TIGER Values
The TIGER (Tradition, Innovation, Growth, Education, Reform) values are epitomized through this project in the following ways:
Tradition: The project pays homage to the rich historical and cultural traditions of Islamic scholarship. The construction of the dome and mausoleum is a nod to the architectural and scholarly heritage that Shaykh al-Islām al-Ḥāfiẓ Ibn Ḥajar al-’Asqalānī represents.
Innovation: While rooted in tradition, the project incorporates modern construction techniques and materials, ensuring the structure's durability and longevity. This blend of old and new reflects a progressive approach to preserving heritage.
Growth: The successful completion of this project represents growth in the recognition and appreciation of Islamic cultural heritage. It also signifies the growth of collaborative efforts between organizations dedicated to such causes.
Education: The mausoleum serves as an educational beacon, drawing scholars, students, and visitors interested in learning about Ibn Ḥajar al-’Asqalānī and his contributions to Islamic scholarship. It stands as a physical representation of the value of education in preserving cultural heritage.
Reform: Embracing reform, the project acknowledges the need to adapt and innovate while staying true to core values. This balance ensures that the preservation efforts remain relevant and impactful in contemporary society.
