Chairman's Letter

Author: Shaykh Haytham Tamim, Chairman, Utrujj Foundation
Date: 28/02/2009

Since the creation of mankind, we have been perpetually encountering tests and challenges. These challenges bring about a continuous chain of events throughout ones life and for each individual person they unfold a tailor made story board. The wise and fortunate one is the person who can read and understand the situation he or she is in and subsequently act appropriately.

With the intensity of work life, the pressures of earning, the everyday turmoil within daily existence, the on-going tests and trials, the demands of the metropolitan rat race, the time constraints that we all experience, and the tiredness and heedlessness, we forget ourselves. As a result we are inclined to lose ourselves within the complexity of this world.

Modern lifestyle is stealing from us time for family and friends. In addition, we are hastening to perform everything in our lives; we pray with speed, consume food quickly, rush around and even speak hurriedly.

We have become oblivious to when the calendar month commences or ends, and likewise when the year begins to taper off. In this hubbub that everyone is familiar with, our thoughts and actions become fragmented. We go to pieces, scattering ourselves in every direction, consequently we need allocated time to think, in order to gather our various fragments and pieces. We need to take time away from work, the street and from the internet and so on. Time to take a step back to think, ponder and to reflect.

At Utrujj, we aspire to spread the fragrance of the message in a fresh and innovative way, appropriate for people living in the 21st century, to encourage them to experience and taste the sweetness which resonates from it. By combining both traditional and contemporary teaching methods, we aim to deliver knowledge in an appealing and coherent way through speaking the language of the people. We intend for students to reflect the true message as it infuses into their understanding, strongly impacting upon their personalities and character. We embrace universality, open mindedness, positive and forward thinking. The mission is to inspire people towards goodness and knowledge, sharing a common purpose, and finding the equilibrium in life between our duties, responsibilities and human needs.

Our purpose is to provide authentic, clear, conveyable and approachable knowledge to simply spread the sacred message.
