In 2011, Japan experienced unprecedented disaster. Then, nations and peoples of the world gave us lots of heartful help. We would like to express our gratitude to you all. We also wish Japan in return send out hope and joy to all over the world, all the more now. This is the main reason why we reactivated the publication of our magazine from the Spring issue of 2012, as “Salaam Quarterly Bulletin”.
