The work of Da'wah enlists both genders, though the reality reveals that both of them are not at par in most cases, especially when it comes to open-Da'wah engagements. Males are more prominent than their female counterparts. This paper therefore examines Ad-Da'watu’s-Salafiyyah in Ilorin vis-a-vis the involvement of women in making Salafiyyah a household name in the city. The paper adopted historical method in achieving its set objectives. It is revealed, in the paper, that Salafism is increasingly growing in the city by the day, though with some deficiencies, especially in relation to availability of female Du'āt. Despite the activeness and sizeable numbers of women inclination to the call, much has not been done to religiously cater for their interest as regards gender issues and sensitivity in Islam. There are few female Du'āt which is not proportionate to their numbers, hence males are made to anchor programmes that are meant for females. Misinterpretation of feminine provisions in the Sharīcah, matrimonial issues and inadequate knowledge of Islam are some of the identified factors for the paucity of female Salafiyyah preachers. The paper, therefore, concluded that for the Da'wah to be worthwhile, there is the need to train more women for Da'wah activities and for gender consciousness.enDa'wahPropagationSalafismMisinterpretationFemaleArticle
