In the name of Allah! All praise is due to Allah! May peace and blessings be upon the Messenger of Allah! To proceed:
We give thanks to Allah, the Almighty, for facilitating and rendering readily available the means of Da`wah as well as the technical and software applications to test us and see if we will use them for something good or bad.
One of the best things for which we may use such technology and software is the call to Allah.
Imagine, dear brother, that if Allah guides through you people to convert from darkness to light and misguidance to guidance, how much will you rejoice at that and how great will your reward be with Allah?
Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) said: “By Allah, if Allah guides even one person through you, that is better for you than possessing the most valuable of the camels.” (Al-Bukhari)
For the time being, it goes without saying that anti-Islamic campaigns have increased and ignorance about the religious sciences has become widespread among many Muslims in the Western countries.
Therefore, a script carrying the following name: “Islam beyond Borders” has been programed.
This script contains more than 2500 articles and videos all in English as well as 35 radio stations for the translation of the meanings of the Qur’an.
The following is the script data and article breakdown:
- Articles dealing with the existence of Allah, the Almighty, as the Single, Sole Creator and the refutation of Darwinism and articles that address atheists. The articles are classified into several sections and taken from Truth Seeker, a website dedicated to atheists.
- Articles dealing with and introducing Islam, the Qur’an, messengers, prophets and the Islamic approach to family and society as well as the positive aspects of Islam and correcting misconceptions about Islam. Those articles are taken from The Faith, a website dedicated to general non-Muslims.
- Special articles for the new Muslims who recently converted to Islam dealing with the basics of Islam, Muslim manners, acts of worship, the Qur’an, and the Sunnah. Those articles are taken from New Muslims, a website dedicated to new Muslims, containing more than 12 languages. In this script, we use English only.
- Articles and videos about prayer and teaching prayer as well as its Sunnah and obligatory acts along with the ritual ablution and a comprehensive guide to prayer in Islam. Those articles are taken from Prayer In Islam, a website dedicated to Muslims.
- Videos about the Qur’an including visual translation of the meanings of the Qur’an in many languages as well as videos about the Qur’an. Those articles are taken from Learn the Quran, a website dedicated to Muslims.
