"In the Messenger of God is a Beautiful Model for the one who hopes to meet with God, the Last Day, and remembers God much". The Prophet (s) is a role model. A walking Qur'an - a guide. Success in this world and in the hereafter is marked by his footsteps. Character Education Program is a modest endeavor to imitate this Beautiful Model. I highly encourage all students and alumni to make it their goal to become People of God. DAILY PRACTICE:
*Daily dhikr: SubhanAllahi wa bihamdihi * SubhanAllahi al-Azeem 100x
istagh-firullah 100x
Bismillah before you do anything
salutation on the Prophet (s) 10x in the morning and evening.
**Weekly - Guard your tongue. Beware of foul language: Do not practice, listen, or promote it. Beware of wasting time on the internet - no excuses. Beware of Bad companions

Take Care of Yourself NBIC July 20, 2007
O You who Believe, take care of yourself, the one who goes astray cannot harm you if you are on guidance. You shall return to God and He will inform you of your deeds (5:105)
The process of change begins first from within. The stories of Khalifa Omar and Hanzala (r) clearly show this attribute in the first community of believers.
Gupshup/Najwa ... campus buzz
In this section I would like to share with you what other students are sharing with me :) I will be very open with all of you ... Here is a list of ideas/concerns I am hearing from the students:
- A petition for unity of the two clubs
- Need a prayer place on College Ave with a small Islamic library.
- Muslim students fund raising Basketball tournament in making.
- Want to play in a Muslim flag football league.
- The goal of the chaplain should be to unite Muslims on campus.
- Need to have a Qur'an class
- NY Times article 2/4/07 on shia/sunna had an obvious bias
- History of Karbala talk by the chaplain was well-balanced and helpful in understanding the tragedy and uniting shia' and sunni Muslims.
- Students want to work with chaplaincy.
- ISRU elections
- PSA Bhangra Night!
- al-Fatiha completion Event
-B-Ball Event was a great success with 12 teams
-Around 500 people attended Rutgers-Newark Napoleon Event.
-Sirah of the Prophet (s) - part of Quran Study Group - mashAllah the attendance was great.
-Unity Dinner - unity of hearts and minds - the biggest challange on campus today.
- Scavenger hunt was a great idea, MSA Salam - Quiz Bowl, ISRU Brothers are the new champs! - 3rd annual IAW, Islam Awareness Week...plenty of work - need for prayer space for students - chaplaincy & interfaith at New Brunswick Theological Seminary - next year community projects - RU and dawah on campus - coming years RU should be a dawah hub cause there are 3-4000 Muslims on campus
