عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ الرَّجُلُ عَلَى دِينِ خَلِيلِهِ فَلْيَنْظُرْ أَحَدُكُمْ مَنْ يُخَالِلُ
بِسْمِ اللهِ الرَّحْمٰنِ الرَّحِيْمِ

Sunday School is pleased to announce it's first ever Parent Support Group (PSG) of the 2023-24 School year led by Sr Samina Anwar and our amazing team of parent volunteers. They have lined up several activities for rest of the year in sha Allah, starting with the "Welcome Ramadan Party" following Sunday, March 10th, 2024 for our students during Sunday School hours. Look for more information in the flyer included in the Newsletter below.
MORNING ASSEMBLY: On Sunday (2/25), our morning assembly was led by myself on the topic of "Tilting out Scales with Good manners". We discussed the saying of Prophet SAW that the most perfect man in his faith among the believers is the one whose behavior is most excellent.” Rasulullah (S) is the best example of the best Akhlaq and Morality. He treated the elderly with respect, the young with kindness. He never used harsh or disheartening words, and his manners were those of the Quran. He encouraged us to have the same high morals and good Akhlaq. Rasulullah (S) told us that the rewards of having good Akhlaq are many! One of them is that we will be of the closest to the Prophet (S) on the Day of Judgment. In addition, we get so many good deeds for treating others with good manners See informational FLYER attached here for your reference.
