Throughout the ages, the personality of Christ (Peace Be Upon Him) has been the center of much controversy. Some have called him a false prophet and a liar while some others worship him as God or son of God who came to earth in human form. Similar controversies linger around his mother, the Virgin Mary. Islam on the other hand, considers Christ as a mighty prophet of God, from among His near ones and his mother as an embodiment of piety, chastity and righteousness. Unfortunately, this high reverence of Islam to Christ and the Virgin Mary is often ignored by the mainstream western intelligentsia and largely unknown to the common western populace. This well researched book describes the status of Jesus in divine Islamic texts and will enrich the knowledge of its readers and enlighten them about the true Islamic position on Christ Jesus – The Son of Mary.

The Dilemma of Youths Today
One thousand four hundred and thirty years have passed since our Prophet (pbuh) made the first Hijrah and established the first Islamic state. 1430 years, and today, how have we progressed in being khulafa’ on the earth– better or worse?
History has shown that our struggles have always revolved around bringing about a universally ideal society – the ideal that Islam too, seeks to materialize. Indeed, it has not been a simple mission. Many have struggled and tried only to realize that it takes a collective effort to bring about any type of change.
The Quran reminds us:
“A man receives but only that for which he strives; that his endeavours will be judged, and only then will he receive his recompense in full.” (Quran 53:39-41)
“Truly, God does not change the condition of a people until they change what is in themselves.” (Quran 13:11)
The question is; what are our roles as Muslim youths to motivate those changes? What tools do we need to help guide purway towards establishing a better and ideal society?
Indeed, today’s youth are the future leaders and should not be dismissed. The youth of today need to learn the tools to maintain the dynamic momentum in faith to ensure positive advancement in building a better society. But WHY, HOW, WHAT and WHERE should we begin?
Be sure to join us as our speakers address the issues underlying the Muslim youth and how we can assist and make use of our potentials in living our everyday life as well as making impacts on the society we are in.

…TO PURCHASE A BUILDING FOR A HIFZ AND
FULL-TIME ISLAMIC SCHOOL BY
OCTOBER 23, 2009!
Assalamu Alaikum Wa Rahmatullahi Wa Barakatuhu,
Furqaan Academy started last year with 33 students in the Western and South Western Suburbs of Chicago, generously hosted by a local Masjid – Masjid Al-Islam, Bolingbrook, IL. Alhamdulilah, this year our enrollment has more than doubled and we have outgrown the facility.
Our website details our efforts, but in a nutshell – Furqaan Academy is one of the fastest growing most Unique Islamic Schools in the country that is pioneering a curriculum that will be the future of Islamic education in the US. Our integrated curriculum aims to create and empower generations of students who are:
· Confident of their Muslim Identity in America
· Able to read, write & speak the Arabic language fluently
· Able to not only memorize the complete Quran (Hifz) but understand its meaning
· Outstanding in their secular education
- In essence, a balanced Muslim/Muslima that can pursue and excel in any field of study with a strong grounding in Islamic knowledge to become the future role models and leaders of our ummah and our society at large.
Furqaan Academy is currently under contract to purchase a property that is almost adjacent to Masjid Al-Islam in Bolingbrook, IL. To purchase this three story office building and have it ready for classes, a sum of $1.5 million is urgently needed. We humbly request your Sadaqa and Zakat during this month of Ramadhan. A school is one of the best forms of Sadaqa-e-Jariya. May Allah bless you and your families in this blessed month for your support.
Jazakum Allah khairan.

Dear Brother/Sister in Islam,
As-Salaam-Alaikum-wa-Rahmatullahi-wa-Barakatuh,
By the grace of Allah, Al-Furqaan Foundation has made tremendous strides since last Ramadhan. As our website details, we have printed about 425,000 copies to-date, of which over 200,000 copies have been delivered DOOR-TO-DOOR. Alhamdullillah about 30 hotels and many hospital chapels carry our translations. Additionally, our translation is one of the most widely used books for Dawah across the country in Masajid, MSAs, prisons, etc. As the testimonials in our website highlight, our door-to-door distribution has created an incredible buzz in many communities across the country. Our dawah websites bookofsigns.org and its Spanish equivalent librodesignos.org offer tremendous content for non-Muslims. Our Furqaan Institute of Qur’anic Education (FIQE.org) offers FREE courses to new Muslims in-house and online. We have launched several sub-projects geared towards the service of the Qur’an here in the US, including a Hifz and Full-time Islamic school with a Qur’an centered education program. All this has been made possible by the generous donations of people like you.
As you are already aware, Al-Furqaan Foundation is a registered 501(c)(3) non-profit nation-wide charitable dawah organization based in Chicago. As an organization of the Qur’an, our main focus is to Insha’Allah deliver a copy of the translation of the Qur’an to every household, every hotel room, every hospital room, every dormitory and every retirement home in America. By delivering the message of Islam to others we will Insha’Allah at least turn the negative stereotypes into positive feelings; and, if Allah wills, the people He chooses will be guided.
InshaAllah for every $100 we deliver 50 copies. For $1,000 we deliver 500, for $10,000…and so on. This year again we are at your doorsteps, asking for your support. We understand there are many Islamic causes, and each one of them is important in their own right. Since this is the month of Qur’an, we feel it’s natural to support the cause of Qur’an in this month.
One thing we have learnt from our project so far is that history can change, and we are all in a position to help that change happen. By the Grace of Allah, more Non-Muslims are reading Qur’an today then ever before. The Qur’an, as it has throughout history is proving itself to be the true miracle it is. We are looking for you to sponsor as many copies as you can – 100, 500, 1,000 or more copies of the Qur’an this Ramadhan – and participate in this Sadaqa-e-Jariya on behalf of your parents, family or other loved ones.
May Allah open the hearts of the Muslims this Ramadan to give in the cause of Islam, and may Allah remove their worries, hardships, and increase His guidance, blessings and mercy on them (Ameen). Feel free to call us with any questions about our projects.
Jazakum Allahu Khairan,
