Mission Statement: The primary mission of this website is to peel away centuries of encrustation that has infiltrated Islam’s sacred belief and practice. The methodology employed to achieve this goal is to first understand the “moments” of revelation and the “nature” of the authentic Prophetic tradition. These are then re-interpreted within the context of this complex, contemporary global village, to provide clear guidance for all people in accordance with God’s purpose “to make life easy and not difficult” for humankind.
