Assalamualaikum Warahmatullahi Wabarakatuh
All praise be to Allah SWT who has been giving us some mercies and blessing, we have established Yayasan Khazanah Cahaya Iman (YKCI) and started its activity by developing Cahaya Rancamaya Islamic Boarding School in Bogor.
This activity is based on our belief as Muslims who are obliged to encourage other Muslims and also our people (Indonesian) to raise and develop international standard of education with a concept of Islam as a religion that brings mercy, prosperity and peace for the entire humanity (rahmatan lil aalaamien).
There is a challenge to all of us to alter a status as consumers of knowledge that have been discovered by developed countries to become producers of science and technology for the benefit of entire mankind. Therefore, we may be have an equality with those countries. This objective is a very long journey and requires hard and smart work from us including our next generations. Hence, we start to achieve the goal with the belief of Bi’idznillah, Faidza ‘Azamta Fatawakkal’ Alallah” (We can only fight our common enemies, namely ignorance and poverty with an education based on believe to Allah SWT.
We hereby persuade and urge to all Muslims, scholars and philanthropist to participate in YKCI activities with the spirit of fastabikul khairat, race towards goodness. This foundation belongs to all of us, so let ourselves spread Islam as a religion that brings liberty, independence, peace, social justice and prosperity for mankind.
