Dawa wa Irshad (Arabic: دعوة و إرشاد‎‎) is a Saudi Wahhabist organization, whose name translates to "Call and Guidance".

Overview

American intelligence analysts have alleged that it is a terrorist group, yet have employed the group to act as a mediator in discussions with Sunni militias in Iraq.

Its office in Mauritania was shut down by authorities.

Two of the allegations prepared for Guantanamo captive Mustafa Ibrahim Mustafa Al Hassan's Combatant Status Review Tribunal were:

  • "The detainee is associated with the Dawa wa Irshad non-governmental organization."
  • "Dawa wa Irshad is a terrorist organization."
