We had the honour of gathering for an extraordinary evening yesterday, bringing our hearts together as we reflected on the teachings and example of our beloved Prophet Muhammad (SAV). We were privileged to welcome our newly appointed Consul General, Ms. Belgin Ergüneş, our esteemed Director, Mr. Necmi Uzun, and several distinguished guests who joined us for this meaningful occasion.
The evening was a moment of reflection on the values that shape us as individuals and as a society. We were reminded of the importance of character building, as inspired by the life of Prophet Muhammad (SAV). His life, characterized by faith, morality, and wisdom, is a timeless guide. At Maarif, we are deeply committed to instilling these values, believing that individuals who embody virtues such as compassion, reliability, and integrity contribute positively to their families, communities, and humanity.
During the program, we also expressed our condolences for the recent tragic loss of our students from Gambia Maarif Schools—Zeina, Zahraa, and Banin, along with their mother, Muna Katbay—who were martyred in Lebanon due to Israeli attacks. Our hearts are with the Maarif family, and we ask the world to work towards ending such suffering and injustice.
As we gathered in solidarity, we prayed for peace and hope, especially for those enduring hardship, oppression, and conflict, such as the people of Gaza. We must remain united, compassionate, and hopeful, believing we can overcome adversity together.
The success of our children at night was worthy of praise. Their narrations of our Prophet's life, hymns, and plays made the audience cry and laugh, taking them on a journey to reality. We congratulate all our staff: Ayşe Açıkkol, Ergul Uybadin, Fisun Benlisoy, Hatice Kocalar, Özge Akçelik, Muhammed Ordukaya, Reyhan Er, Meyra Bicer, Seyma Akdemir, Muhammed Talha Sen, Tutku Sahin, Ülkü Türkmen and Zeliha Uzun. I want to thank our Director, Mr. Necmi Uzun, who is the organizer and manager of this beautiful program. We look forward to the next one.
The evening concluded with a heartfelt moment as we bid farewell to our Director, Mr. Necmi Uzun, who has dedicatedly served our school over the past five years. We thank him for his commitment and contributions and wish him all the best in his future endeavours. Mr. Hank Hakan Evecek, on behalf of the school staff, presented a plaque of appreciation.
