About us

From 1999 to 2003, Islam-Today answered questions about Islam. Now I am taking up this work again, where the questions are asked today.

My name is K. Nadeem Arif. I have lived with ME/CFS for 19 years. I am severely disabled and confined to bed. I build Islam-Today from my bed, with AI agents and with people who help. More about me

How it started

Islam-Today was my personal website. Many volunteers carried it.

Anyone could ask, even without giving their name. Many questions about marriage, family or faith are hard to ask someone face to face. At Islam-Today you could, without shame and without pressure from family or community.

Thank you

I founded and led Islam-Today. It was made possible by the grace of Allah and by the great support of many people.

Mr Hadayatullah Hübsch (1946 to 2011) helped by far the most. May Allah grant him His forgiveness and mercy and elevate his rank.

I also thank Mrs Khola Hübsch, Imam Basit Tariq, Kashif Arif and many others who answered questions, wrote texts and looked after the forum.

By the grace of Allah and with their support, several people found true Islam through Islam-Today.

Some of them told me themselves.
