The current state of our ummah, which is rife with poverty, injustice, and pusillanimity, require that we do our part to bring about a change. The creation of this society is our humble effort towards that. It is only through a conscious desire for change supplemented with an actual effort that we can improve our condition as Allaah Azzawajal, the Most High, tells us in the Holy Qur`an, “Verily! Allaah (Azzawajal) will not change the condition of a people as long as they do not change their state themselves” (13:11). Under the umbrella of this society, we hope to invest in programs, publications, and activities promoting the true illuminating ideals of our complete way of life, al-Islam —ideals of humanitarian efforts, of exhorting of good and discouraging of evil, and of professionalism. We started off with the Annual Islamic Perspectives Conferences in 2008 along with the magazine ‘Transcend’. Alhamdulillaah, with the help of Allaah Azzawajal, we successfully followed up the conference in 2008 with another conference in 2009 with the theme ‘Enlightened Moderation: The New World Order?’ and then another in 2010 with the theme ‘’. Then in 2011, we came up with an even bigger plan, Shifa Inter-Scholastic Tournament (SIST), in which we called on to the various college and university students to get together and challenge themselves in Islamic-based competitions such as tajweed, anaasheed, calligraphy, Islamic jeopardy etc. We divided our competitions days into two parts, the mornings (and afternoons) for the competitions while the evenings were reserved for lectures delivered by our respected speakers and revered scholars. SIST was further continued in 2012 (with the theme ‘Mission Submission, Bow Down to Rise’) and in 2013 (with the theme ‘6 Feet Below and Beyond’) and alhamdulillaah, with your contributions and participation, we have been expanding more and more. The Shifa Student Society functions under the guidance of senior faculty members of the Shifa College of Medicine and is a student-run, non-profit organization. We have a vision to link together students from all schools, colleges, and universities in this virtuous venture. We look forward to monetary and other contributions and suggestions from the public in furthering this noble mission —the noble mission of all the Prophets of God. By contributing to this cause monetarily, one can share in the task and also gain the immense reward in this dunyah and the hereafter that Allaah Azzawajal promises those who spend in His cause. We pray to Allaah Azzawajal that He makes us sincere in our efforts and accepts from us what little we do to spread His word. Verily, man is in loss. Except those who believe and do righteous good deeds, and recommend one another to the truth, and recommend one another to patience.” [al-Asr 103:1-3]
