Launching the BAIS at IOU

Tuesday, January 12th, 2010

Just came back from an intensive weekend (7-8 Jan) in Oman with my core IOU (Islamic Online University) team and the stage has now been set for launching the Bachelors in Islamic studies (BAIS) in March 2010. Registration will begin from the 15th of January, Allah willing. Al-hamdulillaah, an excellent promo was completed by one of our volunteers and the process of hiring full-time staff and teachers for supervising the different courses has begun. FREE BA in ISLAMIC STUDIES

Trip to Muscat

Thursday, January 7th, 2010

I am currently in Muscat, Oman, meeting with the membersĀ of my team for the IOU in order to get the systems ready to launch the FREE BA in Islamic Studies by the end of this month. Tomorrow I’ll be giving a talk to those involved in Da’wah at the Grand Mosque of Sultan Qaboos on methods of Da’wah. We still have meetings tomorrow morning and evening to hammer out the remaining details and the new format for the IOU website. Please pray for our success in this matter.

While there, I was asked to give a lecture on “Methods of Da’wah” to those involved in Da’wah at the last minute. Many were surprised to hear that I was in Oman, as my trip was itself a last minute decision. My dear friend and brother, Abdur Raheem Green, is coming here for a lecture tour on the 13th January. Previously, another dear friend and brother Dr Abdullah Hakeem Quick was there.
