You will enter as you are.
Either knowing or waiting to be discovered.
Apathy is not welcome here. We know. You will be asked to hand me your dears, personally. Then, take your dreams. Though, not from me. Only you know where to find them.
Then, hold them. Embrace them. Because your lives are my responsibility for those hours you spend in my world. A world where dreamers are awake and leaders are righteous.
And it is my promise that I will not fail you. For what you are becoming is who you were undiscovered. I know that. And I will speak to that person. To live eternally in the pages of history books, to leave a lasting legacy is not an easy matter. But when you leave, gripping greatness under your palms, a fire in your heart, you will realized that you must accept your destiny as only being great, as what you will accomplish as only being done with excellence. I, also, promise not to give you your fears back. They are where they belong: far and irretrievable. As they should be.

Imagine a masjid where an imam leads salah while he holds a child in his arms. Imagine a masjid where the cry of a baby changes the imam’s intention and shortens the prayer for the entire congregation.

This was the Masjid of the Prophet, may peace and blessings be upon him. These examples are mentioned in the following hadith:

Lorsqu'il s'agit de la commercialisation à grande échelle des produits et services Halal dans les pays non musulmans, l'Europe, en particulier la France, semble être très en avance sur le Canada en tout cas. Trouver des produits de grande consommation Halal relève d'un vrai parcours du combattant, parsemés d'embûches plus effrayants les uns que les autres. Même si quelques chaînes d'alimentation commencent à percer le marché en offrant quelques rares produits préparés surgelés, voire des viandes emballées au rayon Boucherie, beaucoup de chemin reste à faire en termes de qualité et de diversité. En effet, les musulmans du Canada continuent de dépendre largement des boucheries-épiceries Halal du coin pour s'approvisionner.
