First off, let’s clear the air: Islam isn’t just for Arabs – in fact, only about 20% of Muslims are Arabs! And did you know that women are converting to Islam in greater numbers than men? Intriguing, right?
Even though Arabic is the language of the Quran, Islam itself isn’t tied to Arabian culture. It’s a universal message of peace and unity. As Allah says in the Quran (21:107),“We have sent you ˹O Prophet˺ only as a mercy for the whole world.”
Islam is about creating a global family where everyone, regardless of their background, comes together in faith and purpose.

Not just mysterious tales but backed by evidence.
Offer clear guidance for everyday life.
