مَدْرَسَةُ هُدَى النُّور

لِتَعْلِيمِ اللُّغَة الْعَرَبِيَّة وَعُلُومِ الدِّين

Welcome Shahru Ramaḏān!

There are no better words to welcome the holy month of Ramaḏān than these verses by the honourable Sheikh ʻAbd al-Laṯīf Ibrāhīm (May Allāh’s mercy and blessings be upon him):

أَهْلاً بِشَـــهْرٍ عَلَى كُلِّ الشُّـــهُورِ عَلا

أَهْلاً بِشَـــــهْرٍ بِـــهِ الْقُرْآنُ قَـــدْ نَـزَلَا

Welcome [Shahru Ramaḏān]!—the month which is favoured over all the other months.
Welcome [Shahru Ramaḏān]!—the month in which Qurʼān was revealed (sent down).

أَهْلاً بِشَـــــهْرٍ كَرِيمٍ فَــازَ شَــــــاهِـدُهُ

إِنْ صَـــــــامَــهُ طَـــائِعًــا لِلهِ مُبْتَـهِلا

Welcome [Shahru Ramaḏān]!—the holy month that whoever sights [the crescent of] it, surely wins if he fasts and implores in obedience to God.

أَهْلاً بِشَـــهْرٍ صِـــيَامُ الْمُسْـــلِمِينَ بِهِ

فَرْضٌ مِنَ اللهِ لا يَـرْضَـــــى بِـهِ بَـدَلا

Welcome [Shahru Ramaḏān]!—the month in which fasting is a duty for Muslims, which God won’t accept ignoring it.

يَــا أَيُّـهَــا النَّـــاسُ إِنَّ اللهَ يَــأْمُرُكُـمْ

بِالصَّــــوْمِ فَابْتَدِرُوا الطَّاعَاتِ وَالْعَمَلَا

O people, Allāh commands you to fast; so take action in obedience and good work.

صُــــومُوا عَلَـى نِيَّـةٍ لِلهِ خَــالِصَـــــةٍ

مِنَ الرِّيَـاءِ تَنَــالُوا السُّــــؤْلَ وَالأَمَـلَا

Fast for God’s sake, with an intention that is purified from insincerity, to get all what you ask and wish.

صُومُوا تَصِحُّوا كَمَا قَالَ الرَّسُولُ لَكُمْ

إِنَّ الصِّــــيَـامَ دَوَاءٌ كَمْ شَـــــفَى عِلَلا

If you fast, you will be healthy; as the messenger of Allāh said to you.
Fasting is a remedy; how many ailments it has cured!

How great fasting is! and how great it would be to deliver these values to the future generations not only by teaching, but also by taking action and practicing in the school!

At our school, we are committed to provide the suitable atmosphere for our students to practice the essential worship activities like prayers and fasting, and we save no effort to sincerely convey all our valuable true Islamic heritage from our forefathers to our dear children. In this regard, please refer to the commandment of the honourable Sheikh Maẖmūd Murhij (Rest in peace). And to see how we are translating these thoughts into action, check our albums about Ramaḏān and Eid activities throughout the previous years. Furthermore, you can keep up with our latest events and activities by following us on our social media—and please, don’t hesitate to supply us with your comments and feedback.
