Muslim Women Da’awah Organizations in Northern Nigeria have been seen educating and mobilizing the Muslim Ummah towards the true mission of the religion as a form of Ibadah. The propagation of Islam and community development is inseparable in the message of Islam. Da’awah as the first method used by all the Prophets and Messengers of Allah (SWT) to deliver the task of salvaging the Ummah from wrong direction to the path of peace and success. These giant efforts have continued to yield tremendous transformation into the number of Maguzawa people in Northern Nigeria. The paper is targeted on some selected Muslim Women Da’awah Organizations in Northern Nigeria who have excelled because of their literary contributions in all ramifications towards Da’awah. Their superficies, devotions and wellness have helped in sustaining their Da’awah activities over time which has led to their prominence among other Organizations. The work aims at studying the Da’awah methodology of the Muslim Women Da’awah Organizations on the Maguzawa people in Northern Nigeria. It employs descriptive research design and relies on both primary and secondary sources in gathering data. The work found out that some people in some parts of 
Northern Nigeria are still Maguzawa who are into the worship of pagan shrines which is worrisome. An illustrative presentation of their Da’awah activities provides an in-depth understanding that resourcefulness is the core of Da’awah in all aspects which the Women Da’awah Organizations are into. The paper finally identifies some essentials needs of Da’awah and recommends them for effectiveness in the propagation and consolidation of the Islamic faith among Muslims and non-Muslims in this contemporary time.
