Dear parents,
1- introduction
With the above Dua from the above Ayah from Surah Al Baqarah we start. Asking Allah SWT to increase our knowledge of this beautiful universal faith for us as a community, parents, and our children.
Allah, SWT, who blessed us with so many blessings, among them is our community. Where we, individually and collectively, worship and remind ourselves how to live our best lives and aim for the best in the hereafter, insha Allah.
To thank Allah, SWT, that He provided us with a school where we keep the word of Allah, SWT, and the teachings of prophet Mohamed (S) alive and vibrant, not only in ourselves, but also in the next generations.
2- Mission Statement
•Allah, SWT, is the Lord of the creation, where all humans are honored and equal.
