-CHAIRMAN'S MESSAGE -

In recent years there has been numerous catastrophes in the Muslim world.

Although some are caused by natural disasters, such as the many thousands who were killed by the earthquakes, the human beings against their fellow men cause the vast majority of deaths, injuries and economic destruction.

It is estimated that ninety percent of refugees in the world today are Muslim.

Muslims should not be surprised by these calamities, however, because Allah subhanaha wata'da told us in the Qur'an Surah 29, (Al-Ankabut,) Ayah 2 {Do men think that they will be left alone on saying " We believe" and that they will not be tested?}. Again, Surah 2. (Al Baqara), Ayah 155 Mankind is warned."Be sure We shall test you with something of fear and hunger some loss in goods or lives or the fruit (of your toil) but give glad tidings to those who patiently persevere.

Human suffering offer Us an opportunity to offset some of the mistakes we make in Our lives. When We respond by assisting those less fortunate We alleviate their suffering and cancel some of Our sins.

-IN CANADA: WHO ARE WE ?-

The President of the school came to Canada last March 1999 in a donation campaign. After reporting that the school is undergoing a very bad financial situation and that it will be too hard to keep going on under such circumstances.

As a response to that URGENT call from the orphans and needy in Lebanon,

A number of Muslims, Who are resident in Canada, came up with the idea of establishing:
