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).
