Abstract :
By examining the stages of the Holy Prophet’s call (Daʿwah) in the works of historians from the past to the present, we can see that most of them explicitly or implicitly believe in three stages: "Secret Call", "Calling the Relatives" and "Public Call". A few people have taken a wider range of stages with more precision and looking at the period after the migration to Madinah; but there has been no regular division of call stages on a unit basis. In this article, based on the development of the geography of the Prophet’s (pbuh) call and the scope of the audience, the stages of call are divided into six successive and interconnected stages: "private call", " calling the relative", "public call", "regional call", "transregional call" and "global call"; and we have put all the initial stages as a prelude to reaching the final stage of daʿwah, which is based on the global mission of the Holy Prophet (pbuh) and the spread of Islam.
