Surah Al-Baqarah

Our Lord! Send among them a messenger, one of them, who shall recite to them Your signs,
teach them the Book and wisdom, and purify them. You are the Mighty, the Wise.

1. Introduction

Dear Parents,

With the above du’a from Surah Al-Baqarah, we begin—asking Allah (SWT) to increase our knowledge
of this beautiful, universal faith for ourselves as a community, as parents, and for our children.

Allah (SWT), who has blessed us with so many blessings—among them our community—allows us to worship,
reflect, and strive to live our best lives while aiming for the Hereafter, insha’Allah.

We thank Allah (SWT) for providing us with a school where we keep the words of Allah (SWT) and the
teachings of Prophet Muhammad (ﷺ) alive and vibrant—not only within ourselves, but for future generations.
