Hello,

In the next couple of weeks I'll be opening my own web site. Is there anything people want in a web site?

I would like to see a web site like slashdot for Islam. See http://slashdot.org -- Be that an area where there are hot topics of recent interesest, and people can post feedback. Don't know of any such place at this time. (Although I also have my doubts about such a page, as I won't have the following needed to make it popular. Does such a place exist, and I've missed it? Wouldn't a big site better for such a forum?)

Other ideas I've kicked around:

1) A shopping mall that links to business sites. I'd verify that they are legit, and offer some a basic guarantee, for those afaid to make purcahses online. Include a search engine for specific items. (I'm shopping for various items right now, and I don't know who to trust.)

2) A simple link list for links to good sites with good information to increase link popularity. Just to help existing sites, as there are lots of good places out there already, but people may have a hard time finding them. Link popularity is everything these days for the search engines.

But, what I think isn't important. What do people want to see? There is lots of good stuff out there already. Don't want to duplicate effort.

In my not so humble opinion, I think everyone needs to read the Qur'an. Read it again. And again. And again. But the reality is that people "surf the net" looking for quick bites of info rather than solid info.

Look forward to your reply.

As Salamu Alaikum Brother AbdurRahman..

This is a good idea...I think that many Muslims when creating a site would focus on Islam and topics on Islam alone..and if they would want to create a site which deals with other stuff they would create another site for it...but if i understood you correctly you wanna create a site that is diverse in its content but yet holds its islamic identity and this is very much needed..

also adding the Quran to the site would be very important also i think everyone needs to read about the Prophet Muhammad peace and blessings of Allah be upon him..his life, his character...cuz thats the only way to truly understand the Quran is by seeing the life of this great prophet...Aisha the wife of Prophet Muhammad peace be upon him when asked about the Character of the Prophet she said: "The Prophet (peace be upon him) was a walking Quran." ...everything in the Quran he put into practice so its a clear example for humans all around the globe on how a human life should be led on the light of God's Word..

and also lastly as i was surfing through slash dot, i noticed that they promote products, businesses and also they have updates on latest science discoveries..and all are focusin' on the IT world...so do you have a vision on what field of knowledge your site will be focused on...and what you can update the visitors regularly on regards to?!

i found a similair muslim site which is smaller though, and focuses on news..maybe u can check it out..

Hope this serves as feedback..:)

wasSalaam Alaikum wa Rahmatullah wa Barkatuh..
