• Why Playschools Lay The Foundation for Lifelong Learning: Kelly Eyre

The birds, the bees, and the evergreen trees,
Begin to stir, even the tiny fleas.

Blossoms of green and gold sprout in spring,
So much beauty the new days bring.

Birds return after a long migration,
Adding to the joyous celebration.

From winter’s freeze, a change of mood,
The wild comes alive as creatures seek food
.
After the rain, flowers bloom,
Rains sweep the earth like a new broom.

The earth declares the glory of the Creator.
There is none who is greater.

Zaki Sema

O Allah, forgive our living and our dead, those present and those absent, our young and our old, our males and our females. O Allah, whom amongst us You keep alive, then let such a life be upon Islam, and whom amongst us You take unto Yourself, then let such a death be upon faith. O Allah, do not deprive us of his reward and do not let us stray after him. [Sunan Abi Dawud] (Aameen)

Repeat Offender

A judge scowled down at a repeat offender before him. "Haven't I seen you in here many times already? And didn't I tell you that I never wanted to see you in here again?"

"Yes, Your Honour," the defendant replied. "That's exactly what I told the police officer, but he insisted I come in anyway!"
