"There has to be a nation among you summoning to the good, bidding

felicitous." (Aale Imran:104) 3 Slide 4 Mission To create a group
of people who First learn Al-Quran and act upon it Then get
training And afterwards teach others in the community. Hazrat
Ali(R.A) said that the Messenger of Allah said to him: If Allah
guides a man through your help, it is better (for you) than red
camels. [Bukahari and Muslim] 4 Slide 5 Goal To Serve Humanity
through Education Social welfare Abu Hurayra reported that the
Messenger of Allah said, "Anyone who calls others to guidance will
have the same reward as those who follow him, without that
decreasing their reward in any way." [Muslim] 5 Slide 6 Step 1 : Do
Istikhara Hazrat Jabir RA narrates: Prophet Muhammad SW used to
teach us istekhara like he (sw) used to teach us a surah of Quran.
He (sw) said whenever anyone among you wants to decide something he
should pray two rakahs other than obligatory prayer and say the
following dua: 6 Slide 7 Dua Istekharah: 7 Slide 8 Step 2: Do
Mashwara What is Mashwara? Mashwara literary means Consultation and
Suggestion. In Islam it has a broader and special meaning. It is a
Command of Allah SWT and described as a quality of Muslims. 8 Slide
9 Importance Of Mashwara Those who answer their Lord, establish the
prayers, and their affairs are by consultation; who spend of that
which We have given them. (al-Shura: 38) 9 Slide 10 Importance Of
Mashwara contd... It is narrated by Abu Hurairah Radiyallahu anhu
that I did not see anyone consulting so frequently with his
companions, as Rasulullah Sallallahu alaihi wasallam did. (Tirmidi)
10 Slide 11 With whom to do Mashwara ? Prophet (SW) used to do
mashwara with his companions and wives and all sincere ones. Do
Mashwarah with the persons who are Sincere Neutral Not competitive
Honest trustworthy 11 Slide 12 Step 3: Getting Approval Get the
approval from the institute for the new course. Fill the proposal
form and request administration for the permission to start a new
course. 12 Slide 13 Step 4: Meeting After getting approval from

Slide 14 Team Work In Islam, Allah (SWT) gives us the gift of
brotherhood and encourages us to do things in a group setting or
Team Work. Examples where Islam encourages team spirit are Jamaat
prayers and Hajj Pilgrimage. In fact, if we fail to work
effectively as a member of team, we fail to understand the true
meaning of "Ummah (collectively united Community)" in Islam. 14
Slide 15 Importance of Team Work "And hold fast all together by the
rope which Allah (stretches out for you) and be not divided among
yourselves; and remember with gratitude Allah's favor on you; for
you were enemies and He joined your hearts in love so that by His
grace you became brethren; and you were on the brink of the pit of
fire and He saved you from it. Thus Allah makes his signs clear to
you: that you may be guided." ( Aale Imran 103) Prophet Muhammad
(pbuh) said: Faithful believers are to each other as the bricks of
a wall, supporting and reinforcing each other. So saying, the
Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) clasped his hands by interlocking his
fingers. [Sahih al-Bukhari] 15 Slide 16 Advertisement of the Course
Call unto the way of your Lord with wisdom and fair exhortation,
and reason with them in the better way. Lo! Your Lord is Best Aware
of him who strayeth from His way, and He is best aware of those who
go aright. (An Nahl 125) 16 Slide 17 Advertisement of the Course
contd... Aim of Advertisement is to let people know about the new
course. Ask institute about the Flyer format. After getting
approved flyer from the institute, make desired changes in it. Once
flyer is finalised, advertise it in person or on web etc.. 17 Slide
18 Planning of the Course Planning provides a clear sense of
direction to the activities of the course. It strengthens incharges
confidence in understanding where the course is heading and what
for, how best to make the course move along the chosen path, and
when should they take what measures to achieve the goals of the
institution. Prophet Muhammad (SW) said There is no intelligence
like planning, No nobility like good character, No piety like
restraint.''- (Bayhaqi, shu'ab al-iman) 18 Slide 19 Types of

a very light and easy session. Even very little efforts of the
students should be appreciated. To make the session effective start
