MISSION FAJR 2024: 1000 MS STUDENTS UNITE IN PRAYER FOR FAJR
The historic Mecca Masjid was filled with devotion this morning as over 1,000 students from MS Education Academy congregated to offer the Fajr prayer, showcasing their deep commitment to faith. As part of the 40-day initiative Mission Fajr the students along with their parents, were invited to participate in this special congregation. The event saw over 2,000 people in attendance, creating a spiritually uplifting atmosphere.
Mission Fajr was launched at MS three years ago with the goal of nurturing in students the lifelong habit of offering prayers. The initiative also aims to highlight the benefits of maintaining a disciplined routine, encouraging students to go to bed early and wake up early for a healthier and more productive lifestyle.
This academic year, Mission Fajr at MS Education Academy begins on November 11, 2024, encouraging students to rise early each day, not only to perform their Fajr prayer but also to embrace a lifestyle rooted in faith, devotion, and discipline. The program highlights the spiritual significance of prayer, guiding students to seek the countless virtues and blessings bestowed by Allah Almighty.
As part of MS Education Academy’s Mission Fajr 2024, students were invited to offer Fajr prayer at the historic Mecca Masjid today. The prayer was led by the mosque’s Imam, Maulana Latif Ahmed Sahib. Following the prayer, Maulana Latif commended MS Education Academy for their 40-day Mission Fajr initiative and congratulated for fostering a spirit of devotion among students. He emphasized that those who offer Fajr prayers will be in the responsibility of Allah Almighty and highlighted the importance of Fajr in the light of Hadith. Maulana Latif expressed his belief that this initiative would inspire students to develop the habit of waking up early and staying committed to Fajr prayers throughout their lives.
The students’ enthusiasm was palpable as they gathered to offer Fajr prayers at Mecca Masjid. Reflecting on their forty-day journey with Mission Fajr, they described the experience as deeply fulfilling. Many highlighted the joy of adopting a disciplined routine, noting the beauty of going to bed early, waking up refreshed for Fajr prayers, and starting their day with devotion and serenity.
The parents who accompanied the students on this special occasion expressed immense pride in their children’s dedication. They shared how, despite the cold weather, the students woke up early and prepared with enthusiasm for the prayers. Some parents revealed that they had traveled as far as 30 kilometers with their children to participate in the Fajr prayers at Mecca Masjid, underscoring their commitment to this meaningful initiative.
Managing Directors of MS Education Academy Anwar Ahmed and Dr. Moazzam Hussain, along with Junior Directors Mohammed Owais Khan and Mohammed Ilyas Khan, were present on this occasion to encourage and welcome the students and their parents.
On this occasion, Dr. Moazzam Hussain shared his thoughts, praising the growing strength of the Mission Fajr initiative each year. He expressed delight at witnessing the dedication of the students, noting their remarkable enthusiasm despite the challenges of waking up early and traveling long distances. Reflecting on the large congregation of students at Mecca Masjid, Dr. Moazzam Hussain remarked that MS Education Academy’s Mission Fajr has successfully inspired students, parents, and the wider community to recognize and embrace the significance of Fajr prayers.
Mr. Anwar Ahmed highlighted that the primary goal of Mission Fajr is to cultivate discipline, devotion, and a profound connection with Allah Almighty in students through the practice of prayer. He expressed pride in the overwhelming response from both students and their parents toward this initiative. Mr. Ahmed shared his hope that, as students and their families leave the historic Mecca Masjid after offering Fajr prayers, they will carry with them a renewed commitment to incorporate all obligatory prayers, alongside Fajr, into their daily routines as a lifelong habit.
