ASK A SCHOLAR

Standwithdignity is an organization that aims to educate and spread the message of Prophet Mohammed and peaceful message of Islam.

 Hussain the grandson of the Holy Prophet Muhammad and his third successor is either a very well-known personality to those who are aware of his cause or remains to be an unknown figure to others. We wish to enlighten the masses not only on the personality but life and mission of a man that stood for social justice. Thus, we have made available notable Muslim Scholars to answer any questions about Islam and Imam Hussain.
