Successful Completion of Term II, Alhamdulillah

End of Term II of the Summer Camp.

It all started, as usual with the recitation of Surah and a talk by our head teacher. Then, we had the Qiraat Competion with three partcipants each from As-Sama who recited Surah Ghashiyah, An-Najm who recited Surah , Al-Qamar who recited Surah Fajr and Ash-Shams who recited Surah 3Abasa.

After this, we had a skit under the superb guidance of the teachers and assistants, by our youngest class As-Sama on the Usefulness of Trees. The message was clear! A Muslim takes care of his environment for this earth like everything else is a blessing and gift from his creator Allah Subhan wa Ta3ala and this was clearly elaborated on through the hadeeth.

We had another talk by our head teacher on the topic Wealth and Wife- Fitnah? She discussed how blessings bestowed upon us by Allah can be a test.It was a very useful reminder indeed.

Or concluding program was the Quiz Competition with four teams each comprising of two member each from Al-Qamar and Ash-Shams. This time we started off with the rapidfire round, with Guess the Qaari and General Awareness. This time the points were kept secret till the end of the program. Finally Team 'Umar came out the winners followed by Team 'Ali, then Team AbuBakr and Team Uthman.

The performances were over and goody-bags were distributed but it wasn't the end of the celebration. There was a guest and he arrived right after 'Asr. He gave a very good talk on the Importance of attaining 'Ilm(knowledge). He also stressed how important it was to grab any opportunity to seek knowledge and a good 3 weeks were also not bad for a start or a refresher elaborating how women were at the forefront of scholarship in the early years of Islamic History and how it benefited the Ummah. 

Many thanks again to all the TaalibAl-Ilm ( students of knowledge) and the staff, teachers and assistants for their contribution. JazakumAllahuKhayran. May Allah accept this from us. Ameen.

Our Term I was a success, Alhamdulillah

End of Term I of the Summer Camp.

The childtren  and teachers were present full swing. Parents and family, too. Guests started pouring in  and soon the huge halls with ...seating was full.
We were celebrating the successful completion of the first Term of the Summer Camp at our main branch at Cockburn Road and at BTM layout..
We started with the recitation of Surah from the Qur'an by our head teacher followed by a talk.
The first performances were by the BTM team.
It included all that we had learnt.....
Next we had another talk by our head teacher.
It was time for the Cockburn Road branch now.
We started with the Qirat Competition.
As-Sama kids recited Surah Al A3la.
An-Najm recited Surah Al A3la as well.
Girls from Al-Qamar recited An Naziaat and those from Ash-Shams recited Surah Naba.
The three Ns of Darul Ayman were the judges!

This was followed by the Quiz. We had four teams of 4 participants each.
Team Maryam, Team Fatima, Team Asiyah and Team Khadija. We had 3 rounds. All four teams tied at the end of round 1. Team Asiyah and Khadijah took the lead at the end of the 2nd round but Team Khadija won by 10 points in the end. All the teams were happy to have participated.

.Our skit was the next up in line. Sh., the narrator, Ay. as the ghafil(lost in the things of this world while forgetting the hereafter) Jameela aapa and Am. as Chand khala and ..as Khadeeja begum brought the sad reality of those who have turned their backs to the word of Allah and taken the materials  of this world as their only goal to light by their comic performances supported by Ha.and the other sisters...

The audience was throroughly entertained while gaining knowledge by these programs as well as the not so trivial trivia of our teacher.
 After another talk by her, we concluded by announcing the winners of the Qirat competition and distributing goody bags.


In a nutshell, we are truly grateful to Allah Subhanu wa Ta'aala for making it a success . through the

• Fantastic effort by the teachers- The whole team, together with the assistants and the volunteers. They worked really hard and it showed.
• The enthusiasm and perseverence of the students. The cute As-Sama or preteens of An-Najm, the very young ladies of Al-Qamar or the leaders(Ummis) in the making of Ash Shams put in their very best! The lesson learnt by Jameela begum was learnt by the whole set of the audience.
• The absolutely supportive parents- who spent their time being part of the effort by being there for not just the celebrations but the classes as well!

MIGRATION OF THE HEART TO ALLAH (AZZAWAJAL):

MIGRATION OF THE HEART TO ALLAH (AZZAWAJAL):

By Bint Ahmad

Hijrah to Allah consists of abandoning what HE hates and doing what HE loves and accepts.

Hijrah of the heart is required of a person as long as he breaths.

The heart's hijrah requires migrating "FROM" one state "TO" another. A person migrates with his heart:
FROM Loving other than Allah TO Loving HIM

FROM offering servitude to othe rthan Allah TO Offering it to HIM

FROM fearing other than Allah TO fearin HIM

FROM having hope in other than Allah TO having hope in HIM

FROM relying on other than Allah TO relying on HIM

FROM asking and deploring other than Allah TO asking and deploring HIM

FROM submitting and surrendering to other than Allah TO submitting and surrendering to HIM.

This is precisely the meaning of "FLEEING UNTO ALLAH (AZZAWAJAL), as Allah says:

فَفِرُّواْ إِلَى اللَّهِ
"FLEE THEN UNTO ALLAH........."
SURAH ADH DHARIYAT 51:50

When you set you heart on undertaking this journey of migrating to Allah (Azzawajal), you should take a companinon to befriend along the way.

He who intends to undertake this journey should accompany the "DEAD" WHO IN REALITY ARE ALIVE! Their company will enable him to reach his goal. And he should avoid the company of the living people who are in reality dead ---- they will only disrupt his way.

Nothing is more important to a traveller than associating with the former company and disowning the latter.

One of the SALAF said:

" GREAT INDEED IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THOSE WHO ARE DEAD BUT WHOSE REMEMBRANCE BRINGS LIFE TO THE HEART, AND THOSE WHO ARE ALIVE BUT WHOSE COMPANY CAUSES DEATH TO THE HEART".

Thus nothing is more harmful to a person than his peers and associates. His vision and aspirations are usually limited to imitating them, competing with them, and following their footsteps --- even if they entered a lizard's hole, he would love to enter with them.

You must turn away from the company of the ignorant associates, to the company of those who are absent in person, but whose bounties and good influence continues to exixt in the world.

KHUSHOO

By Bint Ahmad

Last Week we had a class on Khushoo.

The statement of Ibn Al Qayyim regarding Khushoo of Faith And Khushoo of Hypocricy;

“The khushoo‟ of true faith is when the heart feels aware and humble before the greatness and glory of Allah, and is filled with awe, fear and shyness, so that the heart is utterly humbled before Allah and broken, as it were, with fear, shyness, love and the recognition of the blessings of Allah and its own sins. So no doubt the khushoo‟ of the heart is followed by the khushoo‟ of the body. As for the khushoo‟ of hypocrisy, it is something that is put on with a great show, but there is no khushoo‟ in the heart.

One of the Sahaabah used to say,
"I seek refuge with Allah from the khushoo‟ of hypocrisy.”
It was said to him, „What is the khushoo‟ of hypocrisy?‟
He said, “When the body appears to have khushoo‟ but there is no khushoo‟ in the heart.‟
The person who truly feels khushoo‟ before Allah is a person who no long feels the flames of physical desire; his heart is pure and is filled with the light of the greatness of Allah. His own selfish desires have died because of the fear and awe which have filled his heart to overflowing so that his physical faculties have calmed down, his heart has become dignified and feels secure in Allah the remembrance of Him, and tranquillity descends upon him from his Lord. So he has become humble (mukhbit) before Allah, and the one who is humble is the one who is assured. Land that is “mukhbit” is land that is low-lying, in which water settles, so the heart that is “mukhbit” is humble and content, like a low-lying spot of land into which water flows and settles. The sign of this is that a person prostrates to his Lord out of respect and humility, and never raises his head until he meets Him. The arrogant heart, on the other hand, is one that is content with its arrogance and raises itself up like an elevated portion of land in which water never settles. This is the khushoo‟ of true faith.” As for overdoing it, and the khushoo‟ of hypocrisy, this is the attitude of a person who tries to make a great show of khushoo‟, but deep down he is still filled with desires. So on the outside he appears to have khushoo‟, but the snake of the valley and the lion of the forest reside within him, watching for prey.


Ibnul-Qayyim Al-Jawziyyah (rahimahullaah) said:
And mankind, with regard to their performance of prayer are in five levels:
The First: The level of the one who is negligent and wrongs his soul: He is the one who falls short in performing wudhoo (ablution) properly, performing the prayer upon its time and within its specified limits, and in fulfilling its essential pillars.

The Second: The one who guards his prayers upon their proper times and within their specified limits, fulfils their essential pillars and performs his wudhoo with care. However, his striving (in achieving the above) is wasted due whisperings in his prayer so he is taken away by thoughts and ideas.

The Third: The one who guards his prayers within the specified limits, fulfils their essential pillars and strives with himself to repel the whisperings, thoughts and ideas. He is busy struggling against his enemy (Shaytaanor Satan) so that he does not steal from the prayer. On account of this he is engaged in (both) prayer and jihaad.

The Fourth: The one who stands for the prayer, completes and perfects its due rights, its essential pillars, performs it within its specified limits and his heart becomes engrossed in safeguarding its rights and specified limits, so that nothing is wasted from it. His whole concern is directed towards its establishment, its completion and its perfection, as it should be. His heart is immersed in the prayer and in enslavement to his Lord the Exalted.

The Fifth: The one who stands for the prayer like the one mentioned above. However, on top of this, he has taken and placed his heart in front of his Lord Azzawajall, looking towards Him with his heart with anticipation, (his heart) filled with His love and His might, as if he sees and witnesses Allaah. The whisperings, thoughts and ideas have vanished and the coverings which are between him and his Lord are raised. What is between this person and others with respect to the prayer, is superior and greater than what is between the heavens and the earth. This person is busy with his Lord Azzawajall, delighted with Him.

The First type will be punished, the second type will be held to account, the third will have his sins and shortcomings expiated, the fourth will be rewarded and the fifth will be close to his Lord, because he will receive the portion of the one who makes his prayer the delight and pleasure of his eye.

Whoever makes his prayer, the delight and pleasure of his eye, will have the nearness to his Lord Azzawajall made the delight and pleasure of his eye in the hereafter. He will also be made a pleasure to the eye in this world since whoever makes Allaah the pleasure of his eye in this world, every other eye will become delighted and pleased with him.
