Take Action

“What you can do…”

1) Have trust in Allah (swt).  Work for the unity of Muslims and for seeking justice, truth and peace.

2) Get involved! Join one or more Muslim advocacy organizations sincerely committed to bringing about positive change. Click here for a list.

3) Continue the practice of giving sadaqa (voluntary charity) to legitimate Muslim charities and advocacy organizations.

4) Develop your community’s economy by supporting Muslim businesses and stores.

5) Whenever necessary, write letters to the various print and broadcast media to challenge the distortions and (often deliberate) misrepresentations of Islam and Muslims.

6) Whenever necessary write letters/ emails to your government representative(s) and international human rights organizations levying pressure to promote justice and peace.

7) Call in on radio/ TV talk shows to either support or challenge what's being said.

8) Organize educational and mobilization forums in your Masjid, schools and other venues within the community. Strive to educate the Muslim and non-Muslim communities on the human rights and civil liberties issues.

9) Get out of the habit of thinking "dua" (prayer) alone will change things. Islam requires that we ACT as well as pray!

10) As you endeavor to educate the non-Muslim public, work simultaneously to build meaningful coalitions (with human rights activists and all others) around issues of common concern.
