From South Africa to Pakistan, Saudi Arabia to Malaysia and the UK to Australia, Muslims in more than 100 countries benefit from the Islamic educational material Sound Vision develops.
Sound Vision and Islamic Centers in America are partners in our efforts to help Muslims and non-Muslims, young and old learn about Islam. Here are some ways this partnership can be strengthened further:
1. Sponsor an intern from your community
Sound Vision offers internships for Muslims interested in getting involved in Muslim media and communications.
These are paid internships. Why not financially sponsor one intern from your community who will come back and share ideas and develop projects based on what they've learned at Sound Vision?
This is a great way to not only develop media in your Muslim community, but to encourage Muslims to enter fields involving media and communications for the benefit of the national and global Muslim community in the long run, Insha Allah.
2. Arrange a fundraising program for Sound Vision in your community
You can invite us to your community to explain what we do and to raise funds for any of our not for profit projects. You can take advantage of the guest by arranging a meeting with your Sunday school teaching team as well.
3. Save while supporting us
If your community center has never purchased anything from Sound Vision, here is an offer for you. Buy $500 worth of educational products and get $200 worth of Sound Vision DVDs (Adam's World) free for your community. This offer is limited to USA.
4. Encourage writers and reporters in your community to contribute to Sound Vision
Sound Vision is always on the lookout for good writers who can improve content on our website and develop written materials for the Foundation. We also need Muslims who can contribute reports and ideas to Radio Islam. Suggest that the editor of your community newspaper or newsletter contribute a few articles a month to the website or a community report, for instance. This way you'll be helping Sound Vision, a Muslim writer and your community. Do something similar for Radio Islam.
5. Let us work together to develop a lesson plan for our weekend school
Sound Vision's lesson plans aim to help weekend school teachers do their job as best as possible. Support the development of lessons plans. We must make the best use of the few hours a week which children are able to give for Islamic education. This is where our future generation learns Islam. Can your Islamic center sponsor some of the lesson plans?
6. Give us Nasiha (advice) and feedback
What is Sound Vision doing right? What are we doing wrong? We are all human and make mistakes. This is why we need to have mistakes and errors pointed out to us when we do slip up. We also need positive encouragement and ideas to improve our products and services.
Whether it's something on our website, a product that's giving you problems, or a great idea you have that concerns Muslims in your community, tell us about it. Your feedback and Nasiha (advice) can Insha Allah, help us maintain our goal of providing Islamic education and entertainment that is of use and interest to Muslims.
Perhaps you can do a community evaluation of our work and send it to us, with helpful comments and advice.
7. Organize a book fair in your community
You can organize an Islamic educational book fair in your community. It could be independent or part of any other larger activity. Contact us on how we can help you with that.
8. Distribute Sound Vision's flyers
Too often people ask us why no one ever told them about Sound Vision. Please help us distribute Sound Vision's flyers / catalogs to your community. How many persons come for Juma in your Islamic center? Call us at 1-800-432-4262 and we will send you flyers / catalogs for distribution. You can also distribute them through Sunday school or Islamic school students and order together to receive a discount for the school.
