Achievement of glorious feats is through performing noble deeds.” Imam Ali (as) reference: al-islam.org
Salaamun Alaykum,
Alhamdulillah, classes are going well and we are grateful to parents who are helping children join the online classes. Please do encourage your child(ren) to turn on the video as it facilitates a more engaging experience. Our dedicated Teachers are continuing to look for ways to engage students through interactive activities.
As mentioned at start of madrassah year, we will assess in Dec/Jan timeframe whether we can return to onsite classes in Term 2 (February). Since our classes would be held at JCC (9000 Bathurst), we are obtaining information from ISIJ on the protocols we all (students, parents, and volunteers) will have to follow and assess our ability to conduct safe and effective classes with the available volunteers. InshaAllah, we’ll provide more info on this in the coming weeks. If you have a strong preference one way or the other, please share your thoughts via e-mail to admin@al-haadi.ca, subject: Online or Onsite.

Al-Haadi Student Council Charity Initiative
In collaboration with Az-Zahra Foundation, Al-Haadi Student Council would like to launch this year’s Charity! We pledge to provide WATER AID in remote areas where there is no water and we pledge to SUPPORT ORPHANS, WIDOWS & VULNERABLE CHILDREN.
Kindly discuss the charity with your family and friends and participate via donations. The donations will be tracked by dinyat class and donation receipts will be emailed instantly when you donate online at the link below.
When you check out, in the ‘Additional Information section’, enter ‘Al-Haadi’ and your child’s dinyat class e.g. ‘Al-Haadi D3B’, so we can track donations by class. You can choose to donate any amount or select from the options suggested on the site. No amount is small…and each one of us can make a huge difference inshaAllah. Click on the below link for details.
