Support US:

 

Those who spend their wealth [in Allah’s way’] by night and by day, secretly and publicly – they will have their reward with the Lord.” Q 2:274.

 

The bane of Islamic Media particularly print media, is lack of patronage by the Ummah; therefore, your patronage of THE PEACE (AS-SALAAM) shall go a long way to entrench our magazine and ensure a broader spread of the Magazine

Dear brothers and sisters, we have a request to ask. More people are reading and supporting the PEACE magazine, than ever before. And unlike many news organizations, we have chosen an approach that allows us to keep floating without going down, the way many Islamic publications had gone.

The PEACE is editorially independent, from any influence of Islamic groups meaning we set our own agenda. Therefore, you may lend a reward able hands by donate voluntarily your widows mite towards sustainability. NO AMOUNT IS TOO SMALL TO GIVE.

This support enables us to keep working as we do – but we must maintain and build on it for every year to come.

Thank you.
