International Peace (Dawah) Mission

Muslim Voice for Peace & Reconciliation (MVPR) proposes a Dawah (Peace) mission of 3 young adults, the trip will be from 28th June till September 4th. We will begin on the East Coast of the United States, 28 June to 17 July, 2017. After that we will be going to Cuba until the 22nd of July. After Cuba we will split into 2 teams, one will continue to the USA/Canada then to Thailand. The other team will go to Slovakia/Austria. We will meet again in South Africa on the 7th of August then we will go to South Korea for a peace conference.  The purpose of this trip is to demonstrate and explain to the non-Muslim public the true, peaceful nature of Islam and the mercy of our Prophet Mohammad (pbuh). Qurans and other Islamic materials will be distributed. This is a collaborative effort with Al-Furqaan Foundation, Amana Organization, ISNA, ICNA, MAS, CAIR, Bridges to Common ground and other nonprofit organizations.
Check out our website at www.MVPR.org


Our 3 inspirations are: 

1- Quran 41:33: "And who is better in speech than one who invites to God"

2- The prophet Muhammad said "anyone who calls others to guidance will receive a reward equal to that of the person who followed him, without their reward being diminished" (Al-Bukhari and Muslim).

3- The Prophet said that "to cause another person's guidance to Islam is better than having a great amount of wealth" (Al-Bukhari).

What makes us unique? Among the many things that make us unique are…

1.Experience 

Alhamdullah, we have great experience in the Dawah and peacemaking fields. We incorporated this NGO (Nonprofit organization) a few years ago. We have spread the message to many men, women and children. Alhamdullah, many have come to Islam.

2.Motivation

Because of the 3 listed inspirations, we are really motivated to spread the true message. We have dedicated our whole lives to this task. This is more important to us than anything else, alhamdullah.

3.Background and Connections

The founder of MVPR is an American citizen, Samuel Earle Shropshire (picture above wearing the suit). He is 69 years old, a former pastor. He has an equivalent of a PhD degree in theology. He has spent his entire life working for nonprofit causes. He has worked in the fields of human rights and peacemaking, lobbying the American, Canadian, British governments and the United Nations for 35 years. He has connections with many pastors, priests, monks, congressmen, members of parliament and other government leaders.  

My name is Isa Alhaj Hussein. (In the picture below speaking with the lady about Islam.) I'm MVPR's general manager. I'm a professionally trained daieya (preacher) assisting in MVPR's peace outreach programs. I'm completing a degree in Business Administration.

Our third team member is Mahmoud Alagha. He is a professional videographer/photographer, and he will be documenting our peace mission in film and photography. This material will be placed on the MVPR website to give our donors the complete accounting of our time and use of their contributions.


We appeal to our Muslim brothers and sisters for support to bring our peace mission (Dawah) team worldwide. Without your generous contributions we will not be able to make this two-month trip. Your participation in this project will be greatly rewarded by Allah.

Our peace mission team will arrive in Chicago, Illinois, where we participate in the annual Islamic Society of North America (ISNA) convention. There will be other speaking opportunities, interacting with convention attendees.
Three MVPR booths will be maintained in the convention. Already other meetings are being organized in churches, synagogues, mosques, in the US Congress, in prisons, business groups, universities and in other public forums in Illinois, Washington (DC), Maryland, Virginia, North Caroline, Tennessee, Georgia, Florida, California, Cuba, Canada, Thailand, Slovakia, and South Africa. 

Funding will go towards airfare, ground transportation, convention fees, meals, for Qurans and Islamic materials, and lodging. For a detailed copy of our Itinerary and budget please email us at isa@mvpr.org. 

MVPR has successfully conducted peace (Dawah) missions in the US during 2016. Also, successful missions have been conducted to the UK, Slovakia, South Africa, Myanmar, and Bangladesh.


We need all kinds of help, and most importantly your prayers for our trip to be successful. If anyone can coordinate meetings for us in any of the locations listed above, please let us know. Also If you would like to organize a home meeting for our group, we would be grateful to meet your friends and family. Please contact us at isa@mvpr.org.
