MOTTO

For indeed, with hardship [will be] ease,
Indeed, with hardship [will be] ease.
(Al- Insyiraah: 5-6)

And let those [executors and guardians] fear [injustice] as if they [themselves] had
left weak offspring behind and feared for them. So let them fear Allah and speak
words of appropriate justice.
(An-Nisa: 9)

Fighting has been enjoined upon you while it is hateful to you. But perhaps you
hate a thing and it is good for you; and perhaps you love a thing and it is bad for
you. And Allah Knows, while you know not.
(Al-Baqarah: 216)
