Wa ʿAlaykum As Salām Wa Raḥmatullahi Wabarakatu, What I was thinking was what if there was a platform for ʿUlama, Students of Knowledge, and teachers to form small institutes where they can teach the subjects they specialize in and also gain skills as well. Think of it as having a place where many small institutes are in one building, and organizations like universities who accredit some of the courses taught there as well. It would effectively be a bridge to get people who teach into places where they can use their knowledge.
﷽ السَّلاَمُ عَلَيْكُمْ وَرَحْمَةُ اللهِ وَبَرَكَاتُهُ My university will be hosting an event where students should come out with an idea to help and restore the dignity and right of over 10 million refugees . Do you guys have any ideas I can pitch for the event and maybe build upon. I was thinking along the lines of making a social media platform like airbnb where refugees stay in with homeowners for a given time, in which they converse about thier cultural/religious views and sort of build a relationship and underatanding. This is much like students who wish to study abroad (from western countries to the east) they stay at a family house , and basically live with them and converse as to improve thier (foreint language speaking skills) Of course there are many fiqh issues here which need to be taken into consideration that is why I am asking. جزاك الله خيراً here is a quick synopsis: Do you want to make a change in the world?
