11-12-2019
On Saturday October 26, after Maghrib Salah, Darul Qur'an Institute of Islamic Studies held its 8th Annual Jalsah and Graduation Ceremony at Royal King Palace Hall in Surrey.
This year Alhamdulillah with the help of Allah and the support of the community, 4 students graduated as Hafidh ul Qur'an. It was an evening full of beautiful and inspiring recitations of the Holy Qur'an, Nasheeds, Salat-alan-Nabi, Islamic plays and speeches all performed by the students of the Madrasah.
Shaykh Mohammed Anees Abdul Wahab acknowledged the sacrifices made by students and their parents in the pursuit of Islamic education. He then explained that not only are the students of the Madrasah taught Islamic studies such as learning to read the Qur'an correctly with Tajweed, memorizing verses of the Qur'an, praying and living our lives according to the peaceful practices of Prophet Muhammad peace be upon him, but they are also taught to be law abiding, peaceful, productive and contributing members of Canadian society.
Keeping this in mind, we are pleased to inform the community that our graduates are studying in Universities in various programs. The main event of the night was the Khatmul-Qur'an, the graduation ceremony of completion of the Qur'an.
The graduates were taught Islamic Studies by Shaykh Oves Abdul Wahab and Shaykh Anees Abdul Wahab and after years of sacrifices and hard work these students completed their Tahfeedh-ul-Qur'an.
The amazing and remarkable aspect is that they completed Tahfeedh-ul-Qur'an while going to high school just like other boys of their age. Many Scholars of Islam attended and graced the event with their presence.
Alhamdulillah this year we were honoured with the presence of Shaykh Imam Dr. Zijad Delic of Ottawa who spoke about the importance of educating our Muslim youth and investing in their future.
Guests from the lower mainland and guests from New York, Calgary and other cities attended the event. Dignitaries that attended the event included Member of Parliament Mr. Sukh Dhaliwal and Member of Parliament Mr. Randeep Sarai and leaders of local Muslim organizations.
Both Members of Parliament recognized the positive impact of the Institute in the community. Shaykh Mohammed Anees Abdul Wahab informed the audience that the Institute suffers financial difficulties and is in need of assistance to carry on the many programs and services the Institute is offering.
He also informed the audience that Darul Qur’an Institute of Islamic Studies is recognized by Canada Revenue Agency as a Registered Charity and Tax Deductible receipts will be issued for donations.
He then explained that the Institute is committed to financial transparency and the community is welcome to see the financial records of the Institute. With the help of the Almighty and generous support of the community approximately $40,000 were raised.
At the conclusion of the event the founders of the Institute, Shaykh Mohammed Oves Abdul Wahab and Shaykh Mohammed Anees Abdul Wahab thanked the guests and volunteers and a sumptuous dinner was enjoyed by all in attendance followed by Isha Salah.
