22 Years of ‘The Miracle.’

tions serving all Muslims as a community. It was a regular feature to hold grand community events celebrating Eid- parties, national holidays and many activities of getting together under one roof. In an extremely friendly diverse Canadian society, there were many mediums of mass communications like, newspapers, radio and television owned by other communities living in Vancouver mainland area. It resulted in a perception of a nonexistent Muslim community to mainstream public of British Columbia. In absence of a Muslim media, any concern of Muslim issue was not conveyed in a desired manner to the main stream public of Canada. The Miracle became an independent strong voice to publish issues of Muslim concern within the community as well as outside. There was a strong reaction by and determination to keep Miracle above the crowd ,the Team of Miracle also deserve credit and appreciation , our best wishes and prayers are always with Miracle and Team .

Miracle provide a platform to reflection of themselves in print media

Working with the Miracle has been such a privilege and is an opportunity I appreciate so much. Starting off as a regu- the right wing Muslim community when religious dogmas and taboos were challenged in The Miracle.

It became a common practice by the members belonging to extreme right wing of stealing and throwing in garbage many bundles of the newspaper placed inside the mosques. People having a balanced approach respecting Canadian laws of freedom of speech confronted the extreme ideas. This brought some commotion as well as a platform to discuss different ideas was provided by the Miracle. We published every letter and article without any prejudice.

Importance of newspaper in present era is reduced many times. Reading a paperback newspaper is the last source of information or interest for a majority of people. Thanks to my friend and a dedicated Naseer Pirzada

Misbah, Arslan, Shahrukh, Sabeeh, and others. Keep up the good work not only for the Miracle but for the Community. I thank everyone who took the time and sent their messages at Miracle’s 22nd Anniversary, including BC Premier David Eby, BC Caucus, MP Sukh Dhaliwal, MLA, and Minister Hon. Harry Bains, MLA, Garry Begg. May Allah (SWT) accept your prayers for our success and may He help us in serving the community... Ameen
