Theme of the Year
Faith and Action | Iman wa A’maal | إيمان وأعمال
For the 2024-2025 academic year, our theme is "Imaan wa A'maal," or Faith and Action. In Islam, faith is not just a passive state of being; it is actively demonstrated through good deeds, kindness, and service to others. By focusing on both faith and action, we strive to embody the teachings of Islam in every aspect of our lives, seeking to positively impact our community and strengthen our connection to Allah.
Surat Al-Baqara, Ayah 82:
{ وَالَّذِينَ آمَنُوا وَعَمِلُوا الصَّالِحَاتِ أُولَٰئِكَ أَصْحَابُ الْجَنَّةِۚ هُمْ فِيهَا خَالِدُونَ }
“And those who believe and do good will be the residents of Paradise. They will be there forever.”
This verse beautifully encapsulates the essence of our theme, reminding us that true belief is reflected in righteous actions, and it is through this harmonious balance that we attain the ultimate reward in the Hereafter.
