TEACH FOR AKHIRAH - A PROJECT INITIATED BY ASCEND

ASCEND, led by Moqheeta Mehboob for the past nine years, is an organization dedicated to helping individuals attain the highest level of Jannah by fostering mutual support. With the tagline "Helping each other reach greater heights of Jannah," ASCEND believes that collective effort leads to greater spiritual success. The organization has touched many areas of Islamic education and community support, offering a wide range of services, including:

- Tajweed classes  
- Nazera classes  
- Hifz classes  
- Teacher training  
- Developing Islamic-integrated curricula for schools  
- Parenting workshops  
- Islamic will workshops  
- Funeral washing and shrouding workshops  
- Charity drives  
- Supporting madaris with quality education  

ASCEND is always expanding its team, encouraging sisters to join and help others in Quran memorization. They offer a personalized Hifz program specifically for women, allowing participants to tailor their memorization schedules around their responsibilities. ASCEND seeks sisters skilled in Tajweed to listen to others and support them in their Hifz journey, while also emphasizing the importance of understanding the background and significance of the Surahs being memorized.

Another key area where ASCEND seeks support is in connecting children to the Creator through the Quran. Teachers are encouraged not only to focus on traditional Quran reading but also to help children contemplate its stories and messages.

ASCEND is open to training those who wish to contribute, ensuring that everyone involved becomes part of a bigger mission to serve the Ummah and reach greater spiritual heights together.

The Boy Who Preferred a Knife

Image
by Moqheeta Mehboob The title sounds astonishing, doesn’t it? Even I was taken aback when this young boy asked for a knife. We often watch short inspiring stories on social media or read them in Reader’s Digest or other good books. But I feel truly privileged to have experienced a real-life moment of inspiration—one worth sharing. During my work stay at Tamani School in Zanzibar, one Sunday, my husband and I decided to visit the local market just for the experience.You learn so much about a place’s culture and practices from raw, unpolished spaces like local markets. To fully immerse myself, I opted to take the same local transport the residents use. As I was boarding the dala dala —the public minibus—I was pleasantly surprised to see a group of boys from Tamani School also getting on. They greeted me enthusiastically, and I was impressed to see them so early in the morning, dressed neatly and ready for the day. They got off at Kinyasini—the very market I was headed to. Curious, I ask...

Child’s Nutrition: Nourishing the Body and Soul    By Moqheeta Mehboob   Food—the first love for many—is not merely a necessity for survival. It is a source of joy, comfort, and togetherness. Sharing meals or feeding loved ones brings immense happiness. For parents, the simple act of watching their child eat well serves as a soothing balm, filling their hearts with a sense of fulfillment and relaxation. In Islam, this act of love holds spiritual significance, as Allah smiles upon the sincere expression of a parent's care. By nourishing their children, parents mirror Allah’s attributes of being the Provider and Sustainer.   However, the question arises: Are parents overdoing this act of love?

Practical Learning at Schools By Moqheeta Mehboob It was a significant day—the day you decided to contribute to the community, the next generation, and the betterment of humanity by starting a school. You worked tirelessly to ensure the highest quality of education and instill good morals in the students. However, as time passed, other priorities may have overshadowed some finer details. Yet, it is often these finer details that define our identity and purpose. I have a few simple, actionable suggestions that can be implemented at any school. These can help shape students into responsible, empathetic individuals. One for You as My Gratitude:   This is a heartwarming idea that could make a difference: dedicating one day each month when students bring an extra portion of lunch for the school’s support staff. This small act would mean a lot to the staff and instill a sense of gratitude in students. A different class could take turns each month to invite the staff for lunch, foste...
