Friends of Talimi Haq School

This is a good opportunity to express our deepest gratitude to Friends of Talimi Haq School from all over the world.

Last year, following an urgent appeal for financial help to secure our school premises, we were blessed to get an immediate response from them.

We vacated our old premises in April and moved to a temporary accommodation. And in November 2005, we shifted to the new premises. We have more space than we had earlier, two large, airy rooms on the first floor.

Our friends’ donations have also provided the running expenses since last year.

Earlier this year, we were fortunate to receive Nazmuddin Munshi’s father’s zakaat contribution, towards our running expenses. This year he hopes to give us the zakaat of other family members too. It’s a modest beginning, but zakaat could be a good means for the sustenance of our school, which is dedicated to enabling opportunties for growth and learning to children from poor Muslim households.
