Allah’s Ad-Deen Adherence In the name of allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful All the praises and thanks be to Allah The Lord of the Alamin (mankind, jinn and all that exists) The most Gracious, the Most Merciful The only owner (and the only Ruling judge) of the Day of Recompense (i.e. the Day of Resurrection) You (alone) we worship, and You (alone) we ask for help (for each and everything) Guide us to the straight way The way of those on whom You have bestowed your Grace not (the way) Who earned your anger, nor of Those who went astray. (Surah Al-Fatiha)

Law Abider Earthians Qur’an Verily, those who believe [in the Oneness of Allah, and in His Messenger Muhammad including all obligations ordered by Islam] and do righteous good deeds, they are the best of creatures. (Surah 99: Ayat 7)

Amanat Achiever Governance Qur’an O you who believe! Betray not Allah and His Messenger, nor betray knowingly your Amanat (things entrusted to you, and all the duties which Allah has Ordained for you). (Surah 8, Al-Anfal: Ayat 27)

Discipline-Oriented Mankind Hadith The Prophet (s.a.w.) said: “Work for your life as though you will live forever, and work for the Hereafter as though you will die tomorrow.” (Hadith Mashuur)

Lettered-Genius Academicians Qur’an Read! In the Name of your Lord Who has created (all that exists). He has created man from a clot (a piece of thick coagulated blood). Read! And your Lord is the Most Generous Who has taught (the writing) by the pen He has taught man that which he knew not. (Surat Al-’Alaq (The Clot), Ayat 1-5)

Unconquered Jihadist Race Qur’an Jihad (holy fighting in Allah’s cause) is ordained for you (Muslims) though you dislike it, and it may be that you dislike a thing which is good for you and that you like a thing which is bad for you. Allah knows but you do not know. (Surah 2: Ayat 216)

Muhsinun Adam’s Trailblazers Qur’an “Ad who can be better in religion than one who submits his face (himself) to Allah (i.e. follows Allah’s religion of Islamic Monotheism); and he is a Muhsin (a good-doer).” (Surah 4, An-Nisa: Ayat 25)

Muhammad (s.a.w.) Moro Murids Hadith The Prophet (s.a.w.) said: “Discipline your children with three features: the love of your Prophet (s.a.w.), the love of his household, and the recitation of the Holy Qur’an.” (Hadith Mashuur)

Ameer-full of Courage Hadith “A commander (of the Muslims) is a shield for them.” (Sahih Muslim: Hadith 4542)

Humility-mega (in thoughts, words & deeds) Humility-mega (in thoughts, words & deeds) Hadith The Prophet (s.a.w.) said: “The best of my community are those who when treated foolishly are tolerant, and when wronged they forgive, and when they are hurt are patient.” (Hadith Mashuur)

In the Sayings of the Holy Prophet Muhammad (S.A.W.) “Knowledge of God is my Capital: Reason is the Root of my Faith; Love is my Foundation; Enthusiasm is my Horse; Remembrance of God is my Friend; Firmness is my Treasure; Sorrow is my Companion; Science is my Weapon; Patience is my Mantle; Contentment is my Booty; Poverty is my Pride; Devotion is my Art; Conviction is my Power; Truth is my Redeemer; Obedience is my Sufficiency; Struggle if my Manner; and My Pleasure is in my Prayer.” VII.
