Sanad Prep Morning Lights Assemblies are done every morning at Sanad Prep. They serve as a reminder for students and staff. In this SPML assembly we discuss just how big jummah actually is. It is in fact an opportunity to remember we are all connected, its a small (big) world after all.

Of the few words to describe the da’wah given by the scholar Habib Ubaydullah al Attas, the most prominent word would be ‘enlightening’. The talk was interactive, with the Sanad Prep students answering and asking questions about their Islamic studies, and their Quran memorization. The most interesting section of the talk was when Habib Ubaydullah al Attas spoke of the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him), and his hadith, and the way he lived his life. It was a very beautiful experience, listening to the scholar speak of the Prophet (peace be upon him), and of the examples and importance of ‘Adab’, or manners. The scholar comes from Mecca, and the mood throughout the whole visit was very comfortable. Habib Ubaydullah al Attas told us that although he was a known scholar and hafiz, he did not gain that knowledge for his title. He told us that he learned that knowledge for Allah.

It is a busy world we live in, but the parents who are too busy for their children are busier than Allah intended them to be. To help you navigate through these chaotic times, here are a few simple, yet effective habits to adopt that will lead you to have a better relationship with your children.
The relationship between parents and children is extremely valuable. It is a blessing, unlike any other blessing granted to us by Allah. May Allah make the process of parenting easy and successful for all the Sanad parents. (Ameen)

So, I thought I would have a very different conversation with the Sanad Prep SOKs on their way up to the MIST 2016 competition this past Friday. They were struggling to raise funds for the film equipment needed to create the short film submission. They were struggling because of their lack of social media involvement, which I thought was a good thing. I decided to write a short note on their behalf late Thurs, the day before their trip and a couple days before the fundraising campaign was to end. By mid morning, on Jummah the next day we they had the funds! Masha’Allah. I myself don’t really understand how this social media thing works too well. But, through my work with Sanad Trust Foundation I have seen the generosity of the human spirit. And I have seen (and experienced) how that generosity lifts the human spirit. Allah is aware of our anxieties and concerns. Sometimes He sends generous souls to the rescue. Thank you to all who gave, shared, and prayed for this small need. We ask that you continue to do so for the humble efforts of Sanad Trust Foundation and Sanad Prep, to change the world for the better…one SOK (student of knowledge) at a time. I pray Allah reward you all for your good.
I shared news of the successful fundraising just before jummah prayers in the masjid. Above is a pic of the smiles you helped create…
Your brother, their ustadh,
rehan

At Sanad Prep when we plan a field trip, our objective is to ensure that our students not enjoy themselves, but also remain students of knowledge while they make an effort to connect to their creator by observing His creation. This week Sanad Prep students took a trip to Gumbo Limbo Nature Center which is a facility that increases public awareness of coastal and marine ecosystems. Before we left for the field trip, we instructed our students to be on their best behavior. We reminded them that the best form of dawah is through their actions and so, it is important that they are polite to the people at the nature center and they thank them for their service before leaving. Ustadh Rehan also advised students to give due respect to each creature of Allah that they observe at the facility. We had also asked them to discover one thing that reminds them of Allah.
At the end of the day, the students shared their discoveries and we were fascinated by their ability to connect things at a much deeper level. One of the students gave an example of how Lion Fish were not meant to be in Florida’s ecosystem and now it has become a major issue since the lion fish reproduces rapidly and is a threat to many of the fish that protect Florida’s coral reef. He connected this example to how Allah has created everything in a perfect balance and if humans attempt to disrupt that balance, they only end up harming themselves. We hope to continue to provide similar learning experiences for all of our students in the future. If you get a chance, please do ask your child about his or her experiences in the world around them. We are sure, you will learn many new facts and be fascinated as well.

Our Prophet (may Allah bless him, and may He grant him peace) was a paragon of excellence, the exemplification of virtue and he is the guide to all that is good and beneficial for us in this life. He said, “When a person passes on from this life, his deeds are cut off except for that which benefit from of three things: a continuous charity, teaching knowledge that continues to benefit people and a righteous child that prays to Allah for him.”
