| [slm] An Epoch-making Event Theme: Make This World A Better Place 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 Allahs Deen. There will be an epoch-making event being held at the Anaheim Convention Center, Anaheim, California, on Sunday, Oct. 12, 2003, under the theme, Make this World a Better Place. 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 and inspiring 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), the launching of Internet Islamic School (IIS) for children 8 to 18 years old, is beneficial for Muslims in this land and all over the world, Insha Allah. The promotion of the Islamic education among the Muslims in North America is the second objective of this program, Insha Allah. The program will start with the Quranic recitation by the worlds best Qari, Syed Sadaqat Ali, followed by brief speeches by the invited speakers. This will be followed by a presentation on the Internet Islamic University and School. The evening will wind down with acknowledgments and an awards ceremony, and Islamic entertainment in the form of Anaasheed, Hamd, and stand up comedy by famous performers. For update information and tickets, visit the web site: www.STUDYISLAM.com Today, IIU has established a niche for itself, and 20 leading Muslim American and overseas scholars and leaders have confirmed their participation.
