| 103-43 Lefferts Blvd., Richmond Hill, NY 11419 Tel. 718-848-8952 E-mail: info@studyislam.com www.STUDYISLAM.com An Epoch-making and Unforgettable Event Today, the Muslims of North America are facing some great challenges including the task of providing Islamic education to future generations and bringing about unity among the Muslims. After the Sept. 11, 2001 tragedy and ensuing Islamophobia that congests the airwaves and media, the North American Muslim community has become demoralized and indeed inactive. It is most important to re-motivate and re-mobilized them for serving Allah?s Deen. There will be an epoch-making event being held at the Madison Square Garden in New York City on April 13, 2003, under the theme, ?Let?s Make this World a Better Place to Live?. This event will bring the national Muslim leadership and scholars at one platform, and provide an avenue for building the confidence in the Muslim community and motivating them as well. Despite the impressive growth in numbers and the continued growth in infrastructures like Masajid and Islamic schools, about 88% of Muslim children in North America have no access to any formal Islamic education, even for an hour per week. Even if the current pace of establishment of full time Islamic schools is continued, it will take decades to fulfill the needs of basic and higher learning of Islam. Therefore, there is a great danger of losing our most valuable assets, the children, in the American melting pot. Alhamdulillah, after attaining success with Internet Islamic University (IIU) is launching the Internet Islamic School (IIS) for children 8 to 18 years old. This is an historic event and the inaugural of IIS, Insha Allah. The program, whose focus is the promotion of Islamic education and building the unity among Muslims (ummah), will start with Qur?anic recitation by Muhammad Jibril, followed by speeches by the invited speakers. There will be Islamic entertainment in the form of Nasheed, Na?at, etc. This will be followed by a presentation on the Internet Islamic University and the inauguration of the Internet Islamic School. The evening will wing down with acknowledgments and an awards ceremony, and Islamic entertainment in the form of Nasheed and Na?at.
