The Muslim Community Social Network: YRAC

2:148  "To each is a goal to which Allah turns him; then strive together (as in a race) Towards all that is good. Wheresoever ye are, Allah will bring you Together. For Allah Hath power over all things."

YOU R A CREATOR! (Huh?) Yes, ....you!  Allah, The Most High, has given you the gift to develop and create new forms out of what you have been given.  Allah, who is The Creator, (The One who brings everything from non-existence to existence) has given you a special faculty, a special ability, to create and form a better environment for yourself here on this earth. You should be excited! 

Its like you've just been hired to construct the perfect building. You out of all people have been chosen to help build it.  Your boss (Lord) has given you all the right tools to work with, and even a set of architectural plans to go from.  (And he even gave you the example of the best person to have ever done it....oh say over 1400 years ago).

Ok. So the focus is Islamic Community Life (aka. our perfect building). So what's next? Planning. Communication. Organization. NETWORKING!

Where would we be able to see and participate in...

• Calendar of Events from around the world
• A map of believers across the world for networking
• A Radio Gadget to allow you to listen to countless hours of Islamic Music and YRAC musicians
• Sell or Buy-Shopping Mall of Muslim clothes, accessories, and resources

• Interesting Blogs of believers across the world.

well...I think you know where this is going....

YRAC is a Muslim community online / social network, started in 2008, that seeks to serve the needs of a Progressive Islamic Experience. Composed of Muslim young adults, the YRAC platform is designed to close the gaps between vision and fruition, people and resources, individual endeavors and community life. In other words, this is the place to be if you want to connect to make it happen: handing the world with what God has placed in your palm. At YRAC, stagnation is the disease to heal, progress is our continual aim. We're always moving forward; with arms outstretched to help one another. We are a family; recognizing that everyone has a significant role, and each puzzle piece must be present and in proper position to see and appreciate the full picture. We also recognize that this Movement is bigger than us...we strive--with utter humility and great pleasure--to be the fulfillment of our Creator's Will. Join us as we partake to create...

If you are on a social networking website like facebook or myspace, in my opinion you have no excuse not to be on this site that is designed to bring out the best spirit in you! And when you look at the site, you can see the difference. You are welcomed to the family upon your arrival.  Its like walking into a new Masjid!  Guess who's there to greet you at the door?! 

During the 2006 "Ramadan Session", 67 young adults gathered in a group to discuss our place in furthering the progress of our community. Many of us named different tasks that we would take on and complete. From my past experience managing other online communities & websites, I thought it would be great to create an "online community" where we could all come together as a collective to insure our future goals. Clear and efficient, imagine all of us in one place, one location… and it seems this is possible by way of online communication. Even though we have other community sites that we're all a part of, we thought it would be best to have one place where we know Every One will be. Please support this vision and lets be productive Muslims.

This is the vision!  Infusing the Islamic spirit into our complete life.  You R A Creator...come join me and others in building our communities.
