Dārul Qamar lil Banāt

🌸 IT TAKES A COMMUNITY 🌸

Assalaamu ‘alaykum wa rahmatullaahi wa barakaatuh,

Previously, we spoke about our girls.

Today, we want to speak about the people who stood behind them. 🤍

A vision may begin with an idea, but it takes a community to bring that vision to life.

To every donor who opened their heart and contributed towards making our first DQB function possible, Jazaakumullaahu khayran.

You did not simply contribute towards a function. You contributed towards an opportunity for our girls to learn, grow, challenge themselves and discover what they are capable of.

May Allah accept every contribution as sadaqah jaariyah, multiply your reward and place immense barakah in your wealth. 🤲🏼

And to our parents, a very special Jazaakumullaahu khayran. ❤️

Thank you to those who came to support their daughters, sat in the audience, encouraged them and celebrated them.

And thank you to those who gave their time and energy behind the scenes, helping set up chairs, prepare the hall, purchase what was needed, coordinate from their side and simply stepping in wherever there was a need.

To those who kept asking, “What can I do to help?” we saw you, and we appreciate you.

These may seem like small acts, but collectively, they are what helped make yesterday possible.

And perhaps most importantly, our girls got to see what community looks like: people who don't only ask, “What am I getting?” but ask, “What can I give?” 🤍

A very special and heartfelt Jazaakumullaahu khayran to Sheikh Ismail Londt .

Sheikh, you have always been someone who is ready to step in and assist, no matter what the task may be.

Not only what you did for this function, or all the times you've assisted, You played a significant role in helping us with something that has become such an important part of our identity, the name Dārul Qamar lil Banāt. 🌙

We are truly grateful for your continued willingness to assist, advise and support whenever needed.

May Allah place barakah in your knowledge, your time and your wealth, accept your efforts as sadaqah jaariyah, and continue to make you a means of khayr wherever you go.

Jazaakumullaahu khayran wa ahsanal jazaa. 🤲🏼

To our MC and sound team, thank you for helping bring the programme together and ensuring that the day ran smoothly.

And to our community at large, thank you for showing up for our girls and believing that they deserve spaces where they can learn, grow, discover themselves and be celebrated.

This program reminded us that DQB is not built by one person.

It is built by people who give, serve, support and believe.

To every person who played a part, whether your contribution was seen by many or known only to a few:

We see you.
We appreciate you.
And we make du‘aa for you. 🤍

May Allah accept every effort, every contribution, every sacrifice and every du‘aa made for our children.

May He place barakah in what we have begun and allow it to grow into something that benefits our girls, our families and our community for generations to come.

Jazaakumullaahu khayran. 🌸

Dārul Qamar lil Banāt 🌙

Assalāmu ‘alaykum wa raḥmatullāhi wa barakātuh,

Alḥamdulillāh, we are excited to announce that Dārul Qamar lil Banāt will be hosting its very first community event on Sunday, 16 August, at Masjidul Ummah, inshā’Allāh.

This is a very special milestone for our madrasah, and we are truly grateful to Allah ﷻ for granting us this opportunity.

One of the core aims of Dārul Qamar lil Banāt is to nurture confident, knowledgeable young Muslim girls who are able to positively contribute to their community. As part of this vision, our girls will have the opportunity to participate in the programme in different ways. Some of our students will be sharing a short naṣīḥah on a topic close to their hearts, while others will be taking part in a nasheed presentation, inshā’Allāh.

We believe that opportunities like these allow our girls to step outside their comfort zones, develop confidence, strengthen their public speaking skills, and learn the importance of sharing beneficial knowledge with others. More importantly, we hope to nurture within them the confidence and courage to become positive role models within the Ummah.

🌙 Programme Details

🗓 Date: Sunday, 16 August
🕌 Venue: Masjidul Ummah, Ottery/Lotus River
🕤 Time: 9:30 AM until just before Ẓuhr, inshā’Allāh

We would love to have all our mothers present to support and encourage our girls on this memorable occasion. Your presence and encouragement will mean so much to them, especially as they step forward to share their naṣīḥah and participate in front of the community.

This event is not only a milestone for Dārul Qamar lil Banāt, but also an opportunity for our girls to experience what it means to contribute, to share beneficial knowledge, and to grow together as a community.

Kindly let us know if you will be attending so that we may plan accordingly.

We ask Allah ﷻ to place immense barakah in this event, make it a means of benefit for our students, our parents and the wider community, and grant every one of our girls confidence, sincerity and success. May Allah ﷻ allow this to be the beginning of many more beautiful opportunities for our madrasah and our girls.

Āmīn, yā Rabbal-‘Ālamīn. 🤲🏼

Jazākumullāhu khayran for your continued support and encouragement. We look forward to sharing this very special milestone with you, inshā’Allāh. 🌸

Alhamdulillah, our little end-of-term celebration was filled with smiles, laughter, cake, and precious memories. 🎂✨

This was extra special as we celebrated one of our girls’ birthdays alongside our term-end party. The girls enjoyed some sweet treats, played Uno, laughed together, and simply enjoyed being children. In fact, madrasa had ended two hours earlier, yet they were still happily playing and spending time together.

SubhanAllah, these are the moments that become part of a happy childhood. The moments that seem small today, a slice of cake, a game of Uno, laughter with friends often become the memories that stay with us forever.

Years from now, when these girls are married and have children of their own, they may not remember every lesson or every day, but they will remember how they felt. They will remember the joy, the friendships, the celebrations, and the feeling of belonging. These are the stories they will one day share with their own children.

Creating a space where our girls feel loved, valued, celebrated, and excited to come to madrasa is everything. May Allah ﷻ bless our girls, preserve their beautiful memories, and allow their hearts to always remain connected to His Deen. Aameen 🤍🌙

When you invest in Dārul Qamar lil Banāt, these are the moments you help create.
