An
Epoch-Making Event
Theme: Make
This World A Better Place
Today,
the Muslims of North America are facing some great challenges
including the task of providing Islamic education to future
generations and bringing about unity among the Muslims. Despite
the impressive growth in numbers and the continued growth
in infrastructures like Masajid and Islamic schools, about
88% of Muslim children in North America have no access to
any formal Islamic education, even for an hour per week. Even
if the current pace of establishment of full time Islamic
schools is continued, it will take decades to fulfill the
needs of basic and higher learning of Islam. Therefore, there
is a great danger of losing our most valuable assets, the
children, in the American melting pot. Alhamdulillah, after
attaining success with Internet Islamic University (IIU),
the IIU management is launching Internet Islamic School (IIS)
for children 8 to 18 years old. This is an historic event and being held at Metro Toronto Convention Center,
Toronto, Canada, on Sunday, October 3, 2004, under the theme, Make this World
a Better Place to promote the Islamic education.
The event has another significance too. After the Sept. 11, 2001 tragedy and
ensuing Islamophobia that congests the airwaves and media,
the North American Muslim community has become demoralized
and indeed inactive. It is most important to re-motivate and
re-mobilized them for serving Allah’s Deen. The Toronto event
is indeed among the steps in this direction. This event will
bring the national, regional and local Muslim leadership and
scholars at one platform, and provide an avenue for building
the confidence in the Muslim community and motivating and
inspiring them as well.
The program includes brief speeches by the renowned speakers
and multimedia presentation on Internet Islamic University
and School. There will be an Islamic entertainment in the
form of Anasheed, Hamd and standup comedy by famous performers.
The evening will wind down with acknowledgments and an awards
ceremony.
