In a world where the vision of Islam is continuously muddled though the media and the actions of a few, one man sought to rethink what the ideals of Islam can do to unify people through the values  that everyone has in common, values  like honesty, mercy, and foresight. Dr. Naif Al-Mutawa, a clinical psychologist licensed in New York state and  trained at Bellevue Hospital’s survivors of political torture program, wanted to create characters that his five sons, as well as children from across every cultural and religious spectrum could look up to. And thus, The 99 were created.

Why?

The ‘Find out why’ initiative is a great way for Muslims and Non-Muslims alike to understand why fasting was prescribed to us by Allah, what Ramadan teaches all mankind, and how learning more about this month is beneficial for all, regardless of  faith.

“The month of Ramadan, in which the Qur’an was sent down as guidance for people, and as clear signs of Guidance and the Criterion (between truth and falsehood). Therefore whoever of you is present this month, must fast it, and whoever is so ill that he cannot fast or on a journey (must fast the same) number of other days. God wills ease for you, and He does not will hardship for you, so that you can complete the number of the days required, and exalt God for He has guided you, and so it may be that you will give thanks (due to Him)”. Qur’an 2:185

Suggest this site to everyone around you who may or may not understand Ramadan, for it is said in the Qura’an:

By time, Indeed, mankind is in loss, Except for those who believe and achieve righteous deeds and advise each other to truth and advise each other to patience. Quran 103:1-4

This past month, Zaytuna College published a collection of videos on their YouTube Channel with the theme “Why Religion Still Matters”, to promote a fundraising event for their College that was held on June 27th, 2010. We found this campaign using Social Media to be inspiring. They had video features of prominent personalities from the Muslim Community in North America. The videos can be viewed in 720HD and are in short lengths to keep viewers engaged. We counted 15 videos in total, but there is a possibility that a few more may be added. We noticed a few were recently published on their YouTube Channel within the past week. If you haven’t checked the videos out already, we encourage you to check out the 5 that we have featured in this post, and to visit their Channel.
