Some Information About as-Sunnah
The Need for
an English Newsletter:
The idea of an English newsletter has been around for quiet a few years, since
there are a large number of English readers in India and there is a grave
shortage of Authentic Islamic literature in English.
Though, various good books have been translated to English, they are very expensive according to Indian standards, ... rather practically unaffordable.
AHYA al-hamdulillah, despite its meager resources, has published a number of booklets and leaflets. The as-Sunnah newsletter is another of AHYA's projects to make Islamic Knowledge more accessible to the people. as-Sunnah has some original articles, some articles based upon lectures by scholars and some beneficial articles from published books and websites. On the whole, as-Sunnah gives a good and regular access to Islamic issues on various topics.
The primary focus of as-Sunnah is Aqeedah - the Correct Islamic Creed, which is the most important aspect of Islam. Other social and religious issues are also covered.
What makes
as-Sunnah unique?
- Firstly, there is no copyright, so it can be freely copied and distributed.
It is either freely distributed by certain institutions or can be subscribed
at a very nominal rates (Rs. 40.00 in Bombay).
- Secondly it is the only source of Authentic Islamic Literature (in English)
in India (a country with 200 million plus - Muslims).
- It makes Islamic literature accessible to those who cannot buy expensive
books, nor connect to the Internet.
- as-Sunnah is a great way to exchange
information and keep in touch with brothers and sisters from the far corners
of India.
Our Target -

parts of the world specially remote areas.
