SNMC Vision: Outreach by Scholarship
SNMC is a Canadian Registered Charity organization and has been distributing scholarships to students for the last 20 years in Ottawa.
As part of outreach activities in 2018, SNMC is planning to spend $50,000, a total of 73 scholarships, to award scholarships to students at Carleton U, Ottawa U, Algonquin College, Public High Schools. These scholarships will be distributed by schools to any Canadian of any ethnicity or any faith or no faith.
The first four successors of Muhammad: Abu Bakr al-Siddiq, Umar ibn al-Khattab, Uthman ibn Affan, and Ali ibn Abi Talib.
All were prominent Companions of Muhammad and belonged to the tribe of Quraysh. The period of their rule is considered a golden age when the caliphs were consciously guided by Muhammad’s practices. The period saw the establishment of Arab Muslim rule over the heartlands of the Middle East and preparation for conquests and expansion carried out under subsequent dynasties. Umar is portrayed as the dominant personality among the caliphs, establishing many of the fundamental institutions of the classical Islamic state. Uthman is generally held responsible for the canonization of the Quran as it is known today. He is described as personally pious but lacking the character needed to withstand unscrupulous relatives. Uthman’s murder by malcontents opened a period of fitnah (disorder, civil war), which brought about the disintegration of the previously united community, the takeover of the caliphate by the Umayyad family, and the end of the era of Arabia-centered Islam.
SNMC Spiritual: Good Friday, Easter Sunday and Islam
Canada is a tolerant country where Christians and Muslims and other faiths live side by side peacefully.
Christians and Muslims all believe and love Mariam (Mary) and Eyssa (Jesus) and millions Muslim keep Mariam and Eyssa as their names.
Christians believe Jesus was crucified on Easter Friday and he sacrificed his life to wipe out the sins of all Christians and he was resurrected on Easter Sunday. That is why the Easter egg symbolically shows new life.
Muslim believe Prophet Eyssa was not crucified, someone resembling him was crucified and God took him to heaven. He will come again to rule the world for 40 years.

| Imam Zijad’s Corner: Righteousness is Good Character
Reported by Al-Nawwaas ibn Samaan (r) that Muhammad (S) said: “Righteousness is a good character.” (Muslim) Transliteration: “At-Taqwa Husnul Khuluq.” Note: The Arabic word birr translated here as ‘righteousness’ can be used in two senses. The first is to mean treating others in a good fashion, in particular one’s parents, though more generally it means to behave well towards everyone. When birr is used in this fashion in the Qur’an it is usually used in conjunction with tawqa or awareness of God Who says in the Qur’an: “Help you one another in righteousness and awareness of God” [Surah Al Maidah:2] The second sense in which the word birr is used is to refer to acts of worship and obedience to God both inward and outward. The concept of righteousness then, incorporates treating others in the best way possible, believing in God and all that He has revealed, giving in charity, keeping promises, being truthful, patient and performing acts of obedience and worship of God. The concept of character (in Arabic khuluq) in Islam incorporates a combination of understanding, intention and deeds with the last two aspects playing the most important role. If a person has good intentions followed by good deeds, it is said that they have good character. If a person has bad intentions followed by bad deeds it is said that they have a bad character. |
