The core values and philosophy that drive every design decision at MTWS. These principles ensure our digital presence reflects our community's mission and values.
Understanding the foundation of our community guides every design choice we make.
Since 2002, Masjid Tawheed Was-Sunnah has served the Research Triangle Park area as a center for worship, learning, and community building. Our digital presence reflects this commitment to accessibility and inclusivity.
We believe in the power of knowledge to transform lives. Our design system prioritizes clarity, readability, and intuitive navigation to support learning.
How our values translate into concrete design decisions.
Every design element should serve a clear purpose and enhance understanding.
Clear visual hierarchy with icons for quick scanning
Design that works for everyone, regardless of ability or technology.
Respectful representation of Islamic values and multicultural community.
How we communicate through words to build trust and understanding.
Using inclusive language that makes everyone feel at home, regardless of their background or level of Islamic knowledge.
Avoiding jargon and explaining concepts in accessible terms. Information is presented logically and concisely.
Maintaining the reverence appropriate for religious content while remaining approachable and human.
No assumptions about prior knowledge or background. We explain terms and provide context.
While friendly, we maintain respect for the sacred nature of our content and community.
Simple, clear communication is always preferred over unnecessarily complex language.
