As-salaamu 'alaykum wa rahmatullaahi wa barakaatuh.

You may have noticed the new tag at the beginning of the subject line
of this message, or you may have received an automatic notice from
yahoo informing you of our name change from MAKKAHnet to BAKKAHnet.
This is in preparation for our big move!

We are working hard to get http://www.bakkah.net launched and into
your house as soon as possible. We hope to finish this work in about
one week's time, in shaa' Allaah. May Allaah reward you for your
patience throughout our move.

As you know, we originally planned on simply allowing MAKKAHnet's
time on HOMESTEAD.COM to run out, and thus let it slip off the web.

But due to the overwhelming concern expressed by a great number of
our friends and visitors, we were forced to reconsider. Other
webmasters offered to put up our articles on their websites, some
offered to maintain the site for us, and one even offered to sponsor
for us our own domain name and server, ALHAMDU LILLAAH!

Upon taking his offer, our brother whom we love for Allaah's Sake
then extended this generosity by giving us loads of software to use,
individual lessons in its use, and further technical support down the
line. May Allaah reward him generously.

For verily, bakkah.net would not exist without this brother's
intervention, after Allaah's Permission. I ask that you make du'aa'
to Allaah for him to be gathered amongst the prophets, martyrs, and
righteous on the Day of Judgement and that he have a place in Al-
Firdows.

So to make a long story short, MAKKAHnet is now BAKKAHnet. We will
announce the opening of the new site in the coming days in shaa'
Allaah. For now you can preview our new logo at the BAKKAHnet
Information Center:

We ask Allaah to assist us and facilitate bakkah.net for the benefit
of the Muslims. May He grant us sincerity and guide us to what He
loves most.

we finish the work on the new site)
