Allhumma Solli A’la Muhammad wa a’la ali Muhammad kama sollaita a’la ibrahim wa a’la ali Ibrahim fil a’lamina innaka hamidun Majjid.

 

Assalamualaikumwarahmatullahiwabarakatuh, good morning/afternoon…Our Honorable guests Madam Qutren Nada Ahmad, CEO CIC Group of Companies, Mr Azizi Ahmad, Executive Director CIC Group of Companies…. Fellow Franchisees, representative of Abedeen Academy, dear parents, teachers, and our young leaders…

 

Today, I’m very happy and determined as we come together to celebrate the graduation of our young leaders from CIC Where Leaders Are Born. This year, our teachers and young leaders have demonstrated great dedication and perseverance. I’d also like to congratulate all of you for your strong support and dedication to your children’s education, which has played a key role in their success today. The teachers worked hard to ensure every child enjoyed their time in CIC while focusing on the quality of learning. Congratulations to all teachers and Young Leaders! All your hard work and dedication has not gone unnoticed. Today marks a big step toward your bright future, InsyaAllah.

 

Dear parents,

As you can see from the screen, apart from our ongoing campaign Childhood Is Crucial, this year’s theme will be focusing on “The Glory of Allah,” Let’s think about the word, بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم  “In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.” Solely, from this word, we can understand that Allah is the one who brings creations from nonexistence to life, who provides the means for the creations to continue life and who will forgive our sins in the Hereafter. From just this holy word, it reflects Allah’s kindness, His benevolence that is everywhere, even in difficult times. Everything in the world and the Hereafter shows how amazing Allah is.

 

Dear Parents,

In life, we should remember that nothing really belongs to us. Our abilities, talents, and even our successes are gifts from Allah. When we appreciate the beauty in the world, the goodness in others, and the talents in ourselves, we are essentially praising Allah.

In all moments of lives, we want our young leaders to always remember Allah in everything they do. When things are tough, they should know     لا اله الا الله (“there’s no god but Allah) When they’re worried, they shall remember ما شاء الله.”it’s what Allah wills.” When good things happen,  الحمد لله, it’s “thanks to Allah”! In times of success, الشكر لله “praise be to Allah.” When they see something amazing, سبحان الله “Allah is perfect.” When they make mistakes, استغفرالله “I seek forgiveness from Allah.” In hard times, they should remember انا لله و إنا اليه راجعون “we belong to Allah and to Him, we will return.” When they need help, توكلت على الله they should turn to Allah, and always remember that all power is with Allah, the Most High, the Most Powerful,

 لا حول ولا قوة الا بالله العلى العظيم.

 

This core belief helps them understand that all things belong to Allah. This understanding keeps them away from being arrogant, egoistic, and selfish. Our goal at CIC is to nurture young leaders who are compassionate, selfless, and full of humility, for it is through these qualities that we can help solve many issues that afflict our world today.

 

Dear parents,

In today’s world, we see how egoism, selfishness, and self-interest cause suffering, just like how we can see it now, in the ongoing tragedy in Palestine. The acts of violence and harm to vulnerable people show how selfishness leads to terrible suffering. It is the same selfishness that often makes us choose what helps us and ignore what doesn’t, even if it’s the right thing to do. If we still hold onto our selfishness, we will unfortunately remain in this dark place. On the other hand, believers (Mu’mineen), grounded in their faith, will not engage in such conflicts because they understand the value of selflessness and working for the sake of Allah. They unite around a shared purpose and direction, free from the darkness of selfishness.

 

 

At CIC, we’re determined to develop our young leaders with values and beliefs that will break this cycle. Today, as we celebrate their success, we look forward to a brighter future where selflessness and the acknowledgment of Allah’s greatness are most important.  As at CIC, future leaders are born, we are sending them into the world, with hope that they will live by these principles and inspire others to do the same.

 

In conclusion, let’s remember that “The Glory of Allah” isn’t just a theme – it’s a way of life. Let us guide our children together, so we work toward a kinder world, InsyaAllah. Finally, let us all remember to keep our Palestinian brothers and sisters in our thoughts and prayers. Al Fatihah.

 

Thank you.

Assalamualaikum wrt wbt 

Alhamdulillah & Selawat 

 

Today, I would like to congratulate our teachers, parents, and especially our Young Leaders who had completed their studies and lessons with CIC Where Leaders Are Born! Despite the challenges of the pandemic that we faced, Alhamdulillah, we managed to complete it with flying colors. Congratulations again Young Leaders! 

 

Dear parents, 

This year our teachers and Young leaders have demonstrated great dedication, perseverance and worked incredibly hard to overcome many challenges including managing physical activities as well as adapting to online classes. For instance, even through online sessions, our Young Leaders are exposed to many science concepts and manage to do a lot of Steam &  Stem activities.  

Moreover, I am beyond proud to see our Young Leaders’ overwhelming participation in creating their own “Magical Book,” which I believe is very helpful in giving them the exposure and experience they need in their early years. Indeed, today I have witnessed the positive growth demonstrated by our Young Leaders. Congratulations again to all teachers and Young Leaders! All of your hard work and dedication has not gone unnoticed, and it brings me great happiness to see you all achieve such success.  

 

Dear parents,  

This year we are celebrating our 25th year of anniversary. For us, being in the education industry for 25 years means that we have become a trusted brand among parents. It also means CIC continuously adheres to constant innovation as we have always made sure that we adapt to the most effective teaching approaches to stay relevant and ensure CIC’s prolonged existence. Striving for 25 years also proves that we have always been adding values and benefiting the community at large. We have become the leader in the industry, as many other industry players are also following our footsteps and looking up to CIC as the model of success.  

I would also like to take this opportunity to express my highest gratitude to all our parents who have been supporting us since the beginning. I have noticed that for the past 25 years, our valuable parents have viewed CIC as part of their self-image and reflected their personalities. I believe our positive parents hold good quality of characters and come from good families, InshaAllah. Most of our parents are advanced or maybe leaders of their communities. I could see that all our parents shared our mission and vision. Thank you again! 

 

Dear parents, 

We are excited to let you know that for this upcoming year, our academic team especially, have been planning to offer a lot more exciting activities for our students! Therefore, I look forward to seeing most of the children continue with CIC Where Leaders Are Born.  

I would also like to take this opportunity to announce that we are launching new CIC campaigns for 2022! Our new campaigns are Childhood Is Crucial and Cheerful Innovative Classroom! Though most of you may probably already be aware of it.  

 

Through the campaign of Childhood Is Crucial, we want to deliver and advocate the message of the importance of childhood. We want everyone, especially parents, to know that childhood is the most crucial turning point of people’s lives as it is the foundation in building personalities and characters. It is the time where children learn a lot about life through observing people around them. It is the time when children’s brain develops and much of its ‘wiring’ is laid down. Childhood Is Crucial is a campaign to raise awareness among adults, especially parents to always give, create and choose the best childhood experience for their little ones. 

Cheerful Innovative Classroom  is also another campaign that we are introducing this upcoming year! This campaign largely highlights our dedicated team, especially our teachers, the frontliners who are always warm, cheerful and committed to make sure every classroom in CIC is cheerful and innovative. Our team is committed to provide many innovative ideas in order to make sure our Young Leaders to enjoy their learning experience with CIC. It is our promise to serve our prestigious customers with increased dedication in years to come.   

 

I look forward to see more students with us, InshaAllah. Therefore, stay with us CIC Where Leaders Are Born. Thank you so much and congratulations again for all Young Leaders who have graduated with CIC Where Leaders Are Born. 

 

Thank you.
