*Assalamu Alaikum wa Rahmatullahi wa Barakatuh,*

With a mix of gratitude and sadness, we gathered on Friday to bid farewell to our beloved Ustaz(Corper), who, in just a year, left a lasting impact on our school community. Though his time with us was brief, he was more than just a teacher—he was a mentor, a guide, and an inspiration to both students and teachers. His patience, wisdom, and deep dedication to teaching touched our hearts in ways that words cannot fully capture.

In this short period, He shared invaluable knowledge and instilled values that will continue to shape our lives. For the students, he was a source of encouragement, teaching us to value honesty, humility, and excellence. For the teachers, he exemplified what it means to lead by example, to be patient, and to teach with sincerity and compassion. He reminded us all of the importance of continuous learning and showed us that every moment can be an opportunity for growth.

It was evident how much he meant to us, as many teachers and students found it hard to hold back their tears during his farewell.

His lessons in the Qur’an, his gentle reminders about good character, and his constant encouragement to strive for excellence have all left a lasting mark. Ustaz planted seeds of knowledge and faith, and, insha’Allah, they will continue to flourish in all of us.

Thank you Corper Umar, for your unwavering dedication, for the wisdom you shared, and for the kindness you showed in such a short time. May Allah reward you immensely for your efforts, grant you success in all your future endeavors, and bless you with happiness, health, and peace. You will always have a special place in our hearts and in our du'as.

*Jazakum Allahu Khairan,* and farewell, dear Ustaz.

Things to do to navigate through school

Dear fellow students, today I have come to share some advice to help you navigate your journey

1. Embrace challenges: don’t be afraid to take risk and step out of your comfort zone. You will grow more from failures than success.

2. Build meaningful relationships: nurture friendships, respect teachers and engage with peers.

3. Stay organized: manage your time wisely and seek help when needed. You need to balance academics and extracurriculars.

4. Learn from mistakes.

5. Seek guidance: ask questions,consult teachers and do research more.

6. Stay focused: set goals,create plans and stay committed. Your hard work will pay off.

Note: Secondary schools is a journey,not a destination. Make the most of it.

Mu’adh ibn Jabal reported: The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said, “Whoever meets Allah without associating any partners with Him, performs the five prayers, and fasts the month of Ramadan, then he will be forgiven.” I said, “Shall I not give them glad tidings, O Messenger of Allah?” The Prophet said, “Leave them to work.”

Layatul Qadr is the most holy night for Muslims. Unfortunately, we don’t know exactly when that night is, except that it falls on the last ten days of Ramadan.

Muhammad (saw) said, “Look for the Night of Qadr in the last ten nights of Ramadan on the night when nine or seven or five nights remain out of the last ten nights of the Ramadan.” – Bukhari.

Also regarding the night, it was narrated by Aisha (ra) that the Prophet (saw) had said, “Whoever prays during the night of Qadr with faith and hoping for its reward will have all of his previous sins forgiven.” – Bukhari

The Prophet Muhammad (saw) said, “Whoever prays Fajr is under the protection of Allah,” and, “The two sunnah cycles of prayer preceding Fajr prayer are better than this world and all that it contains” (Muslim).

Surely, Fajr is one of the hardest salah prayers, and with the days being so long, we’re all pretty drained during this time. But it is during Fajr (and Asr) time in which the angels are asked by Allah (swt) what His servants are doing.

“There are angels who take turns in visiting you by night and by day, and they all assemble at Fajr and Asr prayers. Those who have spent the night with you ascend to the Heaven and their Lord, Who knows better about them, yet asks, ‘In what condition did you leave My servants?’ They reply, ‘We left them while they were performing salah and we went to them while they were performing salah’” Bukhari.

More so than that, as we all know, Ramadan is the period of the year in which we ask for forgiveness, mercy and protection from the hellfire. Well, the Prophet (saw) told us, according to Muslim, “Whoever performs the prayer before the rising of the sun and the prayer before its setting will not enter Hell.”

If we miss these blessed opportunities during the blessed month, we are without a doubt, among the losers.
