Alhamdu Lillahi Rabbil Alameen. We are very excited to be part of this Program that will Insha-Allah improve the direction of our communities in the future. More than that, we are looking forward to being part of the first batch of students who Insha-Allah will shape this course making it easier for the rest of the students who decide to embark on this journey. We know that it will not be all smooth sailing; however, we are confident in knowing that there will at least be a boat for us to sail on. Whatever else happens is now in the hands of Allah (SWT).

To survive as a vibrant living entity, the community has no choice but to keep abreast of the changes around it, understand the impact of the modern era and adapt to the changing world. To that end, in 2002 The World Federation initiated the process of deliberating upon the framework within which we may begin making gradual changes so that the needs of the community were adequately catered for in the future. This was the motivation for us to engage the community in a Strategic Planning exercise and solicit input and involvement of the grass root members of the community.
