Each
month, RELIGION & ETHICS NEWSWEEKLY chooses a Web site we find
to be a significant contribution to religion and ethics. For
March, 2001, our Site of the Month is Islamicity at: http://www.islamicity.com.
Established in
1995, IslamiCity is an online information service for the global
Muslim community (1.6 billion people worldwide). It's mission is
to employ new technologies in order to provide a worldwide
audience with the most comprehensive source of information
regarding Islam and Muslims. In addition to being a community
portal for information exchange, IslamiCity is an e-Commerce hub
providing goods and services for Muslims worldwide.
Here
users will find a vast offering of articles, ranging from general
news to an explanation of the five pillars of Islam, including a
step-by-step guide to the Hajj -- the pilgrimmage to Mecca. One
section provides accurate prayer times for almost any city
throughout the world, while another contains RealAudio files of
recitations from the Qur'an, in both Arabic and English. An online
Bazaar makes appropriate merchandise available, and Chat Rooms and
Message Boards allow for the exchange of ideas.
