AsalamAlayKum, An important by-product of participating in events like this one is building a category of 'Islamic Tourism'. Why travel to the Bahamas or Disneyland or Florida when you can Visit the Maldive Islands, The Malay Archipeligo or Morrocan Mountains? This sounds pretty cool for a summer work/study/Islam Vacation. ~ HiMY! ~ |
