As-Salaamu-Alaikum (Peace be with you).
Thank you for taking the time to comment. It’s a big step to go from observer to participant. It means a lot for the group intellect to have you join the conversation here. I think we have a great community and your presence can make it stronger.
If you enjoy the intellectual exchange here, I’d like you to “make yourself at home” regardless of faith. As I said in Genesis, “the management of resources and competing demands are fundamental concerns independent of organizational philosophy.” I'll try to make our forum as open as possible while maintaining the highest standards. So I’d like to hear your opinion, even if you disagree. In fact, civil disagreement can be another pathway to learning.
You're also invited to tune in Building the Community Life Seminar Mondays 9 a.m. EST on AM360.org. And here are some great tools to stay connected:
I’m looking forward to getting to know you.
Please see Meet Mukhtar to learn a little more about your moderator.
Well that’s it. Welcome again! And thank you for participating and for being in the forefront of a new American leadership.
Sincerely & respectfully,
Mukhtar

WELCOME BACK! Don't forget to join us for the Building the Community Life Seminar 9 a.m. EST on the #1 Islamic radio station in the nation...AM360.org
Since 2006, I’ve had the privilege and honor to serve as chair of the Words Make People (WMP) Scholarship program and National Scholarship Committee. Together with FAMACO Publishers, and the Scholarship’s fiduciary partner, Masjid An Nur Minneapolis, we’ve been able to accomplish some great work contributing thousands in scholarship funds to deserving students across the country.
By the Grace of Allah (SWT), my work with the WMP Scholarship and with the national nonprofit, Community Wide Shuraa Conference (www.cwsc.us), presented both organizations with a unique opportunity to enhance the WMP and CWSC by placing the WMP Scholarship program permanently under the program management of CWSC and facilitating CWSC’s desire to have a scholarship program.
In doing so, I am confident we have secured the long term future of the Scholarship program. Both FAMACO Publishers and CWSC released press statements following the Scholarship’s transfer that includes details on applying for, sharing and contributing to the WMP. The links are embedded below.
I am thankful to my wife Darlene for her generosity, patience and assistance as a co-founder of the WMP and we’re both grateful Allah (SWT) graced us to be catalysts for what is now a national community service program in the care of committed volunteers and under the governance of CWSC. We ask now that you give support to CWSC and its national scholarship committee… help us increase the Scholarship’s funding so we can help more of our students pursue a higher education…their future is our future.
Thank you & Peace until next time.
Sincerely & respectfully,
Mukhtar
