Scots Put Prophet’s Sunnah into Action

Rohingya News Agency‏ ‏‎–(onislam):‎ A group of Scottish Muslims are taking Da`wah to a new level in their locality by putting the teachings of Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) into action to tackle social injustices and give young Muslims a platform to volunteer and help the needy in their own city.

“We want our Da'wah to be through our actions. And what better way than to help improve our community,” Samir Zaveri, a founding member of Taught by Muhammad volunteer group, said in an e-mail to OnIslam.net.

“We want to show the world that what they hear about Islam in the mainstream media is not true.

“We want people to see firsthand what our beloved Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) taught us,” he added.

Back in 2013, the outreach project in Dundee was first launched by a group of enthusiastic Muslims wishing to present a true image of their faith.

For them, the project aimed at correcting misconceptions about Islam by working within Dundee's community with different faith groups.

Moreover, it was suggested to offer Muslim youth a platform to volunteer to combat social injustices within their community.

Another target for young Muslim youth was to live the Islamic message of justice, tolerance and equality and inspire others into similar action via online campaigns.

The project work started in September 2013 with bus ads and street posters with prophetic quotes going up around the city to spread the Islamic principle of love and helping the needy.

Over the duration of eight weeks, buses displaying messages from Prophetic narrations were seen around the city spreading universal messages of love for the other.
