- AssalaamOalaikum,
-
- It is a pleasure to note that there are other brothers who have also
- done an excellent job of making information pertaining to Islam &
- Muslims available on voluntary basis.

- CyberMuslim informs us of Muslim forums and organizations on internet
- while Islamic Resource guide emphasizes on the quran, hadith, prayer and
- miscellaneous software packages available.

- In this section of FAQ, both CyberMuslim & Islamic Resource Guide have
- been included verbatim with permission from the authors. Both guides are
- also available independently on Caltech MSA FTP Site-1-
- (ftp.cco.caltech.edu dir:/pub/calmsa).

-
-
-
- After attending the Second International Conference on Computer
- Technology in Service of Islam in San Jose, CA (April 1992), I decided
- that there was a need to compile a list of various computing resources
- available to the Muslim community.
-
- This resource guide will serve as a listing for software and major
- network resources such as electronic mailing lists, forums and newsgroups
- related to discussion of Islamic topics.
-
- I have limited the scope of the guide to software published in the
- English language in order to maintain a focus and keep the guide at a
- manageable size. I realize that there are many Arabic language software
- packages available. I have consciously omitted them. Perhaps someone else
- will pick up the slack in this area.
-
- This guide is provided as a free service to the Muslim community, I did
- my best to secure its accuracy but in no way do I guarantee its
- authenticity. Please do not hold me liable for anything. I would also
- like to thank the many individuals that provided me with much of the
- information listed here, may Allah reward their efforts. You may
- distribute this guide electronically as you wish, but if you wish to
- publish it in any print media, e.g. newsletters or magazines, please
- contact me first. I will most certainly grant you permission; I simply
- would like to keep track of how and where this guide is used. Please send
- any additions, corrections or comments to me via e-mail at
- hashem@netcom.com.
-
- The latest copy of this guide is available via file transfer (FTP) from
- the AMASS Software Library at Boston University. Thanks go to Abdelsalam
- Heddaya.
-
- Inshallah, you will find this guide useful.
