Asalamu Alekum,

The most important thing which we need to concentrate on these days is Muslim Youth,i mean seriously look at the condition….

We need some crerative Daw’ah plans for guiding the Youth to Islam and make them close to thier Religion and to learn to respect their parents,elders and others

……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………….

** For all the authors on the site please do something about the issue about youth and Islam.

(thank you sooo much)

New technology is a bid’ah…
It is better to refrain from Facebook as there can be a lot of virtual mixing between the opposite genders.

Btw, I just made a website for my local masjid.

If Muslims just asserted there Muslim identities more on their Facebook account, they could do dawah to those people that they are shy to approach in person about Islam– because Facebook works as a “buffer” and just by small things like, writing Facebook notes that reflect on the deen or Facebook statuses, I think a lot of non-Muslims will become “aware” of us at the very least.

This is waayyyy better than laboring over big massive Facebook groups, that the Jewish Hackers shut down.

Thanks for the review, Omar.

Another Daily Show clip tackling the Twitter revolution… very funny! (Ditto above warnings about non-hijabis):

I am extremely glad to see this post! I am glad you pointed out how Muslims should use these technologies more for their da’wah. Jazak Allahu Khairan for putting this up. Good review.
And yes, you are so right about reading reviews; whenever I want to buy something – be it a new cell phone or a book, I first read reviews of it online, written by users of the product. It is such a great blessing to be able to use Internet technologies to serve Islam.
