It was in January 1997 that I entered the Web. My inclination towards religion, in
general, and Islam, in particular, drew me towards sites that were religious in their
content. I saw a number of sites... one after the other... not only Muslim sites but also
a number of Christian, Jewish and Hindu sites.
It was sometime in June 1997 that I started exploring the
idea of launching my own web page. The idea initiated primarily because of two reasons:
-
After looking at the Muslim sites, I felt that by the grace of
Allah, and because of the training that I had received from my teacher, Javed Ahmad
Ghamidi, I really had something to contribute to the Islamic literature already available
on the web; and
It was only in October 1997 that I finally succeeded in
launching my first web page. The page was initially situated at a free web space offered
by my ISP. The address at that time was: http://www.brain.net.pk/~dsera.
After some time, I started receiving questions on Islam, which subsequently, I decided to
add to my page. It was in April 1999 that with a generous contribution of one of my
respected friends, Mian Aamer Mahmood, Chairman Punjab
Group of Colleges that a new site was launched with the present registered domain name.
Subsequently in May 2001, Mr. Nohman Ishtiaq - who is a Chartered Management Accountant
by profession and an expert website designer, as everyone can see - contributed
his time and expertise and gave a crispier and a more manageable look to the
site. Thus, the journey, which had initiated at
http://www.brain.net.pk/~dsera has
now reached the stage which the readers see on these pages.
May the Almighty bless all those, during the life of this
world as well as the hereafter, who have contributed in my work, and may He
grant us the privileged opportunity of serving His Truth.
My main objectives in maintaining this page are:
-
To present a clear and unbiased view of Islam;
-
to answer questions on Islam; and
-
to answer criticisms on Islam, and especially the Qur'an.
In May 1998, I added an Urdu page for the benefit of
expatriate Indians and Pakistanis.
I invite all those who agree with my objectives to contribute
to my cause of Da`wah (propagation of Islamic thought) in any and every way that
they can.
May Allah help us in helping His Deen
(Religion).
