WELCOME TO NEW AGE ISLAM MAPPING AN AGENDA FOR THE 21ST CENTURY

Islamic website New Age Islam seeks to promote rethinking on various aspects of traditional Islamic thought so as to enable Muslims to integrate in today’s world while preserving their Muslim identity. While rethinking several aspects of Islam, New Age Islam examines such fundamental issues as what Islam actually is, who or what a ‘Muslim’ is, what the notion of a ‘practising Muslim’ is or should be, what Islam actually says about such issues as women’s rights, freedom, democracy, nationalism, peace, justice, co-existence, pluralism, war, politics and Muslims’ relations with the state they live in. It discusses how Muslims living as minorities should relate to the state and dominant non-Muslim majorities and so on. It also seeks to highlight human rights abuses of minorities in both Muslim-majority and Muslim-minority countries.

Islamic website New Age Islam seeks to base its views on the Holy Quran as much as possible and discusses the issue of how authentic Ahadeeth (Hadeethes, purported sayings of Prophet Mojammad pbuh) can be considered to be. New Age Islam accepts as valuable resource those ahadeeth which seem to be aligned with the teachings of the Holy Quran.

Islamic website New Age Islam's views are completely non-sectarian and it tries to promote the Islam that Prophet Mohammad left behind and completed in his lifetime. New Age Islam contributors consider Ijtihad an important God-given tool for development of the Muslim community and its integration into the life of the Twenty-first century.

Islamic website New Age Islam is an open forum, where divergent views on a wide range of issues are freely debated and contested. It seeks to urge Muslims to introspect, to cease blaming others for all their ills, to recognize where they have gone wrong, in terms of both thought and action.

Contributors and editors of Islamic website New Age Islam are a group of Muslims, South Asian in origin, but based mostly in the Middle East, Europe and North America, concerned at the present state of affairs in which the very word Muslim has become synonymous with terrorism, contempt for human rights, mistreatment of women, backwardness and ignorance. Islam had come to the world as a blessing of God to mankind. How has Islam today been reduced to an object of fear, provoking Islamophobia? Islam had come to the world to fight the Jahiliya. We Muslims being regarded all over the world today as the representatives of that same Jahiliya is something contributors and editors of New Age Islam find completely unacceptable. For as much as at least the last five hundred years religious thought in Islam has been largely stagnant, even though original, what is called orthodox or salafi Islam suggested ways in which to accept and internalise change.

Contributors and editors of Islamic website New Age Islam wonder if there is something we can do about it? Perhaps, not much! It is too gigantic a task for us to undertake with our meagre resources. But do we have the option to do nothing, just ‘stand and stare’? We don’t think so. There is a large number of Muslims all over the world that we know feels more or less the same way as we do. The internet gives us a facility: we can try and bring many such people together either on one platform or at least link many of the individual platforms of like-minded people that already exist. Islamic website New Age Islam is run by a registered charitable public trust New Age Islam Foundation based in Delhi, India.
