Character Corner
As we relax during the Thanksgiving break it is important to remember that our appreciation for our blessings is a daily reflection we should all commit to. In surat al Nahal Allah tells us that ,
"If you tried to count Allah’s blessings, you would never be able to number them. Surely Allah is All-Forgiving, Most Merciful.(16:18)"
Even if we tried, we would never be able to recount all the blessings of our Lord. But enumerating as many as we can as a daily practice and thanking our Creator for such abundance is a practice we all should partake it, every day of the year, Inshallah.
Have a wonderful extended weekend ahead. As always, if you should be in need of anything, feel free to reach out to me at any time at tismail@aqsa.edu.
Sincerely,
Ms. Tammie Ismail
