Youth and the Law – A Glimpse

Feb24

Serving Humanity held a workshop on Saturday, February 11, 2017, from 3:45pm – 5:30pm.

The purpose of this workshop was to educate youth and provide an understanding of the role of law enforcement in our lives. We hosted about 50 guests for this event. Our guest speaker, Br. Jamal Khan, a police veteran of 35 years, shed light on important issues faced by youth such as drug abuse and cyber-bullying. An important message conveyed by our speaker was how to use our Deen as an anchor when facing such situations.

This also proved to be a great opportunity to obtain information about a career path in law enforcement and other job opportunities in the police force. Alhamdulillah, we had a great turnout and the session proved to a source of benefit for everyone.

Here are some pictures of the event:

4th Annual Dhul Hijjah Food Challenge Results are in!

4th Annual Dhul Hijjah Food Challenge Results are in!

This year’s Dhul Hijjah Food Challenge was very different in terms of the participating courses as our AHES students, boys Tahfidh classes and staff moved to a new location.  With half of the building empty, our remaining staff and students were still determined to  continue helping our neighbours in need.

  • Our weekday TQE7 class commenced in August 2016 and the Dhul Hijjah Food Challenge was their first Serving Humanity project.  They decided to form groups in their class and compete against each other to see which group could collect the most.  The effect of this was phenomenal as each group raced to outdo each other in good deeds.
  • Weekend classes TQE4 and TQU4 only had 1 day of class during the Dhul Hijjah Food Challenge due to the long weekend and Eid break.  Despite this fact, TQU4 students brought in their donations early and TQE4 students brought in their food items and also raised funds used for purchasing oil and rice.
  • Hifdh classes also participated and  their dedication to bring in items on a daily basis could be seen from their enthusiastic teachers and students.
  • Fiqh al Quloob students put in a good share of food donations and rose to the challenge.
  • From the outreach venues our Etobicoke class happily participated in this year’s challenge as well.

After the 10 day drive, the Al Huda community was able to collect 1,241 food items during this 4th #DhulHijjahFC!

And the class who collected the most was

TQE7

Congratulations TQE7 on your efforts and everyone who participated.

SPRING FOOD DRIVE for Mississauga Food Bank

Mar31

It’s spring time in Mississauga! A time of renewed hope and optimism. Join us in spreading that feeling across the city to as many struggling families and hungry kids as we can! From now until Sunday, April 10, we are participating in Mississauga Food Bank’s Spring Food Drive.

Drop your nutritious, NON-perishable donations in the wooden bins located at Al Huda’s front entrance, and at the back of the prayer hall. The most needed items are rice, beans, peanut butter, and canned fish, meat, vegetables, and fruit.

So get to the grocery store, knock on some doors, get to your phones and emails, and spread the word to friends, family, and neighbours that Al Huda is helping feed Mississauga this spring, and we need their help!

More info on the drive and the need: http://www.themississaugafoodbank.org/event/spring-drive/

Please note that we will not be collecting money this drive, only food. Lots and lots of healthy food!
