The website

This week has been particularly interesting for Burooj Stars. We have our website up and running. Also this would be my first website. I always have dreamt of a web presence and today I feel so glad to have one up and hosted.

A website is in today's world a prmary means of presenting yourself to those whom you have never met. It also showcases the talents and iden as, which otherwise would take hours and hours of explanation.

Aslo we did our first campaign for revenue. Selling a few CDs isn't exaclty a source of revenue but a beginning has been made. The idea is selling the CDs here in Dubai, that would cover the cost of basic printing every month. And selling 3 CDs isn't exaclty a dream start but not a bad one either!

I am a firm beleiver in money management and financial success. There are far more things we can do while we have money than when do dont. Look at the Bill and Milenda Foundation. An amazing amount of work needs to be done and all that can be done at the back of financial gains and power to spend.

A classical case is that of fund raiser during the Prohpet's (peace be upon him) battles. Do I need to remind of the famous incident when Uthman gave away a huge part of his wealth and the Prophetic words that no matter what Uthman does, he is exempted.

Or the struggle and competition that Umar set himself against the one and only Abu Bakr. Same goes in today's dawah activities. And if we are able to create a system that generates enough revenue to sustain itslef, then would the real dawah get going. A dawah that is not dependent on donations and suffers when the influx slows.

A true Dawah campaign should be a champion of the cause and not a after effect a fundraising drive.
