudence (Fiqh) has been very dominating in all mosques and Islamic community meetings. On the other hand, the topic of Akhlak (Islamic Ethic) was also discussed, but designed to reinforce Fiqh topic only. Such topic as Islamic ethic which is applicable and adapted to the context of the Netherlands is rarely delivered.
