Dear Believers,

I, Sister Zainab Farrakhan, take great pleasure in welcoming all of the competitors to the Saviour's Day 2012 Essay and Art Competition. The theme this year is "My Idea of Heaven on Earth."

The theme chosen, "My Idea of Heaven on Earth," is not merely an idea. It is actually the Promise of Allah (God) to the believers and the faithful. It is His will and choice to bestow this great favor upon the righteous that it may serve as a bearing of witness to the world.

We who will judge this competition are interested in knowing your idea of “Heaven on Earth”. Your Essay and Artwork will give you the opportunity to share your heartfelt feelings and experiences in a very unique and special way. The competition is designed to bring forth the Creative Mind, which in essence is the Mind of Allah (God).

I look forward to seeing your submissions. Thank you all so much.

As Salaam Alaikum.

Your Sister in Faith,
Zainab Farrakhan
