Dear Friend,
Assalamu Alaikum
Last week, Kansas became the sixth state to pass an anti-Sharia bill since 2010.
And the campaign against Islam is clearly picking up steam as we head toward the presidential elections later this year. Similar proposals are being considered in 20 states.
Banning Sharia will directly impact Muslim marriages, divorces, Islamic financing, and mediation. Banning Sharia is like banning Jewish Halakha practiced by many Jews in America.
One of the major problems in this campaign is that Muslim perspectives are simply not available. Just Google it and see for yourself what type of images and articles you find. Sound Vision, the leading developer of content for Muslims, is set to remedy that with our Sharia101 project.
Please donate now to support this project.
Muslims live Sharia everyday when we pray, fast, earn honestly, offer charity, eat Halal, take care of our families and Masjids, as well as serve our communities. However, the term "Sharia" is fast becoming a term of hate at the hands of Islamophobes to attack Islam. This has dangerous, far-reaching consequences for American Muslims which have already begun.
While the U.S. Supreme Court recognized Prophet Muhammad, peace and blessings be upon him, among the eighteen greatest lawgivers of the world in 1935, a majority of Americans are confused about Sharia and do not understand what it is.
Muslims cannot afford to be silent about the extreme misinformation that is being fed to our non-Muslim neighbors and leaders about our way of life. Our very future as Muslims on this continent depends on us standing up today to ensure that Islam remains a vibrant part of America and we are granted freedom of religion as guaranteed by the US constitution.
This is where the Sharia 101 project comes in.
Sound Vision has launched this major campaign to develop and provide Muslim perspectives on Sharia. The aim is to establish a major web portal, Sharia101.org, that will become a repository of accurate, accessible, concise, as well as in-depth information about Sharia.
Insha Allah, the site will feature not only articles, but short videos, and images as well. The primary audiences are not just non-Muslims, many of whom are being fed hatred and propaganda against Islamic practices, but also, young American Muslims, confused and influenced by the plethora of negative material easily available about Sharia.
Sharia101.org will be a critical tool to foster a better understanding of Sharia, and Islam and Muslims in general. This project is also crucial to safeguard the independence of all religions from the interference of the state.
Everyone else is talking about Sharia. It's time we stand up and speak for ourselves.
Salam,
Abdul Malik Mujahid
P.S. We have been working on this project for several months. Some work is
already done. With your support we intend to finish the first phase this summer insha Allah. Funds are needed to pay the scholars and professors working on it. They are also needed to print our six brochures, which are being used by Muslims all around the country where anti-Sharia debates are taking place.
This came to my e-mail and I thought to share here whoever does not receive this message.
