WLC Presents Summer School 2012 

Held in Camilla Rd. Public School 

July 4th - August 9th



"The teachers in summer camp changed my life, now I am a proper Muslim." 
-Abeer 

"This school is an amazing school. My friends and I have accomplished so much. Everyday we learn different topics and new things. Each day passing is like a new adventure. This school is like a second home making everything so comfortable to me, and I think it is because everyone is so nice. I thank everyone for this experience. I am sure everyone is going to be sad that we are all going to leave this school. Remember that time we all went to the Huron Park that was fun, or that time the firefighters came wow ...out of all these memories its going to be hard to say goodbye. But I have advice...as the famous Dr. Seuss once said: "Don't cry because it's over, smile because it happened." 
-Xenab

"My experience here at summer school was fun At first I thought it would be boring but then after I started to understand...I am lucky! Some topics I have learned are Islamic morals, greeting etiquettes, telling truth, choosing the good company, etc. I think this kind of school should be for every Muslim. We should know the knowledge of deen and this improves our respect and kindness" 
-Ayesha


"Each thursday a special guest comes to talk with us about their job and how they help around the community. We learned a lot of good qualities a person needs in life. There is always something new to learn in this summer school."
-Hiba


"I think this school is excellent...The teachers are really good at teaching us. They tell us ways to go to Jannah and ways to stay away from Juhanam, and I know that this is the best school I have learned at. Also there are a lot of friends to play with. This is truly a good school to learn at with new people and the teachers help us learn fast and with fun!
-Taha

Giving Children an Islamic Environment ....


In the Name of Allah, the Entirely Merciful, the Eternally Merciful,
Respected Prime Minister, Statesmen, Parliamentarians and my dear friends,
May the peace of Allah be upon you.
Today's topic of discussion is the nourishment of children in the right environment. 

The highest Messenger, Prophet Muhammad (s.a.w) narrated, every child is born on the fitrah or natural disposition of Islam. The religion of Islam is established upon sanctity, freedom, equality, intelligence and reasoning. The environment is an industry that shapes children into a mold and bequeaths them to society. Respected Prime Minister, brilliant nations provide human generations with chaste and autonomous environment. The children raised in such an environment are an embodiment of modesty and honesty. Despite being leaders, they prefer to work and be called the nation's servants. Satanic environments construct arrogant and selfish children. Children growing up in an imperious and egocentric society, are disgraced and deprived of dignity and faith. They are opportunists that auction the nation's sovereignty and honour for dollars. Children are born blind in nations who trade their eyes (wit, insight and comprehension) for livelihood. The fountain of knowledge, may Allah be pleased with his face, Ali (r.a) said, "Societies can survive in an environment of disbelief but they perish in unjust conditions. Pharaoh was an example of injustice and he was wiped out. Nirod (Namrud) was the mark of terrorism and he was obliterated. Abu Jahal was the advocate of ignorance and he was history. Yazeed was a story of barbarianism and he was cursed. 

Ladies and Gentlemen, it is true that injustice environment kills talent. A transgressive environment encourages savagery and hooliganism. The children growing up in today's Pakistan have the right to ask in the name of enlightenment, why costs for basic survival are escalating? Why poverty is thickening? Why environment is polluted? Why lawlessness is stratum? Why are citizens distraught with fear? Why is the giver of justice, Chief Justice distributing oppression? 

Honourable Ladies and Gentlemen, the way of our parents, the etiquette of our teachers, the sentiments of philosophers, the role of  guides and ambition of leaders - combined shape the environment. If mothers tutor their children to be truthful, the same kids grow up to be called Abdul Qadir Jilani. Students following the lesson plans of teachers like Meer become Iqbal. Children become Quaid-e-Azam when they are fed discipline, good morals and principles. Keep in mind that filthy homes can produce Chistiies but you will never find Meer Luqmani there. The wombs of dull minded societies can give birth to shameless and abhorrent practices. They can produce Meer Saddiq and Meer Jafar but not Tippu Sultan. 

Respected Governors, every human being is compounded of a body and soul. Just nourishing the body give rise to beastly and debased race. While spirituality elevates it with noble qualities. Animalistic environments are responsible for criminals like of Napoleon, Hitler and Alexander. In holy settings, trains martyrs like Bilal, Muhammad bin Qasim and Haidar. 

My dear fellows, lets make a pact to convert licentious environments to righteousness and virtue. Break the fetters of prejudices and gather human beings in the necklace of love. Remove the layers of thorns and gently put a stage of flowers. Crush the monster of sectarianism and adopt the attitude of enlightened consciousness instead of enlightened thought. I am confident that only through a pure and genuine environments, sages like Iqbal will rise, high-minded, upstanding and incorruptible leaders will dawn and the nation's muhsin (well wishers) like Qadeer Khan will emerge. Then the horizon will shine bright with new beginning for Pakistan.

And upon me is only the responsibility of conveying. 
Long Live and forever remain Pakistan.

How does Hadith Benefit kids?

The following is the feedback from parents and siblings of our Grade 5 student with respect to their changed character after studying the personality, behavior and teachings of Muhammad (SAW) in Husna-e-Akhlaq.

From Sibling:
-Baji is now ignoring a little less than before. Before, after I asked her something she would never answer. Now most of the times she does. Also she is reading Salah slowly. Before just watching her read Salah made me dizzy. Now I can watch her without getting dizzy.

-There have been many changes in my sister, some of them are that she now prays 5 times a day and reminds me to pray if I forget, she also always reminds me to read the duas, such as the dua before eating, dua before sleeping. Also if I ever happen to get in a fight with my other sister, she tells me to stop before it gets worse.
I also think that my sister has gotten more responsible. She does more work even with all the work she has, but she manages to fit it in her schedule. Also whenever she comes back from school she tells me what she learned. She also discusses with everyone, something she learned in school and we all learn something new.

From another Sibling:
I have noticed many changes in Aapa. Whenever me and my siblings start arguing, she tries to solve the problem by listening to both sides. She is very helpful to my mom whenever my mom asked her to clean the table, Aapa does. Sometimes when Aapa gets angry she used to yell at us but now she forgives us and is more calmer. On Saturday I was feeling very sick, Aapa was very understanding. She let me skip chores such as cleaning table and Aapa did it herself. I think Aapa did a very good job.

From Parent:
Assalam Alalikum
My daughter has improved in her behavior with dealing with her siblings and she is more wise in understanding situations and behaving accordingly to Islamic guidelines.
We are very thankful and obliged to see how you are coaching our children to be on the right path.

From Sibling:
I have noticed a lot of changes in my sister. For one thing her behavior changed towards her family. Any time someone is sick she will be the first person to come and help, no matter what she is doing. Whenever she comes home on the weekend she usually shares the knowledge learnt and wants others to benefit from it too.

From Parents:
My daughter always talks about the education she got, and shares the knowledge she learnt. She is a kind of girl who always acts upon the ilm what she get, so that we can see her ilm in her amal, MashaAllah.

From more Parents:
ALHAMDULLILLAH. I am happy that my daughter is in such a great learning environment. Yes, I have seen lots of improvements in all areas of her moral values. I am feeling so lucky that she had the opportunity to learn with such loving, caring and great teachers.
I want her to stay in this circle forever in future to get good guidance for every aspect of her life and benefit others from that knowledge.

May Allah make us from His guests and favour us with the blessing of worshiping Him and learning the Qur'an and Hadith at His Holy House aameen
