Al-Nur (The Light), v. 1, 1984

Abstract

EDITORIAL: Many people do not know what is Islam. For what value is it in human existence. Who is considered to be a Muslim and many other questions. For those that they knew Islam, they might have learnt it in a different views or had a bias sentiment of anti-Islam. So Islam as a complete and true way of life for human entity was ordained to us by almighty Allah (God) in a comprehensive forms, revealed to generation upon generation through his blessed prophets. In which the last among them is Muhammad (peace be upon him) for Islam. So as a result of this Muslim Association of Stout members decided to prepare this journal which contains Muslim views about Islam. Which we hope will give a little light to both Muslim and non-Muslim. This could also solve a lot of ambiguity especially in minds of persons novice to this religion. Finally, we seek the protection and guidance of almighty Allah (God) in the right path. May Him forgive us for our mistakes in the process of interpreting His sayings. And for those who are not knowledgeable about Islam, may Him give them the ability to understand and make use of it as expected. The theme of this association is not only to explain what is Islam, but as well encourage strong relationship amongst students of Stout and the community Muslims or non- Muslim. The association is welcoming any discussion, observation and commentary in regard to this journal.
