AHMED SALLAM -- Visionary Innovator with High Integrity
قُلْ هَٰذِهِۦ سَبِيلِىٓ أَدْعُوٓاْ إِلَى ٱللَّهِ ۚ عَلَىٰ بَصِيرَةٍ أَنَا۠ وَمَنِ ٱتَّبَعَنِى ۖ وَسُبْحَٰنَ ٱللَّهِ وَمَآ أَنَا۠ مِنَ ٱلْمُشْرِكِينَ
My vision for GIS students is to grow and develop and become best and most effective community leaders, be leaders where they end being and be the new leaders of America and hence the entire world. My vision implementation is based on learning, mastering, and practicing various core life, scientific, and leadership skills
I further pray to Allah as I envision for our students:
To be self-disciplined, possess high personal qualities, master a wide variety of essential skills,
To be able to form groups and lead teams. To love innovation and be able to invent and solve problems, to learn and be curious.
To be socially aware and prepared to handle external pressure and challenges.
To be practical individuals focusing on actions, results, and outcomes.
To be entrepreneurs who have the courage and determinism to explore new ideas and pursue their own dreams.
To have a strong impact wherever they go and be perceived as trustworthy reliable individuals and groups and be able to dive deeply to solve problems.
To be cautious and clever about how they spend their time and put their efforts and energy.
To have a strong sense of belonging to our community, be purpose driven and focused on serving Muslims and all of humanity.
To love one other and not to be selfish, self-centered, or driven by other people’s perception of their appearance or superficial representation.
To love mathematics, science, engineering, and technology deeply.
Lastly, I envision for GIS students to have strength in all aspects of their life so they may participate in reforming and growing the Muslim communities which can not happen without strong faith and sincerity, disciplined characters, organized team efforts, brilliant creative minds, and productive individuals while having a strong foundation in science, technology, math, and engineering.
May Allah make all of that happen during our lifetime, make our children and us all valuable and productive elements to implement such vision.
