By: Gr. 7 Students @ Bayaan Academy

Students in Grades 6/7 have looked at some of the great values that were the foundation of America in their Social Studies Class. Those values are : justice, valor, perseverance, purity, innocence, hardiness, vigilance. We have found that these values are timeless and are also values shared in our Islamic tradition. The students were asked to come up with a sentence expressing these values from an Islamic perspective.
