LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

1986 7 July 23 LETTERS TO THE EDITOR (354) I have had the unmistakably golden opportunity of coming across an issue of your publication AI-Risala, March 1986, No. 26 and I am highly well impressed. It was quite a rare experience to see such correct thought and belief in such Islamically profound, yet appealingly modern garb. It is indeed a decisive step in the cause of making Islam what is meant to be a universal religion. I pray to Allah for our continued enlightenment and guidance on His way.

Your magazine is truly refreshing in that it avoids petty politics, factionalism, sectarianism, etc., and just concentrates on the Islamic message. I very much agree with the editorial in your latest issue (No. 23).

I hope and pray that your magazine may one day be made available free of charge to all people, just like the Christian’s “The Plain Truth” (U.S.A). I pray that Allah help me in the near future to make it into a reality.

I would like to congratulate you on the initiative you have shown in producing the AI-Risala. However, I feel that it will in the end only reach the converted as there is so little general public interest in Islam.

In a way, a more effective method of reaching out to people would be to have short, interesting articles sent to the Sunday newspapers, which explain the reality of Islamic law such as the Prophet’s extraordinarily modern attitude towards the rights of women. Couched in good language with examples, they might help to dispel some of the prejudices against Islam which have done so much to create barriers between people.

TARA ALI BAIG An-Noor R-8, Hauz Khas New Delhi -11 0016 I am very happy to have received a copy of your monthly magazine, “AI-Risala” edited by our good brother Maulana Wahiduddin Khan. It is cleanly printed and well presented. Please accept my warmest congratulations on this useful publication.
