Background to our Ideology
This site aims to act as a merger of Western and Classical Islamic ideas, as well as theological doctrine. It imparts the methodology in dealing with the social needs of Muslims (as well as wider community) by way of forming the basis of an approach to primarily deal with the social, political, theological, and economical welfare of Muslims.
Planning Your Article
Step 1: Assess and ensure the purpose of your article contributes to the welfare and social needs of the Muslim Community, primarily in the West.
Step 2: Your article should primarily focus on ideas, problems, issues that are:
- Spiritual
- Theological
- Philosophical
- Social
- Political
- Legal
- Economical
Structuring your article conceptually
Your article may take the form of any combination of points within A and B, with C being the natural outcome. We encourage the use of supporting references (Islamic & secular), case studies, news reports, research etc. to strengthen your points, ideas, arguments. Using the above framework facilitates avoiding the generic rhetoric found in most articles within todays muslim discourses.
