DeenPort, www.deenport.com, created by Omar Tufail, a self-taught Glasgow-based web designer, now receives more than 20,000 hits a month and is fast becoming the place for the exchange of views for intelligent young British Muslims. Tired of static web pages, DeenPort is designed for dynamism - interactive, newsy and hugely addictive.

Logon and you will access lessons by the shuyukh; new poetry by Abdal Hayy Moore; bookviews; interviews; and an MP3 section that has the best rocking beats this side of anywhere. Celebrating its first anniversary on 1 March, DeenPort also showcases contemporary visual art and publishes travelogues. But it is the message forum, with over 400 registered members, that keeps the place hopping.

Also, Masud Khan’s legendary website www.masud.co.uk has been invited to participate in a major British Library archive initiative. The Library said, “We have judged this web site to be an important part of our documentary heritage and would like it to remain available to researchers in the future.” Congratulations Masud!
