Quran (Tr. Ibtissam)

Dear Parents :

MashAllah all students in grade 2A & 2B finished memorizing Surat Al-AlA, all students did an excellent JOB !!!!!!!

The grade 2 class presented and put together a play focused on the verse number 7 of surat al-A'la.  This is a story about the Khalifa Umar Bin al Khattab (may Allah be pleased with him), when he was the leader Amir al Mu'munin. At night he would walk around the city to see everything was okay or if something was wrong . He would try to fix things so that everybody would be okay, one night, he was walking by a very small house,he heard a milk seller telling her daughter that they should add water to the milk in order to make it seem like more,so they can have more money when they sell the milk . However, the daughter refused to do this and told her mom that she did that before they were Muslims,and the khalifa forbid to do that. Her mother replied by saying that the Khalifa will not know & he can't see us, but the daughter responded by saying that even though the Khalifa doesn't see us Allah knows and sees everything.

So the moral of the story is that we should remember is that Allah (swt) is always with us and we should make our intentions for the sake of Allah (swt).
Here are some pictures of the play
