As Dawah2000 Executive Director, his vision is create relationships that will be utilized effectively in securing a healthy productive future. Naim Shah Sr. says ...

 "Fostering unity is the key to improving the standard of Muslim life in America. Faith is a natural immunity from corruption and injustice. Today, we are comprising our faith by not fostering more unity in the community. Unity will improve our relationship with our Creator and each other; So my message is simple, "Work for ...Unity! Work for Unity!"
