Dear readers, subscribers, and advertisers, Assalaamu alaikum and A BIG THANK YOU for your incredible support for Islamic Times.

We remain overwhelmed by the letters and emails of support and we really appreciate your feedback. This newspaper was formed for the sole purpose of promoting the beautiful, dynamic and enriching way of life that is Islam. We aim to highlight the successes within the Muslim Community as well as expose the injustices happening across the Muslim World.

Needless to say, these are increasingly difficult times to be a Muslim but we cannot afford to dwell on the problems. Islamic Times offers a platform to dispel the myths surrounding Islam both inside and outside of the community.

Cliché as it may sound we have to put differences aside and cooperate to better ourselves. Islamic Times is not affiliated to any group and we hope to represent the diversity of the Muslims in Britain.

We are constantly aiming to improve the content and quality of the paper and we welcome your help by subscribing and donating by phone, email or on our website towards the substantial costs incurred in delivering this paper across the UK to both Muslims and non-Muslims alike.

So if like us, you feel passionate about your beliefs and your community then please get involved.A real big thank you for the donors who have set up standing orders for £20 to £100 per month, this is greatly appreciated.

Please rest assured that all proceeds are invested, and we promise that 50% of all profits will go towards charity and other good causes InshALLAH.

We have introduced a pricing policy of one pound to help us increase the volume of newspapers we have printed and to distribute to a wider area of Muslims in the UK. Surprisingly, the sisters account for 85% of our subscribers and helpers, JazakALLAH sisters. But to the brothers out there... WHERE ARE YOU ALL? Your letting the side down!

Please know that your patience, prayers and support are appreciated.
