The month of May commenced into the second half of Ramadan. Daily posters and weekly articles were published. A series of videos based on Laylatul Qadr were uploaded on our YouTube channel during the last ten days of Ramadan, to encourage girls to utilise their time to the fullest. The topics were on the significance of Laylatul Qadr, how to make the best of the last ten nights of Ramadan and more. GIO Chennai also organised an essentials drive to collect donations online with the aim of helping those in need.
As Ramadan came to an end, news of increasing violence against the Palestinian people came to view. To display our solidarity with the Palestinian cause, “Eid with Palestine” poster and video were circulated on our social media pages. The aim of this was to raise awareness on the issue and stand with our brothers and sisters during their time of difficulty.
Tafseer and book discussion classes continued for members and applicant members throughout the month of May. Weekly classes were conducted in several areas of Chennai and daily news was posted on our YouTube channel. Alhamdulillah.
Additionally, the month of June kick-started with an "E-Certified Summer Islamic Class" organised by GIO Chennai exclusively for girls from 13 onwards and an "E-Certified Children Summer Islamic Classes" for kids of age between 5 to 12 was organized as well.
The responses were divided into six groups depending on age and language preferred. On account of an overwhelming response, two batches were successfully held. Alhamdulillah.
At the end of the course, a quiz competition was conducted to checkout their understanding. Later, an Article Review Competition was held, where students had to review one article posted on the website. As prize, the winner’s review of the same was posted on our official blog. Students were also given certificates for their participation, winning, attendance, interaction, punctuality, etc.
Apart from the above, weekly classes were held in different areas of Chennai for members and associates, news was read in English and Tamil on alternate days which was then posted on our YouTube channel (True Way of Life) regularly. Improvement classes for members and membership classes applicant members were carried on at its own pace as well. Alhamdulillah.
