Muhammad Ali & the ukuwah

Muhammad Ali, I have previously I noticed how you cared for younger children at An-nur,
and your kind natural interactions with them. You have continued to be beside the young-
er children, you observe and read their cues, you try to calm and distract them when they
settle in the morning and you know their routines. Recently we have a new Boy Tim start
with us, he's not much younger than you, but you still took him under your wing. In the be-
ginning Tim wasn't too sure about An-Nur and all the new faces, but you were consistent in
your caring role and were always beside him. Now Tim participates more and more with
you. you really have formed a beautiful friendship with Tim and the other littlies you care
for. You are quite protective of the younger children too, sometimes when other children
are too close you will come in between them and you can effectively and calmly negotiate
and resolve any conflict! Your language and communication is also increasing as a result of
your interest in building relationships. You have a wide range of complex communication
skills, you can effectively judge the other children's intentions and appropriately react,
with nothing needing to be said. You can communicate effectively between your peers in
Arabic calmly and respectfully, that’s a sign of a great leader! You can easily explain for oth-
ers who don't understand, sometimes even me! I have been observing your interactions
over some time and you continue to build on the skills you already have with each child
you love. I love you adaptive you are, you know each child is different and has different
likes and dis-likes and needs, the children will seek you out when they need your help, you
seem to have a way of making them feel safe and comfortable, you are their safe place,
you are reliable for them . You know to get help if you need it too, you come and explain to
a teacher. Its beautiful to watch children interact without teachers in such a caring manner.
Muhammad Ali, you instinctively know what to do through your ukuwah and they really
trust you. You have a sense of responsibility for the children & once told that you are
Rowaa Dad! That’s how you see yourself.
Muhammad Ali, you are Mastering skills for growing relationships with oth-
ers (younger and older), you are growing your communication skills for in-
creasingly complex purposes and you have gained recognition of non-verbal
communication skills too, you seem to be able to communicate with the
younger children with just a look!
Today you brought a toy from home to share with Tim, at first you were
protective of your toy from the other children, but as soon as Tim arrived
you happily let him explore alongside you.
