Across the world, billions of people are being influenced by what they watch, listen to and read in the media. Some of the media propaganda seen today about Islam, causes for misconceptions and sterotypical views. This has lead to much misunderstandings and backlash, causing friction amongst fellow human beings. This is why we have introduced this project, delivering the true message of Islam through authentic resources.
The Sincere Message:
(1) The name of our religion is Islam. Islam is the religion for the whole of mankind. There is only one Lord and his name is Allah. He has no partners and he has no family.
(2) Allah sent many prophets to mankind to preach Islam and help people practice it. They also prayed to Allah.
(3) All the prophets were human. The first prophet was the prophet Adam (peace and blessings be upon him). Some well known prophets are Prophet Abraham, Prophet Noah, Prophet Ishmael, Prophet Isaac, Prophet Moses, Prophet Jesus - the son of Mary, and Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon them all). The prophet Muhammad (born 571 - died 632 A.D.) was the last of the prophets, there will be no prophets after him.
(4) Allah sent messages to his prophets through his Angels. These messages were compiled into holy books. The most famous of these books are the Psalms, the Torah, the Bible and the Qur'aan. The Qur'aan was the last book to be revealed and the Qur'aan was revealed to the prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him).
(5) Man is commanded to do good and prohibited from doing evil. Humans willfully choose to do good or evil and Allah knows what they will choose. After the world ceases to exist Man will be judged for his actions. This will be on the day of judgment in the life after death.

A True Story of how a Punk Accepted Islam
Let's start at the beginning (always a good place, Al-hamdu li-Llaah). Life began for me in a place called Chatham in Kent in England way, way back in 1383H/1963CE. I am a girl, an only child. My parents and their parents and their parents, etc., were all English along with myself so as you can see I am not from an Islamic background. Anyway, when I was only a little tot of barely 4 years my parents packed up and whooshed us all across the Atlantic to North America. My parents loved it over there but I grew up to hate it. I never got on there no matter how hard I tried. With my limited knowledge I felt English at heart (may Allah protect me from feelings of nationalism and other such nonsense) and my mission in life was to return to the UK. I had a long wait in front of me. All my life, in spite of the usual selfish non-Islaamic lifestyle I led, my love towards my Creator was always in the background, mashaa'Allaah. But, due to my pride and insecurity, I clung to the antics of my generation. This was the age of punk rock. I became drawn into this scene when I was 14. Due to my difficult upbringing from a household full of violence and perversion I entered into this rage with gusto - astaghfiru-Llaah (may Allaah forgive me)!! Those whom I called my friends back then were merely inmates within a prison we had made for ourselves. More...

Brush aside the false media representation of Islam and read the words of Allah in a new English translation of the meanings of the Qur'aan by one of the most eminent scholars of our time, Mufti Muhammad Taqi 'Uthmani. This translation includes the original Arabic text, English translation and explanatory notes.
Mufti Muhammad Taqi 'Uthmani had previously supervised the English translation of Ma'ariful Qur'an. But this translation and brief explanatory notes have been entirely rewritten. None of the popular English translations of the Qur'aan were done by a scholar in traditional Islamic sciences. Mufti Muhammad Taqi Uthmani, a renowned Islamic scholar who has been involved in studying and teaching Islamic sciences for more than half a century, has now filled this void. A brief introduction of each surah has been added wherever necessary. The respected author has also added explanatory notes to facilitate understanding of the text for the common reader.
The text is in a 3 colour format on quality paper. Produced in a beautiful binding, and presented in a plastic case. More...
