Allah ﷻ mentions "glad tidings" several times in the Quran. This term reminds us of the bounties of Allah ﷻ that we are enjoying today and the bounties that we will enjoy in paradise by the will of God.
Inspired by this, Ayesha Haroon has named her social service initiative – Glad Tidings.

Family is the backbone of every society. This is where the older generation is taken care of, the adults act as positive role models and younger generations are raised.
However, at times challenges of life and society lead us off the path. If you are in such challenges, don't despair, help is at hand! Our family coaching services aim to help you connect and communicate with yourself and your family in a way that is easy and fun, less time consuming, less stressful, and the most rewarding for your life and spiritual beliefs.
Organizing occasional hangouts, meetings, potlucks, events, trips and programs, our Youth Club is a happy place to be.
