This study is set out to scrutinize formal da’wah activities in the northern state of Kedah, focusing on its challenges and solutions. These activates are formally carried out by government organization being supported by none-government organization specifically responsible for this mission with informal activities go on alongside. This is a case study and it used interviews, observations and document analysis in its data collection, which were descriptively analysed. It was found out that both government and non-government organizations cooperated in conveying the message as well catering for muallaf needs after their conversion to Islam through guidance classes, financial assistance and training.
