OPENING REGARDS

Tasnim Seif - 11th Grade


Assalamualaikum and welcome to the 2021-2022 school year! My name is Tasnim Seif, and I have been blessed with the role of Editor-In Chief of Noor-Ul-Iman’s Oculus newspaper.

I would first like to announce that there is a change to the publication this year, as the Oculus newspaper has gone completely virtual. All of our work will be uploaded to the Oculus site in cycles where you will be able to find articles from every genre.

In addition to the change in our form of publication, we have also changed our logo! Our newly updated logo was created with the goal of fully encapsulating what we, a group of young Muslim journalists, aim to implement with our newspaper. The water droplet in our logo represents the knowledge that we share with the hope that it ripples out from our school community to the world at large. Our dedicated writers will continue to implement their strong passion for writing in this paper, whether it be work pertaining to current events, Islamic/inspirational advice, or updates from within our own school community, among other things. It is our duty to ensure that this newspaper will provide beneficial information and updates on stories of all sorts, that will not only educate our fellow schoolmates, but the world; which is one of the many reasons we decided to create this new, easily accessible online platform.

As this year’s Editor-In-Chief, I hope to create a comfortable online environment for our community, InshaAllah, with the help of our wonderful Oculus team, and devoted advisor, Mrs. Correne. I am beyond grateful for the opportunity to possess this responsibility and furthermore I cannot wait to uphold the team’s promise to spread knowledge throughout our wonderful community! We hope you enjoy reading this paper as much as we enjoy writing it!

-Tasnim Seif

The Oculus is an ever-evolving newspaper thanks to our forward thinking students and supportive administration. This year our newspaper will be in the form of a pdf that will come out at regular intervals, in sha Allah. Our writers, photographer and design team put a lot of effort and dedication into collaborating on this newspaper. We hope you enjoy it as much as we do.

This year we have a brand new logo design. We hope you enjoy it.

The Oculus Newspaper is created entirely by the students of Noor-Ul-Iman School in Monmouth Junction, New Jersey.
