Article Submission
At Hadith of the Day (HOTD) we have one of the largest online Muslim communities in the world and our content reaches over 40 million people per week. Our aim is to provide educational and inspirational knowledge, inviting millions around the world towards the path of Islam.
Our mission is to help Muslims and non-Muslims alike to broaden their knowledge, encourage them, and help them rediscover the way of life that Islam is, as guided by the Quran, Hadith and the lives of our Prophets (peace and blessings be upon them) and the Sahabahs (may Allah be pleased with them), while applying these pearls of wisdom in our day to day lives that are immersed in juggling family, health, career, education, relationships, business transactions and other daily pursuits.
If you would like to do something voluntary for the Ummah and contribute in our mission of spreading the beauty of Islam – submit your article(s), share your reflections, ideas, experience on any topic along Islamic principles that will educate, enlighten, encourage, brighten up someone’s day.
