WELCOME MESSAGE Dear brothers and sisters, and our dearest of all - children and grandchildren, I hope and pray that we all gathered here for this convention in the best of faith and well-being. It always gives me great pleasure, joy, and happiness, to welcome you all to the ISNA Canada Convention. More so, there is a special place in my heart for our youth on whose shoulders this convention is carried. This year’s theme: Principles of Success – Leading with Love & Faith, truly reflects our aspirations, hopes, and advanced outlook on leadership. Allah (SWT) says in Surah Ali-Imran (Chapter 3: Verse 200): يَا أَي ُّهَا ال َّذِ ينَ آمَنُوا اصْ برِ ُوا وَصَ ابِرُوا وَرَابِطُوا وَات َّقُوا الل َّهَ لَعَل َّكُمْ تُفْلِحُونَ O you who have believed, persevere and endure and remain stationed and fear Allah that you may be successful. The meaning behind this verse is profound. Allah (SWT) tells us that if we believe, persevere, endure, remain stationed, and fear Allah (SWT) that we will truly find success. Add to this our Islamic principle of leading with faith and love, then the possibilities of success are truly endless – here in North America and abroad. Allah (SWT) also says in Surah At-Tawbah (Chapter 9: Verse 105): وَقُلِ اعْمَلُوا فَسَريََى الل َّهُ عَمَلَكُمْ وَرَسُ ولُهُ وَالْمُؤْمِنُونَ وَسَترُ َد ُّونَ إِلىَٰ عَالِمِ الْغَيْبِ وَالش َّهَادَةِ فَيُنَب ِّئُكُم مبِ َا كُنتُمْ تَعْمَلُونَ And say, "Do [as you will], for Allah will see your deeds, and [so, will] His Messenger and the believers. And you will be returned to the Knower of the unseen and the witnessed, and He will inform you of what you used to do.” May Allah (SWT) give us the guidance and patience to carry on this work. May He (SWT) provide us with the wisdom, intellect, and capacity to lead with love and faith – in our homes, communities, institutions, and all levels of governance. On behalf of the entire convention team, we thank you for spending this weekend with us and hope you have a spiritually uplifting and intellectually enriching experience – all while building community and togetherness, inshaAllah. With warmest regards, Abdalla Idris Ali Executive Director - ISNA Canada 3
