I would have to approach this project like I did many of my previous endeavors in the work of Da’wah (invitation to Allah) get other people to participate and reflect with me even though at the end I would be the one putting the pieces of the puzzle together.

When we make the efforts in all humility to seek a comprehensive understanding based on a shared and common knowledge and experience, we become able to widen our capacities. That is why consultation of knowledgeable and experienced other individuals is so fundamental in Islam. That is what Shura is.

One handicap or advantage is I did not have what is considered today a real academic training in Islamic studies. I studied with some scholars in Madina for several years, different books and often had discussions with my first teacher about many issues facing the Muslims and Islam in the time we live in, and how to work to improve our condition.

The advantage is that it would be easier for me to look at the project of the book from a different angle without the diagram and forms taught in formal establishments of Islamic knowledge.

I do have something to help me : many years of experience in the field and the chance to have worked and lived with brothers of different countries languages cultural backgrounds all working together in the path of Da’wah (invitation to Allah).

For that Allah really blessed me to have worked in many different Da’wah (invitation to Allah) Centers under the supervision of scholars, plane pilots, doctors, engineers ,lawyers ,soldiers ,laymen all brothers driven by the same desire to serve the Deen of Islam ( religion of Islam).

During almost 24 years I have worked at different levels and positions with all these brothers ,employees or volunteers. Either worked as a teacher, a coordinator, a technician, a propagator a translator a designer an administrator all in the service of Da’wah (invitation to Allah) to Allah.

Also as a revert I benefited of a different angle of approach to Da’wah (invitation to Allah) and later on, once my children had became teenagers I also had the experience of raising good Muslim children in a Muslim environment .

Da’wah (invitation to Allah) for me is more of a life story than the normal progression from studying Sharia (Islamic legislation) law to active adult professional life or volunteering in Da’wah.

Like most of the reverts to Islam my motivation for working in Da’wah (invitation to Allah) is first and foremost driven by the need to share with others knowledge about the most precious gift in this life.

“ Faith in Allah the One The Unique The Creator The Complete The Absolute The Merciful The Giver of Life The Sustainer. “

Clearly, this subject had to come up , but before we get into the details of it lets look at some numbers.

Today the technology available at our disposition and the means of communication have become universal and has broken the boundaries of countries and cultures. A lot more efforts needs to be done to embrace and explore how to inform the world population about the correct meaning of Islam.

The world population today is about a staggering 7.600 billions !!!!!

And lets look at other numbers . How many of us are connected to the internet with what kind of devices and the different social platforms where people communicate.

It is easy here to compute these numbers to see that almost in every household one person is connected to the internet and to some social sharing platform.

These numbers are almost 2 years old which means the number of people connected is even higher.

From all the social media platform available one stands out above the rest it is Facebook.

So let’s look at how we can use Facebook to propagate awareness of what Islam really is.

And let’s look at how we can use Facebook to correct and answer back at all the Islamophobic propaganda that has been orchestrated by mostly the western medias.

Quite simply it is enough to use the advertisement services of Facebook and other social platforms to get fast, targeted exposure.

All we need is short advertisement like sentences on advertisement like graphic cards.

These are some examples.

In order to utilize the ads service of Facebook it is necessary to open an account and to also open a page.

The benefits of paying for ads to reach the Facebook users is that they will visit your pages.

The idea is to utilize the pages has a way to inform and also to post there a great number of links well defined and selected to cover most of the issues that non-Muslims ask about Islam.

Therefore an important effort needs to be done to research select the different articles, videos, audios that will be used to complete our efforts to raise the awareness of Muslims and non-Muslims.

Researching and selecting special events and preparing information about Islam related to that event.

Examples:

Events that assemble people from all places on an explicit subject in a specific place.

“Women’s day at UNESCO” , “World sport events”, “Save the planet events” , “health related events”

Because you will always have influential people gravitating these events.

Within the parameters of Facebook you can choose specific dates and locations where you want your ads to be seen.

So if there is an event related to women’s rights we can prepare ads built from Quranic texts or Hadith and prepare on our pages posts and links to articles and videos on our own websites or on selected websites.

This is one example of many campaigns we had with one of our accounts.

Here are some other examples:

Also, an opportunity will be created to enter in direct dialogue with your visitors.
