Da'wah & Media
One of the Foundation's most valued
activities is its da`wah program which seeks to disseminate Islamic
information to individuals, schools, universities, libraries, prisons,
Radio, TV, and religious organizations throughout the region. This
involvement has already included, but is not limited to, hosting
families and students from churches and synagogues. The Foundation seeks
to provide a venue for discussion of current topics of interest
regarding Islam and community relations.
