Why Do We Call It Shajar
The motive behind the name of the organization “Shajar”:
It is based on the Hadith —
Volume 1, Book 3, Number 58:
Narrated Ibn ‘Umar: Allah’s Apostle said,
“Amongst the trees, there is a tree, the leaves of which do not fall and is like a Muslim. Tell me the name of that tree.”
Everybody started thinking about the trees of the desert areas. And I thought of the date-palm tree but felt shy to answer the others then asked, “What is that tree, O Allah’s Apostle?”
He replied, “It is the date-palm tree.” 🌟
The date-palm tree — this is a good tree to which Allah likened the word of Tawheed when it is established in the sincere heart, where it bears fruits of good deeds that strengthen Eemaan (faith).
Mission and Vision:
Our weekend classes are free for underprivileged children and orphans. We focus on imparting Islamic as well as general knowledge.
Our objective is to bring an Islamic guide and discipline within the child. Our organization focuses on working for the overall development of the child.
