Core Values
Our core values of Khidma (service), Rahma (mercy) and Ihsan (spiritual excellence) are at the essence of all that we do.
- Khidma (service) – it is through serving the community that we serve our Creator and in turn ourselves. Service has the ability to engender humility, sincerity and gratitude.
- Rahma (mercy) – it is through mercy and compassion that we connect with our Creator and inner-selves. Mercy opens our hearts to our fellow human beings regardless of their spiritual state or status quo and guides us to create a harmonious society that values life and our planet.
- Ihsan (spiritual excellence) – it is through striving for spiritual excellence that we humble ourselves, temper our egos and cleanse our souls. We are reminded of our Creator’s presence and seek God’s pleasure over and above personal desires and wants. It is also a means to refine our hearts and minds.
