Assalamu Alkiom Wa Rahmat Allah Wa Barakatoh
I am extremely excited to introduce myself to
the great members that make up this great and
well respected institution known as the
prestigious Arizona Cultural Academy. My name is
Samah Bkhaitan, and it is my pleasure to be
working with a great environment that allows me
to interact with the respectful Islamic
community in Arizona. I am pleased that I have
the opportunity to be surrounded with
individuals that obtain great pride in ensuring
their children, and providing them with a
prospect to receive the best education possible
in an Islamic setting.
Being part of ACA
as a staff member, and as a parent provides me a
well rounded perspective that allocates me to
thank the most gracious and most merciful Allah
for this wonderful opportunity. With Allah (SWT)
the all knowing, I am hopeful that with the
combination of my education, working experience,
personal abilities, skills and knowledge I will
be competent to provide a substantial
contribution to the excelling educational
environment know as ACA. It is a pleasure to be
here and I am looking forward to participation
with all the respected staff, family and
students towards providing our Islamic community
a potential future equipped with great leaders
and individuals.
Wa Salaam Salamu Alikom Wa Rhamat Allah and
JazakomAllah Khyran.
