Please make dua for the success of this newsletter. May Allah make it a means for us to pass on the knowledge we learned.

[Sr. Reehab]

Let me be the first to say...at least on the forums---Im IN! =D

Sharing the Khair! Taking the blessings that Allah has given us and being generous--by publishing a piece of work that will reach people all over spreading knowledge and bringing about smiles!

As we learned in Precious Provisions.... Be generous with the blessings Allah has given you, and Allah will be generous with you!

[sbegum]

Wa alaykum assalam wa rehmatullahi wa barakatuh,

Jazaki Allahu khair for taking the initiative to head this project. Do you have an approximate deadline for article submission?

We will try to aim to have the articles in before Eid, about two weeks from now. I think Saturday September 5 is a good deadline? We will set a date at the meeting
