What are your current needs?
As we are aiming to develop great human beings, we need great supporters and patrons. We need our Abu Talib(s), Abu Bakr(s) and Khadijah(s) to step forward and stand by our side long-term, just as the actual Abu Talib, Abu Bakr and Khadijah (and others) did in their lifetimes (may God be pleased with them all).
We have been working tirelessly for three years on Sanad Prep, and in fact its probably been more like 5 years if the dreaming, brainstorming and research is included. We’re now at the precipice of determining how much longer Sanad Trust can work toward its goals, including Sanad Prep, as a full-time endeavor. I honestly believe we will know within the next 1 month if Sanad Trust will continue for the next generation.
Currently we are looking to: (1) establish a substantial endowment to facilitate the study of Sacred Knowledge and to give us long-term stability, (2) locate a feasible and logistically viable new home for Sanad in South Florida, and (3) have an enrollment of 20 students for the 2014-15 academic year. If these thresholds are met, we feel confident moving forward. If not, we accept that in the end–always–Allah is the Best of Planners.
