The Chancellor’s Message

In the name of Allah, the Most Beneficent, the Most Merciful

Chancellor Ameen Ajeel Yasir

“Say, ‘Are those who know equal to those who do not know?’ Indeed, only those who possess intellect take heed.” (Qur’an, Surah Az-Zumar 39:9)

Praise be to Allah in the beginning and the end. He has raised some people by knowledge and humbled others by ignorance. He has made the light of knowledge a lamp to guide the perplexed.
May the prayers and peace be upon the trustworthy guide, Abu al-Zahraa Muhammad, the Prophet Muhammad, peace be upon him and his family, and his noble companions, and those who follow them with goodness until the Day of Judgment
