Our values
Respect
Respect is in every part of the College. With diversity comes cultural distinction from over 40 corners of the world. We promote respect for all cultures, for all ethnic backgrounds, and we expect our students to adhere to this cornerstone value. Respect means inclusion. Respect means compassion. Respect means all school stakeholders have the freedom to be heard. We listen, we understand, we include, because we respect.
“He is not of us who is not affectionate to his young ones and does not honour the elderly; and he is not of us who does not encourage what is good and prohibit what is evil.” Prophet Muhammad (s.a.w)
“O you who believe! No men should (ever scoff) at other men. Maybe, the latter are better than the former. Nor should women (ever scoff) at other women. Maybe the latter women are better than the former ones. And do not find fault with one another, nor call one another with bad nicknames. Bad is the name of sinfulness after embracing faith. If anyone does not repent, then such people are wrong doers.” {Qur’an Surat Al Hujraat 49:11}

Integrity
Integrity is as important as reading, writing and mathematics. Islamic values mean peace, acceptance and strong moral principles, for all. Ilim students are caring, honest, authentic and loyal because we expect that of them, and all their interactions.
“And when they hear false and vain talk, they withdraw from it and say, ‘to us our deeds and, to you your deeds, Peace be to you. We seek not the ignorant.” {Qur’an Surah Al Qasas 28:55}
“No man can attain a true faith, unless he develops strength of character and that cannot be achieved unless one acquires the habit of speaking the truth.” Prophet Muhammad (s.a.w)

Empathy
Empathy makes a good man, a good woman, a good human. The Prophet Muhammad (Peace be upon him) expected empathy from himself and from everyone. Towards ever human being living. Towards the environment. We ask our students to reflect this compassion. Without question. When others face challenges or hardships, our students walk in their shoes.
“(You shall do) good to (your) parents, and to the near of kin and to the orphans and the needy, and you shall speak to men good words.” 2:83
“Woe to those who give short measure, who demand of other people full measure for themselves, but give less than they should, when it is they who weigh or measure for others!” {Qur’an Al Mutaffifin 83:13}

Commitment
Commitment means not settling for second-best. Not taking the easy way out. Our students are taught to strive for the pinnacle solution based on strong reasoning and judgement. Based on wisdom, compassion and inclusivity.
“And each man is held responsible for his own actions.” Prophet Muhammad (s.a.w)
“Who is the most favoured of God: The one from whom the greatest good comes to His creatures.” Prophet Muhammad (s.a.w)

Excellence
We ourselves are responsible to aspire to our own excellence. Being open to new ideas and insights means we can continually improve ourselves.
“For everyone there is a direction to which he turns his face. Strive, then to excel each other in good deeds. Wherever you are, Allah will bring you all together. Allah is certainly powerful over everything.” {Qur’an Al -Baqarah 2:148}
“The best of people are those that bring most benefit to the rest of mankind.” Prophet Muhammad (s.a.w)
