Supporting culturally responsive teaching for Muslim learners & equipping Islamic schools with standards-aligned curriculum for quality teaching, إن شاء الله.
May Allah bless you for this benefit, Shaykh Mustafa. I was recently telling a group of students the advantages of putting down devices and picking up a pen, as man was taught by the pen. Here are a few points I mentioned:
[1] Studies suggest handwriting activates regions of the brain that help with memory, making longhand notes more effective for retaining information. Years ago, I heard Shaykh al-Albani say, “Indeed, computers make a person dim-witted.” The Shaykh said this in the context of research and memorization. Unfortunately, total reliance on electronic devices has made many doltish.
[2] Longhand writing forces you to slow down and process information and reduces distractions like scrolling and surfing.
[3] The act of writing, improves fine motor skills, especially for young children. (Some states are bringing back cursive writing courses in elementary schools.) Handwriting also helps develop hand-eye coordination.
This is a prime example of why it is so important for our Muslim youth to attend Islamic Schools.
If the family is able to relocate to the Baltimore area we will offer her a full scholarship to attend @Tawheed1Academy for the 2024-2025 school year إن شاء الله
We visited @Tawheed1Academy school in Maryland on Wednesday.
An amazing school with children learning in a safe and beneficial environment. اللهم بارك.
One of the students, a 12 year old girl, memorized an entire poem about things which are specific to Prophet Muhammad ﷺ written by Shaykh Ahmad Al-Najmi.
There are many teachers and helpers working diligently behind the scenes in our communities to educate the children.
Better networking and cooperation among educators and teachers will enhance these programs - insha Allah.
May Allah bless everyone involved in these efforts.

With the ongoing influences around our children today we at ULC want to thank our beloved Ustadh Maaz Qureshi for speaking to the children about the origins of Halloween and the importance of not partaking in these pagan festivities. These were some of the benefits gained.
