Ramadan Kareem – Taraweeh at Furqaan Academy!

On 08.11.10

Ramadan Kareem!

As-Salamu-‘Alaykum,
Dear Furqaan Academy Parents, Staff and Volunteers,

Ramadan Kareem as the blessed month of Ramadan is just around the corner! As you may be aware that the name of our school: “Furqaan” is closely related to the spirit of Ramadan mentioned in the following verse:

“Ramadan is the (month) in which was sent down the Qur’an, as a guide to mankind, also as Al Furqaan: clear (signs) for guidance and judgment (between right and wrong).” [2:185]

And the month of Ramadan is one of those opportune times when we strengthen our faith and expand good deeds for exponential rewards in order to attain the pleasure of our Creator. Ramadan is a time to reflect on our relationship with Allah SWT, to renew our commitment to His Deen, and to renew our intentions to move forward with the new found vigor and spiritual strength through the blessed acts of Salah, Sawm, and Sadaqa.

Ramadan is a time where we encourage the older Furqaan Academy students (in an age appropriate manner) to start trying to practice fasting, perform their daily Salat with a congregation at their local Masjid, and to join the night prayers (Taraweeh) as much as they are able. The younger students can practice giving Sadaqa, join the family in breaking fast at the end of the day, learn the Ramadan Du’as and increase listening, reciting, and memorizing the Qur’an.

Ramadan Hours and Taraweeh at Furqaan Academy!
In consideration of the increased level of worship in Ramadan the Furqaan Academy Elementary school (KG through 5th Grade) will dismiss an hour early. The Ramadan hours for the Elementary grades will be from 7:45 am to 2:45 pm. Daycare hours will remain the same from 7 am to 6 pm.

As Furqaan Academy commits to the development of tomorrow’s leaders and scholars, we are excited to announce that some of our young and upcoming scholars of the Collin County community will be leading Taraweeh at the Furqaan Academy Musalla. Moazzam Farooqi, and Murtuza Ahmed, young Huffaz that completed the memorization of the whole Qur’an at IACC under the instructions of respected Shaikh Muhammad Mangera will be leading 10 rakats each offering complete 20 Rakats Taraweeh services at Furqaan Academy facility. Collin County community and especially parents with children in their teen-age are encouraged to join the Taraweeh at Furqaan and listen to the beautiful recitation of our young Huffaz. Youth centered weekly programs is being planned with guests speakers. Please stay tuned for further announcements. Isha is at 10:00 pm.

First Open House at Furqaan Academy!
Furqaan Academy is hosting an Open House for the DFW and especially Collin County communities. Please invite your Masjid Imam, Shura, friends, relative and especially potential parents to attend the Furqaan Academy Open House this Saturday, August 14th at 11:30 am to meet the school’s experienced teachers, to learn about its state of the art curriculum and to visit its current facility.

Once again, Ramadan Mubarak! May Allah guide, accept and bless our humble efforts and enable us to fully benefit from the blessings of this Ramadan.

As-Salamu-‘Alaykum,
