The Power of Working as One Ummah made the participants appreciate the impact of working collaboratively to attain ALLAH S.W.T.'s Pleasure, Mercy and Forgiveness in the world and the hereafter. The spirit of working as one Ummah, as one great brotherhood that transcends ethnic affiliation or race is the essence in creating a more-fulfilling Islamic community.
At the end of the day, mixed emotions were felt by the participants as those life-changing lessons were implanted within their heart. Filled with new hope for a better tomorrow, these new sets of young leaders will In shaa Allah contribute big changes through a different way: leading in an entirely Islamic way, Alhamdulillah!
“ALHAMDULLILLAH! It was indeed a very successful Islamic Leadership Training." said Hasmiene Ibrahim of UVPN SKIA "With the help of ALLAH (SWT), we were able to meet our objectives.
In fact, I received a lot of positive comments from the participants
right after the activity proper. They informed me that they are starting
to leave their lives in an ISLAMIC WAY. They feel how it differs to be
closer to ALLAH, The Most Gracious and The Most Merciful. May HE
continue to ponder guidance among us. In sha ALLAH.”
