بِسْمِ اللَّـهِ الرَّحْمَـٰنِ الرَّحِيمِ
يَا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا كُونُوا قَوَّامِينَ بِالْقِسْطِ شُهَدَاءَ لِلَّهِ وَلَوْ عَلَىٰ أَنفُسِكُمْ أَوِ الْوَالِدَيْنِ وَالْأَقْرَبِينَ ۚ إِن يَكُنْ غَنِيًّا أَوْ فَقِيرًا فَاللَّهُ أَوْلَىٰ بِهِمَا ۖ فَلَا تَتَّبِعُوا الْهَوَىٰ أَن تَعْدِلُوا ۚ وَإِن تَلْوُوا أَوْ تُعْرِضُوا فَإِنَّ اللَّهَ كَانَ بِمَا تَعْمَلُونَ خَبِيرًا
O you who believe! Be maintainers of justice, bearers of witness of Allah’s sake, though it may be against your own selves or (your) parents or near relatives; if he be rich or poor, Allah is nearer to them both in compassion; therefore, do not follow (your) low desires, lest you deviate; and if you swerve or turn aside, then surely Allah is aware of what you do.
Asalaam alaikum! My name is Seif Seif, I am the father of an Al-Iman School Alumni and a current student at the school.
I studied Economics in the Faculty of Commerce at Alexandria University, but I grew up in a family of general contractors. I grew up loving the smell of construction materials and helping in the family business. My father was a builder, and most of my uncles were builders. My upbringing left a mark on me that lasts until today and gave me a love for construction.
With the help of Allah, Subhanahu wa Ta’ala, my family and I established a construction company. I love being part of a project from start to finish. Seeing a project through to its conclusion affirms my vision of what could be. My most joyful project, however, is ongoing—it is raising my children! I have watched them grow, be nurtured, and be taught by Al-Iman School teachers, staff, and our IAR community. Interaction with the Muslims in the community has left an impression on my children and led them to always strive to become better Muslims. Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) taught us that no one will reach Iman (true faith) unless they love for their brother (and sister) what they love for themselves. I hope my role on the Al-Iman School Committee will help me achieve that level of Iman.
I love working with the ASC team to establish beneficial strategies that will constantly improve the Islamic environment for all of our students so they grow good manners, develop strong Islamic ethics, and obtain an excellent education. The ASC team is here to create policies that help the school provide support to parents during and outside school hours so their kids have a wholesome Islamic environment where they can flourish.
For the staff, we aim to provide a fair, comfortable, and supportive work environment, in addition to ensuring the budget is upheld and kept sustainable. My promise to all the stakeholders of this community that we all love is to support and help Al-Iman School to the best of my ability. May Allah, Subhanahu wa Ta’ala, accept our deeds purely for the sake of His pleasure. Ameen.
