About Us:
Salaam!!
We are a group of Muslim families who live in the Shreveport/Bossier area.
We aim to create a unified, kind and welcoming environment for our fellow Muslim community, a place where we can all share together, laugh and cry together, get to know each other, be sincere brothers and sisters, lend helping hands, listening ears, and supporting shoulders to each other. We would like to pray together, thank Allah together, learn/ teach, and research Islamic values and the Quran together, and better our community for our children, families and neighbors ensha-Alllah.
Some of us are new to the area and would appreciate help in navigating/locating resources in the community. Many of us are here on a temporary basis, far from our friends and family and would definitely appreciate comradeship of other people with similar values and interests.
In order to help create and sustain the physical connections needed throughout our Muslim community, this website and its sister sites listed below will be used ensha-Allah as means to share information, inspiration, friendly discussions and event planning for get-togethers, lessons, activities.... We hope that the added contribution of each and everyone of the members of our Muslim community physically and to the websites will enrich our community, in order to create a good and strong net of friendship/brotherhood/sisterhood on the net and also in real life, ensha-Allah.

Mission/Vision:
Our vision is the vision of peace, humility and humanity. Humanity requires compassion for your fellow being. As the below poem from Sa’adi points out, a person cannot bear the name of "human" unless he/she shows compassion for his fellow human beings.
Human beings are members of a whole,
In creation of one essence and soul.
If one member is afflicted with pain,
Other members uneasy will remain.
If you have no sympathy for human pain,
The name of human you cannot retain.
In addition, as Muslims, our holy book "The Quran" tells us to help each other, enjoin in good deeds, not enjoin in bad deeds, be faithful and join together in the mutual teaching of Truth, Patience and Constancy. By doing this we hope to be among the best people that our creator has evolved for mankind, ensha-Allah!
Jazakum-Allah Kheir! :)
