Why Play?
MRDF have two leading online projects of their kind. The first being islam21c.com and the second is prophetictimeline.com. Although both are very different in their essence and purpose you will find that the content hosted within each will not be found elsewhere on the Web. We have learnt that Muslims need more encouragement to read and benefit from the litreture available to us. And so we created an online Treasure Hunt in which we use fun riddles to encourage you to read and benefit from the material on our sites.
