Dear Parents,
Assalamu Alaikum!
Bismillah`Ir Rahman`Ir Raheem. All Praise be to Allah (SWT).
I am pleased to share that we at Bilal Weekend Islamic School have developed an effective and challenging syllabus that will be implemented by our dedicated and caring teachers.
Insha’Allah, the Weekend Islamic School at Bilal Masjid will provide new spirit, an innovative learning environment, most up-to-date syllabus and fresh approaches in teaching. The syllabus focuses on Islamic studies including learning to read the Holy Quran, teaching proper Salat and knowledge in the light of Quran and Sunnah of our beloved Prophet (sallul lahu alaihi wassallam). This is our humble effort to develop a strong and enduring sense of an Islamic identity in our Muslim youth so they should become an active members of a diverse pluralistic society.
I know that the school can only be successful if we have the support and involvement of parents. You play an invaluable role in the triumph of your children. Thus, it is vital to maintain consistent communication with you regarding your son or daughter’s progress and your thoughts on their advancement.
Our dedicated teachers and volunteers (parents & community members) will be available at Bilal Masjid every Sunday from 10:00am to 12:15pm if you or your children have any concerns or thoughts you would like to share.
Sincerely,
Athar Pasha
Principal
