Assalamu alaykum,
Well I guess as admin I didnt technically join it. But, I made the website because I felt that we as Muslims have to do something to help people understand Islam. Both Muslim and non-Muslim.
A site where people are welcome and can be together as an Ummah. Sticking to the book of Allah and the Sunnah of his messenger
I was fed up with the ignorance people have about Islam.
With this site, people will have a place to go and learn properly. To see for themselves who Muslims are.
Alhamdulillah, it is a blessing from Allah that we have our brothers and sisters here from around the world.
Last month, we took shahada from several people, one of whom is an Inuit from a remote town in Canada, mashaAllah. There it is -15 and the temperatures reach as low as -40. Her family is happy and fine with this choice, alhamdulillah.
The other person was a sister who is just 14, she is from the USA. Her parents do not know that she is Muslim, she has to keep it secret.
What matters is that people learn who Allah is and who the Messenger was. That they understand the message Of Islam is a universal message from Allah, that was revealed to all the Prophets. To Worship Allah alone without associating any partners with him.
How many times do we see Muslms state this? When they had all that drama about the niqab debate in UK, did Muslims ever say what the most important belief for Muslim was? That was a good opportunity which was missed. And they keep on missing it.
If the non-Muslims were to know how simple Islam was, what the original teachings were, then things would be a lot better.
Wasalam.
