Abstract: The field of dakwah from an Islamic perspective is too wide to be commanded but it could be penetrated through various appropriate approaches or instruments. What needs to be understood is that dakwah should be carried out with the aim of delivering the goodness and beauty of Islam to everybody, especially the non-Muslims. This article aims to discuss two instruments of dakwah according to the thinking of Nursi, which is civilizational dialogue and wasatiyyah. Both these instruments in the current context are immensely significant and should appropriately be used wisely for dakwah related to the dissemination of Islam. This article applied the qualitative approach by using the content analysis method to analyse the primary and secondary resources. The findings show that Islamic dakwah in the current context needs to emphasise the aspect of dialogue, which is anchored on convincing arguments and delivered in an ethical and morally sound manner. Wasatiyyah portrays the openness of Islam in accepting positive values from any party, besides being able to nurture the genuine Islamic faith and Muslim identity to counter any negative elements.
