The Prophet, صلى الله عليه وسلم, said, “The one who cares for an orphan and myself will be together in Paradise like this,” and he held his two fingers together to illustrate. [Bukhari]

There is a huge parallel between raising an orphan and fostering a child. They are similar in ways that we do not often think about.  How much importance do we place on the subject of fostering? Is there a need for foster parents in the Muslim community?Join us for a workshop on Thursday, August 9, 6:00 pm to 8:00 pm, at Al Huda Institute, 5671 McAdam Road, Mississauga, to learn more about foster care-giving, and how to become a foster caregiver. Get all your questions answered by a panel of speakers including social workers from a fostering agency, and Muslims who are currently involved in foster care. RSVP now.

Are you an ambitious Millenial? Do you want to enjoy the finer things in life? In this age of social media and technology there are endless possibilities: Financial freedom, entrepreneurship, global travel, weekend adventures and unique social experiences are at your fingertips. However, some things we aren’t taught are the Self-Care Essentials needed to live that spectacular life we all want.  Illness can come without warning and if you don’t adapt adequate self-care routines now, you may be unconsciously putting yourself on the edge of burnout, fatigue, mental illness or injury.

In this workshop you’ll learn a Self-Care Blueprint, specific to Millenials. We will touch upon stress, sleep, mood, energy, nutrition, productivity, and self-awareness. You will walk away confidently knowing what you need to do to live a healthy and meaningful life.
