Ramadan Special: Invitation for Guest posts
Some of you might know that I have been blogging for almost 2 years. During the last 2 years I was able to pull a handsome number of visitors though there was no such intention because I never blogged for getting more traffic or Adwords, this is why readership has been between 50-300/day. If I had to gain more and more traffic then I had an easy way out that is, start making posts against Islam or posts to make fun of Islam.
One of the best advantage of blogging is that you get in touch of your like minded people who sometimes like your work while other time they criticize. While criticism is part of healty discussion and progress, I have been lucky that fortunately I came acorss some very good people who are now like my friends and brother/sister like. They often give me advise on and off site and I always love it. Some of constant readers are so good in their own field and blogging then it always make me surprise what attracts them here.
I never claimed I run a Super Hit blog neither I have any such wish to earn fame in this particular field. All I know I blog because I want and I can close it or remove it whenever I want therefore you wouldn’t find any such efforts by me to advertise my blog for sake of gaining traffic.
As I said, blogging gave me some very good friends. Some of them are already well-known due to their blogging. Sometimes I wish I start a feature of guest blogging and request some good bloggers to share their thought on my blog as well. They are too good in their own professional field as well as about politics and religion which I discuss most of the time on my blog.
Some of my friends gave me honor when they said they want to participate as well but neither I approached seriously nor my friends.
On the occasion of Ramadan, I am willing that my friends who have been readers of my blog as well other respectable visitors/commenters to use my platform to share their own thoughts about their perception about Ramadan or Islam.
So, why did I decide to do this? AS I said ,not for gaining traffic. I have few very basic and genuine reasons. 1) Some of them maintain their own blog which is based on particular theme like technology or cricket while some of them tried to maintain blogging in Urdu
Since I am often in touch with them via emails, I always asked them or I say got mad at them that why the hell they never tried to write about Islam while they know more about religion than me? What keeps them away? Look, when professionals will not come forward then psuedo intellectuals like me would keep struggling to do something which sometimes lead to some disaster. I have some good friends in Islam and Mashallah they have such an awesome knowledge about Islam that I wonder why they keep it inside. I asked them and they also has a typical answer, I am busy, yaar we all re busy someway or other but it shouldn’t be an excuse to keep things inside which were not even kept inside by Allah and He revealed in the form of Universe, then Prophets and then QUran and Islam. When The creator was not hesitant then why do you people shy away and waste your energy and time on other matters only? So, like anyone looks towards his friends first, I also see towards them and can just hope that they would take my call serious and try to say something on my blog Fi Sabilillah. I can understand that maintaing a seperate blog is not an easy task if you are going to target serious audiance otheriwse I have seen lame blogs in which people discuss what they did in the whole day as if other cares? Atleast I don’t like such blogs.
So my blog is now open for all such people who wants to say something but don’t have much time to maintain a blog. It’s also for those who are hesitant to say something due to their writing power. When I can write in borken language then why not you?
What is Ramdan Special?
Anything about Ramadan rather only typical lectures which you can find everywhere on Internet. You can share:
- What is Ramadan for you and how does it make difference for you(if it does)
- Any Islamic lecture from your favorite scholars in Audio,video or text format. For instance I like Tariq Jamil Sb(Db) so I often upload his Mp3s. If you like someone else then do share it.
- Some good Iftar recipie?
- Anything which you want to share about Islam or Ramadan or even your experience about both.
These were few things which were in my mind. Offcourse you can share variety of things. I would also encourage silent readers to come forward and say something. I would try my best to publish as much as I can. You can write in English,Sindhi,Urdu, Punjabi, whatever suits you.
In order to contact me, mail me at kadnan(at)gmail(dot)com. Send me your stuff here with your name and title of the post.
I will also be making Ramadan related posts . Last year I made few posts on same subject and Inshallah I will edit them and add under the category of Ramadan for easy search.
I definately want some fresh blood (as they say in Cricket :D)
