Maximizing the Blessed Night of Laylatul Qadr
|
|
This one night is equivalent to 30,000 nights. We should strive to stay up at least on the odd numbered nights of the last ten days of the holy month of Ramadan. If we can not manage that, then let us pray at least on the 27th night. If one prays on all of the odd numbered nights, then there is more of a chance that one may have caught this most powerful night and the reward of over 83 years of worship.
The following 5 acts of Ibadah (worship) will help us cultivate the rewards of such a golden opportunity.
1) Recite the Qur'an abundantly
- Laylatul Qadr is the night the Qur'an was revealed so we should spend much of the night reciting it for we will gain 700 hasanah or more by reciting each letter!
2) Strive to gain forgiveness
- The main Dua for Laylatul Qadr is the following:
- Aisha (RA) said: 'I asked the Messenger of Allah, if i know what night the night of Qadr, what should I say during it?' He said: 'Say: O Allah, You are pardoning and You love to pardon, so pardon me.'
3) Do many Nawafil (novelty) Prayers
- In this most blessed month of Ramadan, all good deeds are multiplied by 70 or more. Every Nafil one prays, will gain the reward of a Fard Salah and every Fard Salah is the reward of 70 Fard Salah.
4) Increase in Dhiker (Remembrance of Allah SWT)
- We should glorify Allah night and day, especially in the last odd nights.
5) Make much Dua
- We should be very busy in Dua as much as we can especially in the last 10 odd numbered days. Therefore let us devote much of the night of Qadr in Dua asking of Allah (SWT) for His mercy and forgiveness for all of our past sins and making firm intentions to Allah that we will change for the better and strive to become closer to him as well as make Islam as our main way of life.
May Allah SWT accept our Seyam and Qiyam. May He make us among those who will cultivate the rewards of this great night.

High School Engineering Program
|
|
We are excited to offer a high-quality, design-based high school engineering program, starting next year!! Engineer Your World: Engineering Design and Analysis is a hands-on, design-based, inquiry-focused engineering course for all learners. In this course, students discover the engineering design process, make data-driven decisions, and work in multi-level teams to solve complex challenges.
Developed by a team of University of Texas faculty, NASA engineers, and secondary teachers working with funding from the National Science Foundation, Engineer Your World is an innovative, student-centered curriculum that engages learners in authentic engineering experiences and inspires them to embrace an engineer’s habits of mind. Collaborative, student-directed projects build resilient problem-solving skills and empower students to think like engineers, to adopt engineering processes, and to pursue engineering disciplines for the betterment of our world
Students in EYW: Engineering Design & Analysis may apply for a dual-enrollment opportunity at UT Austin or UT San Antonio. University students who take ES 301 at UT Austin complete the same projects and assignments as high school students in EYW: Engineering Design & Analysis, plus additional assignments that require analysis of their design process, reflections on learning, and demonstration of deeper content understanding. High school students who dual enroll in the online ES 301 course also complete these higher-level assignments, which are graded by the same instructor who teaches ES 301 at UT Austin. Experiencing authentic college-level assignments and expectations while still in high school prepares students for a successful transition to college coursework.
The class will be offered to our 12th graders (24 spots only) and will be co-taught by Ms. Qamar Madani and Ms. Sofia Zamir
