| [slm] Our masjid has a cool newsletter-it's called the Heart beat 8) Things included and you might want to think about: a)Announcements/events b)Gem of the week: Could be a hadith/ayah/quote etc c)Salaat time changes/plus Jumuah information d)Q and A: each week they select one question (which is emailed before hand and the Imam answers it..) this is a pretty neat feature, especially since they try to pick popular ones. e)A short Khatira/Reminder: This is normally prepared by the Imam, but if yours is too busy, you can do it too:) it's just a paragraph or two dealing with naseeha etc. Like this week the topic was "Masjid Etiquette". it had nice pointers etc. f) There is a constant reminder in all of them to donate, give, volunteer etc. and the pertinent information regarding that. The cool thing about this newsletter its one two sided piece of paper :) so you know it's not a waste of too much paper, and it's not too much for people to read... I hope this helps :-* I would have a poet's corner...but thassjusme 8) May Allah reward you for your efforts and put mad Barakah in it:) (Amin) Here's a link if you wanna check out the layout etc: http://www.adamscenter.org/newsletter/HeartbeatV1_I20.pdf Sis, Maliha :-) [wlm] |

| As-salaamu 'alaykum wa rahmatullah, Masha'Allah, Mystic, I like the set-up. There's a local masjid that just started a newsletter, and it's somewhat like that, but longer. There's: -Imam's khatira (usually on some topic that occurs in that time period, historically) -Male Sahabah Story -Female Sahabah Story -Another khatirah focusing on current events/ummah issues. -Salah times, masjid events, etc. Has up to 6 pages, but not sure why, it could be shorter...anyhow, there's also the [url=http://www.muslimlinkpaper.com/]Muslim Link[/url] published by Dar-us-Salaam, which is like an actual newspaper type set-up. Has a lot more on events, news, health, seerah articles, fatawah, etc. Starting out with 1-2 pages is definitely a worthwhile effort. Good way of keeping the community connected to the masjid, insha'Allah. |

| [slm] Those newsletters are really cool mashallah 8) The newsletter we have is made up of 4 pages, it includes - a hadith quote or Quran Ayyah - any anouncements to be made - 2 or 3 different articles e.g patience, friends, Du'aa etc and then the last page is called the childrens corner where theres a prophets story and a puzzle in the middle, usually a wordsearch or a anagram. I have a copy of one of them on the comp but i'm not sure how to put it up. Its like an A3 paper, folded in half. So theres a front page, a inside and the back. May Allah make it easy for you and grant you a huge reward for your efforts. [wlm] |

| [slm] Sister, you might want to look at having :- * Classifieds Section (this could also help finance the newsletter too if you charge a small fee for the placing an ad) *childrens section (Hadith coloring-in, Nasheed transcripts) *short quick recipes for the busy moms *How to change a lightbulb/tyre/nappies section for the harrassed dads ;D *in the "Announcement" section as suggested by one of the sisters, maybe MARRIAGES could be annouced...so no one has an excuse to have a secret marriage :-) [slm] |
