ISLAM

The following sites have been awarded the ARIL Hot Site designation as offering among the best resources concerning Islam on the Internet.

• About Islam  About.com's "guide" to all things Muslim, Huda Dodge, has put together a comprehensive site that will provide most, if not all the information you may need about Islam.  Updated regularly. You can also sign up to receive a weekly e-newsletter about Islam. 
• About Islam and Muslims  A well organized introduction to Islam maintained by the Islamic Society at the University of Northumbria, Newcastle, UK. It is from this site that we have taken the lovely script that graces our list of Muslim resources. As you peruse these pages note especially the warning, addressed to unsuspecting Muslims, but a valid cautionary note to Christians as well, concerning unethical tactics employed by some Christian missionaries.
• Islamic Texts and Resources MetaPage (Another good place to begin one's exploration of the varied world of Islam. The MetaPage is maintained at the State University of New York at Buffalo. We especially like the important distinction, made well within these pages, between Muslim culture in general and the Muslim faith, that is, the religion of Islam, in particular. This is especially important when one considers that much of the conflict that seemingly divides peoples of different faiths is, in fact, political conflict between various nations or nationalities, rather than a conflict of faith.)
• The Koran (Search the Koran by word or phrase. This edition of the Koran is brought to you by the Online Book Initiative, a project of The World, a Boston area Internet service provider.)
• The Online Islamic Bookstore (Sharing our own view of the importance of a faith that is brought into harmony with the life of the mind, these folks offer quality books, software, CD's, tapes and other AV resources about Islam.)
• The ICB Islamic Audio Studio (The Islamic Center of Blacksburg, VA, hosts this unique collection of sound and music files. Muslims have advanced the process of reading from the Koran to a moving and highly sophisticated art form and this site offers many fine examples of that art.)
• Islamic Relief Worldwide Not just charity. A survey of this site takes one on a virtual tour of the major trouble spots of the world. This site is not to be missed by anyone interested in a view of Islam not usually covered by the secular news media. One of the outstanding features of Islam is the level of compassion and care expressed in very concrete ways towards those in need. 
• THE ISLAM PAGE (Ibrahim Shafi has put together a home page which is one of the most comprehensive sets of Muslim links on the net. And he makes use of many advanced HTML features and well as Java applets. In other words, this is HTML in the service of Allah.)
• IslamiCity A truly elegant and imaginative site bringing the various dimensions of Islam to the Net in an unusually inviting manner. Here you can listen to the mystifying sounds of Radio Al-Islam, but to do so you will need the Real Audio player).
