Insha’Allah Middle Nation is entering a new phase!
We have now started to develop working groups with a focus on themes such as education, web-site development, regional representation, grassroots activism, corporate democratisation and more, to help inshaAllah widen and deepen Ustadh Shahid’s impact and reach.
Although these are all at an early stage of development, you can expect to hear more about it soon.
If you have skills to offer in any of these areas, please let us know. We are particularly interested in hearing from people living in Muslim majority countries as we are developing briefings on each country and would love to have people based in relevant locations on the team.
As part of this new phase, we are happy to announce we are now starting a book discussion group. The first book we will be studying is the excellent and highly accessible work, “Arabs and Israel for Beginners” by Ron David, which we strongly urge everyone to read!
As a group, we will be reading a part of the book each week over the coming weeks, engaging in a discussion based on our reading. If you would like to participate, please join the new Book Discussion Section on the Telegram group.

In addition to the Book Discussion Group* al hamdullileh we’ve set up two other working groups today:
1) MN Countries: for those interested in the regional representation, including Muslim majority countries (and grassroots activism) part of my earlier message.
Join here https://t.me/+y5LX_NIDCz8wMDM0
2) MN Volunteers: for those interested to otherwise volunteer their time and skills to Middle Nation, whether as part of tech team, helping build a translation team, education, general organisation or other.
Join here: https://t.me/+ew0ORT85k6UyMzk0
NB you can sign up to both, but please respect the different purposes of the groups and join whichever you think appropriate…
