The Islamic Da’wah Foundation Malaysia (YADIM) was founded in the year 1974 to organise and coordinate with da’wah bodies and to help these bodies to operate in a way of support the advancement of the Ummah, and enhance the understanding of Islam so that the Islamic community will play an active role towards development and progress.

Since its establishment, YADIM has experienced changes and growth in its principles and approach, in accordance with the changing times. Nevertheless the aims and objectives of YADIM are still preserved. YADIM will continue to be involved in da’wah activities according to its capacity. With the world entering into the 21 century, it is time that YADIM re-examined its strategy and methods of approach. YADIM needs to implement a new mission suited to the current demands and present challenges, especially those challenges resulting from the explosion of information and the globalisation process.
