The Ark Project is an idea looking to address the needs of the current Ummah which is in desperate need of solutions to many complex problems. The solutions to these problems require collaboration at a grand scale. The Ark Project is meant to establish an online community for Muslims who are scattered worldwide in order to help them come together and brainstorm ideas. The founders of The Ark Project strongly believe that we need to find out-of-the-box solutions for the problems we face currently in order to stand a chance against the rising currents of ideas and values which threaten to erase our identity.
We live in a world where Islam and Muslims are relegated to being a footnote in most global conversations and forums. Despite having made vital contributions to humanity at large in the past, Islam and Muslims are now largely frowned upon due to global misrepresentation of their belief system. Not only that, Muslim identity and culture worldwide is under threat due to constant bombardment of images, propaganda, news, media and other means which propagate Western values and beliefs which in some ways are diametrically opposed to Islamic teachings.
A lot of this stems from the fact that the Muslim communities are lacking platforms of their own from which to further their narrative. There are also grassroot issues such as poverty, lack of education and basic needs that these communities globally are grappling with - issues that take priority over all else. And understandably so. However, while communities at large are tied up tackling the imminent issues, we are losing ground and more importantly, our youth to the pressures of society which is forcing them to abandon their beliefs merely to fit in.
