Ramadan #MuslimUnity Campaign
NOTE: Campaign moved to https://www.abdomagdy.com/unity This page isn’t updated anymore.
Asalamo Alikum Everyone,
Some of you already know that I presented a plan to go through the topic of unity between Muslims from a while and didn’t continue for personal reasons (Link: https://www.abdomagdy.com/2009/05/lessons-in-unity-outlines/ ). Also, some of you know that I started MarwaElSherbiny.com and didn’t continue for similar reasons. Plus, frankly, I got no response from nearly everyone I contacted and wasn’t possible to handle everything myself (Link: https://www.abdomagdy.com/2009/07/preparing-for-marwa-el-sherbiny-com/ ).
Thinking about Ramadan this year and chatting with some friends about the topic, I thought about having a business-free Ramadan, that means that I’m going to suspend my business activities during Ramadan and will launch a campaign instead during the whole month that will cover both topics unity and Marwa El-Sherbiny in a one campaign mainly on Twitter and of course using other social media tools.
I didn’t make an effective use of my YouTube channel so far as I didn’t have the time, but during Ramadan; I’m going to get involved more with the Muslim community there and going to finish the unity series I planned to finish, Insha’ Allah.
This is just to let you know that, I’m going through a #muslimunity campaign via Twitter and I already started inviting people, people already involved are:
@MarwaElSherbiny, @HichamMG, @slashnews, @skinny_legs, @rockinrose, @egGooner, @ReemAlashry, @habzm, @AyubiSalahin, @IslamicInsights, @abdo_me, @DeveloperMan, @EgyptDesigners, @Egypreneur, @aladham, @Helwaan, @SineMuslim, @rildenia, @ibrahimsuheyl, @786Khadija2, @reeem, @MhdBadi, @Sunset87, @AyubiSalahin, @LoveHopeFear, @yazzie_me, @reihab, @DrDheenaSadik, @Amir_HealthGuru, @HijabiApprentic, @rinimaru, @skyhakim, @shukr
The campaign is going to be led anonymously through @MarwaElSherbiny Twitter account and will be centered by MarwaElSherbiny.com, the gesture is that Marwa El-Sherbiny who died for her Hijab and persistence to defend her rights is leading Muslims to unity during Ramadan.
The goal of the campaign is to bring the HashTag #MuslimUnity to the top of the HashTags of the month of Ramadan. HashTags is the term used on Twitter.com for campaigns. Check the last month’s top tags: http://hashtags.org/trends/month We want #MuslimUnity on the top during Ramadan! Can we?? Why not?? Why is that important? will reply to that ASAP.
More information about Twitter HashTag campaigns could be found here: http://twitter.pbworks.com/Hashtags Details to be out soon Insha’ Allah.
Outcome from the campaign:
- Self confidence in Muslim Unity especially the young ages who’s involved in social media
- Extreme PR effect by grabbing the world of New Media to read #MuslimUnity at the top of Twitter HashTag
- Networking the cause of Marwa El-Sherbiny and communicating ideas about Hijab and Muslims in the west
What to practically do??? assuming that you’re already using Twitter, if not, easily crate a Twitter account (Video tutorials illustrating everything to be released soon).
- Follow @MarwaElSherbiny on Twitter
- Follow @HashTags on Twitter (VERY IMPORTANT) for the tags to be picked by the engine!
- Add #MuslimUnity in some of your Tweets during Ramadan (ones that encourage unity between Muslims).
- Follow all the participants in the campaign on Twitter (URLs above)
- RT any content that’s encouraging unity between Muslims (specific tweets will be available here soon Insha’ Allah)
- Search for latest uses of the HashTag from Here (Link: http://twitter.com/#search?q=%23MuslimUnity )
- Tell everyone you know about the campaign and engage with the campaign with your full power
Tawakalto Alaa Allah.
UPDATE: content will be moved from here to MarwaElSherbiny.com as the campaign get to a more solid state and I find sometime too!!

Interesting idea, Abdelrahman for using this hashtag. I already started using it over my tweets about “Ramadan” over twitter although I might be away from online activity in the upcoming period.
p.s. I am also glad that we met before over AmrKhaled’s 🙂 We are living in a small world either the real or virtual so you keep up on the good work. Ramadan Kareem 😀
