Join us

Every answer needs a team. Join us, from home.

From 1999 to 2003, a great many people helped Islam-Today. Now I am building the team again. I am looking for people who write scripts, make videos with the help of AI, check sources or look after our channels. All roles are voluntary, and most take a few hours a week.

We take few people, but very good ones.

All roles are voluntary. You work from home, with fixed hours per week that you choose yourself. You work with our AI agents. They take over the routine work, you take care of the quality. The first 4 weeks are a trial period for both sides.

How we work

We work online in Microsoft Teams, everyone from home. Whoever joins gets a Teams account and a clear task. No video goes online before an Imam has checked every passage from the Holy Quran and Hadith in the original.

Every answer is made in the same steps:

  1. Find the claim
  2. Look up the evidence
  3. Write the script
  4. Check the evidence
  5. Build the video
  6. Publish

Role 01

Script Writer

Time: 3 to 10 hours a week

Voluntary · online

Apply as Script Writer

What it is about

A lie about Islam can be told in ten seconds. The answer has to be just as short and still be right. You write it, and you write the videos that show how beautiful Islam is.

What you do

  1. 01You get a topic and the matching passages from the Holy Quran and Hadith. The topic is a claim from social media or a side of Islam we want to show.
  2. 02You turn it into a script for a video of 45 to 90 seconds.
  3. 03You name every source with surah and verse or with the Hadith collection.
  4. 04You revise the script when the Imam makes a note.

What you bring

  1. 01You write short and clear.
  2. 02You know Islam well or enjoy learning more.
  3. 03You stay calm, even when the claim makes you angry.
  4. 04A work sample helps us a lot: a text, a post, a script.

Who you work with

With the Imam for Source Review and the AI Video Editor.

Role 02

AI Video Editor

Time: 5 to 15 hours a week

Voluntary · online

Apply as AI Video Editor

What it is about

A checked script becomes a video for TikTok, Instagram, YouTube, Facebook and WhatsApp. We build these videos with AI. That is faster and opens up more possibilities. Whether a video works is still decided by your eye for editing.

What you do

  1. 01You turn the script into a video with AI images, an AI voice and subtitles.
  2. 02You show every source on screen.
  3. 03You deliver the video in the formats the channels need.

What you bring

  1. 01You have edited videos before, professionally or for your own channel.
  2. 02You know what makes a good video: opening, pace, cuts, sound.
  3. 03You show us videos you have edited.
  4. 04You do not need to know AI tools yet. I will show you, step by step.

Who you work with

With me and the Script Writer.

Role 03

Islam-Today is on YouTube, TikTok, Instagram, Facebook, X, Threads, LinkedIn and its WhatsApp channel. You make sure answers appear there regularly.

  2. 02You write titles, descriptions and hashtags.

Role 06

Counter Speech Team

Time: 2 to 5 hours a week

Voluntary · online

Apply for the Counter Speech Team

What it is about

Under many videos about Islam there is not a single answer with a source. We are changing that. You reply from the Islam-Today profile, never from your own.

What you do

  1. 01You find videos and posts that spread lies about Islam or the Prophet.
  2. 02You reply under them briefly and calmly, with surah and verse.
  3. 03You use our collection of checked answers for this.
  4. 04You add every new claim to our list. The next videos come from it.

What you bring

  1. 01You know the Holy Quran well or enjoy learning more.
  2. 02You do not argue. One answer with a source, and that is it.
  3. 03You can read hatred without taking it with you.

Our rules

We answer with sources, never with a counterattack. No links, no insults, no arguments, no judgements about people. Anyone who breaks these rules no longer speaks for Islam-Today.

Who you work with

With the Social Media Manager and the Imam for Source Review.

Role 07

Imam for Source Review

Time: 2 to 5 hours a week

Voluntary · online

What it is about

A misquoted verse does more harm than any lie we answer. That is why no answer goes online without your review. Just like back then, when Imam Basit Tariq answered the questions on the pillars of Islam at Islam-Today.

What you do

  1. 01In every script, you check every passage from the Holy Quran and Hadith in the original.
  2. 02You check whether the passage says what the script claims.
  3. 03You approve the script or send it back with a note.
  4. 04You check the collection of answers the Counter Speech Team uses.
  5. 05You review the answers of our AI system on the Holy Quran and Hadith before we publish them.

What you bring

  1. 01You are an Imam and have studied Islamic theology.
  2. 02You read the Holy Quran in Arabic and understand it.
  3. 03You work carefully, even under time pressure.

With me, a second Imam and the Script Writer.

Editorial Lead

  2. 02You hand out the tasks in Teams and follow up on what is open.
  3. 03You lead the weekly team meeting online.
  4. 04You welcome new team members and explain how things work.

  1. 01You are organised and reliable, week after week.
  2. 02You have coordinated a team or a project before, no matter where.
