We regret to inform you that this Friday's community night halaqa and dinner must be canceled. It is due to requirements related to our Use and Occupancy permit application. We apologize for the late notice.

Jazaakumullahu khayran for your patience and understanding.

Dear community members, we want to let you know about some changes that are occurring at the school. As many of you know, we are currently in the process of making changes to the building and grounds in order to receive our Use and Occupancy Permit. Many of these changes are very good for us, and are things that we as a community are benefiting from, such as expanding our programs into off-site locations in order to accommodate our continued growth, and making needed safety-related repairs. Alhamdulillah.

Other changes may not appear logical at first. However, these changes are required at this time in order for us to meet our permit obligations, and so we can move forward.

One noticeable change in the next few weeks will be the removal of the brick landscaping pavers in the front of the school and their replacement with grass. We know that this will be unexpected, but again it is a necessary part of the process to obtain our Use and Occupancy Permit.

Please be patient with all of these changes over the next several weeks, and be kind to those who are presenting challenges in our growth process. Think of this as a character-building test from Allah (subhanahu wa ta'ala), and insha'Allah we will ultimately reap the rewards.

Jazaakumullahu khayran for your understanding. If you have any questions or concerns, please contact the DUS Shura at 301-982-9848 or This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it .
