7/8 Boys Swimming - Tomorrow!

Just a reminder that the first swimming session for grade 7 and 8 boys will be tomorrow afternoon. Please make sure that the boys come with the proper supplies - swimming trunks, towel, extra pair of clothes (in case the uniform gets wet).

Volunteer Request: Important: Please note that we would really appreciate parental assistance during these swimming trips. The swimming classes are bi-weekly - one week for boys and the next week for girls. Please do email me if you able to volunteer your time. Even if you are only able to commit for one day, that would be a great help as the number of students is quite large. 

Jazakum Allahu khayran!

Girls Health - Health Product Project

Directions: Your job is to create your own health food product to be sold in stores across Canada. You will be responsible for product design and development - including ingredients of the product, as well as product and packaging design.

PART 1:

Step 1: Select two of your current favourite "junk" foods. Research the ingredients contained in the foods. Then research how the product is  marketed. What makes it so "desirable"?

Step 2:  Compare the ingredient list of these two "junk foods" to the suggested servings on the Canada food guide website. What are your findings? Write these down.

Part 2 of the project will be discussed after this part is submitted!

The First Ten Days of Dhul Hijjah are Upon Us!

The Prophet said, "No good deeds done on other days are superior to those done on these (first ten days of Dhul Hijjah)."

Among the good deeds which the Muslim should strive to do during the first ten days of Dhul-Hijjah are:

1. Fasting. It is Sunnah to fast on the ninth day of Dhu’l-Hijjah, because the Prophet  (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) urged us to do good deeds during this time, and fasting is one of the best of deeds.
2. Takbeer. It is Sunnah to say Takbeer ("Allahu akbar"), Tahmeed ("Al-hamdu Lillaah"), Tahleel ("La ilaha ill-Allah") and Tasbeeh ("Subhaan Allah") during the first ten days of Dhul-Hijjah.
3. Doing more good deeds in general, because good deeds are beloved by Allah and will bring a great reward from Him. Whoever is not able to go to Hajj should occupy himself at this blessed time by worshipping Allah, praying (salaat), reading Qur’an, remembering Allah, making supplication (du’aa’), giving charity, honoring his parents, upholding the ties of kinship, enjoining what is good and forbidding what is evil, and other good deeds and acts of worship.
4. Sacrifice. One of the good deeds that will bring a person closer to Allah during these ten days is offering a sacrifice, by choosing a high-quality animal and fattening it, spending money for the sake of Allah.
5. Sincere repentance. One of the most important things to do during these ten days is to repent sincerely to Allah and to give up all kinds of disobedience and sin. (islamicity.com)
