My [AWIS] Kids

A teacher is a little girl who had a bit more time to grow up than everybody.  One of her greatest assets is her knowledge and her experience - she has learned from her personal observations and her mistakes. A small boy knows he can bring his troubles to his teacher and she'll understand. She will help him plan and make his dreams a reality. She will never expect the boy to be perfect the way his parents sometimes do, but grace him to become better each day. A little girl knows no one can tell better stories than her. Troubles fade in her arms. Anything is possible when she is there. And she can always be counted on to take the underdog's part. Lucky, indeed, is a kid who can carry a good teacher image into the long hard years ahead - Asfiya 

For a teacher, her students are her biggest gift. They are like her own children; a part of her. She views each one of them is like beautiful shells; unique and vibrant. She notices and enhances their thoughts and manners. She awakens their Fitrah. She gives them positive image Muslims, and mends their broken ideas about Islam. She rekindles their enthusiasm for Paradise. She stands at the crossroads of the past and present, sculpturing her children for the future. She fashions their minds with care, Darussalam books and Da'wah experiences. With a guiding hand and gentle loving heart, she is there day after day to deft, polish and smooth them. She decorates them with love of Allah, His Book and His Messenger (s.a.w). She moulds them into good deeds. She works and aches so they can succeed.

Dear AWIS Kids ... I miss all of you everyday. I cannot express my sadness over parting from you. You were a marvelous bunch, all ninety-nine of you. We shared a kind of rapport that is only felt between close family members and friends. I remember Hazim, Hasan and Shaheer playing soccer with an eraser in the hallway. Farwah's jokes, Afra's beautiful handwriting and Hadia dropping cake crumbs on the table. I remember Fatima's speeches, Hafsa K's drawing and Sumaiya's serious smile. Huzaifa's funny car stories, Nabeeha's answers and Ahsan's cap. I never imagined how a few weekends together will change all of us. Insensibly, so many Qur'an verses and hadith stories intertwined, embedded their lessons in each of us. If I could change anything, I would teach you everyday, share with you my lunch and watch your presentations still. I would stick around to answer your questions and take you to conferences, museums and parks. We would do homework together and play football...You will remain an unforgettable part of my life. May Allah bless you and protect you all aameen.
