Bismillaah, 

Allaah the Most High says: "Those who spend their wealth (in Allaah's Cause) by night and day. In secret and in public, they shall have their reward with their Lord. On them shall be no fear, nor shall they grieve [2:274]. "

History
Iqra Nejashi Islamic School is a a new Islamic School slated to start in September 2016. We will be offering classes from grades 1-5 in shaa Allaah and will be operating out of the ECMCA (Ethiopian Canadian Muslim Community Association). It will be a school where children can get the best possible Islamic and secular education in one in shaa Allaah.

For who?

• our community has served hundreds of students of all ethnicities across weekend classes
• our Islamic school likewise will continue to serve students of all ethnicities and backgrounds
• a lot of our students come from disadvantaged areas and like every child deserve the BEST 

Why?

• we are starting from scratch and need the funds to create a good foundation for our precious jewels
• we need to create an environment better than public school
• we need a place for them to play during recess
• we need gym equipment
• we need classroom supplies
• we need computer supplies...etc

We want these children to be excited about their deen, excited about being Muslim and practicing their faith. These children will be praying daily at the prescribed times, learning ahadeeth, arabic, quran and hifdh...etc along side the Ontario Curriculum. Both curricula being taught with the same zeal and care! 

Ruler rule: Regardless of background, regardless of financial ability, every child has a right to the best education possible!

Every cent of the money raised will go directly to the kids and the materials and tools necessary to run everyday classes. From notebooks and folders to paint and crayons to toners and gym equipment. We would like to create play stations, art stations and reading stations for the students. We would also like to have a handful of operational computers and funds to take the kids on class trips. How many of us have fond childhood memories of a trip to the science centre or to the zoo with our school? 

We would also like to build a playground for the kids in the backyard! We have so many dreams and aspirations to make this school a success but are limited by a lack of funds.  Children are our future and our hope in a better tomorrow. They deserve the very best and that is what we are trying to provide them with. The lessons they learn, the ayaahs they memorize and the ahadeeth they implement is worth anything this dunya has to offer and more. With the help and will of Allaah we are trying to create positive, proactive,intellectual individuals striving for the akherah. 

Allaah reminds us in surah Muhammad v.38 : "Behold! You are those who are called to spend in the Cause ofAllaah, yet among you are some who are niggardly. And whoever is niggardly, it is only at the expense of his ownself..."

These are our jewels, these are our most prized possessions, these are our children! Every cent counts, ever dollar matters and every good action is with Allaah alone. 

May Allaah bless you all for your support! Ameen.
