Basically, following goals were the basis of my work as a chaplain at Rutgers University. I would like to share it with other chaplains and youth leaders to always have a game plan. There has to be a document outlining the scope of one’s work. This also works with being an imam or jumuah khatib. The main question that I always ask myself what am I trying to establish? What is lacking? and where I am going to put my time. So one has to prioritize their work/time and be able to establish a presence within the community.
wallahu ‘Allim!
