While it cannot be independently verified what the motivation was behind the interest in theology, it is clear that theology is what it is because of the input of Continue reading...

Theoretically speaking, the term 'stakeholders' refers to "any group or individual who can affect or is affected by the achievement of organizations objectives" (Freeman, 2010).

Every religion advocates philanthropy and looks at it as an essential aspect for the welfare of mankind. Islam is no exception and we find that Islamic rulings make charity obligatory. The western world does not associate the philanthropy with Islam and rather look at the Muslim community as propagators of violence and terrorism. The West looks at Islam as authoritarian and domination of women. Their unawareness of the Quran and the conducts of the Prophet keep them away from the reality that Islam is all about compassion, mercy and generosity. It is perhaps the irresponsible attitude of certain Muslims Continue reading...

This would give me a new experience apart from the normal life of Christianity and the general church experience. This event was scheduled to take place in one of the Continue reading...
