Hadith: Prophet Muhammad (S) said: There is a month between Rajab and Ramadan that many people neglect. In that month, deeds are presented to the Lord of the worlds. I would like my deeds to be presented while I am fasting. (Sunan an-Nasai)
As we are approaching the blessed month of Ramadan, this is a reminder to promote healthy living in our children by observing a few good habits, such as:
Please ensure students observe cleanliness in their hygiene, clothes, and iman. Talk to them about mentally preparing for Ramadan by abstaining from negative talk and habits and limiting electronics; spiritually preparing for Ramadan by learning new duas, and surahs, reading more Quran, fulfilling fard, sunnah, and nafl salah; physically preparing for Ramadan by keeping clean habits, watching their diet, and getting enough sleep.
2. To promote environmental responsibility. Allah (Subhanahu Wa Ta’ala) commands human beings to avoid doing mischief and wasting resources as these acts cause degradation of the environment. At Sunday School, water bottles are provided for our students; however, we have seen an increase in wastage. Therefore, we are recommending parents send reusable water bottles with their students. There are a number of filling stations at school available to students.
Going green or being environmentally conscious is not a new phenomenon in Islam. The Quran has guided us to do our part as Khalifas (guardians) of the earth. Eat and drink: But waste not by excess, for Allah loveth not the wasters (Surat Al-A’raf 7: 31).
