:salam2:
I hope everything is in the best state of Eeman and health.
Well who dont know me and who know, ive been on this small island called Bonaire [Part of Netherland Antilles] for almost about a year now [ 1 month short].
Been studying in medical school and Alhumdulilah everything seems to be going well.
The thing is that there is a beautiful masjid here [ http://www.bonaireislamiccenter.com/ ], Alhumdulilah ive had the pleasure to live in the masjid, there is no imam and the sad thing is rarely anyone comes to the masjid, we have been trying to do so much dawah the best we can especially that we dont speak spanish or dutch which is widely spoken here but it hasn't been very helpful.
There are many muslims here, but they were very very away from deen, alot of them have married into hindu's or other families and have no idea about the deen. I know in their heart they want to know but they just had no one ever tell them; alot of them dont even know the basics. And cuz these ppl great grandfathers were brought as slaves to these carribean countries mostly from india who over time having no religious leader/imam lost touch with deen married into hindus. And not sure how many people here use internet for islam Allahu Alam
ANywayz that aside, next semester is my last month and i really want to give some dawah in their local language thru books.
I am student and in very very tight financial budget :$ unfortunately i have tried these two websites, got some books for free but they went really fast
http://islamunveiled.com/eng/modules.php?name=free_books
http://www.islamic-message.net/cims/default.aspx
I really need some more books to atleast give these ppl a copy of Quran and some other books, especially on how to pray and basic so they know about the deen and they can teach their kids who know nothing either.
So I need my community help again, I want to collect money if everyone is ok with that and buy some books in bulk from http://www.islamicbookstore.com/, or if you can help other way, telling me other way to get free dawah material or if you have any material i could use, Anything is appreciative, but my goal is to collect $500 if everyone agrees and pitch in whatever they can, i'll want to buy:
Quran translation: in Spanish, Dutch
Take material from TTI and make Prayer and Wudu guides
Buy small books for kids to teach them some basics
and InshAllah make the best with the money
So please give me your feedback what does everyone think
JazakAllah khair
