As-­‐Salamu  ^Alaikum  Wa  Rahmatullah    Dear   parents,   students,   teachers   and  volunteers,   we   have   come   to   the   end   of  the   year   and   it   is   time   to   bid   you   all  farewell  until  we  meet  again  in  September.  It  has  been  a  wonderful  school  year  for  the  students,  filled  with  a  wealth  of  education  about   the   obligatory   religious   knowledge.  Parents   hold   your   chins   high   and   be   very  proud   of   the   dedication   and   hard   work  these   children   and   make   sure   to   always  encourage   them   to   keep   up   with   their  Islamic  learning  for  their  sake  and  yours.  

               

 The   children   this   year   enjoyed   several   events   at   An-­‐Noor   Learning   Center   including:  Adha   Eid   festival,  Bake  Sale,  1st  An-­‐Noor  Soccer  Tournament.  They  showed  a  spectacular  performance  at  An-­‐Noor  and  AICP  celebration  of  the  Mawlid  birth  of  Prophet  Muhammad   .  They  read  poems  and  chanted  in  Arabic  and  in  English,  while  hundreds  of  audiences  watched  and  cheered  joyfully.    I   would   like   to   take   this   opportunity   to   remind   you   to   check   the   school   website   at  http://annoorlearning.com   or   at   http://facebook.com/annoor.learningcenter   for   the   upcoming   school  year  2014-­‐2015  registration,  and  for  our  summer  events.    I  wish  you  all  a  great  summer  with  your   families  and  remember  to  always  remind  your  children  of  our  Islamic  manners  and  the  importance  of  following  al-­‐sunna  in  everything  they  do,  and  should  you  face  any  challenges  that  we  can  assist  you  with  I  urge  you  to  contact  me  directly  or  any  of  our  teachers.    I  look  forward  to  seeing  all  of  you  again  in  September  2014.

MMiirraacclleess ooff IIssrraa '' && MMii^̂rraajj The  miracle  of  al-­‐Isra'  is  confirmed  in  al-­‐Hadith  and  al-­‐

Qur'an.  Allah  said  in  Surat  al-­‐Isra',  Ayah  1:  Which  means:  [Praise  be  to  Allah  Who  enabled  His  slave,  Muhammad,   to   make   the   Isra’   journey   at   night   from  Masjid   al-­‐Haram   in   Makkah   to   Masjid   al-­‐Aqsa   in  Jerusalem,  which   is   surrounded   a   blessed   land,   to   show  him  our  great  signs.]  All   scholars   agreed   that   Prophet   Muhammad   ملسو هيلع هللا ىلصملسو هيلع هللا ىلص  

journeyed   in  body  and  soul   the  night  of  al-­‐Isra'   from  Masjid  al-­‐Haram   in  Makkah   to  Masjid  al-­‐Aqsa   in  Jerusalem.   Angel   Jibril   came  with   al-­‐Buraq   (an   animal   from   Paradise)   for   our   Prophet   to   ride   it.   Our  Prophet  prayed   in  Tayba,   in  Toor  Sina’,   in  Bayt  Lahem  where  Jesus  was  born,  and   in  al-­‐AQasa  Mosque  where   he   led   all   the   Prophets   (Imam)   in   prayer.   Then   our   Prophet ملسو هيلع هللا ىلصملسو هيلع هللا ىلص    ascended   to   the   seven   skies  (Mi^raj)   on   al-­‐Mirqat.   At   the   first   heaven,   he   saw   Prophet   Adam,   then   he   saw   Prophet   Jesus,   and  Prophet  Yahya  in  the  2nd  heaven.  Then  he  saw  Prophet  Yusuf  in  the  3rd  heaven.  He  met  Prophet  Idriss  in  the  4th  heaven.  Then  he  saw  Harun  in  the  5th  heaven.  After  that  he  saw  Prophet  Musa  in  the  6th  heaven.  Then  he  saw  Prophet   Ibrahim;  Khalilullah   in  the  7th  heaven.  He  also  saw  al-­‐Bayt  al-­‐Ma^mur  with  many  angels  and  he  saw  Sidrat  al-­‐Muntaha  tree,  and  Paradise  where  he  saw  al-­‐Hoor  al-­‐^een.  He  also  heard  the  Kalam  of  Allah  which  is  not  a  letter,  language  or  sound.  And  that’s  when  the  five  prayers  were  ordained.  As  mentioned  in  the  Ayah,  the  purpose  of  this  great  miracle  is  to  show  our  Prophet  the  great  signs  and  wondrous  creations  of  Allah.  When  our  Prophet  returned,  he  described  al-­‐Aqsa  mosque  in  exact  detail,  even   the  blasphemers  admitted   that   the  description  was  exact.  All  of   these  events  happened   in  one  third  of  a  night  by  the  will  and  power  of  Allah.■

Previous  Events              

“We liked the idea playing outside and we enjoyed the time”

Sulaiman Butt “The soccer tournament was fantastic! I loved that everyone got to have an awesome game before the end of the school year. The game with the Teachers vs. Students was great - I saw my Quran teacher score a goal - Way to go teacher Abdul Fatah! I also liked the An-Noor Soccer Cup, it was awesome! Hope to do this again next year” Salihah-ruh Butt “The soccer tournament was really good, and I got to play in two games, and we tied 2-2. I also got to see my cousins play, and they did very well. It was nice to see all the students out. The soccer cup like the FIFA World Cup trophy, it was amazing!. I really enjoyed the tournament, and would like to do it again”

Jasmine El-Hacha “The soccer tournament was spectacular. Even though I didn't play it was so fun to watch (especially when the teachers played). Can’t wait for next years awesome events!” Ayah El-Karaouni “It was a fun day for everyone. The weather was nice and I really enjoyed it. The school year went by fast but looking forward to September.” Ahmad Ghanem “It was an amazing soccer event, I loved it! Can't wait until next year and for the new semester to start!”

Hussein Kahn “We should do more activities as a school together not only soccer but other sports as well. I think everybody had a great time together. We should have more than one class playing at the same time so everybody gets a chance to play more... I certainly had a lot of fun playing, and hope for more activities”
