Tuesday June 20 2017 was Graduation for Grade 7 students of the British Columbia Muslim School.

Found myself attending this ceremony having stayed inside Richmond Jamea Masjid after Fajr / Dawn Prayers where I took a nap, catching up on some long overdue sleep.

الْمُؤْمِنُ الْقَوِىُّ خَيْرٌ وَأَحَبُّ إِلَى اللَّهِ مِنَ الْمُؤْمِنِ الضَّعِيفِ وَفِى كُلٍّ خَيْرٌ
