Strategic Visions |Father To A Son

                 (Father to a son)
                                       Purpose of Vision
Giving best possible upbringing (tarbiat) to my son is an obligation (Fardh) on me as
a parent.

Through his husn-e-sulook, wisdom, practical approach and intellect, he will be a
source of inspiration to his circle of influence and his younger brother.

Because Allah (swt) has created this Ummah to lead the world towards goodness
(khair) and to stop them from the evil (Sharr), his life will contribute in eventually
bringing humanity to the complete submission to Allah (swt) and the revival of the
Ummah to its former glory.

My son's development will contribute in fulfilling my vision and Inshallah will be a
Sadqa-e-Jaaria for me and my wife. This will earn me Allah's (swt) blessings and his
pleasure (Raza).

My son will be able to fulfill the requirements of his role as Abdullah with excellence
(Ehsan).
