Assalamualaikum warahmatullahi wabarakatuhu, Brothers and Sisters in Islam. Welcome to Ramadhan.org This year, Ramadhan is expected around the 5th or 6th of November, 2002 - of course dependant upon the sighting of the moon. This Ramadhan sees the Islamic Ummah facing numerous, global tribulations and tests from Allah. With the prospect of yet another war on Muslim land, this time in Iraq, with the on going massacres in Palestine and the potential for more oppression and killings in Chechnia, we at Ramadhan.org will attempt to bring you the latest discussions, topical articles which mirror the discussions going on in the Islamic Ummah in the wider world. Our du'a and hope as ever is for the whole Islamic Ummah and directed only to Allah SWT alone. We will also provide links to other websites in the world in various languages - Arabic, Turkish, German and Malay. As with the previous years, InshaAllah, Ramadhan.org will endeavor to bring to you the usual mixture of Islamic Culture, Ramadhan discussions, discussions of the tafseer of the Qur'an as well as news of the situation of our Global Ummah. There will be free screen savers, E'id cards, flash presentations as well as wall papers for all. InshaAllah, we will endeavor to put up messages and well wishes from you dear readers. InshaAllah we aim to set up small discussion groups where you are invited to participate and discuss the issues facing the Islamic Ummah today.
