By the grace of the Almighty, Darul Qur’an Institute hosted its 6th annual “Show ‘N’ Shine” family event on August 28th.
There were hundreds in attendance enjoying the many different vehicles and enjoying the delicious food which included BBQ chicken, burgers, fries, dessert and ice cream. The kids got to enjoy the bouncy castle, face painting, train ride, table tennis, pool, basketball and cold treats!
Officers from the RCMP & the Transit police were also present with information on gang violence and community programs. They had booths setup with gifts & freebies for the kids such as water bottles, key chains & wrist bands!
The attendees included Muslims and non-muslims, members of the local church, local scholars & politicians and many new faces. We prayed Dhuhr Salaah together and afterwards learned about the importance of Salah and upcoming events.
Shaykh Anees also gave a brief intro of our institute and what our students learn. The purpose of this event was to bring the community together and get them talking about their faith and Allah.
By far, the biggest attraction was the dunk tank!
It was great to see our local scholars sacrifice themselves for a noble cause!
All the proceeds from this event helps Darul Qur’an Institute of Islamic Studies.
