Writing a post on increasing islamic knowledge. Let me know what you want me to include.
Increasing islamic knowlege,
Well something that i think is crucial to the masses in terms of increasing islamic knowledge is Dawah. Now, i recently came back from a holiday in sweden, and the brothers over there spend a lot of time in the city center, handing out leaflets about who the prophet PBUH was and the central dogma of our religion, that is, islam.
I think dawah, is one of the most fundemental aspects that should no doubt, be a part of your post. I could go into the intricate details if you like, of dawah, but i am sure you know what it entails.
^^Very interesting read about a slave revolt orchestrated by Bahia Muslim slaves, Brazil 1835.
"The people who organized the revolt were exclusively Muslim scholars. Due to the strength of the Muslim community, they were well respected by the people and held in a position of honor and esteem.
These Muslim scholars, as well as many others, used the mosques as a base of operations. There they discussed plans for revolt, stored weapons, and educated the local Africans. It was through these mosques that Malam Bubakar distributed his call to jihad (holy struggle, or military resistance). He wrote out a document in Arabic that called on Muslims to unify in preparation for the coming revolt against their Brazilian masters."
Shhhhhh, you'll get the non-Muslims suspicious of us when we congregate in Mosques
