Letter from Our Director Mr. Faruq Hunter
The Masjids.org Road Show is a 28 day Road trip stretching the length of over 3000 miles of the eastern United States to promote the concept of utilizing technology to extend the services of Muslim organizations and businesses via the proprietary Masjids.org web application. The Masjids.org Ramadhan Road Show will be the catalyst for the feeding of over 50,000 Muslims at the iftars of 28 Masajid through the help of Salwa Foods and Brother Sooja Muhammmad who has provided Masjids.org with his unique 25 foot cooking grill. This Masjids.org Ramadhan Road Show is the first event of its kind, in attempting to reach out to the over 3.5 Million American Muslims in the eastern US to promote the remembrance of Allah and the necessity for Muslims to be closer to their Masjid.
In the US , the Masajid are the center of gathering for American Muslims. As a very diverse group of people, American Muslims look to the Masjid to provide a neutral ground for interaction, activity and religious direction. Masjids.org's proprietary application extends the services of the Masjid through a set of interactive and individually managed tools that are available to the populace via the internet. Currently, in Atlanta , GA , Masjids.org is the application of choice for Muslim businesses and organizations who want to extend their services to Muslims via the Internet.
Masjids.org provides a unique offering to the Muslim community through the proper integration of technology into the focal point of the American Muslim community, the Masjid. Alongside a grass root understanding of how to market and relate with the American Muslim Demographic Masjids.org has established itself as a delivery mechanism for introducing various products to the American Muslim populace. Masjids.org is the most effective enabler of technology in the American Muslim Community today.
The strategy behind the timing of the Road Show of October 16, 2004 to November 14, 2004, the holy month of Ramadan, is to meet the Muslim populace during the time that over 50% of the patronage of American Muslims is centered on one area, the Masjid. In addition, the month of Ramadan generates a higher and concentrated level of internet traffic from American Muslims than seen any other time throughout the year, as Muslims seek to receive guidance through listening to the recitation of the Holy Quran, reading articles on Ramadan, and receiving spiritual guidance thorough the many lectures and events that are a consistent on-line product of the holy month. The On-line portion of the Masjids.org Road Show will provide these services free of charge to the Muslim community in a bigger and better way than can be seen at any other site or location that provides similar services during the month of Ramadan.
Masjids.org will record the bayan given by the Imam at your Masjid on the night of the Iftar, and we will record the juz of Quran at the Tarrawiyyah prayer, so that all Muslims will be able www.masjids.org . The motivator behind our service and this event is because we strongly believe that the Masjid is the greatest Islamic resource available to American Muslims. Insha-allah, Allah will help us to expand this valuable resource throughout the country and bring the members of our community closer to the Masjid through this event.
