My dear brothers and sisters Imaan is the most precious thing in our life.  Imaan is our life and our honour. Without imaan, there is nothing but a fabricated speculation of what this life and all that is in it is all about.  It was profound faith in Allah swt that turned most ignorant people of that era in the masters of the world in a few years and also raised them to become the torch bearers of human civilization.

Its high time my dear brothers and sisters to revive our Imaan.

Please welcome Sister Zehak to speak on the topic “LET’S REVIVE OUR  IMAAN” with a good round of applause.

He aspires to be an astronaut so that he can explore the universe of Allah to enhance his faith in Him. His hobbies are playing football and listening to Islamic nasheeds.

Quran has been revealed as a last guidance from our lord. It is the everlasting miracle. No pen is capable of describing the excellence and magnificence of the Glorious Quran. To describe the greatness of Quran the Prophet Mohammad would say, “The superiority of the speech of God over other speeches is like the superiority of God over His creatures... Subhaan Allah…

Allah says in Surah  Hashr, Chapter 59, Verse=21.

____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

“Had we sent down this Quran on a mountain you would surely have seen it humbling itself and rent asunder by the fear of Allah.”.

So let’s welcome brother Abdul Moeed, to speak on the topic “Greatness of the Quran”.

 

4.  Our next English speaker is 10 years old Zuha Mehraj, of Standard 5^th A.

Sister Zuha was born on 19^th Jan 2004. She is very aspiring about learning new things and is fond of writing short stories. Her hobbies include reading Islamic Literature and listening to Islamic Nasheeds.  She aspires to be a dedicated teacher and Islamic Daa’I’yah.  She is very kind hearted and amiable child.

Human rights are highly honoured in Islam . Doing justice in favourable and neutral atmosphere is commendable. But Justice is commanded by Allah (swt) even to people who hate you or to whom we have a rancor.

Allah says in surah Maidah, chapter 5, verse 8.

______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

“O you who have believed, be persistently standing firm for Allah, witnesses in justice, and do not let the hatred of a people prevent you from being just. Be just, that is nearer to piety. And fear Allah; Indeed, Allah is acquainted with what you do.”

Lets welcome Sister Zuha, to speak on the topic “Human Rights in Islam”.

 

5. Jazakillah Sister Zuha for your thought provoking talk.

 Which religion, which scripture considers killing of life is like killing entire nation? Human life is so sacred in Islam.

Allah Says in Surah Maida, chapter 5, verse 32.

“If anyone kills a person unless it be for murder, or spreading corruption in the land. It would be as if he has killed the entire mankind. And if anyone saves life, it would be as if he has saved entire mankind. 

Born on  19^th Novermber 2003, Sister Hurmat is 10 year old confident child of class 5^th.  Listening Islamic Lectures, reading books and skipping are her hobbies. She wants to take up teaching and Daawah as her carrier.  She is a jovial and an amicable child, which made her adored amongst her teachers and friends.

Anger is stupidity, and stupidity will kill you more surely than your opponent’s blade. The person who can control himself when angry, and prevent himself from doing harm to others or oppressing them or punishing them, has a will of iron and is of exalted character.

I call upon Sister Hurmat to conclude our 2^nd session, who will be speaking on the topic “Hazards of Anger”.                                                                            

Please welcome Sister Hurmat.

1.      Our last English Speaker of the day is 10 years old child Rohaan Showkat of Standard 4^th B. Brother Rohan was born on 24^th July 2004.

His father is his mentor for his personality development. He is very passionate for memorizing Ahadith of Prophet (saw).

The two fundamental sources of Islam are the Quran (the word of Allah) and the Sunnah (the tradition of Prophet). We are supposed to revere and follow the ahadith of Prophet as we have to revere and follow the Quran, the word of God.

We have been  ordained in Quran, in surah Hashr, Chapter 59, verse no. 7.

Hijrah of Prophet to Madinah proved a turning point of Islamic Dawah and its Revolutionary processes. Prophet Mohammad and his companion suffered a lot of persecutions from the foes of Islam. This Deen is present here because of umpteen numbers of sacrifices of Prophet Mohammad and his followers.
