Baseline Measurement of Da'wa Project

Problem(s) to address

After several discussions, we have been collected some data. Based on the data, we decide to choose missed the fajr prayer because of oversleeping to be the problem that should be addressed by our group. Based on our observation, it has been a big problem among some students especially in the weekend. The behavior needs to be dealt with some interventions. In this problem, we expect to be able to change the behavior to take seriously the punctuality in performing fajr prayer.  

Primary targets of the intervention

Our intervention will be aimed at our roommates. We have 6 individuals as our primary targets. They will be our target group. Their identity will be anonymous and confidential. Their behavior of overslept until missed fajr prayer will be maintained if nothing has been done to change it. Therefore, we will approach them with our da’wa intervention. In addition, sleep late at night is a main reason of the behavior’s problem.

Action plan/ Procedure

• Our main goal is to ensure they will wake up on time to perform fajr prayer.
• Naturalistic observation to obtain information and recognize the main reason of the problem.
• Each one of us will be in charge of making the behavior change.
• Each one of us selects a target (roommate). 
• Obtain their consent. They will be informed about our project and our intention. Their identity will be confidential. They will be no discussion among our group about their identity. Only the person in charge of them knows.
• The behavior will be observed continuously and the data will be recorded.

Da'wa Intervention

1. Face to face talk
2. Give advises
