The Bilal Muslim Mission is an organization founded with the goal of spreading Islam (particularly as understood by Ahlul-bayt) to Africans and people of African descent. When it was founded in Tanzania in 1964, there were almost no African Shia Muslims. Due to the hard work of renown scholar, Allamah Sayyid Akhtar Rizvi and others who followed his guidance, the community has grown tremendously and spread to numerous other countries.In 1993, the Bilal Muslim Mission of America was founded to continue this mission of tabligh in the Americas. Starting in Orlando, Florida, it has now spread to Trinidad and Guyana.

as salaamu alaikum wa rahmatullah wa barakatu wa ramadan mubarak,
this may not be the best forum to ask, but i was wondering if it were possible for me to be a contributing writer for "third resurrection"? i have been blogging since august of this year, basically chronicling my time in johannesburg, south africa as a fulbright scholar. i also write about politics within the muslim community, africa/african diaspora, capitalism, the prison industrial complex, gender+feminism and gentrification. in addition to blogging, i am also a photographer as well as a graphics+collage artist. i graduated in honors at 20 and am now in joburg, south africa doing independent research on spatial politics and the reterritorialization of the inner city space. you can check my self-designed blog at http://kameelahwrites.blogspot.com. please let me know (kameelahwrites@gmail.com) shukran.
