Our Theme This Year
"Join Hands - Serve the Community"
Join Hands - Serve the Community
This year, NSC 2019 will join hands with one another and others in our community and work towards raising a generation that will unite and serve our communities, building them into places that are safe, healthy and vibrant.
Our Lord has created us as stewards on this Earth whose purpose is to worship and serve Allah through ritual worship and service to humanity. This is clear in the Quran as well as in the tradition of our beloved Prophet PBUH who said "The most beloved of people according to Allah is he who brings most benefit”. We are social beings that are meant to be a part of something greater than ourselves, and members of many communities –our neighborhoods, towns, state, country, and world – all of which serve us, and that we must in turn serve. Communities are made of more than one, and with every additional person that serves that community, it grows better and stronger.
Our journey on this path will take us from the self to beyond as we first consider the blessings that Allah has bestowed upon us and the individual talents and interests that each one of us has, and then how to utilize those blessings and talents in fulfilling our responsibilities towards our community. We will learn about essential components of service and community, such as self-development and team work, and the value that each and every person brings to the table.
