ذكرى تأسيس جمعيّة المقاصد


كلمة رئيس جمعيّة المقاصد الأستاذ أمين الداعوق بمناسبة ذكرى تأسيس المقاصد 135

كل عام والمقاصديّين الأصيلين بحمىً من الله تعالى بألف خير... 135 عالماً مضت على الّلحظة الّتي قال فيها الأبرار حمداً لك يا من يسّرتنا لتأليف جمعيّة تقوم بمقاصدنا الخيريّة... كلمات جميلة كتبها أحرار بنّاءون غير هدّامون...فاستمرّت أجيال ونفعت الأجيال هؤلاء لم يتفوهوا بما يهدم ... قرأوا قرآناً صادقاً
...عملوا بموجب آياته العظيمة في سورة إبراهيم

بسم الله الرَّحْمَنِ الرَّحِيمِ

 

صدق الله العظيم

 





كل عام والمقاصديّين  بألف خير

 The Box that had three hairs of Prophet Mohammad (PBUH) is to be kept by Makassed University (Faculty of Higher Islamic Studies). The hairs were presented to the Omari Grand Mosque in Down Town, Beirut by the Ottoman Sultan in 1862, but the locked box was looted among other items from the mosque in the war of 1976.

A Week in the Life Project: Makassed OBK Voicethreads



Fourth Graders at Makassed OBK School were divided into groups of six to eight other students to share and create voicethreads. They have researched different topics in their community. After discussing their ideas with their friends through the "Popplet" tool, they collected multimedia for their topics to add them to their sub- group voicethreads.
The topics were:
School, Leisure Time, Housing and Transportation, Food and Celebrations, Clothing and Language, and Environment. 
The guided questions were:
  • What are the similarities and differences among children around the world and how can we connect through commonalities?
  • How does your geography impact your theme topic? 
    Here are some of the voicethreads of fourth graders sub- groups:
