1 KNOWLEDGE FAITH DISCIPLINE A Not-For-Profit Organisation Issue 5: 13 th June 2018 Assalamu Alaikum Wa Rahmatullahi Wa Barakaatuhu Lo! We revealed it on the Night of Power. And what will explain to you what the Night of Power is? The Night of Power is better than a thousand months. The angels and the Spirit (Angel Gabriel) descend therein, by the permission of their Lord, on every errand. Peace! This until the rise of morning. Surah 97 Laylatul Qadr or The Night of Power is the night the Quran was first revealed to Nabi Muhammad SAW (Peace and Blessings Upon Him). It is a blessed night and one of the odd nights in the last ten nights of Ramadan. The Quran was revealed to remove the darkness of ignorance and to light up the path of truth and righteousness. It is Sunnah to occupy oneself with prayer and thikr and beseech the forgiveness of Allah during this time. Dear Parents and Caregivers, The School Board, the staff and I would like to wish all families and friends a wonderful Eid-ul- Fitr, InshAllah. We hope that Allah, the Almighty, has granted you a fulfilling and rewarding Ramadan. We are sad to see this month pass by so quickly. Please note: Our school will be closed on Friday, 15 th June and Monday, 18 th June due to the Eid celebrations. Our students return on Tuesday, 19 th June. From Tuesday, 19 th June, school will resume to closing at normal hours: Kindy to Year 2: dismissed at 3:20pm Year 3 to Year 6: dismissed at 3:30pm

2 Eid Festival We shall have the Rissalah Eid Festival on Tuesday, 19 th June. Students are welcome to wear mufti to the Eid Festival.

School Fees and Technology Fee It is good practice to settle all debts immediately. Please ensure you complete the school fee payments. Please settle the Technology Fee of $20 per term per student. Please note that this year, there was no technology fee in Term 1 due to technical issues with the internet. Thus this year the technology fee is $20 x 3 terms = $60.
