"In the Name of
Allah, The Compassionate, The Merciful"
on the 20th of March, 2001, Ahlul-Bayt Center made the first payment
towards acquiring the school building on 200 Baribeau St, Ottawa. The
amount paid is $450,000, collected from donations, khums, and loans. The
borrowed money makes %20 of the first payment. As part of the agreement
with the school board, Ahlul-Bayt Center has a grace period of a year to
complete the deal; i.e. pay the remaining $125,000 of the school price
amounting to $575,000. The school building is now under our possession,
but the registration will proceed once we provide the final amount.
Ahlul-Bayt Center is still looking for funding sources through donations
and khums to close the debt and make the final payment, especially after
considering the interest accumulation on part of the loan. Our target for
next year is to collect $200,000. InshaAllah, we will make it with Allah's
support manifested by your generosity and care for this Islamic
work.
Ahlul-Bayt Center is calling on every believer, who heard about the school
project, to have a stake in the heavenly awards generated by a work meant
to educate Muslim kids about their faith and moral values. May Allah
include us all in his mercy and redeem our work by his awards. It is every
Muslim's duty to support and preserve the Islamic schools in Ottawa and
other cities. The bottom line is that a sincere Islamic education counts
in raising Muslim kids based on Quranic teachings and Islamic Moral
values.
