Ammanah, a financial institution is creating awareness of Islam and the Oneness of Allah by erecting street signs in prominent areas.
On their website the company says it’s constantly looking for social responsibility programmes that are unique and that fill their company objectives of enjoining in good and forbidding in evil.
“As such our objectives with the Area Boards are to create an Awareness and Remembrance in the hearts and minds of people about the attributes of ALLAH,” says the company on its website.
The company claims the aims of erecting the street signs are twofold:
- “Firstly to erect boards where people would always pass by them and remember Allah and his many attributes. By doing this people would remember Him Allah , even if it be for a second while they are driving around in their daily activities. Here we are reminded about one of many a prophetic saying by which the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) says something to the effect “He (ALLAH) says – if you remember ME (ALLAH) in Prosperity I (ALLAH) will remember you in Adversity”
- “Secondly we wanted to create awareness about Allah amongst people that are not familiar with HIS (Allah’s) qualities and attributes. In this way we hoped Insha'Allah to plant a seed in their hearts and minds about Allah and thus lead them to wanting to know more about Islam.”
Ammanah has decided to erect the street boards in areas which have a high density of Muslim and non-Muslim resident’ and on specific travel routes which have a huge volumes of traffic daily.
