Hadith of the Week
Sisters of Unity, Reading, Changing,
Exploring & Striving
Narrated 'Umar bin Al-Khattab (May Allah be pleased with
him), reported: Messenger of Allah (sallallaahu ?alayhi wa sallam) said, "The deeds are considered by the intentions, and a
person will get the reward according to his intention. So whoever emigrated for Allah and His Messenger, his emigration
will be for Allah and His Messenger; and whoever emigrated
for worldly benefits or for a woman to marry, his emigration
would be for what he emigrated for".
[Al-Bukhari and Muslim].
Kids Corner - Meet Makiyah
Mashaa’Allah la hawla wa la
quwaata illa billah
Makiyah is a 7th grader at
A.M.Y Northwest ( Academy for the Middle Years )
in Philadelphia, PA. A.M.Y
Northwest is an Academic
based school, where you
have to interview, and be
accepted to attend. You
have to have exceptional
grades, exceptional behavior, a positive outlook on
life, and be involved in your
community. She was also
promoted one grade,
Alhamdulillah.
Makiyah received 3 Scholarships in the last 2 years.
From Ben Carson ( first
doctor to successfully split
Siamese twins), the Bill
Gates Millennium Fund, and
the Langston Hughes Fund
for Poetry. She's the President of the National Honor
Society Chapter at her
school, and she's in the
program for the Mentally
Gifted. She tutors at her
school, as well as on weekends. She also volunteers
tutoring math and reading
at a local library.
In her spare time, Makiyah
loves reading books. She
enjoys cooking and helping
her mother at home. Not
only does she complete her
homework, she helps her
younger sister with her
homework as well.
While excelling academically she manages to stay
abreast with her Islamic
studies. With all the hard
work and effort she puts
forth, she still sets time
aside for some much needed and well deserved sleep.
Makiyah is indeed an inspiration for us as parents as
well as her peers. With
Allah lies all success. We
encourage Makiyah as well
as others, young and old,
to seek knowledge until
there comes a day when
you can seek it no more.
Be diligent in your studies
and never give up.
We hope that Makiyah
continues to strive and
reach for her goals. May
Allah accept her good
deeds, aid her in her affairs,
and grant her success in
this life and in the hereafter, Ameen.
