Manchester Muslim Girls School Gets Praise from Local Shop Manager

A Manchester Islamic High School for Girls has received a heartwarming letter from a local store manager, praising  and extolling the manners and behavior of the students.

“My name is [redacted], I am the store manager of the Co-op Beech road. We are only a couple of minutes away from your school,” the letter shared by the school official Facebook page reads.

“I wanted to drop you a quick email regarding the young ladies that attend your school.

“Every morning I have a lot of your students shop in our store. These students are the nicest, most respectable people I genuinely have had the pleasure to serve and speak to. They are a credit to your school, parents and mostly themselves,” the shop manager wrote.

She continued: “They are a pleasure to have in store. They couldn’t represent there themselves or school any better. I am sure you are already aware of this but I just had to say how nice and pleased I am of your students that shop in our store.”

Delighted by the kind note, the school shared the note of its official Facebook page.

“We received a beautiful email about our students today and they have truly been a great credit to themselves, the school and mostly to their parents. It’s always nice to receive messages of kindness from local neighbors and businesses. Thank you.”

Success Story

The Manchester Islamic High School for Girls was established in September 1991 by the Manchester Islamic Educational Trust Ltd, to meet the demands of the community wanting to establish a unique school exclusively specializing in the educational of Muslim girls.

The Manchester Islamic Educational Trust Ltd is charity organization encompassing a further two schools: The Manchester Muslim Preparatory School and Kassim Darwish Grammar School for Boys.

MIHSG was the first Muslim school in Manchester, which successfully combined the teaching of Islam along with the national curriculum, giving the girls the best of the worlds.

The school was rated outstanding for the third year running in its latest glowing Ofsted report in April 2019, and around 40 percent of the teaching staff are non-Muslim.

According to the Association of Muslim Schools, the UK has different types of schools; Madrassas are those religious schools which are attached to mosques, while Full-time Muslim schools aren’t focused on the recitation of the Holy Qur’an.

For years, independent Islamic schools remained at the top score of UK GCSE results, setting an example for faith schools as successful, highly-achieving and inspiring educational institutes in Britain.

The Muslim schools’ overall average of students who received 5 or more A*- C grade GCSEs, including English & Maths, exceeded the national average with 9 schools achieving a 100% success rate – only 55 schools achieved the 100% landmark in the whole of the UK.

List of Times and Places Where Dua is Accepted

A short reminder regarding the recommended times of dua . And I think what you need to know here is that the recommended times of dua or recommended things that can cause your dua to be accepted, can be divided into two sort of large groups: Am I Good Enough to Make Dua for Myself? Situations where your dua is accepted. Times where your dua is accepted So I’m going to very briefly mention them one after the other as much as possible. As for situations where your dua has been accepted: – The person who has been wronged or oppressed . – A person who finds themselves in severe difficulty after a calamity has struck. – The person who is traveling. – Someone who is fasting. – The one who is reciting the Quran or has just recited the Quran – Someone who is performing Hajj or Umrah or jihad. – The one who is making dua for someone in their absence . Because we know that when you make dua for someone in his absence an angel says: “ Ameen and to you”. – A person...

Ghuraba (The Strangers): Nasheed with English Subtitles

Islam began as something strange, and it shall return to being something strange, so give glad tidings the strangers. (Sahih Muslim 145) This famous nasheed has many versions; this one is from Muhammad al-Salman and has the subtitles in English embedded. [We are] strangers and we do not bow the foreheads to anyone besides Allah  […] Transliteration to help in the pronounciation:  Ghurabaa’ wa li ghairillaahi laa nahnil jibaa Aisha Stacey  wrote in an article for Aboutislam.net : “I think that many of you would agree that being Muslim in the 21st century makes you well acquainted with being strange. It might even be a metaphor for random, as in you have been randomly selected. […] many converts to Islam will tell you about feeling as if they were strangers, before finding Islam. They will speak of feeling that they belonged somewhere else that their lives were just slightly off center. They often speak about a vague sense of knowing they were not like everyone else...

Taqwa – Living the Main Purpose of Ramadan

Taqwa is a major purpose for the month of Ramadan. The people of taqwa are those who do the things that they are commanded and avoid the things which Allah has made prohibitive. And evidently, to reach a state of taqwa requires vigilance, it requires patience and sincerity. The verse is pertaining to fasting I found in a single set of verses in chapter 2 starting at verse 183: O you who have believed, decreed upon you is fasting as it was decreed upon those before you that you may become righteous. ( 2:183 ) A Collective Act of Worship Allah is telling us that fasting has been made obligatory and then Allah tells us that just as it was prescribed for those before us. We often get asked this question in Ramadan, “how’s the fast going for us?” And if we gave ourselves a moment to think about it, we see that Allah Most High has made the fast inside the month of Ramadan easy for us because we know that there is a collective spirit to fasting; we know that we’re not alone in this ...
