Dear Brothers, Sisters and Children,
Assalamoaleikum. Mahe ramadan is coming to a close now. But there are people and those who are really pious would feel like it should not be closed rather it should be opened for over the rest of the months of the year. However, Ramadan is something which purifies one’s heart and brings people closer to Allah rabbul alamin. We would ask Allah so that we could keep the spirit of the Ramadan through the rest of months of the year.
It is really encouraging that Alif among all children got the second position rehearsing sura mulk [first 12 verses] in the group of[ year 8 – year 12] students in the Koran recitation competition at Armadale mosque from our community. He received $200.00 as the second prize, this would really encourage and create enthuathism among other children to come forward and take part in the competitions. If Allah wishes we have also a plan to arrange such competition in our community over the next Ramadan. There will be three groups, the first group will comprise of up to year 4 students, second group [ year 5 – year 7], they will recite suras Lahab and sura Maun respectively. We would invite some essays [100 words] on the life of Harat Muhammad[s:] for the third group [year 8 – year12]. There would be judges and scholars who would decide first, second and third positions in the competition. We would discuss in this regard further nearing the next Ramadan inshallah.
Children who participated in the Koran recitation in this year include: Naail, Safwan, ariya ,shmim, sakib, atif, suhi, ramin al ahsan, orion, makhdum, talha, mysha, samara, Mehran, maisara.
We would like to extend our hearty thanks to all children who participated and also who have not participated in the childrens program.We are also thankful to the guardians who without their cooperation it would have not been possible to conduct such a program. As the competition is going to take place next year children will get ample opportunities to take preparation and fully equip themselves for the competition. Cash money will be awarded to first , second and third positions, others also will get some prizes.
Vasalamo aleikum va rahmatollaheh va barakato,
Nazmul Ahsan
