Cooperation/ Teamwork
Here is the hadith that I read and Mr.Mbengue translated.
The Prophet of Islam, Prophet Muhammad (s). was once traveling with his companions. They stopped at a place to have something to eat and then rest. They decided to slaughter a sheep and roast it.
One of them said, "I shall do the slaughtering."
The other said, "I shall remove the skin."
The third one said, "I shall do the roasting."
Each one of them volunteered to do one piece of work.
The Prophet of Islam said, "I shall collect and bring the firewood from the forest."
The companions said, "Oh Prophet! You need not take the trouble. We shall attend to everything."
The Prophet said, "I know you can do everything. But I do not like to enjoy a preferential treatment from you. God Almighty does not like to see a person distinguishing himself from his companions." Thus the Prophet went and brought firewood from the forest;
This is one of the examples set by the Prophet of Islam on co-operation and working together for a common good.

Hygiene Week Poetry Winners
Congratulations to the 2 winners!
English winner - Aby, 8th grade and
French winner - Ndeye Marieme, 6th grade
Clean hates dirt
Clean hates dust
In Islam you have to be clean
That's a must
To avoid getting sick, wash your hands everyday
To take all of the germs away
Clean isn't mean
So just stay clean
by Aby
Oh La Santé
La santé procure la bien-être.
on la préserve en étant propre.
De l'intérieur comme de l'extérieur du corps.
ô santé habite moi sans toi on ne peut pas
travailler ni jouer ni manger.
ô santé ô toi noble santé.
Qu'Allah puisse te préserver toujours à mes cotés.
