Welcome to 2021

 Assalamualaikum 

Dear Brothers/Sisters,

Indeed, the year 2020 was full of challenges. But in every challenge, there is a hidden opportunity! Only a believer can discover that opportunity whereas a non-believer will only cringe and complain about the difficulty in the challenge.

Allah says in the Qur’an: And We will surely test you with something of fear and hunger and a loss of wealth and lives and fruits, but give good tidings to the patient, Who, when disaster strikes them, say, “Indeed we belong to Allah, and indeed to Him we will return.” Those are the ones upon whom are blessings from their Lord and mercy. And it is those who are the [rightly] guided. [Quran 2:155-157]

Though the year 2020 left some mental scars, it also gave us a great opportunity to reflect, to ponder, and most importantly to set our priorities right… Having lived through 2020, Insha’Allah, 2021 will give us more opportunities to thank Allah like never before and get more closer to him. One of the best ways to show gratitude towards our creator is to use the extra time provided by the pandemic to learn the Quran. As believers, we do believe that Quran is the word of Allah, but we should also do our best to fulfil the rights of the Quran on us which are: recitation, reflection, application and propagation.
