From Director's Desk

Dear Brothers and Sisters, Assalam alaikum wa rahmatullahi wa barakatuhu

We thank Allah Subhanahoo wa-ta'aala for His infinite bounties on us and our programs. Even though we would love to move faster but with the resources we have, Alhamdulillah, the work is expanding and improving in the direction of teaching as well as development. This report will give you an idea about the work. I would like to give a brief update about our Dream-39 project. This had 3 components: Teachers' Training Center (TTC), Dream-39 Auditorium & residential building, and Head office. By the blessings of Allah SWT and then with the support that we received from you all, we have purchased a land of 7.5 acres. The TTC building (along with residential units for teachers under training) and the Masjid is nearing completion, alhamdulillah. The other two parts, the Dream-39 Auditorium & residential buildings, and the Head office are to be executed when Allah opens His gates of mercy for these projects. We are praying and request you all to pray for this. Our Course-1 in Norway, in the past Ramadan was alhamdulillah, (a huge success) has fetched an over-whelming response. The team there was expecting a crowd of 200 people. But mashaAllah 700 people attended it almost every-day! May Allah accept it. The translation work in Norwegian language has already been started there and classes are already being conducted in that language, alhamdulillah. For more details you can write to us at: understandquran.newsletter@gmail.com May Allah bless us with sincerity, help us do the best and accept it from us, aameen. Wassalam
