Al-Islam Group to Launch New Website
P.K. Abdul Ghafour, Arab News Al-Islam Group, a charitable organization, plans to launch tomorrow a new website named quranforall.org and two CDs containing several books in multiple languages to celebrate Ramadan. "This is our third Islamic website," said Muhammad Abdul Mateen Osmani, director of the group. The websites were set up to disseminate the message of Islam all over the world, he added. The first website, launched in November 2002 received 2.3 million hits from people in 80 countries, Osmani pointed out. The second site named prophetmuhammadforall.org received 200,000 hits within six months of its launching in April 2004. "We developed the new site called quranforall.org as well as the two CDs named Explore Qur'an in Ramadan to celebrate the holy month in a unique and useful manner," Osmani said. "Many people think that the Qur'an is only for Muslims. Actually, it is a divine book of guidance for the whole humanity. In our new website and CDs you will find a lot of information about the Qur'an in English, Urdu and Telugu languages," he said. Spelling out the special features of the new site, Osmani said it includes the Qur'an recitation by Sheikh Abdul Rahman Al-Sudais, one of the imams of the Grand Mosque in Makkah, and translation of the Qur'an in English, Urdu and Telugu. "It's the only website where you can read the full Qur'an translation of the late Islamic scholar Maulana Abul Aala Moudoodi in both English and Urdu," he pointed out.
