I don’t write many articles, so I wanted to be sure I made this one count. To get to where you want to, you have to know where you’re going so I set about thinking what an article is for and came up with a flood of purposes: information, advice, persuasion, self-help, entertainment and so on.
Five years ago, I never could have imagined what the Muslim Writers Society would become. At the time, the idea had not even occurred in my mind. When I started OneUmmah.net in 1999, my hope was to create a small web site to promote unity among Muslims. I had experienced the ugly side of our Ummahs disharmony with itself, and I had envisioned making some small contribution by writing a few articles and publishing them on the web.
Introduction
Verily all praises are due to Allah. We praise and glorify Him, we seek help from Him, we ask of His forgiveness and we turn to Him. We seek refuge in Him from the evil within us and from our evil deeds. Whomsoever Allah guides there is no one to mislead him and whomsoever Allah misguides; there is no one to guide him. I testify that there is none worthy of worship except Allah, Who is One, and He has no partner. I bear witness that Muhammad sallallaahu alayhi wa sallam is His servant and His Messenger. May Allah bestow Durood (His choicest blessings) upon him and his noble family and companions and those who followed them with excellence.

The seeds of creating civilization are all there within the very essence of
Islam. But weve lost the faculty that could make us discover, appreciate
and develop on that inherent civilization-creating scope. When you imbibe
that essence, you create glorious civilizations like the one in Madina 621
A.D, in Andalusia, in Baghdad.
