Sanad Stories: Sohail Kothari
We wanted to give you a sneak peek into the minds and hearts of those behind the work and why we keep moving forward. We sat down with Sohail Kothari, a tenured bank executive with two decades of experience in the industry and a well-respected community member whose generosity has touched many projects and contributed to their growth and success in South Florida, including Sanad Trust. His testimony is one that continues to drive the difference we aspire for!
- How has the work of Sanad Trust impacted you and what meaning does it have for you?
The work of Sanad Trust has provided me a sense of positive contribution to the community. Sanad Trust has filled a gap that I always felt we had in our community, i.e. lack of full-time school where children will flourish both in Islamic and standard disciplines in a safe and secure environment. I was inspired by the moment I heard about this concept from Sister Attiqa and Ustad Rehan. I also admire Sanad’s vision, leveraging the local accredited school curriculum, allowing students to study and maintain the same level of standard with the rest of the students in Dade and Broward.
- What importance if any do you see of building an endowment for Sanad Trust?
It’s extremely important to fund and grow an endowment to ensure Sanad Trust will carry its vision and mission. Sanad Trust is benefiting our generation and Insha’Allah it will benefit many generations to come. Given the social environment of our local schools, Sanad Trust is the best option for families in our community. There are a number of programs Sanad Trust is embracing to fulfill the need of our youth and families. To build and maintain an educational institution requires a financial backbone and that will be Sanad’s endowment fund.
- Why do you support Sanad Trust?
The question should be why not support Sanad Trust? I am very passionate because the work of Sanad Trust is very noble and the founders are very sincere. I have not seen an institute that can teach and develop our children with such adab, instilling the love of Allah, and His Messenger peace be upon him). Sanad Trust is an institute that is working hard in developing our children into beautiful human beings and true followers of our Prophet peace be upon him) and making all of us so proud.
