From the Foundation

A message of gratitude

After the 2nd Graduation, the foundation shared a heartfelt message of thanks — in Arabic and English.

كلمة شكر واحتفاء

الحمد لله، الحمد لله، الحمد لله!
نحمد الله سبحانه وتعالى ونشكره أن منَّ علينا بفضله وكرمه، ومنحنا الفرصة للاحتفاء والاحتفال بالدفعة الثانية من طلابنا الذين أتمّوا بنجاح رحلتهم المباركة في حفظ كتاب الله تعالى.

إنها نعمة عظيمة تستحق الحمد والشكر، ونسأل الله سبحانه وتعالى أن يثبّت القرآن في صدورهم، ويحفظ لهم حفظهم، وينفعهم بما حفظوا، ويعينهم على العمل بكتاب الله، وأن يجعل القرآن نورًا وهدايةً لهم، ورفعةً لهم في الدنيا والآخرة. اللهم تقبّل منهم، وبارك في جهودهم، واجزِ آباءهم وأمهاتهم ومعلميهم خير الجزاء، واجعلهم من أهل القرآن وخاصته. آمين. 🤲🏽📖
In English: "Alhamdulillah, Alhamdulillah, Alhamdulillah! We praise and thank Allah for granting us the opportunity to celebrate our second batch of students who have successfully completed their noble journey of memorizing the Book of Allah. … May Allah accept their efforts, reward their parents and teachers abundantly, and make them among the people of the Qur'an. Āmīn."
