Annual Friendship & Endowment (Waqf) Dinner

It is with the deepest respect and warmest regard that we extend to you this gracious invitation to the Respect Graduate School Annual Friendship and Endowment (Waqf) Dinner, to be held on Friday, the Twelfth of December, following the Isha prayer, at our campus in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania.

This will be an evening of significance and grace — one that gathers a circle of distinguished benefactors, scholars, and friends who share a reverence for knowledge and a vision for its enduring legacy.

Since its founding, Respect Graduate School has been devoted to advancing the study of Islam through rigorous scholarship and thoughtful inquiry. With an unwavering commitment to intellectual and moral excellence, we now stand poised to become one of the most prestigious accredited universities on the East Coast — a legacy institution that will inspire minds and serve humanity for generations to come.

We are honored to welcome Dr. Zara Khan as our keynote speaker for the evening. Dr. Khan will offer a distinguished reflection on the sacred tradition of endowment (Waqf) and the profound meaning of becoming a Founding Member — those visionaries whose generosity and foresight will secure the foundation upon which Respect Graduate School shall continue to grow and flourish.

With this letter, we extend a most cordial call to join our distinguished circle of Founding Members, whose partnership in the Endowment will ensure that the light of learning and leadership emanating from Respect Graduate School endures through the ages.

Your presence will be received with the highest honor and deepest appreciation. Kindly confirm your attendance through the RSVP link below. Dinner shall be served following the program.

With our warmest regards and gratitude,

Dr. Suleyman Eris
President, Respect Graduate School

Dr. Sezai Sablak
Chair, Board of Trustees
