ASSALAMU ALAIKUM!
Dear Readers of The Islamic Bulletin,
We apologize for the delay in your monthly issues. There was an unfor-
tunate incident that happened to our computer system. The computer
caught a “virus” and therefore, all the information which was stored in
the computer was lost. We have now repaired our computer and we
are ready to once again begin the monthly issues of the Islamic Bulletin.
The Islamic Bulletin is published by the Islamic Center of San Francisco,
a non-profit organization, established in 1957. The writers and editors
of this newsletter voluntarily work to spread and teach Islam. Our read-
ers are always encouraged to submit articles for publication as well as
comments/suggestions on ways to improve this newsletter.
Once again, our many thanks to God for allowing us this opportunity
to make this newsletter possible. This newsletter has also become very
popular in other countries. We have received subscriptions from Russia,
China, Japan, Bulgaria, Malta, Saudi Arabia, Italy, Ethiopia, Brazil, Egypt,
Turkey and India. In India, we have given permission for the Islamic
Bulletin to be translated in Gujrati.
We have decided to include Zakat, one of the five pillars of Islam, in
this issue. With the conclusion of this issue, we will have now covered
three pillars of Islam --- Hajj (Pilgrimage), Ramadan (Fasting) and Zakat
(Charity). The Islamic Bulletin is a powerful tool in spreading Islam. The
issues of the newsletter which contain the pillars of Islam would make
good reading material for non-Muslims who are interested in reading
about Islam, as well as for us Muslims who are always eager to read
more about our great religion of Islam. As we update our mailing list
for 1992, please notify us of any change of address. We encourage all
our readers who wish to remain as subscribers, yet have not paid the
$10.00 subscription fee to cover postage, to please do so today. So
please don’t be left out!
