Arabic websites have always been the subject of severe criticism concerning content and quantity. And we always ask and even plead for an increase in the Arabic content for the sake of introducing readers to Arabic culture, and to keep Arabic youth connected to this culture. To achieve this we have to provide them with the modern tools.
Looking at the Islamic content on the web, we found encouraging signs where content is available in various languages. And we have put several conditions so we can guarantee that readers are getting the right information about the religion. We selected the most recurrent subjects on the web, and these are the Holly Qur’an, the preachers, Muslim women, Islamic gates, Al Hajj and Umrah.

This might not cover all the Islamic aspects, but it might be the beginning of other research that we may publish in future issues. Women play an important role in society, and that is why we found websites for women only that approach women's life and issues as a mother, wife, sister, daughter and even as a student and housewife. And some of these websites are considered more global than any other websites, while they are in the Arabic language!
